    The Jetta died at at stop today :/

    That is just mess up on so many different levels. No car is allowed to died before 200k miles with minor maintenances such as fluid changes and wearable components should only include brakes and tires while starter, alternator, and fuel pump should last over 200k miles or at least 15 years...

    Good cheap alternative to Honda coolant?

    Honda is blue for as long as I can remember. I see Wally has it for $30 online but I think it could be sold by someone else so I'll pass. I'll just pick it up at the stealership when I go that way, which is only 6 miles away but I don't come out there a lot. Maybe when I take my car in for...

    Good cheap alternative to Honda coolant?

    I know I can run M1 brake fluid in lieu of Honda brake fluid and same for oil. Honda ATF is actually not expensive so I use it even though I would jump to M1 ATF if it was recommended. But does anyone use aftermarket coolant instead of the high price Honda fluid?

    Are there any new sedans capable of 300k miles?

    If you don't have to have sedan, I would highly recommend Honda Fit. My 2012 Sport has 130k with no problems at all. All the belts, water pump, light bulbs, rear drum brake, and wiper blades are original and this area gets all 4 seasons on the extreme end of under 20 to upper 90. This...

    Running XG3593A (Accord) oil filter in Fit

    27, I think 3593 was the size that all Honda used at one point to keep things simpler during manufacturing. I was surprise when I pulled out the 7317 and even more surprised that it was a regular tough guard as I recall buying several for 10 bucks 2-3 years ago when BITOG crew rave about it...

    Possible fuel pump going bad?

    Try looking at main fuel replay module located under the steering column and next to the OB connector. My Accord didn't want to start sometime and Inthouht it was either starter or fuel pump but it turned out to be that $50 module. It is easy to replace if you have the right tools and are...

    Good replacement starter for 02 Accord V6

    Just want to give everyone an update on this repair. It turns out to be a main fuel relay module. Researxh shows it can be a common problem for Honda with over 175k miles. I changed it out and it has not failed to start yet. Hope this corrects it. Thank you all

    Good replacement starter for 02 Accord V6

    I think my 02 Accord V6 is showing signs of needing a starter. It won't start about 4 times this year and a long wait or light tap on the starter got the car started. I don't think it is a fuel pump or spark plug as the car runs smoothly,if you ignore the water pump going bad noise, on 3-5...

    Dumb question...oiling K&N cabin air filter

    Kinda ticked me off because I used a decent amount of oil on it too. I am probably going to take it out and clean it the oil off; I don’t want to risk sniffing cancerous fume.

    You're About To Drive Cross Country...

    Honda Fit’s weak spots are weak A/C that stop working in extreme heat or after 1.5 in regular heat amd the tiny gas tank that also requires frequent stops. If it doesn't have fog lights, then all of your lightings are have 2 single pioints of failure as the parking lights are useless. And the...

    Built Ford Tough

    Ford and Mazda make [censored] new tranny occasionally when they share platform. I know people with the Mazda version of that CUV with [censored] tranny. I myself lost a 626 due to tranny at 101k miles, warranty was 100k but I cant remember the year implication.

    Built Ford Tough

    I first fired up my Bronco that had sat for 7 years. The battery terminal cables didnt make good contacts so I put a jumper cable on them. I should have changed the old fluids but didnt get chance due to crazy commute. And it went ‘click..click..clack..prrrroommmhhh.’ That thing purrs like a...
