Huge shout out to the boys at Honda Spares Oldham (0161 312 4897). Bagged a lovely custom made dual exit system for our project Accord Type S 180. Really pleasant and accommodating guys to deal with. Look them up for any Honda spares, and mention Fahad from Premier Tuning referred you. Sam is...

Please do not remove or damage the cat or any sensors. I’ve messaged you back.

I wouldn’t bother with the expense and try and live with it as long as you can.. maybe try some additives to help quieten it down.

Hi folks, I’m trying to eliminate an issue on our project car (8th gen Accord Type S) where the cruise control doesn’t work in 6th gear. After quite a bit of fault finding and data logging (including a replacement clutch switch) I have a feeling it might be down to incorrect tyre sizes. The car...

Common problem, I deal with them regularly. Drop me a line.

No you will need it mapping, and it will throw an error so have a basic code reader to clear off any errors while you try and diagnose the issue. Just temporarily blank it at the block where the aluminium pipe connects, the idea is to stop any leaking gasses getting in there. If your starting...

Try blanking your egr valve.

Hi Dean, that’s your differential pressure sensor. It’s mounted on the front slam panel closer to the driver side. On a 2009 car like yours it will have 2 pipes going into it. Easy to change. I’ve rarely seen them fail, have a close look at the plug and wiring, maybe there’s a break somewhere.

I didn’t see the OP state he was seeing any faults logged for rail pressure, in fact I haven’t seen any specific faults noted at all, just anecdotal diagnostics. I think he’s following the correct path, but I also know from experience that you can’t rely on a basic glow plug test on these as...

Replace your glow plugs. Use genuine or original Bosch items.

Most likely failing glow plugs. Otherwise a sticking egr, try blanking it temporarily. MAF error is likely if you’ve used a non genuine part. Stick to OEM (even a used one)

I’m guessing it’s a 2.4 petrol variant

I still say it’s a broken wire, you haven’t checked thoroughly enough.

Far better an idea to blank it and map it out. Car will run much better, with improved economy and throttle response.

Yep almost certainly a cracked egr pipe. We solve these weekly with our solution, drop me a line if you want details.

No unfortunately they’re Euro5 diesel which is not compliant.

Not sure I understand. Yes the car has a valid mot. And we solved the over heating problem almost immediately, it was simply a split hose!

I’ll try and keep the story updated here

I’m collecting it tomorrow. The guy who bought it off eBay jerked him around. It wasn’t £400 but not too much more. It’s going to be a project for my 16 year old to learn on, and if we can fix it and flip it.. that becomes his pot for a first car next year. If we lose it all because it’s not...

I’ve seen this listing previously. It’s more likely a head gasket problem.
