Dealer quoted at 50k mile sevices, to get following services done:
1) Throtle Clean - $35
2) Break Fluid Flush - $80
3) Clutch Fluid - $75
4) Coolent - $50
5) Transmission Fluid - $35

Are these works necessary to get done at 50K miles?

 

ok for 275 bucks that is a rip off. IMO you should do it yourself and do it for about 75-100 bucks at the most. Its really easy to do the stuff listed, if I was local I would charge you parts + a 12 pack .

If you have any questions just post them here and we will try and "walk" you through. Also if you haven't pick up a service manual either chiltons, helms, haynes manual you will use this more than just this 1 time.

Welcome to h-t

 

Thank you VRDrvr. As you can tell that I never done these works before. I am in search info about to do it myself.

They also ask $30 for Air Filter. Change Spark Plugs for $50. I know I can do these works.

They also ask $120 for replace the A/C Air Filter (for my 1998 Honda Accord, 4 cilynder / manual). I am going do it myself. But need help to locate it. If anyone know the procedure, please let me know.

BTW, where I can get those service manuals?

-- Many Thanks!

 

service manuals can be bought almost at any local auto store.. (pepboys,autozone,r&s strauss) and so on...

alot of the stuff are easy diy... grab a day off and go at it!

Take out the glovebox, then I think you have to remove a steel beam that goes across, underneath the glovebox. The ventilation air duct goes across roughly 2 feet forward of your passenger's knees. There's an opening that snaps off to get the 2 filters out.

The best manual comes from http://www.helminc.com but Chilton & Haynes can be found at lots of autoparts stores.

ps... You don't say where you're located. Our USA Accord isn't the same car as most of the rest of the world.

OMG!! who ever is charging those prices should be reported to the BBB for overcharhing customers. especially for bleeding the clutch fluid $75, with a speed bleeder a tool that they will have that should take 5 minutes to do. honda coolant is $$ but $50, for a service that takes 10 minutes. the tranny fluid change should cost about what an oil change costs or less considering there is no filter.

 

i paid a total of 8 dollars for power steering flush and new fluid.....(some of you know what im talking about).....son.....your getting raped in the ***

in my case, my blinker fluid was replaced about 75xxx miles, and is still full.....i just recently refilled my flux capicator purge vavle overflow tank, and replaced the seal......might wanna ask ur mechanic/dealer if ur FC seals/valves are warrantied, cause u might wanna change those, if not the fluid

 

^speaking of flux capacitors what rpm does it kick in at? cause i wanted to know if getting an Apexi FC-AFC for it would give me more power. i don't want to dyno tune it either cause with my gtech and butt dyno i figure i could do a much better job.

 

Coolant and tranny flushes are important, but can be done at most good shops cheaper than the dealer.

Personally, I would wait to do the brake and clutch fluid flushes when you replace the brakes/clutch.

....and, lets see, flux capacitors? wasn't that 88mph?

 

flux kicks in roughly 1500rpm after vtech kicks in....purge valve will realse on redline, or when the FRSA (Falangiated Ringdard Selnoid Actuator) sense a postive flux read

use OEM PS FLUID!!!!!!!
