#4847 of 4951 Malfunction Indicator lamp by jolt Oct 22, 2009 (11:35 am)
I have a 2005 Accord with 40000 miles.The engine light just came on,I recently had the right hand blinker go out.It took several hours to locate the problem.After 4 hours the Honda Dealership found a faulty blinker relay switch.Now 4 weeks later my light comes on.Anyone with any experience on the subject know what I might be getting into at the dealership when I take it in?Does this light cover anything that might be wrong ?

Replying to: jolt (Oct 22, 2009 11:35 am) The VERY FIRST thing you should do is go to AutoZone and have the code read for free. A dealer will charge $50-$75 most likely to simply diagnose the code. AutoZone diagnosed mine for free. An O'Reilly or Advance Auto will probably do the same thing. Get the code read first though, save your $$$   Good luck, and hopefully its nothing big. It's very possible that you simply didn't click the gas cap enough. I've done that before and gotten a Check Engine Light. After tightening it and driving a few more trips (maybe 100 miles over 3 or 4 cranks), it went off. Replies to this message: jolt (Oct 23, 2009 11:46 am)

Replying to: thegraduate (Oct 22, 2009 7:41 pm) Ty for your response.I will go this weekend.I really don,t want to go the dealership anymore.It took them 5 hours to find out why my blinker wasn,t working.I thought they could hook it up to the computer and find quicker than that.I live in California and smog laws are tough here,I don,t think it will pass with an engine light on.Thanks again
#4851 of 4951 2004 EX V6 Timing Belt Change by saxon2nsx Oct 24, 2009 (11:57 am)
My car is slowly getting to that dreadful 100K mark. Before snow falls and mechanics freeze in their bays, I would like to complete this service. I was told that the best approach would be to get what is commonly known as the "Timing Belt Kit", which include the following : Mitsuboshi timing belt, an Aisin water pump w/ gasket, an Aisin hudraulic tension adjuster, a Koyo tensioner bearing, and a Koyo idler bearing. Also, I was informed that T-Belt Tension Adjuster and the regular "belt" should also be replaced. The parts all together come to around $425 + $300 labor. My questions are: 1. Are there other parts that are generally replaced when doing the timing belt? 2. Am I overdoing this?   Your 2c are greatly appreciated.   Saxon Replies to this message: tankbeans (Oct 25, 2009 6:09 am)

Finally gave in and decided to fix the rust problem on the Rear sash's on my '03 Accord. $50 for the parts from Majestic Honda and $120 labor to install it from a private mechanic. half the price from going to the dealership.
#4853 of 4951 t belt by stickguy Oct 24, 2009 (8:37 pm)
sounds like you got all the pieces coverered, but not having done one myself, I suppose there may be something else to throw in!   but to answer your question, no, you aren't overdoing it. Most of the small parts are pretty cheap, it is the labor that kills you. So, when it is apart, replace any wear item, gasket, seal, etc. that is either removed to get to the t belt, or exposed when it is all opened up.

Replying to: saxon2nsx (Oct 24, 2009 11:57 am) When I went in 2 years ago to have the timing belt done in my 95 Accord 4-cyl they replaced the timing belt and water pump along with all other accessory belts. The generation that 95 was a part of had timing belts for 4-cylinder and timing chains for 6-cylinder models. The generation that your car, and my current vehicle for that matter, are switched. 6-cylinder models have the belt while 4-cylinder models have chains.   Sorry about the little back story, about the cars, that you probably already knew. The $725 that you were quoted is about what I paid for at the dealer in my area.   And no I don't think you're overdoing this because at 100k the timing belt is usually in need of replacement anyway. Doing it before winter is a good idea because it's done and you won't have to worry about it.   Any of the more intelligent (ie. more mechanically inclined than I) and insightful posters please add to anything I've already said.
#4855 of 4951 Windshield Wipers by hoosier3 Oct 25, 2009 (8:27 pm)
I have an 05 Accord. When the temperature drops below 45 degrees my windshield wipers stop working! Any suggestions on why this is happening?
#4856 of 4951 '06 Accord Rattles on Left Turn by tabcourt Oct 26, 2009 (11:02 am)
As a matter of fact, so does my '05 CR-V. The Accord has 46,000 miles on it and the CR-V has over 100K. Is it something that the extended warranty will cover (on the Accord, as the CR-V is out of warranty)? Thanks.
