    A new clutch with a view to remap

    Hi! The clutch on my 2.2cdti is on its way out! I'd like to get a new one but with a view to also remapping the car. Will an oem clutch do the job?

    Gearing issue 2.2 diesel 56 regarding face lift exec

    Thanks guys. It's strange, like my car knows I'm talking about it. Because it's fine now! I know these cars have a self adjusting clutch but I didn't think it would be related or take like 2-300 miles to sort it. If that is what was wrong.

    first drive in my accord estate observation.

    Yea I thought it was a good find. I didn't think the fuel economy was that bad, I find my trip computer is saying high 50s in 6th at 70mph I know they aren't 100% accurate but it can't be too far off. As for ur clutch I've seen some exedy ones on ebay for not too much money maybe try that and...

    AUX lead

    I can't find an input for the aux at all in mine so I'm guessing it's a generic button for maybe a cassette system? And I can't seem to find an usb port either which is why I'm thinking it too. They don't fold when locked you have to remember to push the button before switching it off.

    Did u get it from a dealer as u should have a warranty or if it was quite soon a money back option. If a private sale then there ain't much come back unless they stated it was fit for purpose
