Civic 2006 to 2011

Hatchback, Hybrid & Type-R

  1. Greetings all, My first post here, I've signed up as I need help locating the knock sensor on my I-CTDI 2.2 diesel 2009 civic. The Haynes manual only says that for ALL 8th gen models the sensor is behind the inlet manifold in plain sight. However it is not. And it's not anywhere nearby as far as I can see. What's more, I can find absolutely zero info/threads/videos about knock sensors on diesel civics, total zilch. Not one mention. Which leads me to the question - do they even have knock sensors?! But they must, as the car has been throwing up the error code for faulty knock sensor and the car…

    Hi all, I currently own a 2008 Civic 2.2 cdti. The rear suspension was a bit tired so I ordered a new pair of Monroe rear shock absorbers. When they arrived I noticed that they don’t have any dust covers. Will I be able to use the old OEM dust covers? Or is it not necessary to have them? Thanks in advance!!

    Hi, my Speedo on my 2011 Civic 2.3 cdti is playing up. It'll be fine then it will start flashing 888 or more commonly you can see 888 in the background but still see the actual speed as its brighter. A new speedo is in the region of £700 from Honda. My questions are:- anyone know if there's a way to try and fix it and if not there's lots of second hand ones listed on ebay. They all seem to a different E numbers. Will one from a early manufacture still work in mine? Thanks for your help. Mags

    Good afternoon all, I’ve recently been told my clutch actuator is “beyond repair” as the circuit is too damaged. Would anyone on here have a second-hand one or know where to purchase it? its for a 2006 Civic EX 1.8

    I have a '61 reg 1.8 Civic ES . I want to buy a space saver wheel to replace the repair kit , which is date-expired anyway . The car has 17" alloys fitted , and on the face of things I can find lots of space-saver wheels on Ebay etc . However , I have seen references to wheels not fitting cars with the larger backplates , and mine has these . How do I ascertain that a given wheel will fit over my large backplates ? What is the spec I need to look for ? Thanks hopefully ..........

    Hi everyone, would be grateful for some opinions. I have just purchased a 2009 1.8 manual Civic with around 90,000 miles on it and a mostly full service history. I have had similar aged mazda and fords in the past where I have had the starter motors fail at this age. I can not be left stranded out and about, so I have contacted Honda and asked them how long the starter motors were designed or expected to last. They were unable to answer (even their head office in Japan). Does anyone have any anecdotal experience? Obviously, there is a huge amount of variables and no guarantees. But how long do these tend to last? Do they start failing after i.e. 15…

    I have a 2015 Civic. Using the Source button on the steering wheel I scroll through the audio options. When I reach the DAB option the audio continues with the previous option, medium wave. All other options work normally. Trouble is the DAB option is the one I use most. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi all, I Recently had the car in for a diagnostic check and the garage confirmed the engine was getting up to temp (78c)? but the heater in this car is useless! I have it on max constantly and in this weather the car is never warm inside even after 40+ minutes of driving. The air that comes out of the vents is tepid at best. I am having to wear my coat, hat and gloves all the time while driving this car! 😨 I know diesels do take a while to warm up but surely this is not right? I did ask the garage to investigate it but they were a bit dismissive and just said the car is getting up to temp and the heater works... The car is a 2007 Civic 2.2ctdi.…

    Hi all! Recently purchased an 08 1.8 ivtec 5door hatch UK spec and have an issue with the right drivers side window run channel. It has a small nick in it which causes the window to jam. But the biggest issue with this is... Honda have discontinued the part and it seems no where sells it!!! Does anyone has a source for this part? i believe the part number to be 72235-SMG-E01 (but you can correct me on that) Any help from any other owners would be huuugely appreciated! Thanks guys
