    Will F20B6 spark plugs NGK ZFR6F-11 fit K20A6?

    Hi All, I have a set of 4 barely used leftover NGK ZFR6F-11 spark plugs for my previous Accord with F20B6. Are they safe for use in K20A6 too by chance? It's NGK ZFR6K-11 designed for K20A6, so the only difference is in the letter after "6", which refers to "Firing end construction" as can be...

    Cheap ways to feed music into standard stereo model 2J20 via AUX

    Hi All, I have this standard stereo model 2J20 (would be great to know its make) in my Accord 7. Looks like there are several popular solutions to feed music via its AUX. While weighing them all I've found the following one for Accord 8: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263185448679 I suppose there...

    HDS scanner for £15

    Ah that one I saw mentioned here: http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/15376-get-your-own-hds-tool/ I may never need its full functionality though: was thinking of a tool just for the things like clearing that Service Required LED (the one alerting to the time of oil change etc. ***uming it's...

    HDS scanner for £15

    The seller isn't responding on my inquiries, which in my practice usually means the answer is a No. May I ask which particular one you have?

    HDS scanner for £15

    Trying to get the seller to confirm that it can do the Honda specific stuff and not just read the codes. Will buy it if he does and report the outcome. I doubt returning it is an option though as shipping back to China (which is not refunded) would be commensurate with its price.

    Ultimate clarification on DMF and clutch issues

    Hi All, What I gather from this forum on DMF and clutch issues in diesel ones so far is that there's: 1) slipping clutch issue because of the "weak springing on the LUK/Honda pressure plate", supposedly fixed by clutch revision 325 (a full part number would be great) 2) DMF issue resulting in...

    HDS scanner for £15

    Hi All, It claims to have HDS and even CAN BUS in its ***le... does it look like one of those capable of anything more than OBD2 code reading and so worth trying at so low price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263374673649 From this old thread I'm not keeping too much hope...

    Any major N22A1 engine issues?

    Matt: F6HAD: Thank you... btw did all facelifted 7th ones also come with N22A1 engine (same as pre-facelifted 7th ones)? I'm unable to find the answer anywhere.

    Any major N22A1 engine issues?

    May I ask a little clarification on this one: do I get it right that 2003-2005 ones all came with N22A1 and so have no DPF while the 2006-2008 ones all came with N22A2 and so they do have DPF? I've seen some posts implying post-2005 i-CTDi's come with DPF if I interpret it correctly... namely...

    Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 and 10W-40 no good at all for K20A6?

    Hi All, Apologies for yet another oil related question but at least it's a fairly specific inquiry ) Following recent theft of my old Honda Accord 6 (F20B6) I'm now left with several Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 and 10W-40 cans. Are they any good for my new Honda Accord 7 (K20A6), which needs Honda's...

    Any major N22A1 engine issues?

    Ended up buying a nice and low mileage petrol one (CL7/K20A6/MT) as I needed a car asap and the only diesel one fitting my criteria had 4 owners already, which didn't quite tally with the stated mileage in my opinion. May still switch to a diesel one later on though, once I get more familiar...

    Any major N22A1 engine issues?

    F6HAD: Thank you... so it's short distance trip friendly then? At what sort of mileage are the first major engine works to be expected, such as turbine replacement, chain replacement etc.? I'm looking for something up to ~125k miles. Matt: I have nothing to warm up there anyway )) Just hope...

    Any major N22A1 engine issues?

    Hi All, Apologies for asking something that's most likely written and re-written about throughout this forum: just got my 6th Gen Accord stolen and am looking at the 7th Gen Accord as a potential replacement, which I need asap, hence all the rush. Are there any known major issues with the N22A1...

    Disconnecting SRS cable from clock spring (cable reel)

    Just checked continuity on each of those 2 circuits w/o taking the clock spring apart and found no problems at all. Further research suggests the SRS light is still on 'cos I previously turned ignition on while the driver's airbag was disconnected, so ***uming it's just a historic warning left...

    Disconnecting SRS cable from clock spring (cable reel)

    Hi All, Can the following SRS cable connector be disconnected from the rear of the clock spring (cable reel) body at all? https://ibb.co/n4BkXx If so how the hell do I do it? Couldn't figure out a way of pulling it out in an easy way and must have damaged electrical connection after applying...

    Silent block replacement in the lower control arm

    I purchased a similar Campingaz one several years ago after watching them easily undoing all those 15-year old rusted bolts and nuts on my car with a similar tool at a garage, none of which I had any luck undoing by brute force: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370562521562 It's been extremely helpful...

    Silent block replacement in the lower control arm

    Thank you: fair enough. I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a MOOG one (decent quality reportedly) at this kind of pricing: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142115321005 Sadly they don't stock the other one but I hope I don't have to have the same brand at both sides and will then get something...

    Silent block replacement in the lower control arm

    We're not looking for easy ways :D The reason for asking is that (1) the kit in question is at least twice cheaper than the labour and I need it to do the ball joints anyway and (2) having an office job I usually go for that sort of activities as a gym substitute. Buying arm ***emblies complete...

    Silent block replacement in the lower control arm

    Hi All, Has anyone tried removing old silent blocks from the lower control arm and fitting new ones using this type of tool kit marketed for ball joint replacement: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/f~IAAOSwndZaaExb/s-l1600.jpg If so how much effort/time did it take you and are there any critical...
