joelufc20 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 For my next car im looking at replacing the wives vectra for an accord cdti but heard some stories about the timing chain snapping in particular the oil pump chain. Can anyone shed any light on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Paul Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Mine and my miss's car is the civic 2.2 ctdi.... Hondas Diesel engines are superb if looked after. Yes they have timing chain issues but these are only ever caused by allowing the oil level to drop below minimum. They also do suffer with fuel pressure issues but again this is only ever caused by the car being misfueld in its life. The only genuine fault in Hondas design was with the exhaust manifolds which tend to crack at around 100k. Bout a £600 job (from dealer) to fix but Honda did brng out a bulletin which would cover some models up to 7 years old with milages up to 120k if they have full dealer service history .... Any info u want to know on them let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
