Whirring is often what it sounds like, I heard 2.0 litre Mk7 with a whirring and it was the alternator not sure if it was the one way pulley or the actual bearings in the Alternator itself. They are simple to repair in the alternator, the pulley is just replacement.

I think they are a freewheeling pulley so can go bad and you should check the bearings in the alternator at the same time.

Hope you all have a happy safe and prosperous Xmas/New Year or whatever holiday you choose to have. I hope we all have a better 2021 and look forward to another year in my Accord and hope that you all enjoy a safe and happy year too!

Alternator pulley checked and verified good?

I bet that's a relief with the current temps

Its one of a few vegetable based greases, be warned that the red colour transfers to the brake fluid so the initial flush will appear red. That Bendix stuff looks very interesting, not just one application by the looks of it. There is a ceramic grease available here in a white colour by Mintex...

Its not blue rubber grease anyway.:D

You used to be able to buy coloured brake fluid from ATE, Super Blue, it made brake fluid changes very easy, just use blue this time and yellow the next. It was discontinued for road use some years ago after it was found that the DOT (US) regulations specified a straw colour liquid not blue...

There is a crowd in Cork called Freestorm that sell refurbed ABS units. http://freestorm.ie/honda

Should be changed every two years I think. Not a hard job just tedious but very beneficial.

I rebuilt the rear calipers on my 7th Gen Tourer when I had it, I stripped the caliper completely back to bare metal and heated it with a blowtorch (burning my finger where the bleed nipple hole is), but once dried like that its easy to get all the crud out of the grooves for the seal and...

I had the same, I used Tigerseal. Trim is still attached and holding on fine.

I have been running them for years, for a long time they were winter tyre specialists and still are to a large degree, however over the last few years Nokian started to sell more summer orientated Models. They work well here because they work in cool and damp conditions which as you know are...

Personally I like the stock Honda ones, they do a great job of catching dirt. I think the plain non oiled ones are cheaper but why would Honda go to all the trouble of speccing an oiled filter if it wasn't necessary?

Open the cap and shine a flashlight into the hole, the level will be visible with illumination.

I have Nokian Powerproof fitted replacing GY Eagle F1 Asy 5 and I must say the Nokian are everything I wanted them to be in cool damp and frosty conditions. Nokian are a favoured brand for me and I have had great service from many of their models over the years, The Finns know how to build a...

Petrols run on throttle opening, Diesels run on fuel being injected.

The blades should be available from Honda dealers themselves, Part number 76632-SHJ-A11 for the 550mm and 76622-SLN-A12 for the 600mm version.

I fitted an additional earth cable on my 7th Gen, Just an insulated cable with flat terminals crimped to each end and mounted to a bare metal point on the chassis and covered with some vaseline.

Check the earth cable to the body as well, poor earth will give strange results as well.
