Just for the edification of anyone Usenetting or Googling... I've just got through a chilly February episode replacing the cabin filter in my neighbor's van. It had never been done before on this particular vehicle, so the plastic dash reinforcing strip was still there. The Purolator instructions...

I've heard many conflicting stories and I'm hoping someone here knows a little more definitively. I am looking to find out if the "Black Box" on my Honda can retain information from a ceratin date a few months ago. (The car was involved in an accident, and has been repaired and driven...

Hi, I live in the US and drive a Honda Civic 2005. I have been going to the local auto shop that specializes in Japanese cars for car maintainence. These folks do a good job for the most part except for oil change. The Civic manual says that it will take 3.4 quarts of oil but these mechanics use...

Hi, I'm buying a 2009 Honda CR-V with Navigation System from a honda dealership in NJ. My previous CRV was totalled while parked in front of my house. So, I need to buy a new one. I like the CR-V so I'm sticking with it. I visited the dealer on Saturday and worked out a deal (I dread the car...

2004 Accord. The headlights are just not bright enough on the car and I'd like to replace them with something brighter. I've looked at the HID bulbs, is that the only option? What has anyone tried and how do they work? Thanks in advance. H-S-F

hi there.I have a 95 honda civic with a D15B3 engine(1.5l 16v).The timing belt resently broke and Im trying to see if any valves bend without removing the head. Ive removed the rocker arms and the sparks plugs.My question is whether or not Ill be able to determine anything if I do a compression...

What are the differences between the DX and the other versions like SI, etc? I may be acquiring an 89 1 owner and am curious about the options. It is all factory. No mods.

For almost a year, I have been experiencing handling/ride problems with my 97 Accord (200K miles) After new tires (Michelin Pilot Exaltos), new struts and multiple alignments, the problem still persisted. I experience the following symptoms. * little on-center feel * suspension feels loose *...

I finally got around to dropping the new head on my wife's car. There are two connectors for which I can't find a plug. One is a fairly large brown square one with a lot of wires feeding it that I THINK was bolted to the underside of the intake manifold. The other is an oval black one with...

2001 Civic LX - Supposed to use 5W-20 (I think that's what it says on the cap). I used 10W-40. It's what a mechanic recommended. Not the 1st time I've used a diff oil than spec. Just wondering if there can be bad consequences if I use the wrong motor oil? Also, what exactly do those numbers and...

I'm right in the middle of changing the timing belt on my daughter's 98 Civic (VTEC). The job is going pretty well as I did my 95 Civic's timing belt this past spring. I'm trying to not destroy the oil dipstick tube which must be removed on the 98 to be able to remove the lower timing belt cover....

Is this normal? I just brought my Honda Civic in for it's 20,000 mile service. I purchased this car 9/7/2005 so, it's only a year old. I drive mostly highway. They tell me the front brake pads are at 60% left and the rear are at 20% left. I have never had a car that worn the brakes so fast. I do...

just got a wheel alignment done on my 99 accord (64K miles) at midas... looking at the readout i don't see a whole lot of adjustments made (for eg caster L/R, sai, curve toein etc).. some of the numbers seem worse than before (camber L/R front/rear). i guess only toe looks to be improved.. my...

Pics he http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/new_front_bushings/ I replaced everything except the shocks and springs. I must say, very emphatically, that this project would have been thoroughly impossible had it not been for my DeWalt electric impact gun. That thing is capable of 325 ft/lbs...

Hi, my 1.6L 4-cylinder Civic often makes a "clicking" noise, especially when under load in too high a gear. Sometimes even at the "correct" gear, when accelerating. Is this pinging, pinking, tappet noise, detonation, spark knock, etc? I've searched the posts, but I'm now more confused. Some people...

Hello, My problem started when I noticed that the battery light turned on - stayed like that for a few minutes after starting the car. After running the engine for few minutes the battery warning light turned off. Now the light is on all the time no matter how long I keep the engine running. I...
