I had a problem with my 06 ex civic 4drsd. when it got cold there was a noise. I drove to the dealer and it went away but they kept it overnight to make sure. It started again in the morning and it turned out to be the powersteering pump.It was replaced by the dealer under warranty. The car has 18,500 miles on it and only driven by my wife to/from work not hard and far.

Mileage

Basically the same mileage on my '06 LX but no noises like that yet. Had the Water Pump recall and they did the Lug Bug thing and the Rear Control Arms but reimbursed me 1/2 for the rear tires. Know it's alot for my 1st Honda product but still loving the car. Have a '08 Accord LX-P rental outside now and it's been a joy to drive these past five days while we were out of town. Took only about 3/8 of a tank from Orlando down to Pompano Beach this afternoon and was smooth as silk down the Florida Turnpike. No comparison to the Malibu they switched us out of earlier in the week due to a faulty tire pressure monitoring system...NO COMPARISON.
Honda still rocks!

Accessory lights

I was thinking of adding accessory running lights to my '06 coupe. Does anyone have any recommendations or cautionary tales? Also has anyone done a horn replacement to the anemic standard horn that the car comes with? Any websites for purchasing that you recommend? Thanks, Neal

I had the fog lights installed on my 06 coupe. I think they are great. The price was kind of steep, but I had them add them in before we negotiated the price and I got a pretty good deal on the car. Very effective and they really add to the looks of the front end.

Stupid me, I got the water pump notice, put it down and forgot about it. Now I'm having to go in today for them to make the repair and I have to drive over 50 miles to get there and will be nervous the whole time. I haven't noticed any leaks or such to say I have a problem, but this will teach me to take action right away. I've had no problems with the car so have become complacent.

Wimpy Horn

Yes, the Civic does have a somewhat wimpy horn but the Accord's is just plain to loud and obtrusive. Honda needs to find one in the middle there for both cars.

I got everything taken care of concerning the water pump. They said it's not the same problem I had with the '02 Civic, but that was also the water pump. Took about 2 hours so now I feel a bit more safe...until the next thing turns up. I only have a little over 10,000 miles on the car so who knows what's down the road waiting. I still enjoy driving it and hopefully the motor won't fall out some day.

I have no idea if this is your problem but I have two Toyota's that have had similar heater fan problems. The mice like to try and build nests inside the heater fans in the winter. I have pulled out dead mice in two cars this winter. I also have a 2006 Civic EX but I have not had the problem with this car yet. You could have something inside the fan that is causing it to go off balance. The fan can become very noisy if this happens.
