Just for completeness I still haven't really got to the bottom of it. I'm going to swap the hose again with an aftermarket one incase the repair place did something stupid (wrong inner diameter, material, lack of suppressors, etc) and also the pump as mine has been leaking from the main drive...

I think I might have got to the bottom of this. The OEM power steering hose has what looks like a very pointless join between two rubber sections of hose. This "join" is under or around the big rubber bung that you shove into the mount on top of the engine. I think this join is actually a...

Cheers for the replies, do not envy the matrix leak at all. I've been fairly good with coolant changes and using Honda coolant to try and avoid that exact problem! The power steering noise is coming and going. I did flush it twice with Honda fluid whilst messing around with this. I got used...

Sadly not a lot around here willing to work on cars or help fabricate things and whilst I don't mind doing some maintenance I can't be a mechanic as well as a fabricator. I'll set it sorted this time for sure with used parts (thanks for the pointer other cars use the same reservior) and maybe...

I've got an 18 year old Accord. Been an amazing car and would really hate to give it up. This year however has been challenging.... The last set of woes started with the power steering high pressure hose leaking badly. Its the part that Honda want like £600/700 for and there are plenty of...

Cheers for the link, got the PDF, hope the Accord is not too different ! Going to have a go tomorrow

Sorry to revive such a dead thread but this is the closest thing I can find to what I want to achieve... I recently brought a facelift 7th gen accord. It has satnav and a cd-changer, but the cd-changer looks like its part of the drive at the front and not external. I have an xcarlink on the way...
