    Exol Oil Optima VIMAX (M344) vs Optima LSH (M421)

    Thanks, so you didn't change the oil filter when you did the 6k oil change ? I was thinking of doing the oil and filter at 8k intervals. Is there anywhere you can get the 25ltr tub, ebay only seems to sell the 20ltr ones now ?

    Exol Oil Optima VIMAX (M344) vs Optima LSH (M421)

    Hi there, Just looking for some advice. I'm considering one of the above but not sure which I should be purchasing, for a 2007 CTDI. There is a difference in price between both oils and both are 0 - 30. Looking at the facts and figures seems like one is C2 low SAPS (M421) for cars with DPF. Is...

    Crankshaft Pully or Chain ?

    OK, so without removing the belt, how can you check the wear limit ? I hear a subtle rattle around the crank shaft pully which you need to listen for over the normal engine noise. Having spoke to a few back street garages suggest either am paranoid or its chain noise, but its early...

    Crankshaft Pully or Chain ?

    ok done some more reading...I'm just trying to understand why the sound of the chain can be heard on idle only. Isn't it the case that the chain is more audible when you bring up the revs to 1k - 2k ? Was wondering if I should throw in some Wynns engine flush to see if that helps get the...

    Crankshaft Pully or Chain ?

    Hi there, I have been investigating a ticking/rattle sound coming from the aux belt area. Read loads of threads and have done some checks by removing the AUX belt and running the engine. The noise is still there. So it seems like its the crankshaft pully or the chain itself. The noise isn't...

    Rear Cambers

    Hi, I'm looking at addressing an issue with uneven rear tyre wear based on previous MOTs and receipts (seems like the inner bit of the tyre wears quicker). Only had the car for a few weeks and it has 18' Honda alloys so thought its best to get this issue fixed sooner rather than later. Also...

    Engine light and glow plug light flashes

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, and had an issue today which I managed to fix through some info on the internet. Thought it was so useful that I'd post on here for anyone else with a similar problem. I have a facelift 2.2 CTDI Saloon and as part of the learning experience was just cleaning up and...

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Hi Guys, I'm new to the forum and needed some clarification on the Accord manifold issue. I understand the repair applies to cars less than 7 years or less than 125k miles. For clarification purposes I have a 57 plate '2008' CTDI which has covered 107k - should Honda offer to replace the...
