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...

Isn't the Aux in the centre console?

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...

Depends upon what your issues are? Shudder? Worn pads? Brake Squeal? I suggest your local mechanic ......not a chain store like brakes plus.

Some damn fine work going into all this,....well done indeed!

One thing I'm not too happy about.

The reason I say Alternator is that the noise appeared to be coming more from that front area.

You can use the screwdriver trick...place a long screwdrive blade against the offending or culprit...

Hi Antony

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...

Sounds like Belt tensioner or alternator bearing noise. Take the belt off and rotate each by hand, you'll know from this.

The reason the noise changes in gear is that this loads down or puts more...

Honda have 2014 build plated M14s on run out drive away atm, $23990. Obviously selling due to MY15 spec cars arriving but not a bad price.

Picking one up next week, previously had a 2008 8th Gen...

Ok the outcome

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...

Thanks Freed

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.

many thanks gents...yes thought it was trade stuff not seen much on shelves. So far engine much smoother and quieter.

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.

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...
