Honda General Discussions

Hi did start a DPF thread on the Accord forum but guessing it probably applies to more than one vehicle in their range. But as I did not get a reply tried to hunt around the net but came up blank so put a complaint into Honda. Did get too escalations but not much joy help wise but thought I would share their reply and my take on it. Probably do this in two parts. first up an overview then tomorrow will try and clarify how the first stage DPF regen works as that really threw me. forgive me if I mess up with any images. Honda’s position on their diesel cars is:- “Please be advised that the Diesel Particulate Filter is an exhaust component which…

Hello all, I've got to change my rear trailing arm bushes again. I've ordered some that have arrived but they look different to the ones I purchased a couple years ago. The website states that they are for a mk1 crv but I don't understand why they have a different shape?

I did notice when I first bought the car, however my Wife noticed some scratchey sound on the hi notes, I noticed it also. This was when tuned to Sirus xm. So I tried it on FM and noticed the same issue. Anybody help ?

I have a 16 registration Honda Jazz (automatic) but have done only 28,000 miles in it. (I got it less than a year ago with 19,000 miles on the clock from the dealership it had been bought from and serviced by). It now has just 28,000 miles on the clock but today I found that it needed new brake pads and discs on both front and rear brakes and had to pay £691 for this. (Same dealership). I was informed by the dealership / service centre that the 'new' '16 plates Hondas had different brake components and maybe they wear out more quickly. I think that to have to pay loads of money every 3 years (at 10,000 miles a year) is unacceptable. Is this normal or am I just unlu…

Please watch out for a factory defect of the 1.6 I-DTEC 120 HP and 160 HP cylinder head. The manufacturer, despite the knowledge of this defect in 2018, has not done anything since then to call the car for service and check if this defect applies to your car. Only when the user on the website says that the engine is too loud, they will take care of it. Of course, if the car is still under warranty. In the attachment, the beginning of the service bulletin, which lists which cars may be related to this defect. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i49ZwXWoLulv85-xO4-68sCM3p3A75K2/view?usp=drivesdk

I have a 2019 Civic 1.0 turbo and the ACC cruise control system keeps stopping working. I get quite a few orange warning lights about cruise control, lane divergence etc. I also am getting a flat spot when depressing the accelerator pedal. This occurs when trying to pull away from a crawling speed at lights, roundabouts etc. Anyone else had similar problems, please?

I've just bought some 5th gen prelude seats for my 1999 aerodeck which have the zebra print centre section. I want to get some fabric printed so i can do my door cards in the same print. Does anyone know the best way of going about getting a design or picture of the print or any idea how i could get hold of it? Thanks!

I've been thinking about this for quite a while now, can we drink from the exhausts of hydrogen cars?

Hi all. I want to get some replacement wiper blades. I bought some from Halford but when I went to fit them they look cheap compared to the original wipers. The original wipers have a replaceable blade in the actual wiper unit rather than replacing the complete wiper itself. Does anyone know where I can get these as I have looked online and can't seem to find them. It's an 08 Accord EX GT I-DTEC. Thanks

Hi,first post here after owning an FRV for 7 years. All of a sudden when trying to open the door with fob the locks click open and shut again within a second. If quick enough you can open the door if timed right but that's it and the rest of the car stays shut,even locking you in the car until forcing the little lock part towards door to get out. Any ideas what the problem is? It did stop for a day or two then came back again

Been looking into getting a new honda, maybe! and saw the crx del sol with the cool roof, reckon they should make more of them, though tbh the back looks messed.

Hi there everyone, I have owned a honda stepwagon 2010 rk5 for nearly a year now and its an amazing car. I am currently looking for a few bits for its next mot like discs n pads, tie rods and suspension arms or all the bushes. I heard that honda use the same parts already available for other models and I am hoping someon1e knows this information because buying the parts that are sold just stating stepwagons are ridiculously overpriced. Kind regards Christian

Since buying my Jazz in Feb I have had issues with my front windows making a clicking/rattling noise.The first was the drivers side which I took back to my local honda dealer who repaired it (which was in March).A few weeks ago I noticed the passenger side had the same problem.Having taken it back again to be fixed I was told that Honda head office has stopped repairing/fixing windows.They won't do it because their excuse is "It is the characteristics of the car".What a load of bull...t.Strangely enough when I took the car in on the first occasion there was another guy there who had booked in with the same problem!!! My views of honda have now gone down considerably if th…
