Hey guys I failed inspection miserably with these problems and they said my car is a deathtrap...just wondering if any of you guys brought your car to the Honda dealer for these repairs and how much they cost...this is whats wrong....

1. Both front Axle boots are broken/Axle weak and losing grease

2. Rear Wheel cylinders and Rear Shoes leakin break fluid

3. Need Brake System Flush

4. Oil Pan Leaking

5. Belts cracking/ timing belt about to snap

Thanks guys....

 

1. call dealer or look up parts online.

2. do it yourself, easy repairs

3. plus you'll learn a lot.

4. just get a manual and go for it.

 

its gonna be pricey at honda. everything on the list is pretty easy to do yourself.

 

thanks...there saying the brake fluid leakin on the brakes is real dangerous how serious is this

 

brake fluid is slippery. trying to slam the brake + slippery fluid contacts = alll bad mister.

 

Or loss of all break pressure and you go flying into the car infront of you at freeway speeds because you can stop.

 

sounds like its time a perfect time for a rear disk brake conversion

Well I dunno about NY exactly but I know the PA laws seeing that I'm a lincensed pa state inspected.

They can't fail you for your axle boots unless they are slinging grease on the brakes, which is kinda hard on a EF.

They CAN'T fail you for needed a brake flush, thats just rediculous, if that was true I would make a lot more money.

They can only fail an oil leak if its so bad that it can't be run on the emissions dyno so it pretty much has to be pissing out.

They can't fail you for belts cracking, or the need of a timing belt.

So basically IN PA all you would fail for is the rear brakes.

 

hybrid, where in PA are you?

 

Probably close to $1K if you have to pay someone to do it all.

 

Thanks guys. The reason I was failed was becasue of the rear brakes and how dangerous they are. Also is it possible for a Civic with 34,000 original miles if not properly maintained to have these issues or is it totally impossible?

 

Over time when subjected to heat/cold rubber components tend to deteriorate. Not uncommon your problems with a nearly 20 y/o car.

The rear brakes are not that hard. Do it yourself. Just get all the parts you will need.(brake shoes, brake drums, spring/hardware kit, wheel cylinders, brake fluid) take apart one side at a time so that you can use the other side for a reference. Get yourself a manual and dive in. You will need someone else to help you bleed the brakes when you are finished. That will take care of your rear wheel cylinder leaking problem and your brake fluid flush.
