Hi, I have put 40,000 km on my 2005 Honda Odyssey and have had no problems thus far except the A/C condenser got hit by a stone and needed replacement. Common design flaw (or should I say design intention) on the Odyssey. Repair bill over 800 bucks to replace this. They stick it right up front where it waits for rocks and pellets to hit it. |
That's why lots of folks add mesh screen of various types / prices to
deflect stray pebbles that cost $800. You can buy all kinds or DIY. I've
used plastic gutter guard for one of my CR-V's but it was a lot of work.

Anyway, I checked the front brake pads for wear by taking them out and inspecting them and found that they had worn down but not enought that they needed replacing, so I put them back on. I found that I didn't need to take the wheel off to determine this; I could see the wear level from the side of the caliper through the wheel rims. I bought a full set of brake pads from a Honda dealer for the front and back wheels and will replace them when I hit 50K km. I need info on how to replace or remove the spark plugs out of the engine. Are there any schematics out there on the engine compartment? |
Most condensers are out in the open!, The need air! Put some hardware wire
in front of it...Don''t Tailgate!! >
Get a manual from Helms
, They are the best and it will pay for itself in one job!

How about them Honda Brake pads. I have 86,000 miles on my 1999 4-cyl Accord sedan and it still has the original pads. I bought OEM replacements at about 30k in anticipation of them wearing out, but they are still sitting on the shelf. "noobiedoobie" <robinLdil...

wear on the pads. I had a mind to return the pads but reconsidered
since I would eventually replace them anyway, but that's 160 bucks
sitting on my shelf in the garage, and I don't know if the dealer
would provide a refund for return.
