Almost all modern cars have an electric fan that runs after the engine is turned off.

Replying to: skris (Jun 28, 2009 5:40 pm) What you are describing is perfectly normal. When temps go to 105 the cooling system will show a higher operating temperature because it can't get rid of the engine heat as quickly as it does at a lower temperature. If you would like to see the engine temperature go down, turn up the heater to "full blast". It will get very hot in the passenger compartment, but the engine temperature will go down and the temperature gauge will show a drop in temperature.   Stay cool all is working well!

Replying to: bioman (Jun 29, 2009 3:06 am) elroy, dudley and bioman,   Thanks for your responses. I checked the coolant level- it was full in the radiator and 1/2 way between min and max in the over flow tank. Drove it to work today (about 3 miles). The temp quickly climbed to the 1/2 way mark and stayed there.   thanks again kris Replies to this message: elroy5 (Jun 29, 2009 1:57 pm)

Replying to: skris (Jun 28, 2009 5:40 pm) sounds normal. just to be on the safe side, let the car cool down overnight and in the morning, check the external reservoir. there should be coolant there, if not open the radiator cap (make sure the engine has cooled completely!) and add coolant if necessary.

Replying to: skris (Jun 29, 2009 8:23 am) If the coolant hasn't been changed, and you have over 50k miles, I would change it soon. I know the owner's manual says the coolant is good for 105k miles, but I just don't believe that is wise in Houston or South Louisiana (where I live). The high temperatures, and high humidity, put a lot of stress on the cooling systems IMO.

Replying to: skris (Jun 28, 2009 5:40 pm) As long as the gauge stays below the 1/2 mark then it's ok. If not, you might want to replace the thermostat.

Replying to: mookie14 (Jun 05, 2009 4:24 am) Are you sure it is oil leaking?? It could be the tranny?? When I purchased my 07 accord I inspected it on the rack. The first accord had a tranny leak, yes the brand new car already had a leak. If it is the tranny you have 5 yr. 60K warranty to get it fixed. Honda may give you headaches but keep up the fight!!!

#4696 of 4920 Maintenance Question/Adivce at 22K miles Accord 2007 by garrick Jul 06, 2009 (9:32 am)
2007 4 cyl Accord will be 2 yrs old August 09. Need to bring it in for service now with 22K miles. Maintenance Minder is showing "B" which if I read the manual correctly shows the following suggested:   Replace engine oil and oil filter Inspect front and rear brakes Check parking brake adjustment Inspect these items: Tie rod ends, steering gear box, and boots Suspension components Driveshaft boots Brake hoses and lines (including ABS) All fluid levels and condition of fluids Exhaust system Fuel lines and connections   Dealer obviously suggests a lot more service for about $300 such as rotate tires, roadforce balancing, air filter, inspect distributor cap, clean injectors, 40 point service inspection and others.   What should I do at 22K miles if I plan on keeping this car for the long haul?

Replying to: garrick (Jul 06, 2009 9:32 am) All the maintenance items you listed sound like good ideas, except for two. If the car has no hint of vibration in the steering wheel at speed or other vibrations, I would decline the roadforce balancing. The balance will only be as good as the guy operating the machine. If the balance machine is subpar, or the operator is inexperienced, you could end up with a problem you didn't have before. Second, I don't think your car has a distributor cap.
