    hesitent acceleration and poor mpg

    If its slipping clutch, its unlikely to do it in the first 3-4 gears, or at least it wont be very noticable. The best bet is to find a straight road and put it in 5th/6th gear and put your foot down flat at about 1.5k-2k rpm, if the revs rise and the speed doesnt pick up much and then the revs...

    P2004 - IMRC Intake Manifold Runner Control problems

    Personally, i think that it is just a common fault on the facelift cars. Mine hardly ever does it now, but does occasionally do it and I have changed pretty much everything and had lots of diagnostic work done. I tend to find it happens more if its a cold or damp day. Fuel seems to make no...

    Oil light and battery light came on

    Sounds to me like when you have put the clutch in it has stalled, the battery light and oil light would come on and the steering would go heavy, then when you let the clutch out slowing down it would restart.

    Possibly the best DAB option

    If its anything close to the price they charge for a new headunit, then you might as well replace your car.... its generally cheaper! :lol:

    Dead battery check engine

    The system light stays on for I beleive 3 start stops after it registers the fault. If the fault is no longer there then it goes off after 3 start stops of about 30 seconds or longer. It explains it in the owners handbook somewhere.

    Better MPG on Sputnik..finally

    Winter tends to kill my MPG. I tend to get sub 40 mpg in the winter or around 40 and in the summer I get higher 40's, between 45-50. Mine is the six speed facelift though. Run to work is around 17 miles each way. Last full tank was 44mpg

    2006 CDTI

    Yes there are a number of thigs like different grill, headlights and multiple other thiings, but on the diesel the 6th gear is a big giveaway. the pre-facelift was only available in 5 speed

    Wheel Bearings?

    This may sound silly, but how long have you had the tyres on and how worn are they? Some brands of tyres and worn tyres can often make a noise which gets worse with speed and sounds like a wheel bearing.

    HFT - a bit of a mystery problem

    Just disconnect it. simples. It doesnt do anything else and everything still works apart from the HFT

    Condensation on boot lid

    My mate has it on his 6th Gen hatchback so maybe common. Worth checking the seals looks OK though.

    How to remove front fog lights - facelift model

    If you have not already done so I can confirn that you can remove the fog lights as per the video with the top of the bumper being released. I had to change one of mine as it smashed. It was a bit fiddly, but definitely easier than the whole bumper off!

    Awful dipped beam!

    Adam, if you do order the 55w ones, let me know what they are like, I might get a set. Infact I might just order a set after Christmas, but if you do I would be interested in the difference. Cheers, Nick PS have you got 5000K in at the moment?

    Manifold replacement

    £60.... try £90, I told them to do one. I really do detest Marshall Honda Strange, when I took mine to HH for the manifold they replaced the coolant as they drained it when changing the manifold. May have been as they damaged a coolant pipe, but I was under the impression that a coolant pipe...

    How much ?

    DO NOT let them replace the EGR without just replacing the Fuel Filter first. Fuel Filters cause all sorts of issues on these as they are often overlooked. Fuel filter's are about £30 plus fitting (£30-50 at I dealer I suspect). The EGR's are damn expenisive, like £500 expensive and dont often fail!

    manifold issue and 5w-30 oil with Marshall honda York

    The Marshall group (my local Honda dealer) were unhelpful when my manifold was needing to be checked, they wanted to charge me £90 to check it. They also wanted to charge me £35 for wipers despite they are only £25 under Honda Happiness. So I ended up at HH for both. The other day my brother...

    Could I use a CRV MAF in my Accord ?

    I had my injectors checked and recalibrated by HH. To be honest I didnt notice any big changes, but I have done everything you have and more, sometimes more than one thing at a time. I personally would look at removing the remap you have had and like faddy said, take it from there! My mpg was...

    Could I use a CRV MAF in my Accord ?

    Well I changed the EGR Ian as part of my mission on finding an issue with mine and it did naff all. Saying that, injectors are pricey to say the least! There is the odd place that can test the injectors, near me there is a bosch diesel injector specialist that can check injectors.
