  1. Rattling Ac Compressor.could it need replacement

    I bought this car second hand 3 yrs ago and it has a rattle noise when compressor is engaged on and off. It's been like that a long time. I have to top it off with yf refrigerant once in the blue moon and have added small amounts of compatible yf pag oil and it seems to help for a short time...

  4. Almost new Nokian wgr4 tire weathercracking

    I bought these off Facebook marketplace 2 months ago. They came with brand new labels and were stored inside dot 1118. I've starting to notice cracking long the side of them now. They also seem to be noisy and I checked my wheel bearings
  5. Did a rear rotor swap, Electronic Brake Problem -- Dealership says REPLACE ENTIRE CALIPER???

    Probably damaged the wire harness. I did my rear brakes yesterday using a foxwell nt710, even in service mode I had the same issue, but when I drove it and cleared the codes it was fine. These wire harnesses are fragile and I took care to avoid putting too much strain on them
  6. Experiences with aftermarket Ac compressors/condensers?

    That might be a bit much. The new compressors usually come prefilled and you add that much before installation
  7. Experiences with aftermarket Ac compressors/condensers?

    H Have u added any pag oil to the system?
  8. Experiences with aftermarket Ac compressors/condensers?

    I have to top off my Ac every once in a while. Compressor makes noise at times, I added about 1.5oz yf pag oil, helped a little bit, but I cannot find any leaks with my UV light. My car came with a condenser bent but Ac still works but I still cannot find a leak. Would it be wise to get an...
  9. I got stuck with fake NGK Iridium spark plugs

    There usually isn't a big price difference on plugs from an authorized dealer. I never buy plugs off eBay especially if they are too cheap. I changed mine at around 191000km and the gap of the old plugs was about the same. 0.045". I decided to go with the ruthenium plugs. They were cheaper than...
  10. Transmission damage after installing new axles

    So far it's been just over 80000km and it's still fine. Some of the epoxy is starting to peel back at the bottom because it wasn't properly cleaned. My inner boot on the aftermarket axle is almost cracked through. I got a quote from a rebuilder who charges $110 each to fix the old ones. I want...
  11. Brake master cylinder

    Did u clean out all the old brake fluid? It may appear that it is still leaking. Usually OEM mastercylinders don't fail. I've seen the aftermarket ones fail more
  12. Master cylinder leaking into booster

    No issue. It was just some overflowing brake fluid from the last brake job I did. If u wanna be certain, take the hose that goes into the brake booster, use a large zip tie that will reach the bottom and see if there is fluid
  13. Civic AC and compressor noise

    It's the Ac compressor that makes noise when the compressor is engaged with Ac on. It sounds like a rattling noise. I couldn't feel any movement in the pulley with a prybar
  14. Very small coolant weep near thermostat housing rad hose

    It's not noticeable until u drive it at least a few thousand km and see dried blue staining. This is the outcome of driving at least 15000km since last cleaning it. Is it worth taking the hose off and cleaning both mating surfaces
  15. Aftermarket brakes.

    I've had OEM Honda pads squeak too. You can use a red paste called disc brake quiet by CRC. I've done tons of brake jobs, anytime I have a squeak this stuff makes it go away, and it's fairly cheap
  16. Axle seal leaking after replacing

    It's a dealer only part at least in canada
  17. Axle seal leaking after replacing

    Back in July I replaced my passenger side axle and then replaced the seal because it started leaking after. After installing the seal I realized I didn't install it flush but it wasnt leaking. I decided to get another, and pushed it all the way in to where the lip stops. It barely seeped but...
  18. Transmission damage after installing new axles

    Update. It's been over 42k and it still hasn't leaked. I did have to replace the axle again and seal on the other side. I'm always worried one day it still might fail. It looks worse in the picture than in real life i talked to a mechanic I know, and he told me he knows a good welder who can...
  19. Axle seal installed too deep

    Ive seen conflicting information online. Some say push it in more than flush, others say flush. I took the seal I installed yesterday out with my fingers easy thanks to the grease, cleaned it up, used black silicone on the side, drove it and it's fine.
  20. Axle seal installed too deep

    I replaced the seal and CV axle about two weeks ago. Driven about 1500-2000km since then with no leaks. I pulled out the new axle twice over two weeks. First time only looked off by a hair but today I noticed it was pushed in one side a good 2mm or more. I only installed this by hand, and I...
