| 89500 mi US $735 |
Bad fuel pump - made car almost impossible to start. |
| 92300 mi US $130 |
Low to little heat on driver side, good heat on passenger side. Dealer suspects a partially clogged heater core, however appears incapable of ruling out faulty blender doors. Dealer reported they added a missing screw - symptoms remain. |
| 140000 mi | The engine does not run well. It sounds and feels like a diesel engine, very rough. The dealer did the 120k mile service before we bought it, including plugs, wires, tune-up, etc. I have noticed other Hondas this age and mileage with a similar feel. |
| 153000 mi | Coolant leaking from engine. Diagnosis is bad water pump that will fail soon. Have not repaired. Losing a few ounces of coolant per week. |
| 160000 mi US $20 |
Coolant continues to disappear. Earlier diagnosis of failing water pump probably wrong. Filled to the MAX line it will drain halfway to the MIN line within the day and level off. Possibly a cracked overflow tank, but haven't verified. |
| 165000 mi US $957 |
Replaced water pump (leaking). Replaced timing belt and tensioner (also leaking), drive belt, and coolant. This was off maintenance cycle by about 50k miles both ways. Last replacement around 115k. |

| 12000 mi | Check engine light came on, then went off, then came on again. Finally gave in and went to the shop. Their test showed two failing O2 sensors. I'm glad the shop has the time to see it once, diagnose the problem then make me take the thing back to fix the problem. I don't have time for it. We still trust our Ody and plan to drive it into the ground. Our first Honda ('01 Accord LX) had ZERO pro |

oil pressure sensor, V-Tec Cam adjuster. I'm actually not sure the cam adjuster was bad as the symptoms (limp mode) was only cured after oil sensor replacement.

More on the "Humming/growling under load @ 2100 RPM" problem: Dealer installed a new "A" pipe (coming from exhaust manifold); was substantially more quiet for a few days, but the noise is returning.
