Yes, 360 is days, if you drive over 1000 miles per month, it would change to miles remaining instead of days. But I was more curios about the "B". As oil has to be changed every 360 days anyway. And oil change is "A". So why do I see "B" which is just inspection. Maybe "AB" would make more sense...

I'll probably remove the reminder at the dealer on next oil change. But back to the question - I can see all the service codes in my book. I can also see that oil change is 12.5k miles (20k km actually) / 12 months (whichever comes first). So after I reset the oil change reminder, why is it...

I bought a second hand 8th gen and serviced everything. My service did not reset the reminder and it was still saying I have to change "2" - which is the dust filter. I did a reset and it went back to "A / 360", and "A" means oil change. But my oil was also just changed, so I reset it again and...

I can confirm that. The brakes on 8th gen 2.4i are far better and HUGE. On 7th gen diesel you could go with 16" rims (I used 16" rims for the winter tires). WIth 8th gen you have to go with 17" or bigger rims and I had a set of 17" rims from a Civic 8th gen that I used on my Accord 7th but they...

Well, the cold engine consumes more fuel compared to the same engine - heated to a suitable temperature. But the reason the diesel warms up very slowly is because it's so energy efficient - it wastes much less energy as heat. So even if the diesel would be working in sub-optimal conditions on...

The Premium Sound of 7th gen was marvelous (at least to my taste). The Premium Sound of 8th gen seems worse in every possible aspect - and my 7th saloon didn't even have a subwoofer. First thing I did after I bought the tourer was to do soundproofing of the doors and rear fenders. Then I saw...

I have a 2.4i Accord Tourer with automatic gearbox and with 50% city / 50% highway I get around 25mpg uk. I have a tool I've developed myself to track this: http://www.carspending.com/en/vehicles/5734-honda-accord-ex-tourer Make sure to change to UK locale. Purely on highway with around...

Yes, I've been driving my car for almost 100 000km (it's around 270 000km now) and I'm pretty accustomed to the whistling you are describing. But few days ago, when cold it started whistling way harder and different, like a referee whistle "firrrr". I'll get it to specialised turbo service to...

So this morning my turbo started to whistle like a siren on cold start. Sign that I need a new turbo (I don't trust recycling). I was wondering if a turbo from N22A2 or i-DTEC would fit my pre-facelift N22A1 diesel. Any suggestions?

I wrote to CG while ago and asked them "Which kit would be able to handle Stage 1 and potentially Stage 2 remap, staying as close as possible to the feel of the original clutch and be reliable in the long run?" and they offered me the Dual Friction kit. Some people say that they even like more...

Thanks for the descriptive post Jon_G! I want to explore all my options. Apparently a Dual Friction Kit from CG is 675 GBP shipping included and a kit clutch + DMF is 525 GBP. I've changed my clutch 35k km ago, but didn't change the DMF (which was already in pretty bad shape). The car had...

Is there a difference between the LUK DMF of pre-facelift and facelift versions? Which is the best LUK DMF that fits N22A1? I'm currently considering to go either CG Motorsport Dual Friction kit or get a LUK DMF. But I notice there 3 different DMFs (by their model numbers) by LUK, do all of them...

I couldn't find many "reviews" there, especially such that have used this kit for longer time (eg at least 30k miles with some remap). The guys that make these kits say that they will last at least as much as the original but being capable to handle the increased torque. Hard to believe given...

I changed the clutch on mine after letting it slip for few months 1.5 years ago. Back then I didn't know it's bad for the flywheel. So my Honda mechanic told me the DM flywheel is in bad shape but it will work for some more time. I'm frequently driving abroad so now I'm thinking to change it...

There are few between 85 and 150 but they are all the same exact one that I paste for 85 GBP. I could expect a real genuine tool to cost many times more but at least the one from 85 GBP has few customer ratings that say they bought exactly the Honda HDS and it works "fabulous". I might risk...

I have an ELM327 reader that maybe is no good except for reading some general info from the ECU. Now that I started a thread about a problem I have, I get a lots of "you need HDS logs". So I checked on ebay, and there are different devices ranging from 30 to 150 pounds, that claim to be "Honda...

I'd order some from ebay.co.uk as well. Right now there are only separate single units for around 80-100GBP. There is a "Bosch Diesel Center" here that claims to fully recycle worn off injectors but I have no idea how reliable that is. I'd rather spend 300-400 GBP for a set of used injectors...

What is the price of the injectors? Did you replace or "recycle" them?

Thanks again for the reply! Intake or exhaust manifold? The exhaust manifold had been cracked and there was strong smell of burned diesel inside the car from it, so they removed and welded it - it seems to be a very common problem with pre-face lift 7th gens. Since then there has been no...

Yes, the car has the EGR OFF option. I do expect it to have black smoke when flooring. But this is really A LOT black smoke, making a THICK BLACK FOG behind me lasting for several minutes maybe, also I would not expect it to smoke visibly when going downhill on gear or driving at constant rate...
