No, both seemed to be the same temperature for me (which coincidentally was about the same temperature as the air inside the car, since it was on recirc).
I just took my car to the dealership for the oil dilution fix, but also had a similar problem with air conditioning. They needed to replace the AC condenser and recharge the refrigerant. I'm just outside of the warranty, and they were able to get some 'goodwill' repair assistance from Honda...
It's likely unrelated. There's well-documented issues with the A/C in the 10th gen civics. I coincidentally had the same thing happen to my A/C right before getting it in for this work. Sadly, I'm a few thousand miles and 4 months out of warranty. They are doing a recharge and replacing the...
In my Civic, I used to have a subscription for SiriusXM that included all of the channels. Now that I've scaled it down, I've noticed that there are certain things that are a pain. When trying to flip through channels, if I come across one that isn't part of my subscription package, it...
This is always a tough one to say, because at the end of the day, when you pay for a dealership tech to work on your car, you're not paying a different rate based on how complex that work is. You're paying someone trained to do something much more complex to do menial work. Paying someone like...
It's a well done video, and I appreciate that he goes into the additional explanation as to why this is important. More than just being able to do these things, I like being able to understand what's going on, and it helps for that.
That looks like a good video - thanks for sharing. Once I got past the thick Philly accent in a stretch where he said "water" like 20 times in a minute, it was smooth sailing. Should be helpful in doing this!
Has anyone done this on their Civic yet who is willing to provide a write-up on the subject? It's due with my next oil change and this is something I've never done on my own before. Any advice on the subject would be appreciated.
I do keep it on high accuracy all the time - I went with some quality cables, but I can try swapping for a different one, just in case there was a bum cable in the batch. As the new phone is USB-C rather than MicroUSB, it's definitely an entirely new set of cables, so it could always be...
Hi All -
I recently upgraded my phone (from a Droid Turbo 2 to a Droid Z2 Force), and have had problems getting Android Auto to consistently work since. Most of the time, it's fine. Maybe 2-3 times a week, I plug in the cable, the charging indicator goes on in the phone, but it never...
I changed mine after 15k miles, and it was a shitshow. Looked like an entire carpeted floor had shed into it, I almost have to imagine that there was something left around during the manufacturing process that it sucked up. I take a look occasionally, and several thousand miles later, I don't...
Did you have the tires rotated with the 7,500 mile oil change? Chances are, especially if so, whoever changed your oil didn't reset the maintenance minder appropriately. Although as mentioned above, if it's been a year on the same oil, regardless of mileage, that would trigger the service to...
It's not a good habit to get into, but I don't think you're going to brick your engine from doing that once. But as mentioned, a used oil analysis can be a good tool to tell you more about both your engine itself and the oil in it.
Without having any idea what anyone may or may not have done (unless they provided maintenance records with the car), it's a good piece of mind investment to get it changed. It might still be fine. But it also might not. That's the real danger of any used vehicle - the last owner could have...
I would certainly hope that the average driver without this system does not rear-end someone more than once every five years. If you're going by a pure financial perspective, unless you're a really dangerous driver, that's a bad measure.
There is a point to be made that it would reduce the...
FWIW, to deny a warranty claim, they would have to prove that the failure to provide adequate maintenance caused the problem that you're making a claim for.
Had you left the oil in there for 20,000 miles and bricked your engine with the hardened sludge? Absolutely they will deny a warranty...
