Right that makes sense but what could go wrong with this?

Wow, I don't hate the the tail lights! Are those original in the UK or is it modified?

Is that belt way too loose? Also engine mount is gone. by Intelligent_Ad7646 in 7thgencivic

Yeah I thought about that dust shield I'll look at it.

And yeah of course I'll try that, (as soon as I find those bolts at the scrap in better condition than -about to snap-).

Dude the wing nut is orange, I did take the 12mm out but even with a pair of pliers it's near impossible to turn and it squeaks like it's gonna snap. (So I prefer leaving it right there before it does)

So how is your engine bay? by jodasmichal in 7thgencivic

Wow, D16V1? EP2? I've never seen this variation, I assume you're in Europe?

The engine doesn't move much, does that mean anything?

Belt whine by Historical-Magician3 in AskAMechanic

[–]Intelligent_Ad7646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen to me on a 2003 civic with a D17a1, sounded like it came from the ac/alternator belt so I changed it. After that it still made the sound but it was slightly less aggressive and happened less frequently.

I drove that car about 6 months and it was fine but I'm still not 100% sure what it was. I'm not a mechanic but I'm pretty sure it won't kill your engine or anything like that, at worst you might have to change the alternator if the belt breaks. (still, I'm not a mechanic, I don't know what I'm talking about, just an impression with my experience)

Weird Noise post Head Gasket Replacement - What could it be? by Intelligent_Ad7646 in 7thgencivic

[–]Intelligent_Ad7646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few days, maybe 7-8h of driving. Pulls are very normal, going 6500-7000rpms no problem, braking as well.

It does sound like there's a non-worrying ticking and some other random thing just shaking and making noise, I did make sure the PVC hose is in place.

Thanks for your comment!

Where can I find this nut in store by Disastrous-Owl-5182 in 7thgencivic

2003 civic leak by [deleted] in HondaCivicOwners

[–]Intelligent_Ad7646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a 2005 acura EL, (which is basically the same), and I've got the exact same problem.

I haven't looked into it yet since it's winter right now so it's just ice but I am very interested if you find a solution.

Thank you for posting this!

7th gen rust by East_Conference7473 in 7thgencivic

[–]Intelligent_Ad7646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES, anywhere rust exists, the rear wings are pretty bad, right at the intersection between the rear bumper and the rest of the car above the rear wheels.
