Sorry you had a bad time with diesels, I've had them now for many years and, touch wood, I've never been let down by one, that is, after I had done the inevitable work that one has to do to someone else's car because I do like my car to do what it's supposed to do. My wife has a petrol Civic...

There were the same issues with VAG cars and whilst I had them, I both stripped and cleaned turbo vanes and also filled the exhaust side with Mr Muscle oven cleaner which was the quick fix and usually worked. With this car I will replace the turbo and exhaust manifold together as Fahad ***ures...

To save anyone else posting possible solutions, I think the problem has been isolated. I paid a visit to Fahad yesterday and his opinion is sticking turbo vanes. The equipment he used and the time and effort he put into isolating the problem was heartwarming, he could not have done more and I...

Yes, undoubtedly it needs someone familiar with these to point the finger, thanks for your interest MrMwa, I'll post (hopefully) the solution.

Sadly my problem doesn't appear to be the actuator which is moving freely. It's quite infuriating because it was working so well and is quite normal upto 2.5k revs. Are there any vacuum pipes that could be dislodged or split ? What confounds it, is that nothing is showing on diagnostics other...

Excuse my ignorance Channel Hopper, but is my engine a mk 8 ? My car is 57 plate .

Thanks for that, I'll get the actuator checked and report back.:)

Thanks for the replies chaps. No, it wasn't happening before the clutch change, nor for 2 days after, it was only yesterday that it happened. It doesn't actually go into limp mode but similar. Fullish power is there untill 2.5k revs, then, even though the revs increase slowly the power is very...

Did fuel filter this morning, genuine HONDA £54 !!! and on first acceleration, BRILLIANT, back to full power, but then loss of power. It now keeps revving over 2.5k, but the power has gone after that, it will rev to over 4k but it's very flat and like I said, nothing showing on the diagnostics...

Just seen a thread advising fuel filter, I will do that tomorrow !!!

Out in my cdti today and a strange unwillingness to go over 2500 revs developed. Pulls as normal in all the gears but goes flat at 2500 revs. Went to my friends garage but nothing showed on the diagnostics other than my vsa fault. I had a new clutch at weekend, could any wiring have come loose...

Remarkably simple, many Thanks, Rod.

Something I never heard of before, many thanks.

Thanks for the reply, interesting reading. Yes, the clutch dmf is a monster job and the car is on 215k but running so well therefore I considered the cost of parts(£407) and a couple of hundred quid for my mate well worth the outlay. I will probably take your advice about the parrot though...

Not in a position to disagree, but that seems contrary to all I've ever heard. Is this sequence just Honda ?

Seemingly, the bluetooth module has died on my cdti tourer. Maybe when I was mig welding? Anyway it was working normally before, so, is it worth buying second hand? The part numbers on the used ones all seen to have the letters TLO in the middle whereas mine is SEA, I take it they are not...

Can anyone help with bluetooth module location on my accord tourer please, thanks, Rod.

Thanks bounder, do you have any idea why my phone buttons are dead?

After a lay off for bodywork repairs the battery went flat. After restarting my voice command steering wheel buttons are dead, it was all previously connected and working. I also have an intermittent "PTG" warning light along with the VSA light at 6 oclock position on my speedo dial, don't know...

My recent acquisition 2.2 i-cdti tourer is displaying brake pressure sensor fault when scanned. It had this problem when purchased so no surprise. I will buy another unit, what I need really is any advice regarding purchase, i.e second hand, refurb or whatever, any help would be much...
