Hello lads, I'm writing on behalf of a colleague of mine. For a while, he's been complaining that the engine feels very sluggish at times and almost stalls in traffic. Reading the codes they're always P2008 and P2004, which would indicate IMRC solenoid valve circuit open and IMRC valve stuck...

Hi, I have a mysterious knocking noise over small bumps that's driving me up a wall. I've noticed that the front left side damper washer sits quite close to the edge of the strut tower hole and I'm suspecting that it may be the source of my noise. So I'm thinking about removing this bolt in the...

Hello everyone, a question for those who have replaced glow plugs. If you look up the part number you will see that there are two models: 12291-RBD-E01 and 12291-RL0-G01, the latter replacing the former starting from the 8th generation. Has anyone noticed a significant difference between the two...

Good day lads, I've got an eccentric goal with my Accord. Because I despise my janky auto wipers, I want to swap them out for the int variant instead. I have managed to found one and fitted it, however the wipers still act like the auto ones?! Is there something I need to change in the computer...

Hello everyone, I've been thinking about swapping out the Navi unit in my 2004 diesel for the regular head unit (still premium sound, auto climate and 6cd changer). I'm doing this because A) the Navi functionality is useless, B) the delay before being able to change A/C settings and C) just...

While browsing the parts catalog, I stumbled across something that I haven't seen get mentioned here. Namely, a strainer for the oil pump, located on the side of the gearbox, towards the bottom (21180-PR8-016). Since I'm planning on changing the MTF anyway, I figured I'll take it out, give it a...

Something I've noticed is no one seems to replace this thing. Does it just not cause problems? If I stick a stethoscope on the vacuum line fitting attached to it, there's a wicked screeching; not sure if I should be worried about it. Curiously there's no aftermarket availability and of course...

When people ask me what coolant they should use for their Accords, I recommend them the original Type 2 or Ravenol HTC, as it has the same Honda approval and seems to work fine. However I noticed that the HTC coolant also has G11 approval. Researching further, it seems that G12++ or G13 coolant...

Hi, just wanted to share this idea and possibly the solution to the cruise control problem I've been having. Basically the Crusoe control never works until normal circumstances, unless I put my foot under the clutch pedal and pull it up, at which point cruise control can be engaged and it will...

So I've found out that if I pump my brakes while standing still for about 20 seconds, the check engine light will always come on. The code is P2004 and is something about an intake manifold runner flap being stuck open. Seems really odd to me. Nothing about the behaviour of the engine changes...

I'm the proud owner of a 2004 EX-L Accord and this happened a hour ago. So I parked on my usual spot and switched off the car. Came back a hour later, turned on the ignition, all the lights lit up and turned off as usual, started it up and half a second or so later all three lights came on at...

As you can see from the video, the door doesn't open with one press. You have to press the hinge side, then the "normal" side, then the hinge side for it to open. Doesn't feel springy in the least. Any solutions? Link...

My seat belt light on the dash seems to be burnt out. I think they use T5 bulbs, but the base can be very different it seems, even though the light might be called "T5". Has anyone replaced these red warning bulbs and does it matter if it's not an original part number? Does the bulb need to be...

Both the driver and passenger seat has an odd issue. When set to HI, the seats seem to randomly go from not working to some heat to lots of heat, seemingly whenever it wants, but never stays on for long and take a while to even have anything happen. Sometimes 5+ minutes to get ANY heat, let...

I've done some reseach on this topic and it would seem that in theory a dry fill should be 2,5 liters and a service fill should be 2,2 liters. But members on this forum seem to have gotten away with using only 2 liters. I'm asking this to get a more definitive answer and to see if I can get away...

***le basically. When I push on the light it only clunks, with no resistance and the light doesn't turn on

Not sure if this is petrol specific or not, but my service manual says that under heavy load my idle speed should be 720+/-50 rpm. My idle speed is basically always between 800 and 850, rock solid and not bouncing. Could this be a vacuum leak of some sort?

I have the petrol version of the owner's manual for my car, so I'm not sure if this is different on the diesel, but according to my owner's manual the MIN and MAX reading on the reserve tank sound be on the back side, but on my reserve tank it's on the passenger side and basically impossible to...

Seeing as how picky the diesel variant of the 7th gen can be about its fuel filter, it got me thinking about what kind of a difference the air filter brand and pleat count can make, seeing as how air is even more important for diesels than a petrol. The OE part number for the air filter is...

I use Autodoc to browse for parts for my car and this part caught my eye and wondered if it should be changed when the power steering fluid is changed. The owner's manual does not even acknowledge this filter's existence.
