For a not too bad pricewise job for your mechanics (if not able to do yourself ), I'd do the following :- 1.Clutch fluid flush/change can ease gear changes, especially if the existing is old and full of gunk. 2. Replace gearbox oil with genuine Honda MTF only. Mines (2004 tourer) got 189k on...

Right guys, I've concluded it's one of the mounts it's obviously movement of the gearbox itself that is putting stress on the selector cable and pulling it out of cog usually motorway speeds accelerating. Would anyone hazzard a guess , or even better knows, which of the mounts would most...

Thanks for all your replies The DMF and clutch were new 43 k ago, I keep gearchanges to around 2k rpm so it does not get booted as such. I use AUTODOC already, all the parts listed are for petrol variants cheap enough but of no use on this engine, as totally different , (guess its the price...

Hey Saj Effect occurs between 1800 ~2000 rpm 20ish mph lower gears, 2200~ 3000 rpm 3rd 4th giving it some like on mway slip rd ,goes on deceleration of easing off of gas,some times on turning right according to my flight engineer, classic driveshaft symptoms. Mainly front end passenger side...

Have now tried 2 used honda, and one new Blueprint driveshafts to combat this shaking on acceleration.Tyres wheels balance all ok, rotated front back no change.Has to be an engine mount now as it's pulling it out of 5th gear when shaking.Have replaced upper gearbox mount no change, lower bracket...

Turned out to be a leaking injector union, nipped up by the garage as it was an mot fail just recently !!!

Thanks for the link , will investigate further and post results if any, when complete. TJ

Hello all My 04 diesel tourer now on 187k has developed what I think is a coolant leak from the egr cooler.As I have got rid of windows 7 ( now using Linux ) I dont have access to the workshop manual I had, and was wondering if there is a pipe or o ring round the back of the ***embly next to...

Just to update this fault, I changed the fusebox for a used unit, also the inrc solenoid, but the intermittent battery fault remained. After a boatload of further checks ,it appears the alternator clutch pulley is faulty on the new one I bought, so remember just because something is new, does...

Guys, half price oil at Euro car parts for the next 13 hrs. https://www.eurocarparts.com/ T.J.

Had permanent battery charge light on, and read code P2004 IMRC solenoid last week, Alt test :- Battery voltage at rest 12.6 Meter tested alternator, output only 11.7 on tick over, 9.8 when given electrical load ,lights, air con, heated rear window etc. Conclusion :- goosed alternator...

Got a similar problem on my 04 diesel tourer Brand new alternator starts fine, charges battery , battery dash light goes out intermittant on off thereafter dependent on eletrical load, ie heater or lights etc when load taken away module adjusts again light returns, then off again. Fault :-...

My diesel tourer 04 mk7 has 179k mls on and blue smokes only on first start,uses about 250ml oil every 1500 mls, I suspect valvestem seals. I have however started using this :- Wynns Exhaust STOP SMOKE Engine Oil Treatment Additive, along with 0w30 oil, and the rate of oil consumption has...

Posted 29 July 2018 - 10:48 PM I would try doing this first :- http://typeaccord.co...ke-2-cars-done/ the amount of crud in the intake manifold is a sight to see. The crankcase vent extraction rate is linked to the speed of the turbo, if it is not getting passed back to the intake...

I have fitted these both sides today to my mk7 diesel tourer. The front wheel vibration I had mistaken for drive shaft wobble (having tried two new an one used replacements for) has now gone, I have also been experiencing inner front tyre feathering despite tracking being done numerous...
