Defender My 00 green machine now has over 171K miles and the clutch seems to be holding up. As I have seen and read (on this web pages) different things need...
Wearing out the brake pads in only 75K indicates that you must either travel in heavy/city traffic or drive like a 'normal' driver instead of like an...
Hi everyone, The time has come for me to part with my beloved 2001 Insight. My new HCH has arrived and is waiting for me to pick it up after Jan 1. Before I...
[Cross posting from Honda-Insight list] Hi everyone, The time has come for me to part with my beloved 2001 Insight. My new HCH has arrived and is waiting for...
Since the major cost is transmission removal, i would suggest that you have the second gear set in the tranny replaced while it is out. A lot of Insight 00...
I had my tranmission replaced at 65,000 miles under the extended warranty. (The syncros weree noisy in first and second) The service writer called me at work...
... Well, I just finished with Art's 30 K mi "makeover" so it would be a while before I am back in the shop. However, the shop website is worthy of your...
Kolbe Honda (Reseda, CA) let me take my car home last night. The service report says "03214 Control Unit/Battery Monitor Inop". The parts are on back order....
... Unlike many mechanical repairs, my sense is that the replacement of the IMA battery pack, BCM, and MCM is pretty straightforward (i.e., difficult to screw...
In the interest of the people on this list, I'd like to ask Amy, and other who develop troubles with their hybrid, to give us here a continuation of their ...
That's correct, San Juan Capistrano, Weseloh Honda. The service guys are great, even to the male customers. The parts guy owns 2 insights, silver and red. They...
Criswell Honda in Germantown MD is a pretty great place to have our Insight serviced. We maintain our car with them and they take very good care of us. There...
Successfully replaced the ERG on my 2000 insight. Bucking and stalling has stopped, but so has the great mpg. The first 50 miles on the new ERG gave me 40mpg ...
I have an 03 HCH CVT - purchased as Certified Used Vehicle August of this year (2005). I noticed now that it's getting cold here in Ohio that the CVT doesn't...
No adjustments need be made. Mine when replaced gave the exact same gas mileage. Did you put in a new gasket? Could there be a air leak around the EGR? Maybe...
That's been common for my '03 HCH since new. Normally a 2-4 second delay when initially pulling it out of park. I just patiently wait for it to "catch" and...
I'll second that. Perfectly normal. It's not really a bother because I'm not moving that fast first thing in the morning either. Amy Harbor Computer Services ...
I am glad to hear that is normal because mine also does the same thing. I had really thought that there was something wrong with it as well. I was thinking...
Same happens on mine; up to 56,000 now. I figure it's an opportunity for the engine to spread some oil around before getting down to work. Max [Non-text...
The transmission fluid is thicker when cold, so doesn't flow as quickly and the transmission response is slower. Also, there is a hill-holder function in the...
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com appears to have it for $149.87 with gasket. Look under "Spool valve" in the "System name / Component" section. Item #3 ? ...
Good morning all After driving for two days with a EGR valve in place my mpg is back up to where it was before the new valve, even a few mpg better. Don't know...
It was interesting to learn that in the process of having my spare tranny second gear synchro replaced ( as most know they seem to fail about 100 kmi) , the...
... Whenever someone uses a term like "the very competent mechanic" I want to know: What shop? and, where is it located? One of our biggest challenges, it...
... Interesting! I would vote for 2002 because that seems to be when other changes first appeared. But maybe that would have been too early to have learned...
Hello everyone! I listed my Insight on eBay on Tuesday and I noticed that an eBay-er with the handle 'hybridguru' has purchased 5 or 6 Insights and at least ...
