Help! DC5S loss of power at above 6rpm

[tpphan]

Would they be able to extend my warrenty if its a couple of days late (last friday 19th september)?

And would it be covered? (if it was not put in properly by the honda in sydeny)?

You can't extend your warranty if it has already expired. Give it a ago anyway, they might do it out of good will.

If the workshop installed it wrong then it should be covered by them. If you have issues with them, discuss it will the service manager. If that doesn't help talk to Honda Customer Relations.

I would doubt they installed it wrong, it ain't that diffcult.

Any ideas of what the hissin noise is???????????/

are u sure 100% that u cant extend warranty even if its like only 4 days expired??????? do they have to do a test on the car first or something? that will be easy to pass, just put in a full tank of FUEL, then my car will be okay. Then when the tank goes to 1/4 the problem comes again, i bring it to honda, then they fix it under warrenty

you sound pretty worried about it, so maybe you should extend the warranty (if you can) and get some peace of mind?

PS i'm no mechanic so I can't say if it's a problem or not.

yeah i am heeeps worried =(((( All my blood sweet and tears have gone into getting a car i really like, and when u get problems, it just breaks ur heart. =(

Maybe i will get it. I phoned today, and the lady said if i get in really quick like within the next couple of days she can back date my warrenty, and get me extended warrenty. I dun need to pay a fee to test the car or anything like that, just show her my up to date service records, and she can get me the warrenty she said...

Well, if this fuel thing is going to cost me a couple of hundred anyways to get it looked at, then i might as well get the warrenty, and get it checked out for free under warrenty. What do u guys think???

Just a quick update on the problem guys. I poured in more petrol and the noise at the start hissing from from the tank is gone, and the car drives fine now. I have also successfully bought extended warreny for my car today. $895 for 40,000kms, or two years. I will wait a week or two, and wait till my petrol tank gets to around 1/4, and it starts to stutter, and jerk with the power delivery again, and then take it to honda for them to check it out for free under warrenty. I will let you guys know what THE HELL IT IS...

Thanks for all ur support through this........

Just to let everyone know that is interested. I'm dropping off my car tommorow, for honda to look at. i should know by tommorow after noon what the problem is. It still jerks, and stutters when i have around 1/4 tank of petrol left!

Just to let you know whats going on with my car. The problem was found to be the O-ring on the fuel filter/fuel pump was not put together properly. Also the hose to the fuel pump to the car was half on, causing the clip holding it in place to damage.

It was because when "Hornsby" honda did the last service, they did not fit the fuel filter/pump on properly. I had to pay for 2 hours labour aprox. $250. I filed a complaint into honda, to ask for my money back, from the place where they did the 80,000km seevice, because they are liable. It was due to Error technician, by Hornsby Honda.

Belconan honda in canberra just fixed the problem.

I'm waiting for the reply from honda costomer costomer relations. Car is all good now.

i knew it was a leak, and that the presure was playing up. I was right all along. Thanks for ur help guys.

This is part of the reason I NEVER take my car to a Honda dealer mechanic.
1) They are GROSSLY over priced (I was charged $1000 to fit a clutch to my DC5R... i was supplying the clutch and flywheel)
2) They have trainee mechanics who don't have attention to detail or don't know what they are doing... they can work on someones Accord Euro before working on my car.

Good to hear you got the problem sorted and it wasnt anything serious.
