    Possible silly question re spoilers

    I agree that a spoiler is only for styling. Would you really want rear downforce on a front drive car that is light at the back and heavy at the front? No lol. If you actually want downforce on any front drive car your best bet is a flat splitter, then you can fit a rear one for downforce and...

    No foreseeable end to problems 2.2 i cdti exec

    Sorry you're still having problems dude. Got a couple of ideas fella. As you know white smoke out the exhaust means unburnt fuel. So the top 3 contenders in no particular order are Faulty or damaged injectors Incorrect injection timing (could be a worn timing gear or damaged crankshaft...

    Need Help !

    I think I posted a link a little while ago about how to get the car to re-learn the position. I can't remember which thread I placed it in, not much help to you I know, I'll see if I can find the link again.

    Using power steering fluid

    No common problems as far as I'm aware. Be worthwhile putting it over a pit/on a ramp and see if you can spot where it's leaking. Make sure you check the visible hoses first though, the ones you can get to from the top of the bay. Also the seals around the pump :)

    Vibrating on idle with ECU Fault Codes P16A1, P1041, P16A4, P1384

    P16A1 - Internal ECU fault P1041 - O2 sensor P16A4 - I think it's something to do with the EGR valve P1384 - glow plug circuit malfunction. As you've recently had the mani replaced I suggest an ECU reset, and a clean of the EGR. Hopefully that'll sort it :) Did the car have new O2 sensors...

    I thought that if the light had come on the code would be stored on the ECU. When you get the manifold sorted at Honda get them to have a quick read of the ECU to see if there's a code stored. Might be worth chasing Honda up about the manifold. Hopefully it'll be a pain free change :)

    Need Help !

    I know it doesn't seem it, but it's good that the EML is on, now you've got a code to read :) Loose electrical connection is a really good idea. As you've now got the EML on though, your first port of call is to get the code read, hopefully will give you the answer to your problem.

    Need Help !

    I should point out that I have very little experience with a turbo Diesel engine. All I know about turbo charged engines has been learnt via working on the Scoob.

    Need Help !

    The fuel filter is a good shout too. If you can smell exhaust in the cabin then if have to say a cracked manifold. This is a known issue and most Honda dealers are very helpful when it comes to fixing it. If you can hear a vacuum noise could it be a split pipe? Have you checked all the pipes...

    Upgrading the Accord iCDTi ICE. Many Questions (& hopefully Answers too!)

    Well, what can I say? I got a demo of this insane install at the Ace Cafe meet, and, just, wow. The sound quality is beyond what should be possible in a car. Just amazing, any genre of music at any volume and it sounds incredible!..tried everything from the classics that were on the in car...

    Two small faults to rectify...

    Fuses or an earth somewhere? Do the headlight storks rise from the bumper and just no water comes out? Can you hear the pump trying to push water through? If so a blocked hose is likely.

    Need Help !

    Is the car diesel or petrol? (Sorry I can't see on the mobile version. If diesel manifold or glow plugs, if petrol plugs leads etc. Have a compression test done if none of the above. If the problem started after the rack change has anything been knocked loose when fitting?

    H.I.D conversion kits

    The ballasts will fit under the actual headlight housing, and the leveller sensors are at the back of the car.

    H.I.D conversion kits

    You're better off just upgrading the bulbs on the 6th gens. For the HiDs you'll need different headlights, headlight washers and auto levelling before you can fit the actual HiDs,(to remain legal anyways). Without the projector housings (as on the ATR) you'll just blind the people driving...
