    Air con is this normal?

    My ac does the same. Had an issue in the summer with it not blowing through very cold. Took it in for a re-gas. No leaks found and the pressure was good. They said it just needed a good clean out. It was back to Icey cold after. The compressor still kicks in and out. Had a Lexus before which did...

    total power loss 2.2 idtec

    Mine failed an MOT due to a cracked EGR pipe. The local main dealer wanted over £400 to replace it. I got Honda UK to authorise a free of charge replacement given that it’s a known fault. Apparently they’d extended the warranty on that part. I was just a couple of days inside it. Phew. Didn’t...

    Heater Fan Fault

    Update: So I removed the pollen filter and picked out a few stray bits of leaf. The filter was only changed recently and is in good condition. I then removed the panel under the glove box; disconnected the power to the fan motor; undid the 3 screws holding the motor in; and dropped it out for...

    Thanks buddy. I’ll remove the pollen filter and take a look. Fingers crossed for a stray leaf being stuck in there!

    Heater Fan Fault

    Evening all, Gozzy from Norfolk here in need of your collective wisdom! I have a 2012 Accord Ex auto Diesel with 55k on the clock which has suddenly developed a problem with the heating fan. Lovely timing in this cold and wet weather spell! I was driving home tonight and when the traffic...

    Poor air conditioning performance and engine running hot

    Sorry for the delay replying guys. Honda quoted £85. I took it to Quik Fit in the end, as they have the money back guarantee if the recharge doesn't lower the a/c temp. They charged £60. Honda suggested that the a/c not running properly would cause the engine temp spike, as the system would...

    Poor air conditioning performance and engine running hot

    Thanks all. I booked it in for a recharge. The garage said the gas level was fine, but the system needed a clean. They emptied and recharged the gas. It's now back to icy cold. I fitted a new pollen filter as well, as the old one looked quite grim despite being replaced on the last service...

    Poor air conditioning performance and engine running hot

    It's never been recharged. Would a low charge cause the engine to run hot? By putting more strain on the system I guess?

    Poor air conditioning performance and engine running hot

    Hi all, I have a 2012 Diesel Accord with 55k on the clock that has developed a possible issue with the air conditioning. This previously ran icy cold in all weathers, but now only seems to blow cool(ish) at best, although it does get colder if the outside temperature is lower. This seems to...

    Poor mpg and Car performance feels a bit 'flat'

    Did you resolve this mate? I had a similar issue and it turned out to be a cracked EGR pipe. Have you noticed a smell of diesel fumes in the cabin at all?

    8th Gen Windscreen Clips

    Hi all I lost a windscreen side trim on my 8th gen 2012 Accord during a motorway journey in high winds (the wind got underneath it and ripped it clean off!). A quick bit of research on the net revealed that this is a known issue, however according to my local dealer, Honda had "fixed" this...
