Hi, looking to see what remote start options there are for the 2016 Civic, automatic. I'm pretty car inclined and would install this myself but curious is anything required from the dealer in regards to software/programming? I have not installed a remote start in a newer car now with all these...
To give an update. Car has been at the dealership since Monday. The gasket is apparently replaced. They are waiting for Honda, Canada to come back on the verdict for the starter.
Can't believe this is taking this long even thought I've provided pictures of the units internals and the state of...
The Gasket is being covered but they won’t hear about the starter.. the car started fine.. yes of course it did after I cleaned part of it.
What a piss off. Gonna call Honda Canada.
What exactly am I supposed to do with this link? I extracted the zip, see a Firefox portable.exe file? Nothing really happens. Trying to run this under Windows 7. Am I supposed to put something else in those folders or is this it and it should just run?
Will try your link. I’m using the other one that I found on here that opens a web browser and links to certain areas but the links between seem to be broken etc. Not a very user friendly manual compared to my BMW service manual I got.
I’ll try your link, I do use a Mac but also have windows...
For sure, use the pictures. Also I took a bunch more pictures of the rear of engine as best I could to capture the oil leak to show them if they fight me. Let me know if you want those too. Let me know the link and I can chime in as well for the removal of the starter as the service manual...
cleaned up the starter a bit earlier and re-assembled it. Put everything back together left all those body shields etc.off. Car cracked like nothing. Fired right up. Drove it around all well.
Will let it set for a few hours and try again tonight and then let it sit overnight and try again tmr...
I stopped by the dealer this am. Got an appointment Monday 8am for them to look at this. Warranty person is in Monday too. Also got a price from them for all the components, starter $300, gasket $40 and Honda Bond $25. I’m in Atlantic Canada :)
Going to put the starter back together and drive...
Thanks and I see the chart you posted. Since I’m deep in this job now and it being the weekend I don’t really want to put this back together to find with them to replace it.. how does this typically work with warranty?
can I replace the starter and gasket and then get them to reimburse or would...
For anyone with future issues. I have a very similar problem with the starting. After finding this thread and taking the starter apart. Same issue appears to be. '16 Civic EX, 81k kilometres (50k miles). Tried new battery no go. This was particular after the car sat for a while it the first...
I appreciate your help and really pointing me in the right direction for this.
This is my original thread I started couple of days ago due to this issue. If your interested in reading, you will see its quite similar symptoms to then you linked me to...
Through more searching online I found a couple of threads one which lead to me getting to the starter and realizing that my valve cover gasket is leaking bad. The leak is from the rear os it cannot be seen easy from the hood but you have to get under it. In turn the starter is drenched in oil...
Car has 81k kilometres (50k miles)
here is some inside shots of starter. Gunked up, hardened grease, the brushes are somewhat seized within their housing.. but they move.
I tested the starter with my 12volt battery and it spins so..
Wow this thing is hidden in there.. I don’t even understand how one removes this thing without removing half the front end shit.. like who came up with this.
The unit does have oil on the body of it.. I can’t even access the plugs to clean things off..
Can someone explain to me a couple of things. While looking at a certain part, ie. SM_17.pdf why does it appear the same instruction is listed like 3 times within that pdf? Like the Removal/Install of the Starter.. it shows it as 3 times and its the same descriptions, am I not understanding...
