Honda General Discussions

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, I have a 2005 2.2 i-ctdi saloon. Love it to bits, but..... Now and again, when I accelerate fairly hard in 2nd or 3rd, the engine will die momentarily and then pick up speed as normal. Not the end of the world I know, but quite disconcerting when you are in mid-overtaking mode. I have also experienced this at it's extreme causing the car to go into limp-mode very occasionally until the vehicle is left switched off for a while. Anyone got any ideas as to what the cause might be? Appreciate any help on this :)

Car was excellent in every way until I left it at the airport for a week while I was away. Battery was flat(2.84v). My local dealer took it in and gave it the latest software update. While it has not gone flat yet, if it is left for a day or two the battery voltage drops to 12.22v to 12.11v each time having been on 12.60v to 12.70 v. Never had this before on any of my previous 6 Hondas. The dealer said that the latest update should cure the problem. I'm not so sure.Anyone help here.

The paint on my Jazz has just started peeling off for no reason. Has anyone else had this problem and did Honda help????

Should I use the Cig or USB outlet to charge my 2017 Nokia TA-1024 phone? Not sure if 12V is too much. Thanks.

Just checked my 2008 mK3 CRV on the Government Website to find out if it is Dreaded ULEZ Compliant, Thankfully it is, Its worth checking Folks because even if you do not go to London, They have proposed that it is going to be rolled out across other Counties and Cities in the near future, another Money Spinner from the Motorist, 🤑 Worth checking out now just put your Reg Number in to find out if yours is compliant.

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 Workshop manual states 'Honda ATF Z1' which I think is now out of date.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?

hey folks has anyone in the uk swapped the radio cd nav unit in a crv 2006ex looking for the easiest option for strait swap over just a bit more up to date,any advise appreciated thanks

The long awaited 9th generation Honda Civic is so close to cruising along the european roads that you can almost feel the earth move as bugs and rodents alike make way for its coming. It is a very big deal. Over 20-million Civics have been sold world wide making it a big bringer of finances, and because of the hugely reliable, rev happy editions in the past, the model has built up quite a fan base. Initial figures suggest however that there are still some issues in need of a good iron. There will be 3-engines available, a 1.4 and 1.8-litre petrol engines followed up by a 2.2 i-DTEC diesel engine. The world is hoping that there will be an influx of exciting sport models s…

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a classic Prelude and wanted to know which the best ones are. My dad had a 92 Accord which I loved and I been looking at a 2000 Prelude. I remember Rover having an influence in later 90s cars and wanted to avoid those, but did this extend to the prelude? Also are there any to avoid? I've seen 4 stud and 5 stud hubs and wondered why there were 2 types produced. If anyone can help it would be appreciated!

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.I have had my 2020 Jazz for 2 months.I have had this same issue happen approx 10 times & wondered if anyone could advise please.When I have been driving with cruise control on for some unknown reason the cruise control seems to stop working & whatever I seem to press it won’t activate again until I come to a complete stop either behind traffic,roundabout or traffic lights.When I press the cruise control button the symbol is lit up in white but another symbol appears to the right of it saying “cruise control off”.Every time I press the cruise control button this comes up until I brake & stop completely.I have been on the motorway for 40 odd miles before bein…

Hey all. I drive a Honda Civic 2017 edition. For some reason I'm not sure what's happened to my sensors, but on the dashboard, instead of the usual info that should be displayed, all I get is a sign that says ACC and a car sign out of lane....this has been driving me crazy. Any ideas anyone as to why and what I can do to get rid! My car has not been in any kind of bump either. Thanks, Shelley

So what do you think of the new NSX? http://www.honda.co.uk/cars/new/nsx-2017/overview.html

Hi - dipping toes in here - new UK owner of 1998 Stepwagon (import) with LPG, 125k miles. So now beginning to learn Honda lore - for example, suspension - mine is full of clonks and the handling is soggy. AFAIK mk1 Stepwagon is related to CR-V and Civic of that era, so I wonder if it's therefore also related to Rover 400. Shopping for suspension parts e.g. on ebay, what models to search for and shd I check out Rover as well? With Honda, is it usual to get new wishbones, links etc, or fit new bushes to existing, and does that require presses or separators? Questions like that - all tips gratefully received.

Trying to update the maps on 2017 CRV satnav having usb in car and uploading when usb is in laptop there are no files listed. How should the usb be formatted. Will be grateful if anyone can help. Thanks

Hi guys I am a honda type r ower and the VSA sign has come up on my car. Been to a few garages but cant find anyone that can sort it. Any recommendations?

Took my Honda CRV 2007 in for its MOT it failed they did work on it went to pick it up now the low beams are not working and the radio CD player is not working any thoughts as to what they may have done that's caused this to happen as can not believe it's just a coincidence.

I think it's time to replace the battery on my 2006 FR-V (petrol). Looking around I can see various batteries priced from £35-£150, and it looks like different retailers use different codes for the same thing as well. For example there's Powerline 048 which costs less than £40, Yuasa YBX5053 / HSB053 which is around double that or something like Lion 158 Car Battery which falls somewhere in between. As far as I can tell all these batteries would be compatible so are there any advantages of getting the more expensive batteries vs the cheaper brands?

i have a 2003 stream 2.0ltr auto with a broken nearside driveshaft (left side sitting in the drivers seat) i cannot get a replacement without paying £700 inc vt from a Honda Main Stealer My usual suppliers (Eurocarparts) list it at £98 plus vat but have no stock. Nor has their supplier. Has anyone got one? know anyone who has? Is there a driveshaft from another Honda i can use? Help!

Hi, wonder if anyone has successfully installed an isofix car seat on the rear central isofix points and still been able to use the passenger side seatbelt?! I've installed the seat no problem but now the seatbelt plug is impossible to reach, despite the seat being listed as compatible with this position. Thanks!

I hope this post is allowed here. Just wondering if anyone else is missing the H-Tune forums (which formerly had several different names). There was a wealth of technical information posted on there especially for some of the more rare models and I haven't found any other site that has quite the same level of engagement, community or information. Any ideas if it is likely to make a comeback or any other sites with similar levels of technical information on the less common models? Thanks!

zip bust on spare wheel cover anyone know how to repair or where to take to

Hi all for the past week I've noticed the smell of exhaust gases coming through my air vents whilst the car isn't moving. just wondering if anyone has had this problem before? maybe a leaking manifold? Cheers. It's a 58 plate diesel accord

Hi , has anyone experienced this. Whilst driving the car will seem to lose power and the engine management light cones on .this lasts a few seconds before all going back to normal . Also this is not a everyday occurrence, perhaps once a fortnight, The car is used daily.
