Honda stream 2003 1.7 auto petrol thermostat required
Trevor replied to JDale's topic in Honda Stream Club
You could try fitting a Kenlowe (or similar) electric fan suitable to fit all vehicles https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/revotec-slimline-cooling-fans-538077/ -

Cleaning by whichever method is the best way forward and then reset the system sensors to learn the revised flow through the DPF Have you got a garage out there that will clean it (or if it is not a strict regulation out there such as the UK MOT tests, then can you get it cut out and remapped to show its still there? p.s. do you attend Le Mans 24 hours by any chance?

Oh dear that sounds like an absolute nightmare! I know that feeling of 'wished i had never started the job' and it is best sometimes to walk away from it for a while and go back with fresh enthusiasm. As you say you can't find the clip then I wonder if it has actually come out and is on the floor or tucked behind a seal or gearbox casting on the outer area of the box? Primarily if sounds like the shafts didn't fully engage in the first place and quite often need a good thump on the inner driveshaft joint to full go home. When fully home, they shouldn't be able to pull out of the box easily (usually require a prybar or suchlike). I am also thinking, are the shafts exactly the same size and amount of splines as the old ones? If you are struggling you can always use the inners from the old shafts with new gaiters and shaft

Its probably the friction lining material that is squeaking but I wouldn't be spraying WD40 on it though
-
well at least you stuck with a CRV which is the main thing

Hi.....welcome to the Club The Accord is a great car and you shouldn't have many issues with it Post up some piccys once the mods are done if you want
-
the CRV (diesel engine - not sure about petrol engine) uses a Dual Mass Flywheel and self adjusting clutch Either you DMF is worn and this is take up in the slack you are experiencing but this would normally be on takeoff in 1st gear The most likely cause is the self adjusting clutch mechanism which gets weak over time (adjusts by sliding up wedges) and can over adjust leading to slippage. It mainly happens when too much power is put onto the transmission when the vehicle is at lower road speeds. Leave changing gear to higher RPM then this usually solves the issue
-
I wonder if it is an 'average' fuel consumption meter and has settled down after a mixed driving style if you reset it then it may go back to the actual consumption figure Alternatively, a service may be due and the engine oil quality can contribute to a decrease in economy if the cylinder compressions are reduced with the oil not sealing the rings/bore as efficiently

Here is a selection of thermostats available on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=thermostat&_sacat=0&_from=R40&selcontext=productType%3ACAR_AND_TRUCK&selvel=Variant%3APetrol%2BMPV%2CCar+Make%3AHonda%2CCars+Type%3A1.7%2B16V%2CPlat_Gen%3ARN%2CCars+Year%3A2003%2CBodyStyle%3AFWD%2B--%2BRN%2CModel%3AStream%2CEngine%3A1668cc%2B92KW%2B125HP%2BD17A2%3BD17A5 -
its usually written in the service book, audio handbook or a separate card in the vehicle wallet If not then the dealer should be able to look up the number (probably for a small charge)

Exhaust replacement parts longevity - centre silencer leak
Trevor replied to ec5780's topic in Honda FR-V Club
I'm sure if there is corrosion around the area as long as it hasn't gone too deep then possibly it could be taken apart, cleaned up and a new gasket with sealant fitted -

Unfortunately, aftermarket parts don't always last the distance like original parts. Can it be welded as this may be sufficient to keep it going as long as there are no leaks -
Fine looking machine! How did it get on with the MOT test?
-
That looks aweful, what ever possessed them to cut it that badly. At the very least I would be tempted to tidy it up with a hacksaw so it doesn't look that bad or maybe put some trim over the edges (I think Halfords sell some door trim that may work)
-
I would strip the pads out and copperslip the contact points in the caliper carrier bracket then refit to see if that makes a difference
-
not sure of the differences but worth asking Honda parts department who could give you the relevant part numbers
-
Have you fitted any aftermarket electrical equipment (dashcam, satnav, stereo) as this may have affected the power supply?
-
Not sure, but sounds like it needs reprogramming to learn the shift positions. A Honda dealership should be able to perform this operation Sometimes (on other vehicle makes) it can be done manually by resetting the system and driving it to learn the shift patterns but I think it may be best to take to Honda on this occassion
-
Agree with Scoobs and also the market dictates that it is audible for security and insurance reasons. My Alfa Romeo Mito was not switchable to silent arm/disarm but if you set the region to the Netherlands it would be possible to switch off.
-
possibly temperature control not working properly, but would require diagnosis to eliminate this as an issue. I would first check the cabin filter is not completely clogged up and not allowing air to flow through - a cheap and easy fix if this was the case
-
There are a few E:NY1 members in the forum now, so hopefully one of them might know the answer
-
Yes, very sad indeed that some of these stores are no longer around
