There are several old threads that cover this topic in a lot of detail. Don't feel shy to ask for clarification in old threads. It is in the conversational nature nature of internet forums that thread topics sometimes spin off other questions. Moderators can split threads into new topics if...

That is almost exactly what the signs tells me when I pull up at a fuel station :oops: I have been running bog standard diesel for 3 or so years without any issues either. The largest users of automotive diesel don't seem to be queuing up at the Premium pump though, so that would indicate that...

We live in a world where it's impossible to tell where engineering stops and marketing spin takes over. Premium diesel costs about 12 to 15% over standard here. I don't know what the differences are like in the UK or EU. So I wonder about this a bit, and most of the info online seems to be...

I still need someone to convince me that so called premium diesel isn't just ordinary truck diesel with a tiny bit of whatever cleaning additive that you do not really need, thrown in.

https://fuse-box.info/acura/acura-tsx-cl9-2004-2008-fuses Pull out fuse No.4 in the engine bay fuse box. What happens?

This sounds like the ABS pump/modulator is developing sticky valves perhaps. Braking hard activated the modulation circuits and cleared (for now) what was playing up. OK, this is inductive speculation, based on this question I posted in this forum. However If you do not know the age and...

Has anyone here used a press to change the bearing in the rear Tourer bearing ***embly? If so, how did you remove the old bearing?

uBlock Origin extension on Firefox - I've never seen ads. But I just checked the site on an open android browser and jeeeeeeessusss.. :eek:

I can't located it on the (first) photo but is there a visible crack in the paint?

This is new to me as well. The only oiled filters (apart from the stock VW oil bath) I have used were sticky oil impregnated foam that clogged up the moment you hit a dirt road. So what are these original Honda filters?

I think you need to clear it manually.

Yes, I think so. Does the fault reappear when you clear it? If the sensors are all working the main suspects are connectors possibly being moisture affected. A tonne of low voltage electrical problems are solved by simply removing, cleaning and re-plugging, contacts and earths..

The actuator pulls the vanes into position and is an external vacuum operated part. You do not need to pull the turbo to change it but it might be a touch finicky at the turbo end of the shaft. First inspect the vacuum line connected to it. If there is a leak the actuator won't work...

Mildly confused. You said they are working, did not want to replug or swap them over, but you will fit new ones? It could just be a bit of corrosion on a contact patch. How did you test it was working despite it being reported as faulty?

It's a parking sensor failure? Not hard to replace. You can probably find a very cheap replacement on Aliexpress, or get the same item packaged by Honda for 30 times more.. Maybe first unplug / clean / re-plug the one that is there.

It is inadvisable to run tyres of different circumferences on the front as it forces the differential to shift the drive to the larger wheel instead of more or less dividing it between both wheels. But on the rear the car might fractionally lean - if at all; the tyre profile on a space saver...

I can't find outer lenses for the non-US Mk7 at all. Not even when I look for Acura TSX. Every other generation and type is catered for but for some reason only the US Mk7 Accord with the triangular headlights are covered by aftermarket manufacturers. Seems odd, given the popularity of the...

The problem with that is that you aren't able to flash the high beam, which is a legal requirement in most countries. BTW brake fluid is meant to cut through UV faded plastic. I haven't tried this because I recently polished my lights. Speaking of polished lights, while my lights look nice and...

You can still find some non-straw coloured DOT4 fluid here, if you search for it. It won't be any of the big brands though. Brightly coloured brake fluids are popular in Asian markets, for use in customised mopeds and motorbikes. These are still sold under DOT numbers. Mixing a little bit of...

I didn't know red rubber grease came in blue :oops: However I do use this stuff. This is blue for branding purposes though. It has nothing to do with functionality. Red Rubber grease is red so it doesn't get confused with other types of grease. After reading up on it I think I will start...
