OEM Emergency Air Pump Faulty

[voiddweller]

I went to add air to my tires using the OEM pump and it doesn't build enough pressure. It took 10 minutes to add 3 lbs of air to one tire when my cheap HF $15 pump (that's half the size) did it in a minute.

I've never had an accessory fail. Do I need to take the whole car into the a dealer to get this replaced or just take in the pump?

Thanks.

Call your dealership and ask them...

Those kits are next to useless.. and yes, the pump takes for ever to pump up the tire.
better have your engine running !!! or you will also flatten the battery - just to add to your bad day !

I bought a high quality pump that is smaller.
Viair I think it’s called.

The one I referenced in the original post wasn't HF, it was AccuTire: https://www.homedepot.com/p/ACCUTIR...t-300-psi-12-Volt-Compressor-MS5530/204488019 Not as nice as the Viair, but I'm happy with it.

I picked it up a while ago and throw it in whatever car I'm taking on a road trip. The readings were identical to my Longacre 52008. It gets a little hot with prolonged use but it hasn't quit after a year and is ultra compact. My father in law is a hydraulic engineer and he has the same one. Loves it for the portability.

A good friend uses his OEM Focus RS air pump with all his cars. It looks similar but feels and sounds like a better quality pump.

Regarding the OEM Honda pump, I'm going to take the original suggestion and call the local Honda dealer tomorrow to see what they say about getting a replacement.

85P so I can use 12 volt adapter.
The quality is very high, comes with high quality case, and pumps very very fast. Used to buy cheap ones and never noticed how slow they are until I got the 85P.

I have two of these, but on my MDX the summer they overheat and shut off. So I went viair which is meant to work fast, but also has cooling fins for the motor. Had one for each car, now I have viair for each car.
