Well I had the dealer in Salisbury drain the excess oil off and have chatted to my local dealer in Exeter who seem happy to provide appropriate compensation - probably a refund of the money charged by the other dealer and I'll also ask for a reduced charge on my next service to compensate for...

Basically manufacturers have to plan for the worst type of owner profile - uses the wrong oil, ignores service schedules and treats the car like it's white goods. When you remap a car you have to pay more attention to servicing and maintenance, because you have less margin for error, as that...

Sounds a doddle - I'd go for it - as said it's a really useful bit of kit.

You're right - I normally do, when it is me doing the servicing, but was lulled into the 'it's a Main Dealer - it'll be fine' attitude! It's been drained off now, so all I can do is wait and see. I feel like i'm keeping the diesel faults section going single-handed just now!

I'm not a gadget fan, but if you do a lot of night driving then it is really useful. You can still see behind you, but the glare is totally removed, leaving you with much better visibility overall. I've had it as standard, so don't know if it's worth the hassle of installing, though.

The clutch won't be covered - as you've said it's a wear and tear item, just like brake pads etc; the flywheel on the other hand might be - I don't know that.

Well it's back from Honda Salisbury with the oil at the correct level. The dealer that did the service seems willing to talk about it, so I'll see them when I get home this week-end. The engineer seems to think it'll be ok, but couldn't advise doing more than I already had in terms of clearing...

Thanks Fahad - I knew the two marks = 1 litre, so from that thought it looked more like an extra litre plus, so that's a bit better. Considering how many miles I've done though - some of them at EGR purging engine speed, I wonder what was there to start with - certainly the intake system was...

AFAIK it can be worse as it over pressurises the oil pump, but i've never experienced it before, so want to see what the likely outcome is. I'm pretty sure that's what led to all the oil in the air intake system. Wish I'd taken a photo of the MAP now - it was totally choked.

After thinking my hesitation had gone the car started to stagger a little bit today during one drive, which annoyed me, but as I was cleaning the EGR tonight anyway I thought I'd have a close look at it then... When I stripped everything down there was black crud everywhere - the MAP was...

I do indeed! . PM me your address and I'll send a strip out. The tops pop off easily - best to use two small screwdrivers together to avoid damaging them. On other news it started to stagger a little bit today (and only a little bit) during one drive, which annoyed me, but as I was doing the...

There was a large amount of play on mine too, and I could have taken in more slack if there was sufficient thread available, but there wasn't. I tightened it as much as I could while still keeping the end nut fully engaged with the thread. Made a noticeable difference and improved low end...

There's a Lings diagram in the main hesitation thread that shows them, along with the FSV and its filter. Its part # 5 in Post #4 in that thread Basically if you look at the FSV and filter at the front of the engine bay and then follow the vacuum lines on it backwards you will find two...

In the end I've had no joy in finding the EVR filters, so I've cut new elements from a Pollen Filter (better £18 for that than £360 for new EVRs) and fitted the EVRs all back together. Looking below you can see the state the old elements were in vs the new - it was even blacker without the...

Well I've checked with Honda and it looks like the numbers on the FSV are just the manufacturer's part number, different from the Honda one, so that seems all good. The EVR filters cannot be bought separately, you need to buy the EVR itself. Seeing as there's two of them at £153 plus VAT each...

Agreed - I'll be calling my local dealer tomorrow to check, although I used the E01 number to order it. We'll see. I've spent today checking through everything that's attached to the FSV - if the car only staggers when it's attached it must be something on that loop causing problems...

The Fault light will reset itself after a while when you re-connect the sensor and so long as you mention it to Honda when it goes back in for a service they can reset the stored code for you then. I must admit I didn't get a Honda to start spending all my spare time fiddling with it, just to...

The car is a facelift (06 plate) with 50K on the clock (35K when I got it). The hesitation occurs at all temps when applying the throttle; primarily when accelerating, but also sometimes when cruising at a constant speed. Might put it back to stock to see what happens, but I really like the...

I will be trying this when I get back to work next week (all my tools are there), but don't hold out much hope, as the car drives fine with the FSV disconnected. Still it should help with the pedal feel.

Yes - and in advance of all the others - car has just been serviced at my local dealer, where it had 0-30 oil and new Honda fuel and air filters fitted, which I had provided. I've also run some BG244 through it to clear out any residual crud and have used Shell VPD since I got it. (should have...
