    For context, I have some DIY experience on Hondas but I'm not a real mechanic. The most involved job I've ever done was rotors + brake pads on a Fit. Pretty sure I've diagnosed failing wheel bearings on my front wheels; there's play in all four directions on the wheels when the car is jacked...

    DIY installing a replacement interior rearview mirror for my 2018 Honda Accord The mirror mounting does not use a screw. It uses three clips in a rectangular pattern I was able to get the previous mirror off by removing the skirt, disconnecting the attached cable and praying the old unit off...

    Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time posting. Took my 2008 Honda Accord into the shop yesterday to get an alignment and they told me they couldn't do it because my front, passenger side control arm and ball joints are shot. The car has 141k miles on it so it is kind of expected. I'm...

    Here's a (long) video I created on how to do this job yourself with hand tools. This is the Youtube link below: HOW TO REPLACE WHEEL BEARING on your own. Job is not too bad - the diagnosis was the trouble on this repair for my car. It's a long video. Please feel free to fast fwd over slower...
  5. Maintenance & Detailing
    I got my hands on a new 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid EX-L. I wanted to put a ceramic coat on it to protect the new paint for a few years. I called around and most places wanted $1,000 as a base price, which did not include any paint correction or other prep costs. So, with fair knowledge and...

    Background Transmission does not output much power during cold start, and will get quite worse in Winter(Toronto, -10C): the car does not move at all when shifted into either D or R. This issue was reported by several members on the form. Even in optimum operating temperature, when giving a...

    Hoping our 8th gen community has an answer to this! Over the last couple of months, my accord has progressively been having a really hard time "starting" (2008 3.5L V6 AT 150k). Starting the engine is hardest when the car has been sitting in hot weather but I'm noticing that it doesn't matter...

    So i do a monthly inspection and i see this: I think "no biggie, i've got that warranty with the dealer". And as you probably already suspected: it's not covered. I've been in there three times with issues and none of them were covered. I wonder what even is covered with this warranty the...

    It's about time for me to switch out my spark plugs on my Accord and was curious which you guys were running and how you felt about them. Really curious if the NGK Ruthenium HX ($8.46) and Laser Iridium ($9.05) are worth their price over the Iridium IX ($5.11).

    I'm a relatively new Accord owner and I'm wanting to change the transmission fluid on my '17 V6 Accord. Obviously I don't want to screw this up so I wanted to ask a few questions before I got down into it. Where exactly is the ATF drain plug located? And what size socket do I need to use? What...

    I have a 2018 LX, and I want to replace or modify my NON-heated stock mirrors with HEATED ones. I've done a lot of research and know the stock wiring harness isn't going to be plug-and-play (sadly). The additional (2) wires aren't in the LX harness. That said, would it be possible to replace...

    Hello I am moving from California to New Mexico for school and plan on taking my car. I drive a 2006 Honda Accord, 2.4L 4 cylinder engine. Mileage is ~141000. The road trip is ~1115 miles, and the Honda has no history of engine problems, accidents, or other issues. I plan on changing out the...

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 Coupe EX-LV6, so it has the "premium" sound system, which I quickly realized is not premium at all in how it sounds. Since I'm in the car at least 2 hours every weekday, I really want to upgrade the audio system, but I don't know where to start. I want to do things one...

    I am working on my wife's 2012 V6 Accord Coupe Automatic. I am a long-time wrench turner but for almost a decade I have been a European-only guy, so I am not exactly super familiar with the idiosyncrasies of Honda/Acura or even Asian makes. The car is sitting right at 59K miles and I was tasked...

    So a screw decided to commit suicide in my tire yesterday and I wanted to do a video on a tire tool I use called the Dynaplug. I also show how to properly plug a tire and the situations when you may not want to repair the tire that way. Enjoy!

    Owner of a 2015 Honda Accord Sport manual transmission. I work in a garage so I do all my maintenance myself. I have roughly 46k on it already, and I notice that I was getting vibration and a squealing sounds from my braking system. So I brought my car in and put it in the air. I did a lateral...
