#540 of 1114 Re: Headlights Dim with A/C Condenser ON [canddmeyer] by rich505 Jul 13, 2008 (2:58 pm)
Replying to: canddmeyer (Jul 13, 2008 12:21 pm) I was just commenting on the fact that Toyota only fixed the "problem" either in my 87 Tacoma. They always called it a "heat soak" problem even though it would do it during in the winter as well. It wasn't serious, just an inconvenience. If it died on a restart you had to let it crank for 2-3 seconds. It was almost as if the mixture got too rich or was fuel starved.   The flying fickle finger of fate determined if would occur depending on outside temperature, how warmed up the engine was. and how long it had been off.
#541 of 1114 Oil Change by mazda6dude Jul 14, 2008 (12:31 pm)
I have 8,000 miles on my accord the oil life is at 15%. I want to know if its safe to go till 10% or even 5% to change the oil? Any suggestions and feedback would be appreciate. Replies to this message: rich505 (Jul 14, 2008 1:05 pm) ljgbjg (Jul 15, 2008 1:07 am) thegraduate (Jul 14, 2008 11:14 pm)

Replying to: mazda6dude (Jul 14, 2008 12:31 pm) 15% is preferred, but DEFINITELY get it done before you wind down to zero.

Replying to: rich505 (Jul 14, 2008 1:05 pm) An historically good practice but we are talking about break in oil here, which Honda recommends be left in for the full time according to the computer.
#545 of 1114 Rattling noise in cabin by back window by ehamilto55 Jul 15, 2008 (12:07 pm)
I have a 2008 Honda Accord and have about 6K miles on it. I have just noticed that when I hit a bump or go over railroad tracks I hear a Rattle inside the cabin. It sounds like it is the rear brake light in the window. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to check it? I can not find a way to the light and I do not see any clamps or bolts that might be loose. Please help the noise is driving me crazy. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 15, 2008 12:13 pm)

Replying to: ehamilto55 (Jul 15, 2008 12:07 pm) Check under the parcel shelf/speaker shelf in the trunk for anything hanging loose that could rattle... just a thought.   If not, take it to the dealer and let THEM figure it out. For $20k + it is the least they can do.   Let us know what you find out.

Replying to: ljgbjg (Jul 15, 2008 1:10 pm) My experience has been the noises from the back come from the cheap styrofoam jack holder. This holder can rotate and its back-right hand corner can be rubbing against the trunk wall. Replies to this message: macsan (Jul 16, 2008 6:44 pm)
