Thanks Tanna. To be honest, the alternator that I changed it with is already a genuine Honda oem one (cost me a fortune as the time) my thinking was it would put the issue to bed forever. Everything was updated at the same time. It still failed anyways. lol Although it did have a long run, I...

Cheers John, Already have the short belt and new alternator back in 2014 and its gone again. Albeit I have done 100k miles. Most likely the pulley but could be internal bearings again. Likely easier to get a new recon alternator than gambling on changing the pulley, as I would need to get the...

Great news, I have the tap and it makes the whole transfer process brilliantly easy and clean. Highly recommended.

Hi Guys, Just a quick one, anyone had good experiences with any alternator refurbish sellers? Was eyeing a couple on ebay...

Wow, you been running the long belt version and extra pulley all this time and its still fine?

Managed to remove the belt using the crow bar method. The tensioner is really tough to move. haha. Just about got it back on. haha. It seems that the idler tensioner pulley has abit of play in it and has a quite worn bearing but really the cause of the clicking. The power steering pulley feels...

Got my letter last week for the Accord. Rang up the dealer and they can't seem to fit me in unless it is on the weekday as they are super busy. Pretty disappointing as they should be taking these recalls pretty seriously. Havent got any holidays left so may have to book it in in the new year.

Ahh I thought so. I will try get the belt off check and go from there. Cheers

Yeah I thought so too, unless it is something else. The clicky type sound is pretty much the same when the alternator was going way back in 2014. It disappears during the week and seems all ok but when the car is not sued over the weekend, Monday morning you can hear it slightly and then it...

HI Guys, It seems I am getting the bearing clicking noise again, however everything has been revised. Brand new Genuine Honda alternator fitted Dec 2014 New short Genuine Honda belt and revised routing Dec 2014. New alternator has done approx 100k miles since fitted in 2014. Or could it be...

Hmmm, It may be that the bulb has slightly melted and cause the socket to fuse into the fitting. or might need alittle more force?

Never used honda-partsuk before. These guys are ok although little pricey, https://www.lingshondaparts.com/ Dealt with these guys and are very good. Worth an enquiry. https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/

***uming you have a 7th gen accord? 2003-2008?? Just did mine last week. You need a w21w 582 bulb. x1 (clear) Get high quality bulbs like Osram as the cheap ones dont last very long Got mine from here...

Sorry to hear. That is definitely premature for the chain to snap at that mileage. It could be the oil wasn't changed as regularly from previous owners. What car you looking to get next?

Your welcome. Glad it has given you some ideas

Tony at Lubetech has a new website now and there is still a discount but only 5% I believe instead of 10% (still a saving though) See this link from Tony himself http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/25289-new-website/?hl=lubetech Will still use his oil, superb stuff - have been using it since...

Ive done the gas damper boot conversion on my 7th gen accord. They are quite similar. Check my youtube video. I wrote a DIY for it aswell, link is in the comments section Hope it gives you an idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKU31BtLohU

Your welcome. Glad it seemed to have sorted it self out. The Bluetooth units can also cause a battery drain issue too as it doesn't switch itself off. That's if you dont use your car often. Something to keep in mind.

Update: Model/Spec: Honda Accord 2.2 ictdi (4 door saloon) Year: 2006 Mileage: Just ticked over 210k miles. How long owned: 6 years Problems you've had: So far since 2017 (previous update) -Power steering cooler pipe perished (replaced with genuine) -High Pressure power steering top hose...

Just an update on the thread. I decided to go genuine in the end. I know - Crazy me. Purely for the fact that I do 30k miles a year and having a genuine hose in there gave peace of mind that the original lasted 13 years and 210k miles. The swap over was pretty simple, my mechanic guy managed...
