    MPG Trouble

    We used to have a older gent come in to our garage with his ancient Volvo 740 2.0l GLE Estate. Every few months he'd have power delivery and fuel efficiency issues and at every MOT it would fail it's emissions test. All we had to do to fix it was trash the backside off of it! That cleared it all...

    keeper madness or not

    I'd agree with fixing it. It would be solid then for years to come.

    What parts will be replaced if the welding goes ahead. It must have serious rust!

    Yea that was my thought as well. Might upset the look. The preface lift if more angular.

    Body Kits

    I've seen a few mk6 pre facelift with front a rear skirts. Do these fit the facelift bumpers? Because I've seen a silver accord ay local scrappy with the skirts on. I just wondered if it would be worth removing? Joe

    The passenger front door handle has stopped opening the door. It still opens from the inside though. Any ideas? Thanks Joe

    EGR Plate Clean (F18B2)

    Damn! That's expensive. Even Vpower is only 111.9p here in Suffolk. Sainsburys super unleaded is 97. 104.9p a litre here.

    EGR Plate Clean (F18B2)

    I don't use it because of the octane rating. I get better mpg with it. I've not used BP ultimate yet. I think I'll give it a go.

    EGR Plate Clean (F18B2)

    Since I've owned my Mk6 I've only ever run it on vpower. Mine stalled twice as well. I think you're right with the car having to learn again along with maybe some carbon breaking up in the manifold and being sucked in.

    EGR Plate Clean (F18B2)

    I've read a few posts and bits on the internet about the EGR plate on the 6th Gen Accord's but because my Accord is low mileage I didn't think that it would need cleaning out. So as I had nothing to do last weekend I thought what the hell I'll take it apart and see what's what. Oh god! I was so...

    MPG Trouble

    Same old story with dealers mate. Clean the sensors and maybe try the egr plate clean process. I did and it made a world of difference. Change all the filters, use a high quality correct oil and put some decent spark plugs in. Check the ignition leads, dizzy cap and the rotor arm also.

    Give it a good service. That always does some good regardless.
