usually battery or alternator, unless you have some wiring problems. but that is less likely than the first 2 options (which are also really easy to test for). Also dont get fooled into thinking the...
Euros are a great car.
Ive had hot hatches before and you arent left feeling like you are in a boat in comparison.
Also so much more room and convenience in a euro vs civic hatch.
ah ok, sweet!.
i did see someone note that at some point honda did upgrade the MC they used as the replacement and that this might indeed solve this issue. was it you saying this or perhaps can you...
it might just be the belt that needs replacing. if it is the original then this is most likely.
Put the fresh belt (easy enough to do yourself) on and see if the noise has gone away. if not then do...
yeah carbon build up increases the compression ratio as well as making the combustion equation not as balanced- hence leading to knock. though if you have been using 98 then that could be ruled out...
sounds like it could actually be a genuine knock event then. have you considered-
fuel quality in your area? (you are already using 95 octane+?)
excessive carbon build up in the motor?
nice. good smooth driving man.
is that on stock suspension? what tyres were you using?
also how many km on the car and what rpm were you typically revving to?
yep, needs the constant lubing on the actuator rod if you want to keep the squeaks away. Rod might even need rotating if it has become worn and scored on one side.
nope alas there isnt.
it is a poorly designed clutch system basically. Usually the creak is coming from the master cylinder actuator rod, but often also the clutch pedal pivot mechanism (they arent...
ok cool i will check out the Cerma product. as there are some products that can do a good job. i.e. there are some really good friction modifiers out there that can really do a great job in their...
This is a common fallacy that still pops up alot.
Not having a thermostat is bad for a non-race car as well as unnecessary in the first place.
-modern thermostats seize open, not shut- so...
water pump is one of those jobs that is easy for a mechanic with the right tools and hard for us DIY mechanics doing it for ourselves the first time...
yeah me neither. as another poster noted, the same situation (over revving) could be induced by doing say 80kmh using cruise in 5th, and then slowing down and being in 2nd and pressing cruise resume....
i know i know... its just a long slow gentle hill (50-60kmh) that doesnt require either brakes nor accelerator for ages and the cruise control isnt smooth in that on/off throttle position that it...
mine has a similar sound when started from cold but then goes away mostly when it warms up. Seems normal and has been like it since i got is (03 euro with 165k). Nonetheless, hard to say if it is the...
