Reviving and old thread

It has taken over 5 years, but it's great to see Honda podium with its Red Bull debut, and was faster than Ferrari over the weekend. The emotions of the Japanese engineers...

The fuel usage was based on trip meter and fuel at pump. Both were showing a little better on the computer. Eg. Accord 6.7l dash vs 7.0l actual.

Also forgot to mention I have my tyre pressures at...

I finally decided to part with my 2009 Honda Accord Euro Luxury. It was such a beautiful car to own over the past 5 years, purchased ex-lease and maintained myself. Many of you will know that I have...

You can tap into the reverse light for 12v power.

Agree it could have been a combination of the other things done. Checked the gap on the old sparks and they were all fine. Ie. 1.1mm

btw Nulon also have the blue version of the coolant.

It doesn't mention warranty, but it does say guarantee. Under the specifications tab is where it shows Honda compatibility.
I won't...

Welcome to OzHonda Rod!

I don't have much experience with the '85 Accord, but i remember my uncle having one when i was a kid 30 or so years ago and the engine was super smooth, especially at idle...

Apologies, I was meant to post this in the Accord Euro section..

Just done my major service 2 weeks ago.

Changed the following:
- OEM NGK iridium sparks
- OEM transmission oil
- Engine oil (Valvoline 10w-30)
- OEM oil filter
- Nulon One Coolant
- Air...

Also, i connected the obd2 scanner on the car when i drove to healesville sanctuary. Coolant temp ranged from 60 to 85. A good sign.

I am using the Nulon One (yellow coolant) which is compatible for Honda. Comes with 10 year and 1,000,000kms warranty. Yep, 1,000,000!

From what i remember the undertray is held by a bunch of plastic clips.
They are pretty cheap on ebay. I bought a batch of 100 for a few dollars delivered just to keep as spare as some always break...

i recently changed a brake light switch in a CL9 that had its VSA light on intermittently.
Maybe check if your brake lights are working properly. If not, the brake light switch is easy to replace...

Just noticed there is a new Accord for sale.
Looks like a face-lift rather than a full new model.

What do you guys think?
I haven't seen it in person, however from the pictures, the big chrome...

I think the new civic looks good!

Ah yes, that would be a good idea. Just don't screw them down too tight otherwise the rubber will squash down and might have a ripple effect.
By the way, I have seen these on AliExpress for much...

Haha, I definately don't miss having cars with a german soul that's for sure and needing a VAGCOM to diagnose all the issues.
I actually had to buy one because I used it so much for both the Audi...

I have never used them myself, however I think if it's just held on by 3M double sided tape it might just come off over time. Especially after a season of winter rain.
Also, if you scrape it, it...

Just an update. 3 years on and I am still loving my CU2 Euro Lux.
Drives like a dream and everything just works!! (I think Honda actually had an ad for the CL9 that said that.. "when things just...

Great info. Thanks Kodak

Thanks guys, will flush out the brake fluid and bleed as well.

When replacing brake pads, do i need to open the brake fluid reservoir to ensure it doesn't overflow when compressing the calipers, or open the brake lines to drain the fluid (the bleed) rather than...

Just did both our CL9 and CU2. Took around 2.5 hours each.
For the CU2, they also did a recall fix for the front windscreen side cover clips that i previously didn't know about.

You can use the...

sorry for reviving an old tread,but i'm looking to buy a used civic for a family member and came across this US bulletin....
