#805 of 864 Re: Oil change and maintainence light on 2006 Civic [lostmonkey] by rikrak Apr 09, 2007 (3:41 am)
Replying to: lostmonkey (Mar 17, 2007 7:06 pm) This worked on my 2007 LX too/ thanX   Hmm... you guys must have missed it in the manual... here is the instruction:    1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position 2. Press the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life is displayed 3. Press the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds. The engine oil life and the maintenance item code(s) will blink. 4. Press the SEL/RESET button for more than 5 seconds. The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to "100".    I have used these instructions before on my 06' civic baby. So, it should work. Good luck!

#806 of 864 105k Maintenance Question by jwse1e Apr 17, 2007 (7:05 am)
Replying to: rikrak (Apr 09, 2007 3:41 am) I have just reached 105k on my 2001 Honda Civic LX. Manual suggests the oil change & filter, but also a timing belt change (including drive belts, timing belt, water pump), manual transmission flush & fill, coolant system flush & fill, and brake system flush & fill.   Local Dealer suggests this will be $800 total package. What is a reasonable price for this service - could a local mechanic do better?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Apr 17, 2007 5:52 pm) wsustudent (Apr 18, 2007 2:45 pm)

Replying to: jwse1e (Apr 17, 2007 7:05 am) Yes, even another Honda dealer. Call 5 Honda dealers and you will probably get 5 different prices for that. It is still going to be expensive because of the timing belt change.

Replying to: jwse1e (Apr 17, 2007 7:05 am) Many independent shops can do that work too for considerably cheaper. I had it done on my 95 Civic with drive belts and coolant system flush for $415. My 2003 was just in for a head gasket job and while they were in there I had them change the timing belt and water pump as well. They also flushed the cooling system and changed the valve cover gasket and did a general tune up of the car. This was $700 but the head gasket was almost $100 alone if I remember correctly.
#809 of 864 Honda good faith warranty by dsrtrat2 May 09, 2007 (1:06 pm)
I like to give credit, where credit is due. '02 Civic with 23K miles had the 3rd window regulator go bad. American Honda paid for the entire repair bill. If you think you have a valid claim, give American Honda acall at 1-800-999-1009.

Replying to: rikrak (Apr 09, 2007 3:41 am) I have a 2001 Honda Civic LX Four Door Sedan that has given me 5 years 10 months and 108,000 miles of relible service. It has been one of the best of nearly 8 new cars I have owned.    This spring while cleaning the winter wear from this car I noticed the left front door weatherstrip was not properly fitted in the rear view mirror area. Unpon lifting the weatherstrip I discovered a rust area six inches long. The rust is so bad the werather strip will not fit into the channel designed to keep it into place. The passinger side door does not have this problem.    If you own a 2001, 02, or 03, Civic, inspect this area on your car. Take a close look becuase it is consealed and is not noticable without lifting the weatherstrip.    I would like to hear from any 2001, 02 & 03 Civic owner with the same problem.
#811 of 864 1997 civic by podunk503 May 19, 2007 (11:48 am)
so i was looking at the recalls on edmunds.com and noticed one about the gas pedal being notchy and the fix is a new throttle cable. i have this exact issue however, the recall looks different than the others. there are no dates and it doesn't say how many cars are affected or anything. so i'm a little hesitant about taking this to a dealer. what's your thoughts? i would love to not have to pay for this service
#812 of 864 '98 Tail-light lense by heart2 May 23, 2007 (4:52 am)
Have a cracked rear tail-light lense on a '98 LX. Body shop wanted $105. for replace and install. Anyone know an internet site to order one and is it an easy "do-it-yourself" job? Thanks.

#814 of 864 Tire rotation with first oil change? by woobster May 25, 2007 (1:21 pm)
I am an owner of a 2006 Civic LX Sedan. This is my first new car, and I just went in at 5500 miles for my first oil change. The Maintenance Minder had noted "A1", which seems to mean I needed an oil change (A) and tire rotation (1). When I went in to the dealer, I just asked for the oil change, and they didn't mention that I needed anything else for this service check. When I got home I started searching through the owner's manual to look at the actual maintenance schedule for the car, but it doesn't seem to exist. I just says to do whatever the "Maintenance Minder" tells you to do, but there's no actual schedule to refer to. There is a separate booklet about tires that mentions you should rotate tires around 6000 mi.   I called the service guy back and asked about the tire rotation, and he said it doesn't need to be done until 10K, and when I told him the "Minder" had said "A1", he was surprised but still said I'd be OK.   As this is my first new car, I want to do everything I can to keep it ship shape. I just want to make sure I'm OK waiting to get the tires rotated. And if I don't do it, would it void my warranty at all? Replies to this message: ruking1 (May 25, 2007 2:15 pm)
