Hi. New but been lurking. About gride chargers and such.

99992 miles '09

Recently, got a new passenger motor mount when I experienced car vibrations esp. At low speeds and reverse. Seems like most people have as well. If you have that then that's it.

Ok. I had the IMA battery placed in 2013 with 56,000 miles.

Is there a year/warranty on the 2nd replacement battery?

 

Nope, but Honda extended your original warranty to 10yr/150K miles because the 09-11 IMA packs have been pure garbage (30% replacement rate on 2009-2010 modules as of Consumer Reports 2013 survey).

Personally, I recommend you sell the car while this benefit is still intact.

 

Lol. Thanks for the advice. I was thinking that but it's serving it's job well here in Cali, as I bought it from my dad and did an east to west coast road trip with it.

Been reading a lot of your posts and replies S Keith. You are the man!

You think it'll crap out soon as it reaching 50k on the 2nd batt?

I dont get as much batt. assist as I think it should.

But I changed out the spark plugs recently and made a world difference from 36mpg to 46mpg for crusing highway.

 

I can't say when it will fail. Are you getting recalibrations? You're 3 years in with 44k mi on the pack.

 

Nope. Yes those stats are correct. Since I would like to not spend any money on maint. That I can assume occur on a 100k vehicle and reading up on grid charging/ replacement batt, or typical car maint of new tranny or more motor mounts, etc would occur.

Not sure if it's feasible to keep this car or sell it at a happy price. Just seeing how much longer I can go without spending any more coin.

 

Things that come to mind...

Plugs $120
Mounts $500
EGR plate cleaning $0
Struts $?
Upper Cat $550
Upper O2 Sensor $200
Rear O2 sensor $50

Prices assume you do the work. MUCH more for Mother Honda.

Where are you? Update your location in your profile.

 

I just rolled over to 100k!

Plugs not long ago, I did myself. Super Easy-ish except back plugs but with right tools.
Engine mount done at my indy for $80 labor + $110 OEM (ebay, got lucky)

Living in an apt. has its garage work drawbacks.

Yikes, why is Upper 02 sensor so much? When do they usually go out?
Any kind of rough data when cats go out too on the HCH2?

 

I had a 2nd HCH2 w/220K miles. It needed everything listed but struts. I don't know when they needed them, but they needed them when I got it.

For O2 sensors, I don't just buy anything. I bought the Denso P/N equivalent to the Denso OEM unit. Honda was close to $350 IIRC.
