Hi and thanks for your replies. Old pulley was visibly wobbly and making an annoying noise. Changed it for a brand new Honda Original (€350). Will reset and let you know. Thanks a lot. Emile

This happened a few weeks following exhaust manifold repair and the replacement of the crankshaft pulley... don't know if it is related. When on idle (warm or cold engine) there is a vibration which can be felt at the steering wheel and pedals (I'm sure it wasn't there). Engine pulls well and...

Interested - if not too late!

I can confirm that knocking noise was coming from the crankshaft pulley. I've just replaced mine and the noise is gone. This is what it sounded like - the wobble is visible too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9KHGRdbGno It was quite a straight forward job: Used the crank the engine trick...

The pentas are 17" so you will also need a new set of tyres. Don't know where you can get an entire set (breakers maybe?) but getting single ones off ebay should be fine - especially since you intend to have them all refurbished. I have goodyear eagle f1s on mine and they are very good

Started up without any problems - running much smoother and fumes are gone! Seems like it has been a success. Thanks again Typeaccord and Marius!

Great work Marius, I plucked up the courage to do the job myself. Almost finished and it was tough but doable. I have managed to avoid removing the flexible exhaust connection - just undid the two 12mm socket spring bolts - unhooked the rubber mounting and supported the weight of the rest of...

Hello, Suspecting, I've got the manifold issue. Pre-facelift 2005 diesel. Funny knocking noise especially at idle. Doesn't do it all the time - drove to my mechanic last weekend so that he could have a listen but it suddenly was fine! :( Here's what it sounds like...

All sorted thanks for all the tips! Was a very tight fit, in the end I held the tensioner released all the way while an ***istant turned the power steering pump pulley anti clockwise using a 19mm spanner. Used the short belt and replaced the tensioner bearing - although the old looks brand new...

Big cheers to Salim - thanks to you I have managed to remove my alternator - will be going in for a rebuild/service tomorrow. Had a bit of a struggle removing the sensor to the left of the cooling fan shroud - but figured it out in the end. Just a question about refitting - I do not need to...

Is it the green connector that you are referring to? I've removed the rear cover of the display unit here... Didn't think of wedging in a bit of plastic - just cleaned contact but it still plays up. Thanks

Anybody knows how to set the time without access to the satnav menu? My DVD drive's bust and satnav dvd all scratched. Thanks

Hi, I've had mine repaired in Malta for €40. It's like new now. If you're interested, I'll ask about the name of the place my mechanic took it to. Regards, Emile

Hi Michael, I hope you're as happy with your Accord as I am with mine. As Dan said the stage 1 remap is a new set of variables for the engine management system aimed at developing a better power output. The Accord is already fast but with this remap it is incredible! If you want to have a...

Hi, I've just been to the Honda dealer in Malta and asked for oil for my 2005 I-CDTi. They produced 6x1l Honda Branded 5w40 oil. I pointed out that the manual recommends 0w30 oil but they ***ured me that this requirement varies according to climate and that for our climate in Malta (+15 to...
