Honda parts reviews

Replaced front and rear pads once. Front pads didn't need to be replaced, but I had them anyway so I swapped them out.

Replace Brake pads front P2000

I had this with my 02 Civic lx. Did compression test and it came up fine. Mechanic checked it and found it was the head gasket. Replaced it all with a gasket kit, new water pump and full tune up. Runs like a champs now, going on 4 months no problems.

Want to save money next time? Keep your original blades that come with the car new. If you don't have them, buy them at the dealer. Having the original oem blades allows you to buy the really good rubber refills at the dealer or online. The refills are A LOT cheaper than the junk you buy at the auto parts stores. These refills normally last two years or more, especially if you park in the shade a lot.

One must change the oil by 8.5k kms, due to constant thermo heat cycle, its addictive pack gets broken down, oil gets dirty.

def go through and do the timing belt, and all the oil seals behind it. They're so happy once they're not leaking anymore

I just put a timing belt in it at 144k. Easy 1 day job. Thats really all I have had to do to it aside from tires, brakes and oil changes in the last 6 years.

I only had partially good luck with control arms for my old Civic (Dorman arms that fit but had all the Dorman stuff concealed by dirt, and I was after Honda arms).

head gasket issues I had with the 90 and 94 Civics

I burst my Elevate tyre due to my mistake (side wall damage), only 3k KMs on the odometer. MRF rejected the claim but Honda provided new tyre for free as a part of goodwill warranty.
