Hi Sheafe, I talked with the service manager this morning, BTW it's Jerry Damson Honda/Accura in Huntsville, AL, and he tells me that there wasn't a code that...
asked him to confirm with the 25 mph in 5th test as I described. I missed this -- please describe it again. Is this something we can do??? Dick/Christine...
The techline asked him to drive the car in 5th gear (below 25mph) and give it full throttle acceleration. If the battery assist bars fail to light up then the...
Last night was an unfortunate one. While making my nightly commute, my prestine drive was upset. Out of the shadows a beastly dog emmerged and made quite an...
Jay, Sorry to hear about the car. Perhaps your insurance company will view it as repairable. If not there is always the next generation Insight down the road....
Yes, it has a new battery pack. I don't know whether it is a total loss or not yet. The dealer who has possesion of the car said the insurance has not come...
We finally heard back from the insurance company. Based upon the cost of repairs, the possibility of unforeseen repairs, and the value of the car. It's been...

It's sad to say this, but insurante writeoff for an Insight as total loss is one of the best ways "out of it". This is why: 1. Dealerships just don't want the...
I just don't understand people. Why does the Insight have such lousy resale value? IMHO, the Insight is the one hybrid that actually works. The others are...
I couldn't agree more, especially on why the dealer will lowball: the effort a dealer will have to undergo to sell the car, either in a low sales price or a...
We have a all hybrid family (3 Prius and 1 Insight) so you can tell I like them. Just another data point but my 00 Insight has saved me 1600 in gas over the...
... Since yours was the only contribution to this digest (#1686) I will reply directly to the post with my own observation, which is: Regardless of your...
I think there is certainly a market for a high efficiency 2 seat commuter car. The problem with the Insight is that it was dissed by Consumer Reports, and...
That's pretty funny. I was never quite satisfied with my Insight because I could never get consistent mileage anywhere near the EPA's numbers no matter what I...

Glad to hear that we are cleaning our EGR's and not spending $220 for a new part. EGR valves are either open or closed. It is an electro magnet and a valve...
I wish to thank Burt and all the others who have contributed info here and at Insight Central on the EGR Valve problem creating jerkiness. I would have...

My 2001 CVT has been jerky and I have been using Shell a lot recently. I cleaned the EGR valve and it helped a little but the jerkiness returned. I then...
Also, try a different gasoline and change your ATF (if CVT) and engine oil. I had replaced the EGR valve and gasket and didn't see any difference after a few...
Possibly (EGR problems traced to Shell gas), but it certainly is not exclusive to Shell gas. I never used Shell gas. I never boycotted them either. They...
Anyone ever find a bike rack to mate to the roof? Or must we stuff them into the hatch as much as possible? I need to get a new bike for myself. Plus the fact...

Well, the DMV office in Riverside says that none of this has happened yet and the REG 1000 is not the correct form anyway. I waited in line today for 20...
