Your Honda Accord (EOD) Experience! by Mist100: 2:17pm On Sep 26, 2017 |
Hi everyone I just got myself a Honda accord and would love EOD owners/drivers to share their experience with this ride. This is to help people learn from mistakes and maximize the potentials this ride has to offer. My first experience. The ride is stable and really balanced compared to Toyotas/ Nissans I have driven. But the car is very low hence I would be changing the tyres to 205/65 and raising it a bit. Another is after the Sunday downpour my automatic gear wasn't shifting well. No blinking D lights. The rewire said it will be fine once the water dries off the sensor. |

Mist100: Is it V6 EOD? Heard the V6 transmission is pron to failure.. Is the check engine Light on? If so, run a scan.. I use a 2006 i4 accord and its a great ride, Very stable and balanced at high speed, Fuel consumption is not bad too. Take care of you accord and she will take care of you..Service as at when due with the right fluid. 7 Likes |

lillyontop: Sorry to hear that. My mechanic bought the recommended fluid though colleagues said they have been using HOLT with no problems. Just didn't want to take chances. Maybe by next service date I will try HOLT 1 Like |
Re: Your Honda Accord (EOD) Experience! by thebigkendo(m): 8:55am On Sep 27, 2017 |
Mist100: Please don't use Holt,Use Honda ATF-DW1 . Transmission fluid is not supposed to be changed frequently.. i think 30,000 miles interval, on an average thats should be between 2 - 3 years, Except you be transporter ![]() 6 Likes 1 Share |

thebigkendo: Sorry for derailing ; pls I have bin using the holts in my 2001 Siena; what is the recommended and can I still change without any effects? |
Re: Your Honda Accord (EOD) Experience! by teeboy99: 7:54am On Sep 28, 2017 |
Mist100: The design change year that brought EODs was 2003. And this design lasted till 2005. Many of the errors noted in 2003 would have been corrected by 2005. That is why 2005 EODs have less complaints than 2004 and 2003 EODs according to car complaints. And that makes it the most reliable of them |
Re: Your Honda Accord (EOD) Experience! by thebigkendo(m): 8:13am On Sep 28, 2017 |
Mist100: You will get a Check engine light and on scanning you should see an O2 sensor related code |

debanj326: I have been driving mine for 4 years. Fear no allow me change gear oil. I almost changed oil to DW1 but the person i ordered from supplied a fake, i rejected it and decided to risk not changing the oil till am sure its bad. The gear has been sharp all through. I had 1 episode of water in ECU that caused the gear to misbehave. I almost had a heart attack but the ecu got a good sun bath and it came to life. The car is very reliable and comfy at high speed. Acceleration is great even on I4 |
Re: Your Honda Accord (EOD) Experience! by teeboy99: 7:22pm On Oct 03, 2017 |
adanny01: whenever the oil change is necessary, you can get correct DW1 from Gazzuzz |
