Got you Sal I just reread the 1st post. The car revs up then drops back to its normal RPM. Good to see your back bro and still see you still have the HRV

Just a note if the clutch was slipping then wouldn't the rpm rise not fall. This was the case on my 7th gen

As said might be to valve clearance need adjusting but the sound normally changes as the engine gets warm. Also check your injectors by taking the cover off and using a screwdriver on each one to see if any noise is coming from them.

It was probably taken off by the previous owner. They would have to sign a waver as once the vehicle reminder system is taken off it can't be put back on. I had mine taken off and reverted back to a normal 12.5k service schedule

You should be getting around 40mph on a full tank. With fresh oil on the motorway I can Avg 43 if I drive with a light foot in my K24

I will be trying 5w40 next to see any difference as I change my oil and filter every 6k.

Hear are some also try HH http://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/2009-2015-accord-alloy-wheels-spacesavers-c-14_758_770.html Also can you put a photo up of your gear nob as Iv changed mine but think the type S is different

Great stuff Pete

TBO RL this is the first time Iv tried 0w20 as I'm for one for trying new things. So far Iv done 2K and can't tell any difference from my normal 5w30 mobile1 The MPG is slightly better by about 2mpg so nothing to shout about. The k24 engine will run on 0w20 to 5w40 and all depends on how the...

Rich have you put the car on a HSS for a full health check. This might bring up some fault codes that only the genuin equipment can give you

Honda are putting 0w20 in all there petrol cars now and recommended for all 7th gen and 8th cars. I'm trying this at the min but can't see any difference in performance. Iv always used 5w30 with no issues. 5w40 is also a great oil for the CL9

Hi Nigal I'm not 100% as I don't drive an Auto but this might be normal. If your in sports mode I'm presuming your using the quick change paddle switch on the steering wheel. So in effect it would be like driving a manual without the gear stick. I might be completely wrong so someone hear will...

Also Pete to check your thermostat is working run your car on tick over until the fan kicks in with the heater on high. Don't put the fans on as it will take forever to get to temp. If your thermostat is working when the fan kicks in your lower coolent hose will get hot as the thermostat is...

Hi Pete when was your pollen filter changed as this can result to your problem.

It might help with oil consumption as the engine will be breathing better. That's a lot of oil your using Rich. What grade of oil are you using as it might pay to go to 5w-40 if not already using.

Not good on the PCV pipe rich. With new hose and pvc valve the car will breathe much better. In the USA PCV valves are replaced every 35 k from memory as part of your service.

Upgraded bulbs in my opinion don't last as long as genuin Honda ones. Best mod you can do and been running mine for 3 years with no mot problems is a hid after market kit. These are the ones I'm running at the min...

Yes mate it's a H1 lamp as long as you don't have factory fitted HID,S

Just a little tip take a photo of the belt before you take it off. This way you won't get the belt going the wrong side of a pully. It's a 2 min job
