clutch going in engine going in!

turbo and manifold removed all new and shiny timing cover off and the guts exposed!

thought ide take a few pics as its not often an engine is taken out of a honda. you can see the black soot arround the exhaust manifold.

i have pics if interested?..........

is this with the radio off? i havnt come accross this before i must admit. could possibly be the compressor clutch itself if it happens only when it kicks in. do you have to strain to hear it or is it quite noticeable? allways difficult without hearing it first hand lol

no problem

regards mobile diagnostics. i know of only one good bloke in my area who has spent many thousands on the majority of the most popular car companys computers inc a hds. they seem few and far between and i would be carefull not to be fobbed off as the differance will be little to non! unless ure...

you require an IQA adjustment. (injector quantity ammount) if the new injector is close to the spec of the old, you may not get a dtc fault and the running may not seem to be affected. you may find it could take a week or so fir the engine light to come on with a code similar to IQA incorrect...

honda are not the only ones to have trouble with there diesel engines. you ask any Awful German car specialist and he will run off a list longer then his arm on faults with there engines. common problems on *** diesels is injectors failing at close to a grand a piece!!!!!

ebay is where the owner of the civic we sorted sorced his new head.

how long that has been blowing i would doubt you will get that injector out without a special tool. you can try the coke trick or get the engine realy hot and spray plenty of penatrent spray arround it. sounds barbaric but using a pry bar or very large screw driver you can start to move the...

its more a personal thing realy and not somthing i would like to influance in any way buddy. its a difficult one thats for sure.

i would say that when they have removed the injectors previousy they have either scored the seat removing the washer or not cleaned the seat proppery. it may be the case that it just needs honeing with the new special tool and a thicker washe installed. give your dealer the chance to put this...

all you need to tell your dealer is you know there is a cutting tool with the new injector removal kit and you want them to follow the latest bulliten's instructions on how to use it. i caunt go giving out bulliten numbers i am affraid as they are supposed to be for dealer purposes only. if you...

the new tool has a seat cutter supplyed with it. but honda state they can only be cut a very small ammount and is measured by a dti guage measuring in .00 of a milimetre. they supply a new washer that is somthing daft like 0.05mm bigger than standard to compensate. if the injector seat is not...

the car will gereraly start its own idle learn procedure although it can be initialised using a hds tester. the same as what cj has menchoned, get the car to full running temp and let it idle on its own for approx 5 to 10 mins.

there not delecate as such. its just the fact that if seized they have to be destroyed to remove them. saying as yours are new and have been removed before i caunt see this being a problem.

you can re-use injectors with new seals. it is the injectors before countermeasure that are problematic as they tend to seize into the head. a new o-ring and desighn was used to reduce the chance of this, and that is why honda supply new injectors if the car is under warranty when replacing the...

had a similar story with a taxi accord not so long ago. some mate of his worked on his car and diagnosed both front wheel speed sensors were faulty. car came to us with the instruction to fit them, he orderd the parts. the n/s seemd ok, however the o/s sensor wiring was wrapped in insulation...

common mistake when fitting wheel bearings this. you need to be certain you ensure the encoder side is inserted the correct way and that you are carefull not to damage it. annother common problem is with the speed sensors seising into the hub. any swarf left in the cavity may damage the new...
