Hello lads, I'm writing on behalf of a colleague of mine. For a while, he's been complaining that the engine feels very sluggish at times and almost stalls in traffic. Reading the codes they're always P2008 and P2004, which would indicate IMRC solenoid valve circuit open and IMRC valve stuck...

Just to update this thread, I did remove the nut without much of a struggle and decided to drive around slowly to see if it made a difference. Two minutes later I hear a POP from under the bonnet and look to see that the metal collar has ejected itself from the strut tower so the damper rod...

Hi, I have a mysterious knocking noise over small bumps that's driving me up a wall. I've noticed that the front left side damper washer sits quite close to the edge of the strut tower hole and I'm suspecting that it may be the source of my noise. So I'm thinking about removing this bolt in the...

Hello everyone, a question for those who have replaced glow plugs. If you look up the part number you will see that there are two models: 12291-RBD-E01 and 12291-RL0-G01, the latter replacing the former starting from the 8th generation. Has anyone noticed a significant difference between the two...

Disconnecting the rain sensor connector seems to have done the trick! And no DTCs too :) Now this makes me wonder if that were to be disconnected, the system falls back to INT function regardless of what's written on the wiper? Bottom to top where the arrow indicates on the stalk, it wipes at 4...

Good day lads, I've got an eccentric goal with my Accord. Because I despise my janky auto wipers, I want to swap them out for the int variant instead. I have managed to found one and fitted it, however the wipers still act like the auto ones?! Is there something I need to change in the computer...

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about swapping out the Navi unit in my 2004 diesel for the regular head unit (still premium sound, auto climate and 6cd changer). I'm doing this because A) the Navi functionality is useless, B) the delay before being able to change A/C settings and C) just...

This is the Accord specific procedure:

We're gonna need more info about the car (diesel or petrol) and the fault in question (code or a picture). Good answers require good questions, after all.

While browsing the parts catalog, I stumbled across something that I haven't seen get mentioned here. Namely, a strainer for the oil pump, located on the side of the gearbox, towards the bottom (21180-PR8-016). Since I'm planning on changing the MTF anyway, I figured I'll take it out, give it a...

Something I've noticed is no one seems to replace this thing. Does it just not cause problems? If I stick a stethoscope on the vacuum line fitting attached to it, there's a wicked screeching; not sure if I should be worried about it. Curiously there's no aftermarket availability and of course...

When people ask me what coolant they should use for their Accords, I recommend them the original Type 2 or Ravenol HTC, as it has the same Honda approval and seems to work fine. However I noticed that the HTC coolant also has G11 approval. Researching further, it seems that G12++ or G13 coolant...

0W30 or 5W30.

Yep, it's suitable. The only caveat is possibly increased oil consumption.

The guides on here say to get 3 liters, not sure where you're getting 4.2 from?
