I read on a post that working with injectors can be tricky to not damage them and specialist tools may need to be used. Amazing how a little seal can make the engine sound look and smell like it’s a goner. It’s purring along now (as much as a diesel can purr)

Thx for replies. Honda dealer confirmed it was injector seal and are replacing it today. They provided a quote of €280 for parts and labour

Here is a better link to video showing engine issue https://file.io/ZLOyE06HioD7

Dealer service dept was out the door with work. Cars waiting 2wks to be looked at. Left car with them and now I don’t know when it will be looked at or how much it will cost to fix. I hope it’s a quick inexpensive repair.

I'll have honda take a look at it tomorrow morning, as fumes in cabin is dangerous. Sometimes it is hard to pinpoint leak, as fumes could be finding some easy path to escape. Just checked my invoices, and see it was 2yrs ago that honda did egr pipe replacement, at a cost of 430eu. :-{ i could do...

I had exhaust fumes coming into the cabin last year on my '09 Honda Accord 2.2D EX Auto diesel (175k mls) and it turned out the EGR pipe was cracked, so i had it replaced which fixed the issue. Today, the engine sounded a bit 'tappetty', and i could see smoke coming out of bonnet side from...

above part looks to be for Tourer Rear, not Front. Front disc pair part no. is 45251-TL1-G01 https://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/honda-shop/genuine-honda-accord-tourer-front-brake-disc-pair-2009-2015/

Thx for the interesting replies. Looks easy to remove - 4 bolts, and would look well if refurbished properly, although to remove rust, prepare, undercoat/prime, topcoat sounds less than straightforward due to the high temp. I didn't want to spend the €123 on a new one :) @...

The DPF heat shield can tarnish greatly over time. Rather than fork out for a new one, has anyone tried to refurbish one themselves?

changing the air filter to a proper honda one has my mpg up from 33mpg to 39mpg, even hit 41mpg ar one stage. Amazed at how much it has inproved.

have you tried moving the seat? moving seat down and back will make the seat belt easier to fasten. there is also an adjustment on the door pillar which won't affect fastening, but may help with comfort.

best to use the honda one....as it is oil impregnated, and engineered to suit the car. some aftermarkets have less pleats, so less surface area, and also different filtration levels, and air throughput. worth paying the extra for the genuine honda one, especially when it takes 1min to fit it...

a known issue i had with my previous mk7 accord petrol model was not closing the fuel filler cap fully. You need to ensure it is turned several 'clicks'. If not, car can go into 'limp' mode while driving down the motorway.

8th gen has about 12 speakers in the cabin. i'm a bit confused about the below genuine honda accord speaker upgrade:: http://www.glynhopkinpartsonline.co.uk/product/Accord_Upgrade_Speakers%2C_Dual_Cone_08A55-TL0-600A# I'm looking to upgrade the speakers, but the webpage mentions: "Note: Not to...

i couldn't get the bluetooth working for iphone audio either, but as John mentions, a USB stick loaded with songs plays nicely through the AUX channel via the USB connector in the center console box.

i did the same. There was that silly tyre repair kit in mine, and the fluid was out of date, and is not good for the tyre, even if it does fix the puncture. I went with the full size (steel) replacement. While it sits proud, i bought a nice fitted cover on ebay to go over it, and am pleased...

I'm also disappointed with the 2.2 I-DTEC MPG in my '09 Accord EX Auto. Am getting 33MPG. Mostly Town and occasional 20mile round trips, but was expecting better. I've just changed my Air Filter, and have reset, and that may help. Also, am due an oil change, so will ensure fully synthetic 0/30...
