Good Morning guys,
I need your opinion on something. I found out recently that I have a crack in my exhaust manifold. My father rang Honda UK up and asked them about it and they said 'this is no common fault with the exhaust manifold in the civics'. After reading about the Accords (and a few civics) being famous for this and Honda then in turn extending the warranty.
Once I read this I booked a quick appointment with Honda Penarth, drove down there and after 5 minutes a engineer took me to my car lifted up the bonnet and told me to rev twice. without hesitation he said yep, thats the manifold and its covered under the extended warranty and he said the accords and civics have same problems usually. I thought awesome.
He then went on to say have you got your service book? I replied yes. He then told me it hasnt been stamped since 2010 which is the last OFFICAL Honda service as I get mine done local family friend which I know is my fault I forgot to get it stamped! he then said. sorry mate cant do it. and said its £500-600 to fix it. I bought the car when it was out of the 3 year honda warranty and have been told the exhaust manifold is not a servicable part. So why would it need a FSH??
Are they just trying to riggle out of it? especially after Honda Uk told my Dad there is no common problem and the engineer telling me yeh there is and there is a extended warranty. they know its a common problem otherwise why extend warranty?
Sorry for the long story lol
Cheers
