Hi all,
I recently started smelling fumes in the cabin and suspected it was the infamous EGR pipe cracking. A quick chat with Fahad over at Premier Tuning led to a successful diagnostic of the problem: Smell of fumes behind the battery area, smoke coming from the driver-side wheel-well etc. He mentioned that if the DPF had indeed been removed, then he could get the work done on Sunday and for a lower price than the DPF + EGR removal package. Following his instructions I managed to confirm that the DPF was out (jacking up the car and taking a look after unbolting part of the exhaust) but also discovered that the previous owner had drilled a hole in the cat as well
. Fahad said this wouldn't be a problem for the tune.
Did the drive to Halifax Sunday morning and have to say that he's a sound guy and of course knows a lot about these cars. He did the work + diagnostics in around 2 hours and, with this being my first accord, was able to point out some things which I hadn't noticed! Fumes in the cabin gone and engine responsiveness and power are improved massively. Overall, great service and would recommend to anyone having similar problems.
