    Ageing DC Integra's. The age related problems thread

    Hey all,

    After around 10 years of Honda ownership I have been more than happy with the service the Integra has provided me with. I thought I would start a thread dedicated to the fact that DC Integra's are approaching 20 years old and therefore many high km related problems are now starting to surface.

    What have you guys found as the major problems as the years go by?

    I'll start first with oil leaks, this is the main problem in my DC4. Any idea where the main spots for oil leaks are in DC's? I will aim to change the cam cover seals shortly but are there any other main seals I can change?

    Other age related problems I have found are worn shock absorbers and a bit of paint fade which is pretty standard. Other than that it has aged really well.

    I think they age well. Sunroofs don't usually rust out or leak like a lot of other cars their age.

    I had a gsi and vtir. Both had squeaky suspension and the annoying window rattle when the windows are down.

    Other than that, they're great! Reliable and still look great.

    Where does the leak in the passenger side originate?

    I have found on many Hondas and most other aged cars mostly is the leak at the Sump. Make sure you inspect the oil sump gasket to see if theres any oil seeping thru and leaking.

    - Tail gate leaks as said
    - Water leaking thru from the Antenna
    - Windows going off the track
    - Windows going up extremely slow sometimes not even up all the way

    But these are the main problems I have in my Integra and other hondas I've owned.

    Good call. I'm pretty sure mine is leaking from the sump. Where can I buy a new Honda gaskets and seals?

    The electric aerial is hopeless, replaced it once with a new one, failed about a year later.

    My Brake master cylinder and clutch cylinder failed at around 200,000 kms and had to be replaced.

    think its from the fresh air vent, how its designed water can leak in. But not 100%
