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.
Integra DC2 passenger side waterleaks, cracked sielastic, rust holes top of windsceen
Looked everwhere finally found the water leak into the passenger footwell or if camber is drivers side down the drivers side, looked like water drops coming from bottom of A pillar or from fresh air intake through heater fan, BUT no it was,
Rust holes between the roof and the top of the front window, under the cracked sielastic, hidden by the chrome cover molds. Just on LHS of centre, due to road camber holding water, (opposite side for LHD due to opposite camber)
I attach the cheap repair, including photo of rust and rust holes with cover mold and cracked si elastic removed and post repair.
The car is great now it doesent leak! Very satisfactory, easy job, remember to mask the paint and windscreen for a neat easy job.
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.
