More software bugs...car radio/reverse camera is occasionally stuck with reverse camera image when driving....makes you feel sick driving when this happens. Have to turn off car and re-start. The...
2014 FB civic. Reversed it from garage...wash it....drove it into the garage. Hrs later, cranks no start! Hrs later same thing again, figured possible flooding (due to quite a few start...
I had the wide-body version...pretty much the same engine. The timing chain does not normally need replacement unless some sensor is giving indications it is stretched beyond limits. That...
Yep, well done. PDIP across the regulator @3A will be 14.8V - 9V = 5.8V x 3A ~ 17.5Watts. So, well within the TO3 specs. Even better if you use a Schottky for reverse protection as this will drop...
Hi Mike...don't know of many TO3 package 3 terminal regulators that can handle 5A. I think most are rated to 3A but this is not continuous...or is with good active cooling! Yes you should be good...
The civic Hand Free Telephone (HFT) system on this civic is well and truly hobbled compared to what it could be....deliberately so, just read the manual and...
The civic cabin NVH was way way lower than the corolla. Also the Corolla SX was listed as $29600'ish dirve away byt the dealer. yes should be $28753, so they were gouging. So I...
Went to Honda and Toyota looking to downsize to a new car. Honda have Civic Vti-S for $23,990 drive away (Ringwood). Couldn't refuse...much better than Toyota, so changeover is...
yep it's VTC rattle all right. Worse on colder mornings some mornings its ok. Just put in some new HPR5 but I think its time to go for this one. CBF'd trying Honda for repair.
Well as the title says...VTC noise at cold start on colder mornings, only for a few seconds. Looking over the webz ...this appears to be an issue especially in colder climates but is starting to...
I just replaced both my key batteries with new CR1616 Lithium.
Vehicle is 2010 yet the spare unused key battery failed. It still measured 3.0V which, is plenty, but no workie. I hooked up a...
Anyone used Lubrimaxx synthetic oil 5-30 in their accord? Comes in 6L not all that cheap but appears to make engine (2.4L K24Z2, 8th Gen wide body) run nice'n smooth and a little quieter.
Ummm isn't that Magnafine put in backwards? I think the flow direction is towards the cabin firewall? Quote from fredoops ..."Arrow points towards the cabin".
Repair from mechanics...close to $1K (around $900'ish). Remember the mark-up along the food chain from the repair places to the installer. I suppose that's ok since you get back your OEM parts...
Yep mine were CV's both sides. They were re-built and re-fitted (not by me), auto mechanics and CV place. Quite difficult to find replacement Honda CVs except maybe Chinese or USA sourced, so they...
