54plate 2.2 executive accord tourer newbie minor issues.

[nige93]

Hi guys new to the forum and the accord, had a couple of petrol honda before, and ej9 and an mb6 vti. Needed a diesel due to new work commitments as I'm travelling 120miles per day. When I was looking I stumbled across a 54 plate accord tourer with 84k on the clock and exterior, interior was mint and had service history.

Now Im loving the car, however it has started leaking and I think I've narrowed it down to the power steering cooling pipe which runs across the front of the radiator. Is this a common fault? Easy enough job to do yourself and where's best place to get parts?

Cheers guys

Easy enough to swap out once the bumper's off, as everything's really accessible then.

Mine took a rock to the face last month and started leaking. Cut and bent the pipe to remove the run across the radiator and back, to keep it on the road and it's all happy.

Not 100% sure it needs that loop for cooling in this country anyway.

I have done some research and it seems that quite a few people do bypass that with a flexi hose so ithat doesn't run across the front.

Cheers for the reply
