    Should an idle speed outside of spec be a cause for concern?

    Not sure if this is petrol specific or not, but my service manual says that under heavy load my idle speed should be 720+/-50 rpm. My idle speed is basically always between 800 and 850, rock solid and not bouncing. Could this be a vacuum leak of some sort?

    Weird mis match with the radiator reserve tank

    I have the petrol version of the owner's manual for my car, so I'm not sure if this is different on the diesel, but according to my owner's manual the MIN and MAX reading on the reserve tank sound be on the back side, but on my reserve tank it's on the passenger side and basically impossible to...

    Does brand and pleats of an air filter matter?

    Seeing as how picky the diesel variant of the 7th gen can be about its fuel filter, it got me thinking about what kind of a difference the air filter brand and pleat count can make, seeing as how air is even more important for diesels than a petrol. The OE part number for the air filter is...

    engine light on

    hi to all I own a 56 reg 2.2i cdti accord with 160,000 on the clock. The car is smooth and drive's well. But recently my car has gone into limp mode or safe mode which ever it is, and it does not go over 2k revs in any gear. I was on the motorway going home and all of a sudden the engine light...

    leaking head gasket?

    Hi there. I'm currently trying to sell my Accord. The first person to view the car has said "Sorry but it looks like the head gasket is leaking". and walked away. I don't blame him if this is the case. Unfortunately I have no idea, but to be honest it doesn't look too good. there's quite a bit...
