    New Tourer with DPF issues within 7 days

    Once you get the DPF light on its a case of remove it or replace it I'm afraid. I've read loads of people cleaning them out only to then pay again to get them removed. I never regretted removing mine.

    I found when changing to goodyear efficient grip tyres the car soaked up the rough bumps and me the ride really smooth. This was on 17" but I think they'd have the same effect on your 18"

    Aftermarket Stereo - Steering wheel control question

    The adapter matches the brand of stereo I think. Connect do them. Try googling. There's a shop that's selling them as I found them for my 2013 crv

    All suspension are the same. It's just the ES that has a softer set up.

    Differences between Tourer and Sedan

    I've a 2L petrol auto crv now but the accord was 190 bhp and was quick when I needed it to be. It also gave me over 50 mpg. If you search the forum a got over 60mpg on a few occasions. I never noticed any black smoke from 2nd gear WOT. I think I only ever looked twice to see if there was smoke...

    The engine burns clean so you don't seem to get smoke. I never noticed any out mine any way.

    Differences between Tourer and Sedan

    I totally agree with Grandad about the paint. Japan paint is far better finish. No orange peel at all. Even a brand new mazda isnt as good as the accord on paint quality.

    8th Gen Tourer Buying Advice

    2.2 Idtec manuals appear to have dodgy self adjusting mechanism. Expect to change the clutch at some point. As long as you do decent milage you'll save enough to easily cover the cost. The DPF will need removing at some point too. There's no point with forced regen and special cleaning as...

    Memory seats with keys

    The 2013 crv does this. The keys are numbered. It should be easy to test on the accord though. Just set one seat fully forward then use the key and see what happens. One of the things the 8th gen has over the crv is that if you hold the preset seat position while driving it will adjust back if...

    Maps and mpg question when moving from MK7

    Lol. You need to drive a 2.0 petrol auto and get decent mpg. Now that's a chore. To be honest I didn't really need to look at the speedo that much once I got used to it. I just got the car up to speed then took my foot off the gas and then re applied it slowly until the torque of the car...

    Maps and mpg question when moving from MK7

    Lol. It had the DPF removed and running 0w30 helped along with goodyear eff grip performance tyres. I only got 44 with my work journey so it's all about the journey I'm afraid and using the real time mpg to set your throttle position. There's plenty of other people getting these results but...
