    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Yeah that's what I'm asking. Is there any way to check the actual readout of the sensor either via HDS or by checking the resistance on the plug or something. Seems a bit odd to me because if I set the temp to say 18c instead of LO it can work fine for much longer periods of time. Do you know...

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Is that something that can be checked with HDS or do I have to chase the wiring with a multimeter?

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    I'm at the wits' end with this one so bear with me... Aircon been regassed and checked for leaks, all is perfect. Blows 5°C air when it works but after running for about 10-15 minutes compressor clutch disengages and won't engage again until the car has been shut off and sat for 10-15 mins...

    K24Z has a revised chain guide allowing the stretch to be measured from the top - check service manual. If it's the 2.2 diesel no idea, sorry.

    Headlights - Are they Xenon or Halogen

    AFAIK on the 8th gen Xenons were an option. Headlight washers and lack of adjustment would indicate that they're indeed fitted. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/honda-europe/accord/2009_6MT/3389/electric/B__0801

    [Guide] Saloon bootlid gas strut conversion

    Torsion springs need to be on. Otherwise the lever is way too short for a 200n spring - you could possibly substitute with a (much) stronger one or even two but that's anyone's guess. Balljonts were NitroLift ones from SGS, nuts and washers just generic parts store special...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    P2R's reply to my email... A bit funny how it doesn't work on the K24Z3 but works on the Z7 even though cylinder head is the same Honda P/N and the coolant passage on the RSP and RBC is the same?

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    @btjtaylor Update on the situation, noticed the coolant level ever so slightly dropping over time so I pulled the manifold to see if it's going anywhere it shouldn't be going... And it's going inside cylinder #4. I'm gonna have to send a very angry email to P2R because their website claims...
