Honda General Discussions

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…

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…

My civic appeared to have stalled. Would not restart. AA unable to start it. Any ideas?

Hey, I used to have a 53plate accord 2l i-vetch sport and it had a fab sound system as standard. Someone told me it was bose, however there were no branding tags to suggest that.. I now have a civic type s and its pants in comparison. Does anyone know what the audio equipment was used in the accord? I've tried to google but cant find anything concrete. I'd like to replicate as close as possible into the civic. Tia

My 2005 CRV has a near side (is that left or right??} leaking headlight washer, knowing what I'm like with anything DIY is it an easy job to do and any suggestion where to get one from please, like it to be a Honda part not some Chinese bit!!! Alan

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 Workshop manual states 'Honda ATF Z1' which I think is now out of date.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 don't have a clue they just came with the car but they look pretty sharp - 1999 Civic

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.

Hello everyone, It's a pleasure to be on board. I have a '99 Honda Ballade 150i Luxline automatic. For those unfamiliar with this model from the South African market, it's basically a Civic. My automatic gearbox recently started shifting late, and eventually shifting roughly, and I discovered that the shift solenoid is dead. Unlike the more common engine sizes, the 150i auto only has one shift solenoid on the transmission. It looks different from any of the civic/ballade solenoids I've seen for sale online (I assume these are for different engine sizes). I'm having a tough time finding a replacement and I think it would help to figure out the part …

Honda in the States have recalled 750.000 Honda vehicles including CRV's for having Air Bag Faults. A number of Honda Vehicle models are involved lets hope its just the American Imported Hondas involved, no mention of UK Cars being recalled, worth checking out BAZZER RN 1

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!

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

Anyone have any comments or things to watch out for?

Hi, We own a 2009 Honda Crv EX 2.2 diesel car for a year now. A couple of months back we've noticed the car battery went dead twice on us so we decided to invest in a new one. To our surprise 2 weeks later the new one went dead too! So we swapped the old battery (thankfully didn't get rid of it!) and charged up the new one (also double checking nothing had been left on inside the car). After 3 days when opening the car door, I strangely saw the sat Nav fascia was stuck half open (like it had a power surge) and low and behold, battery dead again. All becoming a bit like groundhog day now, so decided to get it booked in with the mechanics for the f…

Just had my 2.2 i de-tec Honda civic re- mapped to stage 2. OMG what a difference. My Civic now goes like a bat out of hell got to hold on tight. plus MPG is so much better when driving sensibly, getting around 55/58 MPG, and also its alot smoother and responsive. has any one else had a re-map done, and with what results. Re-map was carried out by Celtic Tuning in Newquay Cornwall.

Hello there I have a 2006 Honda FR-V Sport (2.0L petrol) with original Honda roof bars (but not the later roof rails). The manual doesn't specify the safe dynamic roof load limit for the vehicle unfortunately. Searches online coming up with wildly different figures in the range of 50Kg-75Kg-100Kg. Does anyone know where I can find this information as despite searching, im still none the wiser. Many thanks Duncan

Hi all I would really like to work out what can be done to the touch screen as in different screens like boost / constant MPG / Netflix / videos sent from phone / videos from internet. Have not too much idea of how to sort these issues out, I seem to keep going round in circles anyone out there good at explaining what can be done and how to do it ? I understand there are various “Hacks” that can be done to make viewing films on the screen etc but should this be tried or ?????? Thanks in advance nit that techno Darren

The installed Garmin sat nav has a totally inadequate guidance volume - only emitting from the drivers door speaker - on max volume setting 11 - srill hardly audible. Can anybody help please????😂

Afternoon, is it easy to replace the gear shift gator on a 2005 CRV, fingers crossed I don't need to remove all the dash etc!! Alan

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?
