    Engine went into limp home mode and won't start

    Hi All, Sorry for the late reply, yeah that's the problem with used cars, even with service history you don't know if the right oil was used, whether the oil level was low for long periods, yep very premature to snap on this mileage. It did flash a limp home mode in the summer, but definitely...

    Engine went into limp home mode and won't start

    Hi All, just a quick update,my mechanic confirmed the chain had indeed snapped without warning, so the car's not worth fixing, on the hunt for a new car at the moment, a shame as I got a lot things fixed on it but just one of those things I guess.

    Cars been running fine so far, but have booked it into Honda to replace the fuel filter, I have to wait until the 19th so fingers crossed the car behaves until then and once changed the problem doesn't return

    Icdti limp home mode no warning lights

    Yes will definitely use a genuine fuel filter, might even get Honda to fit it, pretty cheap under Honda Happiness, being the Facelift the filter is more difficultto change hopefully it will be OK for a week or so before I can get it done

    Hi Fahad, no lights at all, had the AA check for fault codes and tested all engine sensor, they could not see any, took it back out for a long drive and it drove perfectly, so a bit stumped, will see how it behaves in the next few days, will get a new honda fuel filter fitted anyway but not sure...
