Thank you.

Thanks both and for sharing the link. My car has was with you a few years ago @F6HAD and I when you got rid of the soot keeper (!) you either changed the turbo or cleaned it - I can’t remember which. That was probably 140k miles ago. Is it expected the turbo to soot up again? Hopefully it will...

My EML fault code suggests the boost actuator needs cleaning or replacing. It’s a 227k car so if it can be cleaned it’s ok but I ***ume it’s an expensive operation to change the turbo relative to the car’s value so I’m just trying to gauge if it is worthwhile.

My EML has come on in the same way it did before visit to F6had a few years back. Came on when hard accelerating, car goes into limp mode and then if you switch off the car, when you switch it back on again the little EML warning light is on but the car runs fine. Now the last time it did this...

Thanks.

So before i but yet another set of fog lights for my 8th gen tourer, does anyone have any tips for protecting the glass from cracking/smashing?! Thanks.

My idtec accord auto went to F6HAD at less than 100k around 5/6years ago. It now has 220k+ plus miles on it. I have never got the higher mpg that I thought i would do (but then again never take it easy and never get less than 38mpg) but the car does not miss a beat.

My 11 yr diesel auto has 220k on it. Don't want to jinx it but all good.

Out of interest, is that a price for an auto or manual? I have an auto. No problems currently but it is a 59 plate auto idtec with 220k on the clock.

Transmission bushes when it happened on my diesel tourer. Expensive but judder gone.

Many thanks.

Out of the blue my front windscreen wiper motor appears to have failed. Are these easy to change? Anyone know if it’s worth opening it up to try and mend? I’m ***uming not. Thanks very much.

Hi. Over 4 years on and all is well. Car now at 210k with no problems.

Finally sorted this and it was engine mounts and propshaft bushes but as my car has now done 187k i was not wholly suprised! Not cheap but the problem has been solved.

I bought some on ebay recently (not cheap - new - from Japan) and they come white so need to colour coded in.
