    I reckon you should use the search function :) some decent chats about the exhaust manifold issue, the cost of a clutch and dmf, the timing chain stretching etc etc etc

    They're a decent engine. Honda cover the manifold issue. Any dmf problems affect all diesels, chain stretch - never met anyone it affected. I know many people with this engine, one or two with not far off 200k miles, no issues. Can't say the same for any other make.

    a full (honda) service history is absolutely vital., else walk well away.

    regular oil changes are a must also, overwise you better off with a petrol.

    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wonder if anyone mentioned the faulty VSA module to you before you bought (presume you bought?).

    Mine has just packed up on a '08 accord diesel, quoted €1700+ to fix a gadget I don't even need. Honda told me they won't cover it cos my mileage is >100k, even though they admit the bloody mileage has nothing to do with the problem.

    Now I've to pi$$ a fortune down the drain just to turn off a dashboard light for the NCT shower.

    Fuming. FUMING :mad:
    Rant over
