Hi I'm currently looking at accord 2.2cdti is there anything I should look out for when buying and common faults and is there good tuning options like remapp and dpf removed is it worth it?


Thanks luke
 
If you are looking for an 8th gen Accord (2008-2012) then they have the later 2.2 I-DTEC engine (the 2.2 i-CTDi was only fitted to the 7th gen and never had a DPF in the UK).

Either can be remapped and the DPF can be removed by specialists.
 
Thankyou for reply yes 8th gen I belive 59plate I am currently looking at. What about common faults? I need to look out for? And will a remapp be worth it?
 
Yes, we tune them every week. Check our Facebook page and search for feedback.

DPF and clutch are the weak points. See if there is evidence that these have been changed (or are OK) especially with a car that's getting on a bit.

Personally I'm not sure of the logic of buying an 'underpowered' car that needed a remap to give it the power that you really want... simply find yourself a more powerful car to start with! There is a 180 PS/BHP diesel version of these (which has a stronger clutch, amongst other things) but it's pretty rare.

Tell him the truth Jon, and advise he stays with his BMW, if not capable of making his own decision.
 
Bmw is no longer wanted had it 3years now get bored easy time for a change. Always been in to Hondas had them in the past b16civic. Bmw is mapped at 270bhp that's why I wanted to know about accord remapp see what power it's capable off. Want accord something still a little sensible
 
Standard 148 will do 200bhp with DPF and egr off. Type S will do 232bhp
 
Thankyou for that. That's all I wanted to know. Next question are they worth getting? Is the accord type s a diesel?
 
They're an excellent all round car, very good in every area and very reliable. Test drive one first and see if you like it.
