Accord CL9 New Owner's Thread

[fahdahmad]

Viking85 has shared the place where to get Honda parts in rawalpindi. Kindly read this thread.

Liquimoly dealer is in I-8 markaz. Just google it. Mobil1 dealer is in I10 auto market (name is Shan distributor).

The oil weight to be used is also mentioned in previous posts in this thread. Just read the thread and you will find the required information.

I cleaned engine bay myself so cannot recommend any place for engine bay cleaning. You can try mintpro in e11. They do steam cleaning.

As @fahdahmad said, You can get all honda maintenance and replacement parts as well as all oils including Liquimoly at Alif Autos Gawalmandi Rawalpindi. Tried and tested. Good prices.
Recom Oil viscosity is 5w30. Honda filters are recom.
I would suggest first drive the car for a few days. Get to know its condition. You'll come to know what all needs replacement including oils, brake pads, filters, suspension parts etc.

Special Tec and Top Tec aren't full-synthetic - Secondly I've never heard anyone using Top Tec for their Accords.

what is difference between

• The major difference is of viscosity between the two specific oils you've shared.

Personally I'll recommend full-synthetic oils such as; High-Tech or Long-Life 0W-30.

how many km it need to be replaced

Synthetic's can last upto 5,000KM easily and full-synthetic's can last upto 10,000KM.

I've seen the ad before - previously it was someone from Islamabad / Rawalpindi Bahria Town selling this car.

Yes, go for 0W30 Synthoil Long Time. That's what I am using.

Here's the night time pics of recently installed fog lamp LEDs:

[fahdahmad]

Few days back I washed my cars engine bay. I did use blower to dry the connectors. However, one connector remained moist and as a result the transmission range switch got short. I got it replaced today. Got a kabli for 2200 pkr from mithu ka ihata.This is just to inform you guys that one should be careful washing engine bays of old cars and dry the connectors properly.

[ali.iqbal1]

That's usually why I never wash the engine bay - just use a bottle of spray with soapy water and clean the top surface.

• Thanks for your input Fahd!

[ali.iqbal1]

I've installed LED on my high-beam and they're far beyond pathetic lol - The throw is widespread. I'm guessing they'll work perfectly fine for the fog-lamps.

I am not much of a DIY guy

Will keep the one I replaced. Will open it when I am in the mood for adventure

Thanks for informing that it's easy to fix. I didn't find that information on forums. Guys normally just replace it.

[sameerulhaq064]

Did you get the connector replaced from PAC5? It's owned by a friend of mine....

[Rahat083144]

I've installed LED on my high-beam and they're far beyond pathetic lol - The throw is widespread. I'm guessing they'll work perfectly fine for the fog-lamps.

Exactly exactly exactly. Same here - stock H1 worked so well, LED is a fail in hi beam. Firstly, of course warm shade spreads better, secondly only 2 diodes in my hi beam LED whereas stock filament is 360 degree and thirdly the LED diode needs to be in the exact same spot within the bulb as the stock bulb for a perfect spread (and that probably isn't the case here). I'm now looking for Philips Xtreme Vision or Osram Nightbreakers, but their longevity (or lack of it) is holding me back.

These fog light bulbs that I am using are perfect though. Super shade and spread. Of course these are not as bright as your low beam or hi beam, but then they aren't supposed to be. What I can confirm is that mine are way brighter than stock fog lamps.

[Rahat083144]

Yeah thanks for sharing. Mein tou andhon ki tarah wash kerta hun aur karata hun (despite knowing the consequences). Bas Allah bachaye.

[fahdahmad]

Yes. Ahsan was extremely cooperative and helpful. He gave a lot of time and did a lot of effort.

[viking85]

Thankx for the headsup @fahdahmad. I was planning on an engine detailing session. I usually make liberal use of water. Seems I have to be more careful from now on. I'll try to cover most of the electrical connections and sensors to avoid getting em wet.
