Honda General Discussions

Hi I hope this topic hasn't been posted recently as I couldn't see a search for recent topic. I'm looking for a good manual for repairs preferably a cd manual with good screen shots and step by step guides for jobs to de done on my Honda for when the time comes. The Honda model I have is a diesel 2014 I DTEC Honda Civic 1.6L. I've just bought it from an approved dealer but may want to do some jobs whatever I feel brave enough to do later. All information on the best repair guides appreciated. I couldn't see anything on the Honda website unfortunately. Thanks.

New CR-V Hybrid delivered in August 2019 with many faults. The main fault is that although the Climate Control functions are recognized by the voice control function, none are not executed. I gather that Honda Europe have been aware of this for a while, but 'forgot' to mention this to prospective purchasers. As I understand it Honda Japan are working on a 'fix' but no one at Honda has been able to give me a date. Additionally, the Audio and temperature controls continually autonomously change their settings. To day the screen said the audio function was not available while the vehicle was in motion! Poor customer relations Honda! I expect a gen…

Missus has lost her key. Had locksmith come out and said the barrel has been changed and cant do it!!! If i change ignition barrel would be a str8 forward thing? No immob problems. No c/ l problems.

I'm sure there's a thread re. this somewhere but I can't find it! I've got a Next Base 402G but I'm concerned re. best route down the A pillar - from memory there's an Air Bag warning on the trim at the top. So is it safe to simply tuck the cable in down the 'screen edge? If not, then where? Thanks in advance.

OK I'll changing the ATF and PAS fluid in my (20 year old) Legend soon. Workshop manual states 'Honda ATF Z1' which I think is now out of date. Was thinking I'd use a synthetic alternative to Honda fluid simply because it's cheaper. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have a 2017 HONDA HR-V BLACK EDITION I-DTEC 120 (1.6cc) & have ongoing issues with the idle stop and wondering if this is a common problem? Over the past 2 years it’s been in the Garage at least 6 times for the same issue or issues relating to the idle stop and is booked back into garage agin tomorrow. The idle stop works for so long (anything from a few days to max 6 months) and then randomly stops working with a dash warning showing low battery charge. It was last in the garage 2 weeks ago when they again charged the battery overnight, fault again seemed to be rectified but 10 days & 300 miles later the same issue. On some occasions the fault appears to rec…

Good evening fellow Hondeers. I am currently broken hearted at the discovery of a circular scratch on the front passenger door after only 2 weeks of owning my beautiful CR-V. I was recommended Meguairs Scratch X 2.0 at my local Halfords as I can't feel the scratch with my fingernail. I'm afraid of permanently damaging the paintwork though. Does anyone have any experience of using this? It cost a tenner but I'll bin it if I have to. A local body shop said I'd be looking at about £120 which I think is a bit steep! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cat Burglar nicked my Cat. Neighbours had CCTV of the theft. It happened at 11:30 am, took 40 seconds. Trolley jack and a pipe cutter of some sort. They cut the wires to the lambda sensors and cut through the exaust pipes in front and behind the Cat. The rear cut was through the mid section exhaust pipe so that also needs replacing. OK I have questions that I need help with. Honda wanted over 2K for the parts, (Cat, 2 lambda sensors, mid section of exhaust pipe, and fitting kit.) OEM parts at that price are not an option so I went to the internet. My first problem/question was /is identifying my cars details . Some sites asked for the reg number so that…

I have a Honda Jazz 2003. The keys are not remote but maybe are worn so much that it will not start the car when inserted in the ignition. The key will open the doors though. How can I overcome the problem, do I have to buy a new ignition steering lock?

Hi everyone. I have just joined the forum to see if I am just unlucky! I have a Jazz Sport that is only 10 months old. So far.... , the stop start system has failed and has to be reset by the dealer. a brand new clutch fitted as the one out of the factory was slipping badly as it was covered in grease, now the infotainment system has completely failed and I am waiting a new one. my dealer is very embarrassed by these faults and I am losing faith in the car. anyone else had such issues? Should I just cut my losses and sell up? Did not think Friday cars were possible these days!! thanks for any advice …

Hi again,can a leaking exhaust manifold for too long,cause problems with the turbo? I bought my diesel unaware of this issue but need it sorting,stinks!

Hi guys,how long does it take to change one,or,better still,can they be successfully welded?

Can anyone help my daughter. She has a 2002 Honda Stream 2.0 SE Sport. She needs parts for her exhaust. Has anyone got a diagram of the exhaust system so we can work out which bit to get. Seems to be broken behind silencer in front of rear axle. Thanks

Do all civic and FIT hatches leak??? Every single one I’ve owned has leaked. It is not always the seal, it is structural. Has anyone else had this experience? There is one UTube structural repair instructional video. Suzie

Turns out the Stream is a rare beast. I hit a deer and the grille shattered. There are very few on the market and they are £500+ from a franchised dealer. Does anyone have a grille in their shed or at the back of their garage they want to flog? Its a 2004 model.

Hiya, I've had this Honda Civic for 4 years and it's been a great car up until now. It has oil in the coolant, shown a mechanic and been told the headgasket is no good as the vehicle overheats. I mean the car only has 38k miles with a full service history. It's not even 6 years old yet and such a massive engine fault. What procedure do you think I can take as I don't have 1000's of pound to spend on a new engine. I'm hoping Honda could do it under goodswill. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi folks, recently picked up a wee honda logo with an idle bounce at running temp. Wana replace the intace air control valve but having problems sourcing 1. Any ideas or links would be appreciated.

Hi all, I have a 2011 crv ex ivtec and for some unknown reason the factory hid headlights have started aiming high. I've owned the car for 2 years and never had the problem before. There is no manual adjustment inside the car nor is there under the bonnet. Can anyone tell me what might have caused this and how I'd go about fixing it please? Many thanks Jay.

I have got a Honda V-Tec engine, Very little miles. This is a complete Engine ready to fit. How do I go about selling this Engine, Not sure if Im allowed to put adds on this site.

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 there I own an 2009 crv 2.2 diesel. And for a split second when accelerating she splutters/looses power. Any advice that anyone can pass on or had similar problems like this before? Doesn't happen all the time only in 2nd gear under hard acceleration Thanks Tom

Hi all - just wanted to find out if anyone else has experienced their battery draining on the Honda CR-V (2018 model)? Ours is only 7 months old and the battery has died completely twice within 10 days. I drive the car every day (maybe a half hour in the am and a half hour in the pm). Breakdown services and the Honda dealer can’t seem to explain why the battery is draining. We never had this issue with our previous model. I’d really appreciate hearing back from anyone who has had a similar issue and how you fixed it. Thanks in advance.
