Hi, i have it scanned, it gives the error of solenoid valves, also the VSA is malfunctioned, after the scan the transmission is working fine. but the system gives the error of VSA.

I will have the transmission oil replaced with ATF DW1.

If your solenoid error is still coming then the first step is to service both transmission solenoids. Both have a mesh in the tubes which gets clogged. See YouTube videos.

See following link for location of solenoids

[image] Shift Solenoids in blue: get these cleaned. Mesh in tubes gets clogged 3rd gear pressure switch in Green Transmission filter in red; get it changed if you haven't already done so and also change transmission fluid. Did the shift problem and blinking start after washing engine?

First fix the transmission error. Hopefully the VSA light will go away.

So i need to get some suspension work done and yeah there is a major play in the steering wheel too.VSA doesn't works neither cruise. not sure if it is because of the suspension or steering.can someone guide me or suggest me any reliable mechanic in isb or pindi?

What are the effect of downpiping in accord means removing of cat .. expert advise required

[ktech786]

You could visit fellow competent members having their own setup @dani_kk and @rajaatta .
And please do share your experience

[dani_kk]

When you are doing downpipe, like if you're upgrading from k20 to k24 and you were running 2.0 on k20. Now when you'll jump to 2.25 you'll get a balanced top speed and instant acceleration along with cat hooked and car will have smoot looking sound with no petrol smell coming out of tail pipe.

If you run more wider pipe like 2.50-3.0 with no cat you'll get good instant acceleration and a dropped top speed and due to removal of cat you'll get a loud car, once you'll drop your feet in gears its going to make you hear pops n bangs.. And also strong petrol fumes coming out...

And once you do too big or wide downpipe, concept of overkill comes in action...
So do share your requirements and if got time do visit me at G13/4 or at haj complex road.

Thank you bro, at the moment there is no error except the VSA but i think i will have the solenoids serviced.

Why don't you ask Gohar? He told me his car only has the OEM headers. After that it's 2.5" piping. Was hell too loud for me, but definitely quick despite the fact that it is not 'tuned'! It also has a custom CAI, but all I could hear was the loud exhaust.

[pwuser150300020056]

Whats the CAI? Rahat bhai

[bonfire2006]

Is CL9 2002 fall under the Recall of Takata Airbags?

[bonfire2006]

Can anyone tell me the cost of Airbags of CL9 2002

[fahdahmad]

Cold air intake (CAI)

[Rahat083144]

Cold air intake (CAI)

BTW your car has reflashed ECU, right?

[fahdahmad]

Yes it is.

Am looking for exhausts. Once I get exhausts will increase dia of catback.

Headers are out of budget

[Rahat083144]

Yes it is.

So how's the experience? Is there is a worthwhile difference?

After experiencing my friend Gohar's car I want to upgrade the exhausts too, but I just don't want to make my car any louder. Hence stuck.

Salam every one....
Tommorow I will upload the pics of my ride..

[fahdahmad]

Yes it is definitely worth it. Noticeable in daily driving. The throttle lag is finished. Throttle response much better. And vtec is fun, engages at 4700 rpm. Goes upto 7600.
