Replying to: accord6mt (Jan 07, 2009 7:57 am) Use a wrench instead of a screwdriver.   I agree. I saw the potential for disaster so I used a socket right away. They are on very tight so it takes some muscle to loosen them. It is good that they don't come out of the housing though. I hate trying to retrieve dropped screws/bolts.   The I4 has screws that are deep as well so I agree that you need an extension.   And yes, it is a tight fit but if you really force it, you can get the housing out of the way.

Replying to: tallman1 (Jan 06, 2009 11:26 pm) Thanks for starting this mini thread Tallman1. As I posted a few posts prior to your post, I'm planning on dealing with both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter myself. Did you grab your filters from handa-accessories.com by any chance? I had given a breakdown of what I was planning to order here: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.efdf924/4330 Replies to this message: blufz1 (Jan 08, 2009 8:26 am) srizvi1 (Jan 25, 2009 4:00 pm) srizvi1 (Feb 02, 2009 6:53 am) tallman1 (Feb 02, 2009 9:23 am) and 7 more... altair9 (Jan 08, 2009 10:32 am) tallman1 (Jan 09, 2009 5:32 pm)

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 07, 2009 8:17 pm) I always have the new oem replacement AF at hand. I check about every 15k and,if needed,I just stick the new AF in. Minimizes the times I have to "open it up".

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 07, 2009 8:17 pm) Just changed my air filter on my 05 I4 EXL Navi. It took a fair amount of muscle to move the filter box towards the engine to clear the frame. I was afraid to damage anything, but managed to put the filter in. The cabin filter is a breeze. Bought both filters from Handa. Just 2 less things to get ripped off from the dealer in NYC.
#4378 of 4951 Minor annoyance by tankbeans Jan 08, 2009 (3:57 pm)
Hi. I have a minor problem, more of an annoyance. I've been noticing that there is frost on the insides of my windows. Is there something that I can do about this or do I have to learn to start the car earlier? Does this mean that there is too much water, from ice on my shoes, in the car and it is re-freezing on the windows?   I'm sure it's nothing, but I'm curious.

Replying to: tankbeans (Jan 08, 2009 3:57 pm) My bet would be the water from shoes. If your floor mats and/or carpeting is wet, the evaporating water has to go somewhere, and when the car isn't running, the first thing to get cold is the windows, so that's where the water is going to collect first.   I've already taken the mats inside and placed them by my heating vents for the night. That did a good job of getting rid of all or at least most of the water.   Mrbill Replies to this message: tankbeans (Jan 08, 2009 5:47 pm)

#4381 of 4951 Accord Glow plug warning light by mechainical Jan 09, 2009 (12:05 pm)
Hey all,   This is my first post here, so please bare with me.   The ploblem is with my 2005 2.2 i-cdti accord. Every now and then, when I get to about 3,000rpm, the engine looses power. It does not stop the engine, but the glow plug light comes on and starts flashing. When this happens the engine is limited to about 2100rpm, in all gears, and does not want to go any higher.   The only way I can get it to run normally again, is to pull over, turn off the engine for a few minutes and restart. Once I do this, it runs ok, as long as I keep the RPM low.   The thing is, it does not happen every day, so I am stumped for a cause.   Has anyone had this problem, or related problem, and if so, what was the fix?   Thanks.

Replying to: mechainical (Jan 09, 2009 12:05 pm) Have you disconnected the battery recently?
