Hi, I have a Honda Accord 2001 with a little over 80,000 miles. Is time due for timing belt replacement? I asked several Honda service centers in the area and each one of them gave me a different answer (and a vague one!). Some say it should be replaced at 70K miles. Some say replace it at 100K...

Has anyone bought or driven the Honda Fit? I have owned an accord and civic, but was considering the Fit as my next purchase because of the extra utility it might provide with the hatchback and folding seats. I would be interested in your opinion. Sid

I have about 14,000 miles on my 2005 Honda Civic EX that I purchased in September 2005. What is strange about this car is that sometimes when the tank is on empty I can pump about 12 gallons and other times I can pump around 15 gallons. I know the manual says the tank is 13.2 gallons but it's true...

I think my '93 Accord is cursed! Up until the start of this year, it had been rock solid with very few non-routine problems. But since the start of the year, it has experienced a handful of silly and/or annoying problems. They include: - Bent shock sleeve causing an annoying squeak over the...

1990 Honda Civic EX --- The castle nut on my lower ball joint won't move. The pin is removed and it just won't spin. I'm at the point of almost completely stripping the nut. Does anyone have a suggestion short of cutting it off? Thanks for your help.

I am having trouble with my '93 Accord not starting when it's cold. It will turn over fine and repeatedly 'catch' if the weather is mild enough. Once it finally gets going it will immediately restart with no problem. I have replaced the main relay, spark plugs, distributor rotor and cap, coolant...

I am seeing the 2008 Accord in concept version only. From what I read, the 2008 accord will have a slightly longer body and may have considerable hp improvement. I am reading 175-205 for the 4 cyl and 270-280 for the 6 cyl. Maybe more luxury?? I'd like to get more viable information about the...

I ran into this today and thought a couple parts of this article were interesting, particularly the differences between different octane gas and whether to let the car warm up before driving. The top section about squeeking brakes - almost sounds like they're promoting re-surfacing the roters...

Anybody knows some that can be done at home? DB

To anyone contemplating a new Accord, I have only driven mine a couple of thousand miles, but it has been an absolute joy!! Its very comfortable, has plenty of horsepower, and a 5 speed auto transmission that is a technological wonder - always being in the right gear at the right time. Mileage on...

I've got a '90 Mazda Protege (173K miles) and it's still in amazingly good condition, and runs like it did when one- day old. It's been very well maintained all these years, which is why I still have it. Here's the deal: I put in a new after-market radiator last July; last month I noticed a...

I just got a call from a Goodyear shop who is doing my daughter's Civic's oil change. They said both front CV joints, i.e. axle boots, are bad and need replacing and want $289 each. I declined since I don't have $600. The car has 76k on it and drives perfect with no noise or vibration. Is their...

Just thought it would be interesting to hear how many miles people are squeezing out of them?Who has the most documented miles? Getting ready to take delivery of my new 05 so I'll be staring at the beginning.

The last time I checked my rear brakes, they were fine but for the fact that the parking brake arm rotates freely on the left side, without engaging the piston. 94 Civic EX. The calipers show no evidence of brake action problems: perfectly smooth in-and-out action on both rear pistons--they even...

I saw an article in the newspaper yesterday indicating that they are passing a law in California allowing owners of Hybrid vehicles to use "single-driver" lanes. Brock Yates, in his article that appeared in the Sept. 2005 issue of "Car and Driver" indicated that other states also allow the owners...

I just read on a British site a test on the Accord diesel they have there. All Honda design 2.2 Liter turbocharged. Averaged over 77 miles ( not km's) on a gallon. I figure in real life driving , should be good for at least 50 mpg. They also have Civic and CRV diesels. Scott

I have been wondering about VTEC engagement.... Judging by the manner the "majority" of people (in the US) drive and narrowing down to Honda owners.... I am pretty sure most Honda owners either very, very rarely or NEVER hit VTEC, I mean especially owners with A/T,..I really think most NEVER ever...

My wife owns a 1989 Honda CRX SI that is in fantastic shape. She is the original owner, and the car has been garage kept since 1992, so the interior, body, and paint are in very good condition, with only a few parking lot dings. All maintenance has been done regularly (including paint sealant...

Just purchased a new Pilot. I am looking for specific oil, automatic transmission, and diff oil specifications. I want to run synthetics, not dino products. Anybody here have experience with RedLine or Amsoil products? Which varieties/weights correspond directly to the "Honda" badged...
