#4404 of 4870 Re: Brakes, How long should they last? Lifespan? [f0rl0rn] by elroy5 Jan 15, 2009 (3:53 pm)
Replying to: f0rl0rn (Jan 15, 2009 7:25 am) But if you are not inclined to do any of your own mechanic work at the very least make sure new shims are put on so you can hear the warning sound.   The wear indicators are attached to each inner pad, for each caliper. The shims are thin plates that go between the pad backing and the caliper. The wear indicators are part of the inner pad, and not a separate part. The shims, in most cases, do not come with the pads, when you purchase them. If the shims have rust on them, they should be replaced. When you buy brake pads, they should come with a packet of grey anti-squeal paste (looks like never-seize to me). This is to be applied between the pads and shims.

#4406 of 4870 Power Steering Pump Noise by Honda30 Jan 17, 2009 (9:57 am)
I replaced the power steering pump on my 04 Accord LX V6 at 78,000 miles because of noise. My daughter had her pump replaced on her 03 Accord V6 at 54,000 miles because of noise.   Further research on my part indicates that the Honda pumps are failing at an unusually high rate. This item costs around $500.00 to replace.   Please post up if you have had this issue with your 03 and newer Honda, and the amount you paid to have it corrected.   Thanks   Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 4:28 pm) srizvi1 (Jan 17, 2009 9:57 pm) elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 10:42 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: Honda30 (Jan 17, 2009 9:57 am) There is a TSB on the power steering moan/whine. It may be the problem. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10581&d=1200936994- Replies to this message: srizvi1 (Jan 17, 2009 9:57 pm) elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 10:42 pm) srizvi1 (Jan 25, 2009 4:07 pm) Honda30 (Jan 18, 2009 9:02 am) elroy5 (Jan 18, 2009 5:55 pm)
#4408 of 4870 03 Accord fan motor stays on after ignition is turned off by tully22 Jan 17, 2009 (5:05 pm)
I recently replaced the underhood fuse/relay panel in my 2003 Accord EX to correct the light dimming problem created by a failing ELD, but now my blower for heat and a/c stays on after ignition is off. It seems like a relay issue, but I can't find the location of that relay. Any help?

Replying to: elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 4:28 pm) thanks for the info on the TSB. I've noticed something here and there with the steering wheel being hard to turn at first w/ my 2004 Accord 4 cyclinder (well.. was "mine".. I've moved onto my new car, an '08 IS 350). I thought it may have something to do with a power steering fluid because a flush has been recommended to me by the Honda Dealer on a few recent occasions (but not by Firestone yet, so I was ignoring it).   I will be taking in the Accord for certain 120k and below services (it's now at 126k+ miles - I've discussed these services recently on this thread and will give an update on where I am with everything soon to help others who are in the same boat as me). I'll show them this and see what they say, but I guess it's exclusive to the 6 cylinder? maybe there's something for the 4 cylinder too?

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 17, 2009 9:57 pm) The V6 TSB is the only one I know of. I've heard of bad pumps too. They may use the same type of connection and 0-rings on the 4 cylinder, don't know. I do know an 0-ring cost less than a pump. Replies to this message: srizvi1 (Jan 25, 2009 4:07 pm)

Replying to: elroy5 (Jan 17, 2009 4:28 pm) elroy5 Thanks for the TSB. My symptons were the same as described in the TSB. You would think there would be oil leakage if the return line o-ring was the cause. I had no oil leakage at all.   Are these TSB's available online to the public?

#4412 of 4870 by rascal7298 Jan 18, 2009 (5:37 pm)
I just bought a 2006 Honda Accord EX with 16000 miles. The dealer gave me quote for an extended warranty of $1300 for 6 years and 84K miles. Personally I think the quote was a bit high, but I also thinking I wasn't sure if I wanted an extended warranty anyway. Should I spend $1000 for an extended warranty with a vehicle such as this? Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: accord6mt (Jan 22, 2009 7:28 am) f0rl0rn (Jan 22, 2009 7:47 am)

Replying to: Honda30 (Jan 18, 2009 9:02 am) I don't know of any sites that have all of the TSBs, and the details. When one is posted, it's usually by a Honda technician.
