  1. SRS airbag light keeps coming on

    I have seen periodic posts about this but with other models and I was wondering if anyone else has had this come up ? When I start my car, the airbag light comes on with a warning that says "SRS Airbag". This does not happen all the time though. I'll just drive the car, then next time I start...
  2. CVT fluid plug popping out

    Yesterday I noticed that my CVT plug was out. At first I thought it was not replaced when I had the CVT fluid changed, however; it appears that the pressure can be great enough to push out the plug. Upon further examining, it seems that this is very common due to the vent plug which is position...
  3. B4 service ?

    The B4 service code just popped up on my car. I have about 102,000 miles on it so far. The items are: Replace spark plugs, timing belt (if equipped), inspect water pump, and inspect valve clearance. The spark plugs are easy enough and I am familiar with it and how to do it. In the past for my...
  4. A/C issues post repair

    I was curious for anyone who has had their a/c fixed. I have read several threads and have seen the common issues with the a/c. Mine started having issues, and based on what I have seen, it seems like it lasted longer than most. My car is a 2017 and has almost 90k miles on it. Same as everyone...
  5. Safelite experience?

    Driving today the windshield took another good hit and this time created a crack. I am debating if I want to fix it or just replace it... It looks like safelite online is quoting around $500. Is safelite better quality than Honda OEM glass? The OEM glass really damages easily. Just curious for...
  6. Honda Civic Type R fell off rack

    Looks like basic service and the rack failed. I change the oil in my car without lifting it at all. Just reaching under. I've always had a phobia about getting under a lifted car. Good thing no one was hurt...
  7. 2020 Civic or Acura ILX

    I currently have a 2017 Civic EX. It has over 50k miles on it all highway. Someone I know is considering getting rid of their car and was interested in mine since I have taken good care of it and it has a good amount of miles and did not want to buy new. I am considering selling it, but I was...
  8. High mileage vs regular oil?

    My car has about 50k miles. Have stay on top of all oil changes. Is there any benefits to using high mileage? It's not yet 75k. Does high mileage have a more additives vs regular? I'd be willing to lose mpg and pay more for more additives and greater engine wear protection
  9. E-Brake error

    Few infrequently (once a month if that), my car when I turn it off is fine but when I turn it back on it appears there was some type of e-break error and shows the red brake icon. I just generally toggle off and on the e-brake and everything is fine. This seems to happen randomly and with the...
  10. Civic LX maintenance minder reset

    For the trims higher than the LX you can either toggle through the menu or the touch screen to individually reset maintenance minder stuff. For example B12. You can reset just 2, so it will be B1. The LX is a different set up though. Is there a way to reset individual components vs. the entire...
  11. NYT: More than 2 dozen people killed by carbon monoxide after leaving on their keyless cars

    http://money.cnn.com/2018/05/13/news/keyless-car-deaths-carbon-monoxide-new-york-times/index.html People have been poisoned by carbon monoxide due to leaving their car running from the "keyless" feature. I personally cannot say I have done this. Anyone accidentally leaving their car running ...
  12. Inner windshield ghosting

    I've tried multiple times to get the ghosting off the inside of the windshield. After I get done it looks clean however once it fogs or light hits it a certain way I can see streaks. Edit: finally found a working solution.
  13. Tire pressure warm or cold?

    This air gauge I used says set tires +4 psi if warm. The door says 32 psi all around. Should the tires be 32 after the car has been sitting overnight cold or 32 after I've been driving for 40 min?
  14. Hood gaps

    I'll have to add a picture later on but I thought I'd just ask this. When standing front of the car and looking at the hood and look at the gaps on the sides of the hoods I noticed that the gaps on the left side is slightly more narrow that the right side. The gaps where the hood sits are not...
  15. Honda/Toyota reliability vs other mfgs ?

    I was having this discussion and it's probably one that to find the answer you'd have to review TSB data over time, but that probably still does not change perception. Back in the 80s Honda and Toyota brought a level of quality from their engineering and JIT concepts which was superior to other...
  16. Transmission fluid never changed...

    I'll admit in this area I am not familiar, but I figured I'd toss this out and see what feedback/suggestions would be. I was talking to someone who has a Corolla that is approx. 11 years old and around 116,000 miles. The car has had routine service, however; I don't believe they ever changed the...
  17. Spraying out the engine bay

    I opened up the hood yesterday and it was completely full of dust and what appeared to be sand like substance. I probably drove through a construction zone or many and the weather and air here has been extremely dry to the point where the intake filter I just changed after 7,000 miles...
  18. Key fob went through washer AND dryer

    I left my key fob in my clothes and it went through the washer AND dryer. Surprisingly it works and no issues.
  19. LED headlights swap

    Has anyone seen these before ? I came across them on ebay and they look like they are pseudo touring LED headlights that are a swap for non-touring models. I thought I saw a link for these before, but I cannot find it...
