Thanks mate really appreciate the reply.
Ill get the off side ball joint done next month then.
How much (approx) would I be looking at for a new clutch including fitting?
Took it a Honda specialist near me and had all fluids, filters and spark plugs changed also noticed the NSF ball joint needed replacing so did that too.
Car runs great now, they didn't know what to do about the squeaky clutch though so its still there (very annoying) gear changes are much...
Hey all
I picked up a 09 petrol accord with 122k miles last month. Runs ok but has a few issues that need dealing with.
Theres a clunking sound when moving the steering wheel at idle or low speeds and when coming to a standstill
The clutch squeaks quite badly and gears are hard to engage...
Lexus IS250 2.5V6 6 speed Automatic - 70MPH 2.1k RPM
I did have a Gen 7 Accord 2.0 5speed manual and that sat at 3krpm @ 70mph one of the reasons I ended up selling it tbh.
I went with the original in the end £189 from Cox motor parts which is quite expensive considering what it is. Knowing what I know now i'd be comfortable going with an aftermarket part or getting the part custom made, both options are considerably cheaper.
Fixing took about 1.5 hours, it's not...
Hi I have the same car and mines the same, I think that's just the way the car is.
From what I've read the k20a6 isn't a performance based engine like the K24 (2.4) its set up more for efficiency than for power/performance
If i'm honest The 2.0 just doesn't quite know what it wants to be, It's...
their soundproofing kit is developed in house they use different materials for different parts of the car. The silent coat you have is a similar material to what they have used in the boot around the spare wheel and on the underside bonnet. They've used a much thicker material inside the car...
Decided to De badge mine today (remove the "accord" badge) back looks a lot cleaner now.
I also had some soundproofing fitted by a specialist company last week, I'll do a write up soon but It's transformed the car! definitely recommend.
thanks Buddy
Been looking into it and having a double din fitted below the original radio/aircon unit seems to be a great option, it'll give me android auto as well as DAB radio & bluetooth, its not cheap though (been quoted £700 for the unit plus fitting) but I think that's the route I'll...

thanks
The 2.4 was my original choice, just couldn't find one in good condition. In typical fashion a week after I bought the 2.0 an 8th gen 2.4 came up for sale from a dealer just around the corner from me. Excellent condition inside and out FSH and only £650 more than what I paid for the 7th gen 2.0...
Having the manual now I can see that being the case, there's not much low end grunt in the 2.0 so I'm guessing the box would find itself hunting for the correct gear quite often. I Hope my clutch lasts as long as yours has :)
