Accessory lights by nealm

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 by sandman46

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 a 2006 EX, just wondering if anyone else has had a problem or replaced their heater fan? The other day when I was driving it made alot of noise (like a bad bearing) It has since quieted down but it still making noise.

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.

excessive engine vibration by lynnjer

So for the last five months or so, I've been experiencing what I feel is excessive egine vibration for my 2006 Civic EX. I see some posts about the engine mounts, but I've been to two dealers and they 1. say they can't identify the vibration or think it's normal, and 2. the engine mounts look fine.
 
I drive about 100 miles to work, and a 100 back. I get a monster headache that lasts the entire week. I can't keep putting up with this. I can't trade in an 06 with almost 80k miles on it and expect anything for it. In this economy, I sure as heck can't afford it.
 
I know crap about cars, unfortunately, but someone told me about engine harmonizers. One tech guy at the dealer said they're not real mechanics anymore. If they can't visually identify or pinpoint the issue, they can't take things apart to find it. For them to look into the harmonizer thing, is probably gonna be about $300 minimum.
 
I am not making this vibration thing up either. Driving this much, I'm gonna have a pretty darn good feel about my car and know what's normal and not. This is certainly not.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions I can do to resolve this?
 
Much thanks...

You might want to look into the threads about the wheel alignment issues on honda civics. At least in the Hybrids their a service bulletin to repair and wheel alignment. I had some rear hard vibration, especially as i picked up on speed. New tires will resolve for a bit, but the tires will wear out uneven again.
 
The vibration is being caused by the uneven wear on the tires. At least in my car it was, rear tires were excessively being worn on the inside edge of tires. Check your tires to see they show uneven wear, inside or outside edge or even look lick bumps or not smooth.
 
Hope this provides you with additional info on what else to look into!
