Bought an 07 diesel tourer EX last year thinking Hondas were bulletproof but not turning out to be the case so far unfortunately.
So far with 114k on teh clock the Manifold has had to be replaced following fumes coming into the cab (which thankfully turned out to be covered by extended warrenty)
Rear callipers have ceased meaning replacement of them, discs and pads and the brake lines
And now the Air Con compressor appears to have gone as its making a high pitched screeching noise so have had to drive to the Alps without AC in fear of it ceasing. Does this sound true? Seems to come and go as AC is turned on however it still works. I wasnt 100% certain that it wasnt something to do with loading on the alternator?
Plus it sounds like a bag of spanners, not sure if one of the bearings has gone on one of the pulleys or if its the timing chain tensioner) however Honda told me there isnt a service interval on that so suspect its not)
Coupled with the fact that insurance is ridiculous in comparison to a golf GT tdi im thinking i have made a mistake with the tourer! Not sure if im unlucky or if they are genuinely just not that good.
Noticed somewhere on here the other day that there is somewhere on the Honda site where you can enter a chassis number for recalls, could have been to do with a misty headlamp (which is another thing to happen) but i cant for the life of me find where this is on the Honda site, any clues?
One happy Accord owner!
