    2007 i-CTDi diesel

    Phone Honda first and explain the problem to them. They might cover the cost of parts and labour, meet you half way on price, or a plain 'no'.

    Tyres worn out from outside only

    Tyre pressure should be 32psi on 17" rims for normal loads, not 33, not 35. My opinion, of course, based on several years ownership. And it's not normal if it's pulling to the left on the motorway. It needs FOUR WHEEL alignment, have they actually done that?

    Fuel Consumption & Tank Level

    I've reverted back to Shell regular diesel. I'm not experiencing any difference in power but the fuel consumption on motorways is actually better than V-Power!

    car battery changed, key fob not working

    I changed the battery on the master key. It's working now. I'll do the same with the spare key In case the key fob loses sync with the car, this is what you do: 1. Sit in the car with all doors/bootlid tightly closed 2. Turn the key to the ON position, marked by "II" on the ignition bezel so...

    car battery changed, key fob not working

    Just had the car battery changed and now the key fob is not doing anything. If I unlock the car manually, it only opens the driver door and car alarm goes off. Do I need to recalibrate the fob with the car? I know one fob key needs a battery change, but even the spare key does not unlock the car.

    Yep, V power diesel is highly recommended on these engines.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    I'm fairly sure that my manifold is cracked, but the Honda garage didn't notice any leakage, or even the independent garage that I use. It's only noticeable in cold temps, it smells around the front of the car, but as it warms up the boomy effect subsides and is less noisy. Seriously thinking of...

    A few questions about servicing

    1. Should I wait until the service indicator comes on before i do another service? 2. Can I check the service indicator to see how many miles are left until the next service? 3. At this mileage do I need to have the transmission fluid changed? 4. Is it worth having clutch, brake and pas fluid...

    What sort of mpg do you all get on your diesels?

    About 500 miles per tank using v power only. Mixture of motorway and inner city. Around 44 to 46mpg.

    How much oil?

    They always show me the used parts and I know they've used my oil. One of these days I'd like to learn to do it myself including the fuel filter.

    How much oil?

    I buy 6 litres of oil and give it to the garage. I never trust these guys unless I give them the parts.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    The welding job would cost you around 200-300 quid. Any decent garage can do this. My preference would be to get the new part fitted. Try Saki Autos on the warwick road, Sparkhill.

    Diesel fuel filters. How often should they be changed?

    Thanks. I won't bother having it changed this year.

    Diesel fuel filters. How often should they be changed?

    Should Diesel fuel filters be changed every year? If the vehicle is regularly serviced at Honda, do they change it every year? I only use v power, I guess that helps keep the filter cleaner than regular fuel...?

    Mobile 1 ESP Vs Castrol Edge Oil (Also BG244 Diesel Cleaner)

    Stick to v power. Makes a big difference on these cars because they are so fluid sensitive!

    Possible manifold problem

    Cracked manifold can cause vibrations and boom into the interior depending on outside temp. The colder the temp outside the worse it sounds and feels.

    Buying advice for a 2.2 CDTI 2004-2006 model, £2000

    Like others have said, the diesels are fine if you service them regularly. As for torque, you really need Fahad to tune it - trust me, it transforms the car.

    So Many Tyre Options...

    They are terrific when the temp is above 8 or 10c. Not so good when it's cold, obviously since they are summer tyres. Not sure about road noise, on rough surfaces they are noisy, but that's more the Accord's lack of sound deadening. ******* As a general rule, remember to let your insurance...

    AH! The reverse light! Exactly want I need, the standard bulb is so dim. Is it easy to wire, or is it just a bulb replacement?
