Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of the following...
Our 2004 2.2i-ctdi had the exhaust manifold replaced under warranty at 70k miles (before we bought it).
It now has 132k miles on the clock and we're getting the dreaded stink in the cabin.
I know it's outside of the extended warranty now, but I'm just wondering if Honda might help out in some way considering this is the 2nd time we've had this problem. Has anyone had their replacement manifold crack and got it covered by Honda?
Just on a sidenote, we were servicing the car yesterday, and noticed a lot of crud sitting on the engine block around one of the injectors. Is this a tell-tale sign of a leak? And would that give the same smell as a cracked manifold?
And there was also what looked like a leak from a large pipe just in front of the passenger wheel - any ideas what this could be?
I'll be ringing dealership tomorrow to have these things looked at, but just wanted a heads up on what they might be.
Finally (for now), I have searched the forum, but still not sure what part we need to replace...
A while back, the driver's window started playing up intermittently.
If it was up, you could hear it sometimes still moving a little bit as though it was still trying to go up even more although noone was touching the button.
Other times, it wouldn't go up or down when you pressed the button, or we would be putting the window up and then it would go down as though it was hitting an object and safety mode was kicking in.
Now, it's permanently up and won't do anything when you press the switch.
Where would be a good place to start investigating?
