#4658 of 4933 Re: RE ;Oil Leak 07 accord [mookie14] by mrbill1957 Jun 08, 2009 (1:00 pm)
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

#4660 of 4933 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 4933 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.

Man you would not believe what has happened to my auto. About some wks ago i put a post about the p steering pump. If you go back you will see what typed anyway as they took my engine out they found that the SOB'S who worked on the auto to put the pump on and a clerking sound from the pulleys tapped the bolt near the engine And drilled a hole to far in so what did i have after the fact a OIL LEAK!!! this is not honda's defect its a incompatent DEALERSHIP. I am HOT!!! yes i do not have to pay but dam you trust folks to fix your auto and look what you get. Well the dealership that has it its like 10 miles away from the factory where they make them and i will only deal with them to fix ANYTHING wrong with this auto. And purchase the new honda what do you think of this man this is a 1ST! ps. the post about this is 4617,4624,4625,4626, thanks.

Replying to: mookie14 (Jun 10, 2009 9:11 am) This is the kind of incompetence I see at my local dealership. At least it was the last time I used them, in 1996. No one touches my car, but me now. So if something gets screwed up, I know who to blame. There is a recall on my car's wiper motor, but as long as the wipers work, they're not touching it. Hope everything turns out OK with your engine. Replies to this message: blufz1 (Jun 10, 2009 9:19 pm)

Replying to: elroy5 (Jun 10, 2009 12:47 pm) I agree. As long as my car is running well I don't want them to touch it. Unfortunately,changing and torquing spark plugs is about the limit of my mechanical acumen. Hated to let them replace 2 motor mounts and change the timing belt. Offended by them using a compressed air torque wrench. But,there it is. So far,so good. Fingers crossed.

Well got the auto back yep they replaced the WHOLE engine block. Like i said this is a 1st the dealersahip who replaced it they are close to the plant in marysville where they make mainly all the honda's. So to me i am satisfied with the service i got from them anyware else HE... TO THE KNOW. I like this auto but im giving it up in march 010 no extended warranty on the tranny so its a 2010 or a 09 or pilot or a accord.
