    NOCO GB20 vs GB40

    I wonder what the difference is between the two? On paper the specs are the same except for the output amps. Maybe it has different batteries in it? But the weight and dimensions are identical.

    Replaced rear shocks

    Replaced the rear shocks in my 2010 Civic this weekend. One was leaking a little bit so I thought it was time. Went with the KYB Excel-G. Besides not have Honda stamped in them they look 100% identical in every way. $40/pc sure beats $130 for the Honda version. I noticed the new shocks...

    2010 Civic R18 under valve cover pics

    I replaced the valve cover gasket and spark plugs on my recently new to me 2010 Civic. Got the car at 118k, now has 125k miles. The car had an aftermarket valve cover gasket that was slightly weeping oil and Autolite spark plugs. 🤮 Now has an OEM valve cover gasket (only $10) and NGK plugs. I'm...

    Honda Civic A/C compressor

    I have a 2010 Honda Civic LX with the 1.8L engine. The ac compressor is making a sort of buzzing/vibration/bearing noise. The noise doesn't change at all with the ac off or running. AC works perfectly. With the serpentine belt off, the compressor pulley has a decent amount of play in it. I'm...

    Exhaust leak when cold

    Recently got my wife a 2010 Civic LX with 118k miles on it. I've noticed that when you cold start it the engine sounds louder than normal for the first mile or so then is quiet for the rest of the day until you start it from cold again. My best guess is it sounds like an exhaust leak. The...

    Accident

    My wife was in an accident in her 2008 Civic two days ago. The other car hit her pretty much head on going approximately 40 mph, she was basically stopped. She is sore and bruised up but doing just fine. The car is too far gone to fix. The battery and radiator were ripped out of the car and...

    Honda CR-V P0171

    Working on a 2011 CRV with a code P0171. The engine has an audible vacuum leak and runs a bit rough at idle. It seems like the hose going to the pcv valve has a leak in it but I can't see it very well as it goes under the intake manifold. If I move the hose around the engine runs better/worse...

    Wheel bearing going bad

    I have a wheel bearing starting to make noise on the driver's side of our 2012 Honda Odyssey. (Noise goes away when turning left) Any tips for determining if it's the front or rear? It isn't loud enough to tell. Neither wheel has play or anything unusual.

    Cost to replace brake shoes

    Was curious what a shop (dealer or independent) would charge to replace the rear brake shoes on a 2008 Honda Civic. Using Honda brake shoes and reusing the drums.

    Honda shock leaking

    I just took my 2010 Honda Civic out of winter storage (~5 months) and noticed one of the rear shocks is leaking. It looks fresh so I assume it is recent. Drove to work today, 54 miles total, and it doesn't seem to be leaking anymore. Would storing a car cause the shock to leak? Is it possible...

    Purge valve solenoid

    On my 2008 Honda Civic (1.8L) the purge solenoid valve is making a fairly loud ticking noise at low idle. Anything above low idle and the noise goes away 100%. Today I unplugged the valve when it was ticking and the noise went away, plug it back in and the noise comes right back. So I know it is...

    Rear brake caliper - parking brake

    I have a 2008 Honda Civic EX with rear disk brakes. I noticed that when you pull the e-brake the right rear wheel locks up but the left rear wheel can still spin. I took the center console apart and verified that the left cable is functioning. I also checked to make sure the cable is attached...

    Fram oil filter leaking

    I change the oil in my wife's friends 2011 Honda CRV. She came over Friday to have me change the oil. Last time I changed it I used a Fram oil filter. The oil had about 8000 miles on it. I pull the car in, get it jacked up and notice there is a good size puddle of oil on the garage floor...

    A/C Compressors

    Does anyone know why in newer cars you don't feel a power loss when the a/c kicks on but older cars you do? In my 05 accord I can definitely feel a power loss but in my 08 and 10 Civic I feel nothing. Is it that newer compressors are more efficient or does the electronic throttle compensate for it?

    ABS codes

    The abs light came on today in my 2005 Honda Accord. I decided to go to oriellys to have them scan the code but it turned off on the way there. Does anyone know if abs codes are stored in the computer after the light goes out? (I went to oriellys anyways but they didn't have an abs reader...)...

    Buying OEM tie rods

    I have a 2005 Honda Accord (197k miles) and the tie rods make a little squeaking noise when turning the wheel back and forth. Can only hear it when stopped or going really slow. So my plan is to replace the tie rods but I was wondering if I bought OEM outer tie rods and counted the turns could...

    Burning smell from rear wheel

    I have a burning like smell coming from the right rear wheel on my 2005 Honda Accord. It's a LX so it has rear drum brakes. It's a faint smell and probably wouldn't be noticable to the average person. The left rear doesn't smell. The car has 194k miles and I am pretty sure the drums and shoes...

    Honda airbag recall

    I have a 2005 Accord that just got recalled for the passenger side airbag. In 2016 I took it in and they replaced both the drivers and passenger side airbag. It is crazy how many airbags they are replacing.
