Replying to: blufz1 (Jun 22, 2007 1:33 pm) <BTW, have I told you how much I appreciate all the help you have given? My old mechainic used to tell me what was wrong, what to look for to prevent issues, what to not waste my money on, etc. He always wanted me to understand how my car worked. I think half was his love of hondas and the other half he wanted women to know how to take care of their cars and not be afraid. It's sad that I can now see how much he started ripping me off in the last few years(me: "my trannie's running funny"- him:"oh let me do a valve adjust for $2-300-----never mentioning the warranty issue). Wish there was somewhere to complain and warn others (I already complained to him about a minor thing and let's just say it didn't get any better). So thank you all!> |

In addition to the struts leaking, the mechanic neglected to tell me on the phone that my "cam and crank seals are leaking with drive belts replaced (Est. $542)." I saw that on the receipt just now. Ok, if I just had those replaced last week while getting a timing belt why in the world would they be leaking now? And wouldn't this be HIS problem to fix? I am starting to get really down since this 2000 Accord is running me $2000 in repairs this year. I never spent so much (or am being told to spend so much) $$$ for my civic and it was 10 years old.

You got it! I was thinking just that. The dealership I took it to for warranty work tried to pad the bill(but only $40 more, not 1K) before but it's worth a try. Thanks for the feedback. I am getting the jist that maybe this guy isn't above board. Darn, in business over 50 years...oh well. So I am right in saying that the cam seals and crank seals are ONE thing on the car; that once they are replaced there are no OTHER cam or crank seals to replace? Have you ever even heard of the struts leaking at 91K? I noticed that since these probs were not noted on this site that it perhaps was not prevalent.....

I have a 1998 Accord LX 4Cyl 4dr 5 speed manual. The Check engine light is on and the speedometer and cruise control do not work. Took it to the local auto shop and the code says its the speed sensor. Can someone tell me where its located (someplace on the transmission is what I was told) and how to replace it? Thank you!!!

| I have a 2001 Accord, 4 cyl. with a 5 speed. With the clutch pedal depressed, there is no noise. When the pedal is released, even in neutral, there is a very loud roaring noise that increases with engine RPM. What could this be? Also, when the clutch pedal is depressed, is the throwout bearing turning, or is it turning when the pedal is released? Or both? Please respond. Thank you for your time. | |
