    Front Sway Bar Bushings

    Changed them yesterday. Have access to a lifter so changing them without lowering the sub frame went fine. Little tight space at the bolt in the back but could get them in and out without any problems.

    2009 Accord Exec Handbrake adjustment

    You sure about that? under the rubbermat, towards the AUX/USB connectors there is a "hatch" that can be opened on my 09 EX, but its a little hard to open, so you need to use some force with a screwdriver.

    Turbo Boost P00AF

    Ok thanks for your reply!. however, i can move the arm from the actuator and it move freely. After i cleared the fault code it have not come back and the car runs like it should. Have taken the car out on the highway and took it for a really good drive today and still no fault code back.

    Turbo Boost P00AF

    Cleaning the turbo is straight forward once it's out? Any parts/sealings needed?

    Turbo Boost P00AF

    I also got this fault code this morning. Slow acceleration cold engine and the engine lamp came on. Stopped/started the car and it was running ok after that. Cleared the fault code, took it for a ride and it was running normal. Is cleaning/replacing the only option here?

    Little late reply but; The problem was actually a lose glow plug on cylinder 4. Its tight space around the glow plug on the fourth cylinder so the socket that i used to tighten the glow plug actually got a little stuck if i put it all the way down over the glow plug, so when the plug felt...

    DPF replacement, how much work?

    New filter in place, and i reset the ash counter. On the differential pressure sensor it said only reset if sensor has been replaced (it said nothing about dpf) and i think it said after replacing the sensor it needed a regen, so i did not reset it. This is with original Honda equipment..
