    AC Compressor faulty

    Check for electrical and mechanical faults within the system before writing off the compressor. Can be something really cheap like a malfunctioning sensor, a bad relay or worn out clutch. If you can freely spin the compressor clutch by hand then it's likely not completely dead.

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Fixed the issue, for future reference the culprit was a worn down compressor clutch. Once heated up the metal expanded and the air gap increased enough to stop the clutch from engaging, the fix is to remove a shim from under the clutch plate to bring the gap back into spec or replace the...

    Window switch (I guess)

    You will need the part number from the back of your own switch because they're different between trims/body styles. I know for sure that if you fit a master ES/GT switch to an EX the auto dipping mirror won't work.

    Head Gasket Selection

    Impact socket on the retainer and a tap with a hammer makes them pop right out. There's also a cutout towards the spark plug tube just big enough to get a finger in and hold the cotters in place.

    Head Gasket Selection

    FWIW you can make a valve spring compressor quite easily with some scrap metal, this is what I made to replace valve stem seals on my K20 cylinder head.

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Checked once again, once the compressor disengages poking the clutch does not engage it again (spins for about a second and disengages again). Letting the compressor cool down with the engine idling does not do anything. After cycling the ignition and aircon neither fans or clutch come on with...

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Yeah that's what I'm asking. Is there any way to check the actual readout of the sensor either via HDS or by checking the resistance on the plug or something. Seems a bit odd to me because if I set the temp to say 18c instead of LO it can work fine for much longer periods of time. Do you know...

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    Is that something that can be checked with HDS or do I have to chase the wiring with a multimeter?

    Aircon clutch engaging intermittently

    I'm at the wits' end with this one so bear with me... Aircon been regassed and checked for leaks, all is perfect. Blows 5°C air when it works but after running for about 10-15 minutes compressor clutch disengages and won't engage again until the car has been shut off and sat for 10-15 mins...

    K24Z3 Interminnent metallic knocking/pinging noise

    K24Z has a revised chain guide allowing the stretch to be measured from the top - check service manual. If it's the 2.2 diesel no idea, sorry.

    Headlights - Are they Xenon or Halogen

    AFAIK on the 8th gen Xenons were an option. Headlight washers and lack of adjustment would indicate that they're indeed fitted. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/honda-europe/accord/2009_6MT/3389/electric/B__0801
