Replying to: elroy5 (Jan 02, 2009 8:30 pm) 1) the "air cleaner element": ( Air Filter / Genuine Factory Honda Accord engine air filter - $20.49) (crap, I should have apparently replaced this at 105,000 miles too - I don't think I've done this since 90k) 2) Replace automatic transmission fluid ( Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF-Z1 - $6.11) 3) Replace dust and pollen filter (Micron Air brand Pollen Filter - Also called A/C or Cabin filters. Fits Years 2003-2005, for other years - $15.95) 4) Replace engine coolant (Genuine Factory Honda long life antifreeze/coolant type2 - 1 Gallon Container 50/50 prediluted. - $11.73) The big question is how many to get of each. For the "air cleaner element - I assume air filter?)" filters maybe I'll do two of these since I have to do this every 15k miles. But for the antifreeze and transmission fluid, would one of each be sufficient. I'll go check out my local autozone for the spark plugs I've also been told a number of times now that I need to flush the power steering fluid. So maybe I should grab that from here as well: Power Steering Fluid Genuine Factory Honda Power Steering Fluid, 12 fl. oz container. $2.90 I should probably go ahead and grab an oil filter too - Honda Oil Filter Note: part# 15400-PLM-A02 - $5.15. I always grab my own mobil 1 oil from somewhere, but never get the filter. I might as well grab it now, even though I'm not due for an oil change for a while. With the spark plugs, I'll check out my local Autozone. I should make sure it is NGK (IZFR6K-11) Iridium tipped? Any brand/pricing suggestions? Seems $65 is a good price from the earlier post I replied to. |

I was wondering if there is a way to thaw frozen windshield washer fluid in the car. I don't have a garage and the washer fluid in my mom's car has gotten frozen. Can I put rubbing alcohol in it to thaw it out or do I have to take a hair dryer out there and try it that way? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Replying to: tankbeans (Jan 03, 2009 5:39 pm) Rubbing alcohol is usually 70% alcohol, 30% water, if I remember right, that's about all the water it can absorb. You need to find the 90% alcohol for it to do anything. Mrbill |

I am wondering about tire pressures in the winter, is it better to keep less air in them than I normally put in the summer. The summer I normally up the level a bit, because it feels and handles better, but I am wondering in the winter if it is better to keep it on the lower side or just keep it as normal. Which for me, would be the few over the recommended amount, if it says 30, the dealer said it was okay to put 35. Because it does drop down a few days later to a level 33 or so. About the Michelins cracking on the side walls, I have had those on an 06, but they always looked new, but I always had tire shine on them from the car wash. They literally looked new at 34k. no cracking. I had them rotated all the time too.

2007 Accord Coupe - V6 automatic At first I was convinced it was a problem with the brakes. It doesn't happen all of the time. When I press the brake lightly the rapping sound starts and it is always perfectly in tune with the rotation of the wheel (one rap per rotation). Sounds as if it is the front, left. Pressing the brake a little more, the sound gets louder, but always in tune with the rotation. Brake a little more and the sound stops (as if crossing a line of some kind). It is not the brake though, it is something else. Outside air temp. doesn't seem to be factor. However, I only hear this problem while driving before the engine fully 'warms up'. The CV Joint? A wheel bearing? It is definitely not the ABS engaging. |
