TPMS 2008 Accord EX L with 4 steel rims by cdavidc1
Nov 23, 2008 (7:54 am)
Reply
I installed 4 steel rims on this car without the TPMS sensors installed and to my surprise the TPMS does not stay lit all the time. I was under the impression that without the sensors the light would stay on. The light comes on at engine start but goes out in a few seconds. The snow tires I bought were Bridgestone Blizak WS 60 225/50/17
they seem very good in snow and are very quiet on the highway. If anyone wants good snow tires I think they should have at look at these.

Does anyone know where I can find more info and instructions on claying the car? Will that get rid of the rain spots too? Thanks.

Are these Honda pads that you get for less than $50? And where do you get them from? Thanks.

Navi Screen Problem on 08 EXL V6 by parviz

My navigation screen has lately started not to come on every time when I start the car. It usually comes on after I play around with the manual day/light/off switch for the navi screen. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Leather cracking open - 08 EXL by parviz

The driver side leather is showing some tiny gashes on the front side. I am not sure if it will get worse and not sure why it is happening. May be from using the seat heat? Any ideas?

I get all of my maintenance stuff from this site. I will usually buy a six-pack of oil filters, air filters (cabin, engine) wiper refills, etc. to last for a while, to cut down on shipping costs. Even when the shipping is added, it's less than the dealership, and I don't have to leave home. My parts come to me.

A claybar will improve the finish, but it's not a miracle worker. If the spots have been there for a couple of years, clay will not take it all out. That would probably require sanding. That is a very wimpy claybar. The Mother's claybar is much thicker.

Just part of the process. . . Actually there is a lot to be said for rubbing on that finish with power tools. Don't expect miracles with whatever you use. You can only shine up whats there.

I have had two Honda Accord's, and my sister has a new CR-V, and none of these cars have ever used a drop of oil. This is not normal for you Honda with only 15k to be using any oil. If I were you I would be dealing with the Corporation. Any dealer is going to try to blow you off and tell you it's normal.
