Honda Technical Bulletins

[pauljdh]

Hi, do we, Joe Public, have access to the issued Honda UK service bulletins issued as required against in-service faults and issues?

If so is there a central repository.

Thanks

paul

Generally no, but if you search the internet then you will find people who will post them. They are only issued to Honda dealers to aid the techs in fixing common problems and issues. The problem is when some members of the public get access to these documents they don't read them fully and then go into the dealerships demanding their car has whatever update the document says when their car is not even on the list. From experience the civic owners are the most problematic they get hold of the bulletins and make an appointment to say their car needs all of the updates. Ive never had an issue with Accord owners yet. Is there something in particular you want to know then?

Paul.

You can pay directly for them.... http://www.techinfo.honda-eu.com/uk/en/language.html but I'm nearly certain someone over on hondakarma already has access and posts them on their site.

If you have any issues then I would expect most of them have been covered on here but if not ask. The most common issue is the dpf failing around the 100k mark.

By far the most common issue I see is dpf failing and blocked turbo vanes causing boost errors. Both are related.

I'm pretty sure on the Honda website you can check for any outstanding recalls on your car

Working for me. It's case sensitive, and don't confuse zeros for the letter 'o'.
