Hi The battery light on the dash has just come on. Have checked the battery voltage and it is OK Have also checked the charging and that is OK Car starts OK Anyone got any idea as to what the problem could be? Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone who had done the oil chain job, give me a definitive idea as to just how far I have to go with the sub- frame. Do I just undo the one sub-frame bolt near the front right or both front or all of them. Do I have to completely drop the sub-frame or what. Thanks for any help.

Hi antdad Yes, it is the one I have on disc. Thanks anyway. Have you replaced the oil chain? If so, can you tell me, do I have to drop both nearside and offside bolts on the front that secure the sub-frame or just the off side?

Hi antdad Sorry to sound a bit thick but what do you mean: "See the workshop manual in my signature""

Hi is there a better manual to describe the removal of the Oil Pan on a CN1 Accord other than the Honda Accord service manual on disc that I bought from someone of hear a couple o years ago. It's been very useful for a number of jobs but seems a bit sparse when describing the removal of the oil...

Thanks for that guys. Success!! - I came out this morning and the fluid had all settled down and I was able to fill up without any problems. Must have been a stubborn air lock as I replace the fluid each year and it always comes out clean so no possibility of gung to block the pipes etc...

Hi I have just renewed the radiator fluid and now find there is some sort of airlock so consequently not filled properly. I haven't put in anywhere near the amount required. I have had the heating on high and run the engine but still the water in the reservoir hasen't dropped in level and of...

Hi mlkehunt Thanks for reply. I'll give it a go and keep fingers crossed

Hi I have just replaced the manifold so had to take the turbo off to get at it. Given that when I undid the oil lines to the turbo only a very small amount of oil escaped, is it really necessary to prime it with more oil?? Surely the turbo will not spin to fast at low revs and the oil system...

Mmmm Three days of hard labour under the carport in freezing cold!!!! but worth it in the end. The problem was an exhaust tappet believe it or not. I also took the opprtunity of re-positioning the timing chain which was two cogs advanced on the inlet side. I noticed this when I originally...

Hi Guys just as a matter of interest. Since the oil pump is nothing to do with the timing as such, why does does it have to be alligned with the timing chain sprocket? As you know, the pump chain has a specific link that should be in a certain position and the manual shows the pump sprocket...

Thanks for that mlkehunt I'll be doing the job starting mid week as I said to channel hopper so will let you know how I get on. Regards

Yeh Sorry to misslead I meant I had the rocker cover off. Your last sentence, - we won't go there shall we!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mlkehunt "" the oil pump gear was off its mark when crank and cams were aligned correctly but as it turns out I was being retarded because the smaller gear only turns 1/4 or 1/6 of the crank "" So if you were being retarded, what did you do to rectify the prob? I might be wrong but if the...

I don't think I did, did I?

Hi Channel Hopper Thanks for getting back to me. I can dismiss the chain. All seems quiet in the vicinity of it. I have also checked the injectors and they are OK. The sound a blow by makes is not the same as the metallic sound I am getting. Since I put some Ceramic grease on them when I...

Hi Guys Having recently changed the timing and oil chains I now notice what can best be described as a drumming which is coming from the resonator box in front of the engine. I am also now getting a loud clicking noise coming from under the rocker cover. I thought it might be an hydraulic...

Hi Mr Honda Thanks for your input. I decided to put the new chain on exactly as the old one came off. Got it all back together and thankfully the engine did start. I was amased at the condition of the the chain and guides. I have done 218k in the car and the chain hadn.t streched at all...

Hi Engine was ticking over nicely when it stopped all of a sudden. Traced proble to the fuel., or lack of it. Have got fuel to the pump as I have traced it up to the fuel line into the pump but when I turn the ignition on or when I try to start the engine, no fuel comes out of the fuel outlet...

Hi After a long (months and months) deliberation, I took the bull by the horns and started on replacing the timing chain and bits. One thing I noticed was the position of the timing marks. When all the (brass) coloured chain links are in the correct place and the camshaft cogs are in the...
