#799 of 1922 Re: Replacing the Transmission [lletourn] by ovais Apr 17, 2007 (3:44 pm)
Replying to: lletourn (Apr 17, 2007 3:30 pm) Good to have some support on this issue. And just to clarify, of course I was asking the right questions or should I say "pushing his buttons" because I was trying to ask leading questions of course but not trying to steal a transmission from Honda.   As a matter of fact, I was told by a previous agent that I would have to provide records of transmission oil changes to them and that everyone has to provide it even if they are within the warranty km limit but this guy today told me that that was not the case. So mixed information was given, Anyhow, I can only find 2 tranny oil change records - one at 100,000 Km and one at 152,000 km. I cannot find my first tranny oil change as I moved often since then. So anyway, I spoke to the first person again and told her that my wife forgot to send the records that I had collected and that I only have 2 records. So I'll be speaking to the Manager tomorrow and maybe even asking him to pull up the taped conversation and make a case out of this.   I wil definitely keep you posted.
#800 of 1922 clunking by theriver Apr 18, 2007 (9:19 am)
I posted to the wrong forum about a clunking in my 2002 Accord with 57K. The dealer just called and said it was   Links, bushings Upper ball joints and Upper control arms.   Total quaote was 1400. I am getting a second opinion, but I think I am getting.....I drive this car on paved roads, commuting - nothing out of ordinary   Any thoughts. The clunking is definitely from the front end

Replying to: emjkelly (Apr 04, 2007 11:38 am) I belive that the problem is your ignition lock. There is a recall for this item in canada. http://www.visualimpressions.ca/switch/   not sure where you are located but i am sure there is a way to get honda to fix this for you free of charge.
#802 of 1922 Timing Belt change leading to vibrations by aamirmian Apr 26, 2007 (9:36 am)
I took my 2000 Accord LX to a Midas for replacing the time belt. When they were done, the minute I pulled away, I felt a vibration and slightly louder noise than usual everytime the RPM went over 2000.   I took it back to them yesterday and now they're telling me I need a new exhaust pipe, which with labor will cost around $390. My suspicion is that they didn't do the timing belt right and ar trying to cover it up by finding something else wrong with the car.   Any opinions or experiences?
#803 of 1922 Re: Timing belt replacement on 98 Accord EX [blufz1] by 330blast Apr 26, 2007 (2:56 pm)
Replying to: blufz1 (Apr 09, 2007 10:14 am) I took my 1999 Accrod LX to the dealer and they did the timing belt package: timing belt, water pump, all driving belt, for $630 ($695 with 10% discount), plus the 90K mile major service, the toal bill was $1,030.   Always ask around, and even dealer price is negotiable.
#804 of 1922 O2 sensor by 330blast Apr 26, 2007 (3:01 pm)
The check engine light of my 1999 Accord LX came up 2-3 days after the dealer did the 90K major service and timing belt package job.   I drove the car back, they checked the code which indicated the O2 sensor. Cleaned the sensor, and erased the code. Did you come back on. Three weeks later, the CEL came up again and this time, the dealer said the code is solid and they have to replace the front sensor.   My questions is if it is possible that somehow during the major service and timing belt/water pump/driving belt changes that they broke the O2 sensor. The dealer said it's more of a coincidence and based on my knowledge of where the sensor is, that sounds right since the sensor is not any close to any replaced parts, but would like confirm with you folks.   What's your thoughts?   Thanks.

#805 of 1922 2001 Accord Headlight by emmye Apr 28, 2007 (2:48 am)
The passenger side low beam headlight quit working on my 2001 Accord. Bought replacement bulb, did not solve. Thought it was a bad replacement bulb, got another. 2nd replacement did not solve. Is there an electrical problem known in Accords that someone can tell me about? Any suggestions on how to solve a simple "headlight replacement" HELP!

Replying to: emmye (Apr 28, 2007 2:48 am) you can use an inexpensive voltmeter (home depot or lowes or radioshack), and see if the bulb socket / wiring is supplying 12volts.   is there a disconnect in the wiring harness for the bulb socket? seems like you should check for voltage there (i.e. maybe the socket assembly is partially unplugged).   but you could have a bad socket.
#807 of 1922 Key Stuck in the Ignition 1999 Honda Accord by brianplott Apr 30, 2007 (2:26 pm)
I get to blame this one on my wife...she had a new key made for our 1999 Honda Accord and used the the duplicate key to try and start the car. The problem is that the original key has that chip in it so when she put the dup key in the ignition it not only won't start but its now stuck in there. When I hold the original key up against the key stuck in the ignition, the car will turnover without issue, and I can move it around in the different positions, but it won't release. Is there some kind of a trick to get that new key out? I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to reparing cars myself, but I would like to save some money if there is a simple computer reset of some sorts that i can do. I searched the forum for similar questions but didn't see any, so sorry if this type of thing has been addressed already somewhere. I really appreciate the help - I haven't had to bring the car in to the dealer yet, was hoping to keep that streak alive.   Thanks, Brian Replies to this message: vtectuner90 (May 01, 2007 3:18 pm)

Replying to: brianplott (Apr 30, 2007 2:26 pm) well i had the same situation and what worked for me was to disconnect the battery and try taking it out then cause it was a magnetic pin that held the key in
