#4655 of 4950 Windshield washer by arbys Jun 08, 2009 (9:46 am)
Question on a 2007 Accord EX-L: I bought the car new in Sept. 2007, and I can't remember if I've had this issue since then, or just in the last several months. But basically, whenever I use my windshield washer, the fuild shoots not only onto the windshield, but also onto my sunroof and even all the way to my back window! And that's with the car stationary. Anyone else experience this? Would this be something covered by the warranty, if it's indeed a flaw? Thanks.

Replying to: arbys (Jun 08, 2009 9:46 am) whenever I use my windshield washer, the fuild shoots not only onto the windshield, but also onto my sunroof and even all the way to my back window!   I haven't had to adjust them on my 06 but every car I've had allows you to do this. Sometimes you have to stick a pin or something similar in the nozzle to move it slightly. Other times you can reach the nozzle to adjust it from the outside.

Replying to: arbys (Jun 08, 2009 9:46 am) My 03 does that. I don't think anything is the matter. The fun part is when I'm driving down the highway and having the people behind me needing to wipe their windshields after I've sprayed mine.

Replying to: mookie14 (Jun 08, 2009 6:40 am) It sounds like there is a manufacturing defect if the engine has a hole. I've seen this on another car, it's nothing you did wrong, it just was a defect in the casting of the block (if this is what you have)   As far as loosing anything on trade in, heck I'd rather buy a used car with a new/newer engine with less miles on it then an engine with higher miles. This is a mechanical repair, It won't change the value of your car. It wasn't in an accident, so there is nothing that will devalue your Accord.   Mrbill

Replying to: arbys (Jun 08, 2009 9:46 am) When driving at speed (when I normally use the washers) the spray blows right on the windshield. Not a problem really; like others have said, they may be adjustable.
#4660 of 4950 clutch squeak by stickguy Jun 09, 2009 (6:25 pm)
for you manual tranny people..   I have an intermittent squeak in the clutch linkage. Recently started again. Mostly I notice it in 1-2 gear, lower speeds. Kind of like a squeak/squeal noise when releasing the clutch. I don't notice it at higher speeds (or gears).   I did have something replaced for this issue when the car was 1-2 years old,(some TSB I found on line), even though they claimed it didn't apply to my car. Now, noise is back.   WOnder if it is just a lubrication issue? Works fine, just annoying, and of course I want to head off any future expensive failures! Especially since it is no longer under warranty. Replies to this message: avalanche2x (Jun 10, 2009 2:30 am)

Could be a worn throwout bearing. With a hydraulic clutch I doubt it is a matter of lube, but it could be possible.

Replying to: stickguy (Jun 09, 2009 6:25 pm) I had the same issue. The dealer initially replaced the clutch master cylinder per TSB 02-002 (dated Mar 16,2004). The problem reoccurred a year later and they replaced the clutch master cylinder again but with a redesigned part. I have not had any issues since then. All of this was covered under my Certified Used warranty.   The mechanical explanation I was given is that some fitting(s) were made of plastic which lead to the premature wear. The redesigned part uses brass.   Good luck!
#4663 of 4950 thanx by stickguy Jun 10, 2009 (7:54 am)
I dug out my paperwork, and it was the master cylinder they replaced (probably per the same TSB). That was at 15K. I complained that the noise was coming back at 34K, and of course they didn't hear it, so they lubed the linkage pin to the MS and punted me.   At least I have the paperwork to proved that it was a problem before the warranty expired. That and the 3 cars I bring to them for service should get me something.
