Re: 2003 Honda Civic, Fluctuating temp gauge

I think it sucks either way. These motors don't do well when overheated. Because the motor overheated, there's a good chance the head gasket will start leaking again. In fact the faulty thermostat...

Re: 2003 Honda Civic, Fluctuating temp gauge

You should not be getting a plume of white smoke from the exhaust if it wss just a bad thermostat.

Imo, sounds like whoever fixed it didn't do the head gasket job properly.

Re: Cooling Issues, with a new feature!

It's normal for the reservoir level to go up a little when the coolant is hot. Is it rising a lot? What is the ambient outside temperature where you're located? A thermostat stuck open could result...

Re: 2003 Honda Civic, Fluctuating temp gauge

Sounds like the car has a blown head gasket. You should not have to add any coolant.

After all that work, did you redo the compression test to confirm it finally has good compression?

Re: ► Official EM2/ES1/ES2 Picture Thread (1.1)

Looks good. Glad to see one in decent condition. The 7th Gen civic is pretty old now, so most of the ones I see on the road are in pretty crappy condition.

How's condition of those rims? I...

Re: what type of pads are oem

I have hawk hps pads and they create a lot of dust. I have to clean my wheels almost every week. I'd stick with oem pads if you aren't driving too aggressively. Less dust and cheaper too

Re: LCA bushing replacement

I would buy oem bolts. From what I vaguely remember, oem bolts were self centering. IMO, not worth the headache of locating metric bolts that are the correct grade and length.

They have more cools because they're progressive springs. Did you use a spring compressor to install your springs?

Re: Over heated motor lately? Every wonder why? Answers inside.

My 2002 came with blue type2 long life coolant. I think Honda changed from the green type 1 to blue type 2 some time around 2001-2002.

Re: 2001 Civic (Acura EL) manual transmission problems

Check the simple things before you tear out the transmission. Check you clutch master cylinder for leaks. Also bleed the clutch fluid in case some air made it into the system.

Re: Is it okay to swap a 2001 civic ECU ? without consequences?

You can aw the ecu if you have the key for the new immobilizer. You just have to hold the key near the ignition when starting the car.
