    Clutch & DMF replaced (7th Gen)

    without checking previous posts i ***ume the measuring methods for the DMF have been described before but the specification you are after is a movement of 3.5 to 35mm. if it moves any less or more than this honda deam the flywheel as needing replacing. it is obviously not ideal when a car is...

    key

    a good honda dealer that. its simple to do so long as its just the central locking that needs coding. just a series of turning the ignition on and off while pressing the lock button on the fob.

    key

    if the keys still start the car i would suggest changing the batteries as a start. you may find the central locking needs re-coding which is simple enough to do and does not require a hds. let us know how you get on after changing the batteries.

    Accord handbrake adjustment

    the handbrake is judged by its efficancy and whether the rear wheels lock or not. the mot tester may give an advisory for excessive travel but so long as it works clicks do not come into it. i regret i caunt remember what the honda spec is but 3 - 6 clicks is about where you want to be with a...

    you access it by taking the pannel off the back of the centre console. push both front seats fully forwards and remmove 2 x screws either side of the rear pannel. there easy to spot as there are no other screws there. once removed use idealy a trim tool but you could use a srewdriver wrapped in...

    VSA Modulator Light

    i diagnosed it but havnt seen it since? perhapse it was replaced while i was on training. but i suppose they are all made by the same company so it suggests its not just limited to the accord, some of the same batch may have been fitted to other models?. at leist we know honda have allready made...

    the fuel pump relay (pgmfi main relay 2) was countermeasured for 05 model accord CL7, CL9, CM1 CM2,jazz and frv. with your car being 2002 it is unlikely this is your problem however the problem was due to a defect from the supplyer Mitsuba and the countermeasure was to check the manufacturer of...

    Timing Chain?

    the updates can take just over half an hour. regards the rattle, I would not imagine an ecu update will cure this but i can be proven wrong. I haven't herd the noise so cant really comment but it may well turn out to be normal diesel noise. you cant get a diesel to sound like a petrol no matter...
