Honda Accord 8

Honda Accord eighth generation was introduced in the spring of 2008. In 2011, a restyled version appeared.

Engines

Accord for the Russian market was equipped with gasoline atmospheric engines with a working volume of 2.0 liters (156 hp) and 2.4 liters (200 hp). 2 liters unit is the most unpretentious. The 2.4-liter engine, on the other hand, can be frustrating. There are several reasons. The most common: increased oil consumption after 50-60 thousand km, which in individual instances reaches 1 liter per 1,000 km. Reason: coking rings. Someone manages to reduce oily appetite after decoking with the help of special means. Others, desperately, resort to replacing oil-removable rings (about 50 000 rubles for work with spare parts). This problem is not a general one. There are cars that have a “reasonable” oil consumption even when running more than 100 thousand km. The tendency to excessive consumption of oil obliges the owner to constantly monitor its level. It is necessary to "sweep the moment", and overhaul is inevitable - turns the rod liners. To restore the engine will need 130-150 thousand rubles. Another reason: cracking when starting the engine after a long downtime. The source is a phase-regulator gear (VTC clutch), and the noise appears after 20-50,000 km. The manufacturer has not yet finalized the unit, and after replacing the clutch under warranty, the cod appears again. The operation of the engine with such a crack, to "tragic outcomes" has not yet led. The cost of a new gear is about 5-6 thousand rubles, and replacement work is about 4-5 thousand rubles. The noisy crankcase gas recirculation valve was not upgraded.

Transmission

A pair of manual or automatic transmissions were offered to the engine. "Mechanics" is reliable and does not cause claims. "Automatic" also does not lag behind, except for one but ... Its feature: howling when moving from a place and buzzing / hum on the 2nd and 3rd gears. It's all about the bearing pressed into the box's body. Replacing the body solves the problem for a short time. Fortunately, the noise does not progress, and it does not come to the repair of the automatic transmission. The machine calmly nurses 200-300 thousand km. In some cases, solenoid replacement may be required earlier.

Walking

Downed and strong suspension steadfastly transfers driving on Russian roads. But the rear springs can subside after 40-60 thousand km or after 2-3 years of operation. This leads to increased wear of the inner side of the rear wheels. The cost of a new pair of springs is about 7-8 thousand rubles. After 100-150 thousand km, there are cases of backlash in the upper or lower ball supports.

Due to the wear of the internal SRUS after 100-120 thousand km, vibration may appear during acceleration or at high speeds. The cost of a new domestic SRUS is about 5-6 thousand rubles, and the drive assembly is about 17-20 thousand rubles.

“Clashing steering rail syndrome” thoroughly affects Honda Accord after 40-60 thousand km due to the output in the sleeve, less often due to backlash in the engagement. The cost of a new rake in authorized services is about 90,000 rubles. In online stores you can find a new rake for 50-60 thousand rubles. But should I buy a new rake if it soon catches again? The cost of restoring the reiki is about 12-18 thousand rubles.

There are cases of clicks when rotating the steering wheel. When dealing with the problem, dealers make a replacement of the steering column. Less pleasant episodes with a rudder bite are infrequent and are floating in nature.

With a run of more than 50-80 thousand km, cases of acidification of the rear brake calipers are not uncommon. The cost of a new remake for the brake of one wheel is about 2 000 rubles.

Bodywork

Body iron Honda Accord 8 is not prone to corrosion, but bare metal on chips eventually begins to bloom. The chrome coating of the elements of the external decorative finish of the body often climbs. Great bewilderment is caused by a constructive miscalculation in the power structure of the body equipped with a hatch. After 3-4 years, crumbs appear on the roof near the hatch. In addition, under the sealing gum of the opening, the metal actively corroses. As a result, the seal "protrudes" and prevents the normal closure of the hatch. The glass of fog lamps often burst in wet weather. The cost of a new lantern is about 1.5-2 thousand rubles. Often the prey of the "thieves" are the nozzles of the headlight washers in the front bumper and mirror. The cost of a new injector is about 6-7 thousand rubles, mirrors - about 15 thousand rubles. The car with a sporty character received a flimsy mounting of the top of the chrome lining of the grille. At high speed, it often “flies away”. The cost of a new overlay is about 3-5 thousand rubles. On the restyled version of Honda Accord, the mounting of the lining was strengthened. Sometimes after replacing the wind stele with a stream of air, its side moldings break off. The reason: broken molding mounts due to improper uninstallation. The threshold lining in the Type-S configuration sometimes departs in the rear arch area due to broken plastic mounting. It is one with the threshold. The new overlay will cost 25-30 thousand rubles. The least expensive way to cure is to glue the broken parts together. With a run of more than 80-100 thousand.

Interior

Plastic in the cabin Honda Accord 8 at times begins to creak. Excess sounds add and the back shelf is a common phenomenon. To combat its creaking in services tighten the mounts and treat the places of contacts with penetrating lubricant. In winter, the cause of creaking in the rear window area is ice accumulating in the water drains under the trunk lid.

Factory speakers of the acoustic system often begin to wheez when running more than 50-80 thousand km. And after 80-120 thousand km can whistle the bearing of the fan of the heater. The bearing lubricant eliminates the noise. The new engine of the stove costs about 12-19 thousand rubles.

After two to three years of operation, the heated driver's seat cushion often fails due to the rupture of conductive elements. The skin of the driver's seat cushion relatively quickly loses its "commodity appearance": folds and scuffs appear. The chair itself sometimes starts to creak.

Electrical problems usually do not arise. Unless sometimes "glutch" front parking sensors, and reset the memory of the seats. The sensors of the parktronics are turned off when the light bulb burns out in the button for the help system.

On restyled samples after 100,000 km, the electronic control unit of the EPS steering rack often fails. Block is better to borrow from the pre-restyling chords - it is more reliable. The cost of the new block is 62 000 rubles, on the market you can look for a used version for 5-20 thousand rubles.

Shows, bargaining and re-registration take time: buyers look, promise to think and disappear. Fair price after inspection closes the auction on the spot. If money is needed urgently, the purchase takes away waiting and repeat displays.
