Unfortunately they can't be held responsible for the past money you have put into it. If they recalled and fixed the recall, their job is done. If that was the case,we wouldn't need parts stores cause everyone would be suing the auto

the rotor issue is a common thing on this car we believe the rotors for the frt are to small for the vehicle as far as the pads if you are braking harder it will wear out the pads from the rotors being to small

SOURCE: Rear Differential Fuild change after 9500 miles?

Ok this is a simple question guys. There will be a number code on your dash with the oil life. The number will be a 5, which means differential flush. If you choose to ignore this, after a while the back end of the car will shudder when you are making turns. If you wait to long you will destroy the differential. So just get it changed when you get the maintenance code 5. It always comes with either an A or B. It is better to get it serviced at a Honda dealer. Good luck.

SOURCE: My tensioner broke in my 2004 Honda Civic. The

a valve job shouldn't cost as much as a new head, they ( being the dealer) should know which valves are bad , and should give you an estimate before any work is done, also,, is it all the cylinders that have no compression ? I doubt thats the case but those with no compression should be the ones that valves or even pushrods could be damaged, Its pretty doubtful that the cylinder or pistons are damaged unl;es you drove the car a lot after the damage happened, which again is pretty doubtful

I have a 2003 toyota highlander with 4 cylinder and the head gasket has a leak. I read that this is a common problem on the 2003 highlanders. To get it fixed is so expensive. Do you know if there has...

The head gaskets blow out due to the head bolts pulling out of the block resulting in stripped threads on most of the holes in the block, there is no recall even though this is a known problem, Toyota did fix some of them under the normal power train warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles. There are several videos and instructions on how some people fixed this problem without replacing the engine block. In any case it's a very expensive repair,.

Need to replace Serpentine belt and p/s belt on my 2002 honda odyssey is this complicated?

the procedure is as follows:-- You have to do it from underneath the vehicle. Take off the rivets to the two plastic covers, and then you will be able to see the tensioner for the belt. Use a 3/4 inch wrench on the tensioner (don't put it on the bolt that holds the tensioner on), and pull it toward the vehicle. The belt will loosen, and you can take it off. As a car owner, you know how important the belt tensioner is for your 2002 Honda Odyssey. However, internal parts wear and damage will loosen or seize the tensioner wheel, causing the belt to slip and make noise. Eventually, the belt may break, shut down the engine and lead you into a serious traffic accident. Before that happens, replace the tensioner on your Honda model and save yourself a lot of problems:---- Remove the Drive Belt:-- 1)Look for the drive belt routing diagram on your vehicle's engine compartment. This is a black and white label, about 4 by 6 inches, usually attached to the radiator shroud or near the strut towers inside the engine compartment. This diagram will be your guide when reinstalling the drive belt. If cannot find one, make a simple sketch on a piece of paper. 2) Insert a belt-tension release tool, or similar tool, into the auto-tensioner arm. 3)Rotate the auto-tensioner arm counterclockwise and slip the belt off the tensioner pulley. 4) Release the auto-tensioner but do not let it snap back in place. 5) Remove the drive belt from the engine compartment. Replace the Belt Tensioner 1) Unscrew the two auto-tensioner mounting bolts using a ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. Note the location of each bolt because they are of different size. 2) Remove the old auto-tensioner from the engine compartment. 3) Set the new auto-tensioner in place and start the two mounting bolts by hand. Make sure you install the bolts in their original place. 4) Start tightening the bolts until they hit the stop using the ratchet, ratchet extension and socket. 5) Torque the two bolts using a torque wrench. Torque the small bolt to 16-foot pounds [22 Nm] and the large bolt to 47-foot pounds [64 Nm]. This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution positively .thank you for using fixya

The inner belt drives the generator, power steering pump, coolant pump and air conditioning compressor. All driven accessories are rigidly mounted to the engine. Drive belt tension is maintained by the spring loaded belt tensioner. Each belt has its own tensioner.
Remove: Place a jack with a block of wood on it under oil pan to support engine. Caution : Be sure the wood block extends past the width of the oil pan to avoid damage.

Crank shaft sensor

I have 10 years experience in a Nissan dealership and I know without a shadow of a doubt that the Crankshaft Position Sensor is NOT located next tp the crank pulley... it is rather at the other end of the engine near where the transmission bellhousing bolts to the engine block. It is on the side toward the firewall near the bottom. Even if you can get the vehicle on a lift and get under it, you can't really see it... It's more of a feel thing... There was a campaign (recall) on these engines to replace Crank Position and also Cam Postion sensors. Check with your dealer- the campaign might be open. You will need your VIN number when you call.

How do I release belt tension to replace alternator?

Hi,according to what year you have.Look for either an adjusting bolt and through bolt at the alternator.Loosen both and push the alternator back.If it has an extra pulley look for a belt adjusting bolt close to this pulley.You have to loosen the bolt that goes through the front of this pulley.(the bolt that holds the pulley to engine).Then turn the adjuster to loosen belt.Some of the later models have automatic belt tensioners.You have to put a wrench on the tensioner pulley bolt and relieve the spring pressure.I hope this helps!!!Please rate this answer.Thanks and Good Luck!!!

How do you put in transmission fluid?

Unfortunately, you have a closed system transmission, there is no dipstick or filler tube. I have a 96 passport and to have fluid replaced in the transmission you need to take it to a garage that is equipped to fill closed transmissions. This generally runs about $100.00 at the dealership. I was on my way to get my transmission serviced when the trans broke. Don't wait long if you're having issues.
