Krzys Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I wanna no every thing lol mostly about the DPF system am I likely to have problems with it what other bad things should I need to knowDPF delete is all you need to know about them! On a serious note though, basically to keep them clear you need to take the car on good long runs! If it's only pottering about town then that's when they clog up and you get problems!

NIKH25 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 So really no good to me as we don't ever go far so will end up with big bills If you're not going to use it for regular long runs, you'd be best off sticking with petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Paul Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I wanna no every thing lol mostly about the DPF system am I likely to have problems with it what other bad things should I need to knowIt's allways best to get them removed to be honest but that could cost you £500-£1000! I've had a few issues at work with the early accords but not enough to say that it's a common fault on them! Most are fixed with a simple DPF regen which costs a couple of hours labour. I can count on one hand how many we've actually had to replace. Apart from that they are good cars. Don't let the oil level go below minimum cuz your stretch the timing chain and keep to the Honda dealer service schedule and you'll be fine brakes are 270 for disc and pads and same for rear ( that's dealer price) exhaust will last forever tyres are pricier cuz you'll be on 17/18's more than likely. Just don't expect parts to be cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly how they work, however the few Hondas that have been problematic with me are the ones that travel down the motorway!! This shouldn't be the case but it has been for some reason?? Honda haven't explained to me why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
