    DIY - Brake discs and pads change 03+ (updated)

    Yeah it moves out and does not rotate. So do I need a proper tool that also presses and rotates at the same time I thought it just needed to be rotated. Also for those that know how far in it should be I take it when the video stops and the last image shows how far out the piston is that I...

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    I'm in Northern Ireland so the offer is not suitable. I am about to buy a 2005 CR-V cdti manifold and it only has 2 mounting points for the heat shield and is a cast unit. Is this different to the revised one that gets put on? Or could this car have had it replaced once upon a time?

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    I'm still waiting to hear back from Honda. They wanted a copy of my service history. F6HAD you're correct this should have been a recall. If no engines left the factory and this was a revised part that means the originals were a flawed design. I work in warranty and we dealt with a recall on a...

    anyone had exhaust manifold replaced after 125k limit.

    Did you get any further with this? I'm in the process of an official complaint. Mine is an 07 with 162k but was taken to Honda for 90% of its servicing. My argument is that it should have been picked up before now as I'm the new owner and it's possible the previous owner didn't know what was...

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Hi Jon, Thanks. The manifold has a 3 bolt heat shield. Was there 2 different '3 bolt' manifolds. I will check under the engine cover ASAP. The Honda dealer who did all the servicing is no longer a Honda dealer (now KIA) and all they did was stamp the service book. Ive no indication as to what...

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    HI folks, new owner here. 07 Ex with 162k, getting the exhaust fumes when stationary. I don't have any noticible sound like a blow out so i'm thinking it might be a leaking injector seal or EGR valve? My question would be - do ALL manifolds crack or would it be possible to have one last?
