VSA, Traction Control and ABS relies on individual wheel speed information to work. It is inherent in the design of the system, the computer constantly measures speed differential between all 4...
Mine came to about $240 from the Honda dealer for an Accord V6 (same key fob as Euro), including cutting and programming. I did not need to give them the key serial as they copied the original key I...
Honda Canada was selling the HFP suspension kit for the Accord V6 for CD$420, plus sea freight (3 months to arrive) it came up to just under AU$1K. At...
I have an 04 V6, and yes, the suspension in OEM form is very soft in both damping and spring rate. I upgraded to a 20mm Whiteline rear bar which gave the car a more neutral turn-in into corners. I...
6.1 L / 100km is outstanding for suburban driving! If you get that sort of mileage driving around the city, you will get close to 1000km per full tank. Even a diesel Golf will struggle to beat that....
Silly question, but what fuel do you normally used? The Euro is specced for premium (95 octane and above). I know of people who put in the normal 91 octane and actually suffer from poor fuel economy,...
Not sure if you noticed, but on a steep slope with your foot on the brake, and you apply the handbrake firmly and then release the foot brake, the car "settles" in the direction downward of the slope...
Yes, I always use P on the slopes, but what I do before going into P, is put into N, pull the handbrake till the car holds on the slope, and then put into P. This way, it minimizes the strain on the...
This is interesting, as on a steepish slope today, I had to pull my lever up to 9-10 clicks before the car will hold while in N. I have adjusted the hand brake cable in the past so that the...
Southside Honda basically read the OBD2 codes stored on the ECU, and learn it was the accelerator pedal position correlation error. It happens when both potentiometers are not in agreement with each...
You mentioned your socket fits on the bolt fine, but you feel it slipping. My advise is that you need to go get better sockets, the cheap ones tends to yield when you try and crack a stubborn bolt. A...
Have you checked the engine mounts? Especially the front and rear ones as these dampen the rocking of the engine against torque. Broken mounts will cause the engine to rock back and forth when you...
That's perfectly normal. The airbag computer does a self-diagnostic when you have the key on ON, and both airbag light will illuminate while the test is occurring. If everything is normal, they will...
Some of the recommended work items during a service includes tyre rotation, but I don't recall a wheel alignment being part of any minor/major service. A lot of the Honda service centers will bring...
Wheel alignment is probably the largest contributor to tyre wear. Have a competent tyre service place do a complete wheel alignment (4 wheel) on your Euro. Has this been done anytime recently during...
If their pumps are miscalibrated to say 5% inaccuracy, it means they actually charge consumers for 105 liters for every real 100 liters sold. That's a profit of ($1.20 x 5) just from inaccurate...
I have a Scangauge II (fuel consumption meter) running off the OBD2 port of my Accord. The fuel usage is calculated from the ECU injector pulsing, which makes it highly accurate and is widely used by...
bbk is right about the EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution) in the late model Accords. This has been extensively discussed over in the DriveAccord.net forums. Basically, Honda designed the EBD...
The Euro uses a different set of front pads to the Accord, as the Euro has larger discs (300mm) vs the Accord's (282mm). I got a quote from Repco for front pads, they were $80 if I recall correctly...
The left disc appears to have a "wavy" surface, based on the pattern left behind by the pad deposits. Would appear that the disc had previously been severely warped and the machining did not remove...
Some tyres due to thread design is more susceptible to scalloping on the Accords and Euros. The rears tend to scallop because of the negative camber. Tyres with large aggressive blocks on the edges...
I will add the following steps after you have the new shocks reattached. Lightly tighten the top and bottom mounting bolts, but do not torque them up. You will now need to preload the suspension with...
