It might be worth inspecting the dvd reader lens in case it's just dusty. It's a dual layer reader and something in the light path can interfere with the granularity the data stream beyond whatever error correction is built into the system. Also pull out and reseat any connectors as these cars...

Saw this on FB when some guy asked Chat GPT to generate an example of a hotted up CM wagon in a particular colour. Would have made a good April fools post but it's a bit late for that.

The clutch creak is a result of Honda not building the clutch pedal cage stiff enough across a whole bunch of models. With the brake pedal it is likely to be just the joints wearing and drying out a bit. You should be able to lube each one. If you can't work grease into a tight joint, try PFTE...

I could feel my back complaining just reading your post. Nowadays I build up a pile of towels and pillows so I can lean on the car and engine.

If you have images of the actual parts I am definitely interested in looking at those.

A properly seated standard 55W bulb in a parabolic reflector is pretty efficient, so something must be off. Are these H1 or H7 bulbs?

No it is not the same link. This is a file other people on this forum have recently confirmed working. I do not know where it came from. It only works on Internet Explorer. It is a database viewed on an IE interface (page). It is not an application or program that installs with an .exe, even...

The ***embly is bolted to the lower left side of the condenser if you are looking at it from the front. This is why the condenser for diesel cars is different from the petrol models - it has 2 holes on the underside that hold the bypass ***embly. Bumper off is easiest, but you are only...

Does it do the same thing when the engine is still warming up? (temperature gauge not rising yet) When you turn on heating only when the engine is already hot, does the heating work immediately? (slow reaction could mean low coolant, blockage, or air in cooling system) Do you get much heat...

In projector headlights, the part that determines both the illumination pattern as well as the left or right bias is the shutter. LHD and RHD headlights have mirror image patterns of each other cut in the top edge of the shutters. As far as I can tell from the very few images of the actual...

This just happened to me as well. Limp mode like performance. No check engine, and left my code reader at home. But I do have a fuel filter with me, so I'm hoping it's that!

The only time I have seen the pump properly is when I had the front bumper off..

I had a horrendous run of failing H1 bulbs on low beam (dipped). It turned out that despite my confidence that I had it worked out, I was still managing to not seat the bulbs propely. It's been 2 years on the same set now (cheap aliexpress bulbs) and I drive with lights on day and night.

OK next obvious question.. are your brake pads wearing evenly?

Is the car lowered?

Might seem obvious, but replacing the timing chain and ***ociated hard to get to bits is way easier while the engine is out. If the Mk8 box fits it might open a few other possibilities, such as retrofitting the Mk7 diesel with an automatic, or fitting an entire Mk8 engine and gearbox into a...

Intermittent problems can drive you nuts.. Do you mind being asked some obvious questions like have the axles and CV's ever been changed?

Read the error codes, if any. Keep your tank topped up and keep driving, in case it is a temporarily polluted O2 sensor. Change the fuel filter before doing anything mechanical.

This sounds like a PITA, but perhaps you can troubleshoot this by disconnecting the wires at (or to) each lock actuator in turn, and see if the problem goes away at when one of them is disconnected. Or disconnect them all at the central point and feed them back in one by one. This will need a...
