#4540 of 4933 what is the 100000 service for an 04 Accord (LX) - 4 cylinder by lagapis Mar 02, 2009 (1:42 pm)
Please help. My husband accidentally pitched the owners manual for the car. I just passed the 100000 mile mark on my car. Our local dealership is telling us we need to spend $1000+ on all these maintenance items. Can anyone tell me what the suggested 100,000 mile service appointment entails? Is all of this really necessary? Thanks!! Replies to this message: pat (Mar 02, 2009 2:31 pm) packer3 (Mar 02, 2009 3:39 pm) elroy5 (Mar 02, 2009 3:47 pm)

Replying to: lagapis (Mar 02, 2009 1:42 pm) You can look up the manufacturer's recommendations here: Maintenance Schedules, Recalls and Technical Service Bulletins.   Meanwhile, perhaps some others here have suggestions for you.

Replying to: packer3 (Mar 02, 2009 3:39 pm) The 4 cylinder has no timing belt, so I don't see justification for $1000+ bill. If it was a V6, the timing belt would be more than half of that estimate. Do you have a list of what is included in this maintenance?

Replying to: stickguy (Feb 07, 2009 6:43 am) "THe CCA, etc. on the OEM is borderline. I think the OEM was ~430, and the replacement was ~750-800"   I have found no replacement options where the CCA is any greater than 500. The 51R model (correct size for the Accord) seems to be pretty much standard for the industry -- probably because they are mostly made by the same manufacturer. Even the exceptional battery, Optima Yellowtop (supposedly a better choice, if you can afford it) is listed at only 450 CCA.   For my money, what matters most is a battery which keeps its charge when not in use (like, say, parking at the airport for a week.) If Sears made the 51R in a Diehard Platinum, I think I would be willing to pay the premium for it. Unfortunately, they don't -- at least, not yet.

Replying to: rlommbardi (Mar 03, 2009 1:14 pm) Are you still under warranty? If so, definitely take it to the dealer. It may be an actuator problem.
#4547 of 4933 Re: 2007 Honda Accord Brakes squaling sound [blufz1] by 2007accord1 Mar 03, 2009 (8:06 pm)
Replying to: blufz1 (Mar 01, 2009 8:06 am) I had the inspection done again at Midas and they were saying the brake pads and rotors on all wheels look good. Mechanic says squeaking sound is okay and I have to live with it (Surprisingly)   OR They told me I can have rotors rotated and put Ceramic pads on it to reduce the Squeaking but they are not guaranteeing anything   Please advise,,   Kush Replies to this message: blufz1 (Mar 03, 2009 9:12 pm) 2007accord1 (Mar 06, 2009 5:45 am) blufz1 (Mar 10, 2009 7:43 am)

Replying to: 2007accord1 (Mar 03, 2009 8:06 pm) I would take it to the Honda dealer,tell them about the issue, and see what they say. I would prefer Honda to do any required brake work vs. Midas. Replies to this message: 2007accord1 (Mar 06, 2009 5:45 am) blufz1 (Mar 10, 2009 7:43 am)

Replying to: bbinspace (Feb 23, 2009 8:03 am) Just had the same thing on the passenger side. Dealer did it free--took three minutes. I bought the bulb and the service writer installed it himself. He did not remove the battery--just reached in the front fender through the hood. I have an '05.
