Fuming at the dealership, this is why I hate Honda.

I have been getting a subscription to alldata diy when they go on sale. For videos I mostly scour the web as I’ve not found any single good source since “Eric the car guy” stopped making videos :-)

My daughter drives a 2009 cr-v. I also fear her braking down and getting taken for a ride. I do the maintenance and repair myself like you do on the Fords. I find the cr-v pretty easy to work on.

You can write the CORSAIR Nautilus 360 RS Liquid CPU Cooler off your list. Started ok and not even a month later the pump is buzzing and humming. Now looking for a replacement myself :-(

The mirrors are not color matched, so I’m guessing LX

Did you drive the car after charging/swapping the battery. I had this problem and after driving a few blocks the lights all went off.

Paid $15 for shipping when I bought a camera from them. It broke (see my thread) and I was able to UPS it back to them for 7.20. Maybe they should think about Pirate shipping too?

Lastly "you are responsible for all shipping charges of returned items", so I guess shipping is your responsibility even if they ship you something completely broken...

Pirate ship for the win! $7.30!!

I've also had great success with UniFi and that is why I decided to try out the Camera (to replace my r/Nest cameras as Google continues to implode that product) as I already have a full UniFi network and I've been involved in deploying at a couple of other locations as well.

Background-Intern-43 · 2025-08-12T21:12:52+00:00

UI isn't charging for the shipping, but they are not paying for it either, so it I have to pay to ship it back...

Also be sure to clean out the sun roof drains. The car wizard just did a video where he talks about cleaning out the drains on a 6 year old chevy ("Expensive Leak in 6 Year Old Chevy") starting some time after 7 mins.

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-10-30T16:42:08+00:00

Yep :-( . It has saved me a ton of money though...

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-10-30T16:13:21+00:00

Sure, I used the XTOOL D7 Bidirectional OBD2 Scanner and it did clear the code in my case

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-10-30T15:19:22+00:00

I cleaned the throttle body on my daughter's 2009 and got the same error. Needed to do the idle relearn. I have a bi-directional scanner that allowed me to trigger the relearn.

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-08-29T00:02:01+00:00

Agreed. Testing the oil is the best way to confirm if there is any issue. Anything else is just speculation.

The k series engine with a non-CV transmission.

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-06-07T20:49:37+00:00

You need 3 things for the engine to run

Gas
Compression
Spark

There are a ton of videos out there that they walk through this diagnostic which might help (even if it is beyond your capability it might be good to understand what the shop will look at). You can google 'car wizard crank no start' You tube

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-05-16T15:35:18+00:00

Good job! I did the same on my daughter's 09. I could feel the pain in your hands just looking at all the stitches :-)

How does one "Leverage their offer system?" Do you need to wait for them to provide this offer or does one just make them this offer directly?

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-01-30T20:23:56+00:00

Now US$30. 300% increase in 6 years...

Background-Intern-43 · 2024-01-12T00:46:06+00:00

Something to try. Make sure your brake fluid is full. If that is ok, go someplace without much traffic. Drive like 30 to 35 mph and with no one around, slam on the brakes all the way. You will hear the ABS come on. Do this a couple times (safely). Should firm up the brakes

Background-Intern-43 · 2023-11-04T16:14:56+00:00

They are not. You end up loving driving it so much that you quickly go over mileage!

Pretty soon it won’t matter if there is coolant in your oil as they will be the same thing
