    2.2 i-DTEC engine intake sound

    Just how noticeable is the sound inside the cabin ? If you have gone to the trouble of changing the flywheel then I would go and have a look at the exhaust and perhaps a failure of the one of the baffles.

    Time to let the Accord go

    Holy Batman! On a first inspection it looks terminal and odd as I have nothing like that here. It does look like the original treatment by the factory has been removed, why is only known to the previous owners. Is the offside subframe anywhere near as bad ?

    Time to let the Accord go

    Really ? The Tourer here has no problematic corrosion and rust (apart from surface stuff on the bonnet) is negligible Has the K24 spent time near the coast ?

    APP sensor fault

    I've not had another incident, though I have a slipping clutch and my driving adjustments mean I rarely have to 'floor it'.

    Ticking noise under acceleration

    You could try strapping a mobile phone with a voice recorder app under the bonnet and move it around to locate the noise.

    Headlight lense cleaning? - 2 bucket method?

    For MOT passing on the Tourer (I-ctdi) I use a bit of Solvol autosol. Rub as hard as possible keeping the same bit of towel. Then buff off with one half of the other side, folding over until the debris and damaged plastic is clear of the panel.

    Washer pump (front)

    I was able to get to the pipes through the front wheel arch skirt, the pumps are underneath the reservoir and just about accessible.

    Washer pump (front)

    Having found one of those sleeping policemen in London last week, I have a non effective front windscreen pump. I have got the temprorary fix by bending the arch protector out of the way, swopping the pipes that deal with the front/rear for now but know it will fail an MOT if the inspection...

    Car Alarm will not stop going off

    As it is a Tourer, does it have the standard roof rack, an after market one, or none (like mine ) ?

    APP sensor fault

    On another thread I replaced the TPS when it was clear the tracks inside were causing all sorts of trouble after spraying with good electrical solution multiple times The replacement looks identical but has twice caused a loss of power (limp mode) though it was only under 'pedal to the floor'...

    Tourer Boot Locking

    Yes and no. The boot opens, though now I am committed to helping somebody collect some heavy items later in the week.

    And...... Disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes has fixed it, for now.

    Tourer Boot Locking

    Thanks I had a similar fix a couple of years back (when I clipped one size of the boot door on a car park bollard). The nearside rear window also fixed itself after disconnecting the battery for ten minutes, but not this time.

    What Engine Oil?

    No idea about shampoos at all. I use the rated oil and try to replace the filter at every change. On this forum there have been many posts relating to a noise from the oil pump chain that usually signifies a lack of maintenance at some point and a quick death afterwards. If it's not rattling...

    Tourer Boot Locking

    Symptoms, boot does not unlock with the outer handle or the keyfob (only the manual catch inside, which is a real pain to get to when loaded up). On closing the boot catch does not do the 'pull in' and I have to push the door in manually before I can lock/deadlock with the remote. Basically...

    What Engine Oil?

    Depending on the annual mileage and type of journeys (commute or motorway) you might consider changing the oil and filter more frequently. Additionally a flush of the sump area might also be useful to clear out old contaminants.

    Tourer Boot Locking

    I'm hoping it is not a failure of the wiring loom but before I start looking around the hinge point, is there a particula fuse in the system that deals with the motor and boot catch mechanism ? I've looked through the glove compartment booklet but cannot find anything. If there isn't one which...

    N22A1 weird sound

    If the belt is beginning to play up it could be anything that runs off it or near it, including the idlers. I would get that sorted first, then listen for other noises. I replaced my alternator a few months back and the engine compartment got a lot quieter as a result.
