I had a similar problem. Turned out to be a poor electrical connection to the in-tank primary pump. Once this connection was re-made, everything was fine. you have to remove the rear seat squab to get at the connections at the pump, but its easy enough. Honda tried to renew the fuel filter...

Of course I break the speed limit and yes, I have done a few illegal things in my life. If I do something 'wrong' then I have to take the consequences - I am just pointing out that there are consequences if you remove your DPF and take the car on the road. I agree, its up to the individual to...

I am certainly not wishing to mislead anyone The OP has asked has anyone had a DPF removed and refitted - I have, and so have answered to the best of my ability. I am afraid you are wrong - it is illegal to remove the DPF, eg. you may fail your MOT and you may be prosecuted under the...

Is this untrue then? It is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet. Removal of a DPF will...

I have only owned it a year. in any event, it was a useless comment. No help at all to the subject at hand. How old are you?!

I recently had a new DPF fitted by Honda. The total cost was £1100. Of course, you can go down the removal road and the cost is around £500. I considered this, BUT....It is illegal and carries a £1000 penalty, the failing of your MOT and you will then have to fit a new DPF to get it on the...

I don't think so. I have played around with mine a bit, but those parameters seem to be not available. I see you can get a 'DPF health app' for VW cars. Cheers Terry

On my 8th gen accord, the piping from the bottle to the rear is on the drivers side. Your's may be different? Actually, on my car there is a connector in the break between the pipes under the door-step plate (mentioned earlier). If the pipe on your car was on the passenger side (I'm not...

I didn't remove the bottle, though accessed it by pulling off the inside wheel cover. The pump just pulls out from the bottom of the bottle leaving a hole. I just flushed with a hose from the bottom and the top of the bottle, plenty of water to remove everything. i couldn't work out why there...

Has anyone ever removed the 8th gen' i-dtec EGR for cleaning. I have had a look and contrary to other EGR's I've tackled (on Skoda/VW cars), this one looks tricky. I think it needs access from underneath to remove at least one bolt/stud under the EGR proper .It also looks like the pipe to the...

I had a similar issue with my 2009 8th gen' tourer. The fluid bottle had a build up of slimy, snot-like algae which sunk to the bottom of the bottle and then was sucked into the pump and pipes. I removed the pump and back flushed the bottle with a hose pipe to remove the algae. Then I removed...

Hi Brian, Thanks for the link to the fuel pump. My pump, of course is OK - its just the fuel sender I may need. My question regarding the voltage drop at the purple power wire was because I found a USA service item on checking the sender unit. The first part of the process was to check for...

I haven't mad too much progress on this issue - I've been side tracked with other things. However, this is now the only issue standing in the way of perfection! So, I intend to get to the bottom of things. I did remove the sender but only then to discover that the battery on my multi-meter...

I managed to get the cap off and changed the filter and replaced the damaged cap with a new one. I removed all the gubbins and exposed the cap. I tried to use a nylon strap filter wrench in the hope that it might grip without damage, but when the load came on (extended breaker bar), it...

Hi Julius, I have been to Vilnius - a city full of classy women!! Anyway: See my posting under 8th generation 'faults' - "beaten by the handbrake", it tells you how to remove the gear knob and leather gaiter and also the centre of the console area, also how to adjust your handbrake cable...
