    Greetings! Out of the blue, my '03 EX has coolant around the top of the radiator and is smoking, but NOT overheating. Fans come on. Tried a new cap. Suggestions?
  2. Maintenance and Service
    Like many others, I've been on the hunt for 19510-PZD-A10 heater pipe as mine has rusted and is leaking coolant in my 2010 Element. From another post on this forum, I got the idea to get a list of Honda dealerships in the country that may have this part and unfortunately that search came up with...
  3. Problems & Issues
    I went to check the coolant shortly after I got my 2005 & found that the radiator overflow was empty- or appeared to be- and the walls of the container were coated with a sticky black substance. Any idea why, or what to do about it? The sticky stuff is really concerning... could it have...
  4. Ask The Dealer
    Hey there as the title says, thats what I'm looking for. I have found some but they have the extra ports for the auto trans. Wasn't sure if that would be compatible or if those little rubber caps on the the port fittings would be adequate to seal the the trans if I just decided to use and auto...

    Hello, Question for y'all. 06 Honda element lx awd automatic. A couple of weeks ago one radiator fan motor burned out. I replaced the motor after diag and all is well, both operate. However, once up to temp they operate intermittently when driving slow or idling, and admittedly a bit warmer...
  6. General Honda Element Discussion
    My 2006 Honda Element with 235000 miles had a major coolant loss on the expressway that shot coolant over the windshield. I had the car towed to the closest Honda dealership. After 1 day of waiting they called and said their policy was to require people with cars older than 6 years to prepay...
  7. Problems & Issues
    Hey Guys, I just bought a 2008 e with 290,000 on it, and I'm encountering some overheating issues, which came in three distinct stages over the course of a week and a half. 1. When I first bought it, it would almost overheat if you got on the freeway within five minutes of starting the car from...
  8. Maintenance and Service
    Hi, I've seen a number of posts about finding a radiator leak or stopping hose leaks but not about leaking from top of the radiator that is held down by the metal clamp that goes all around the top. I can see the fluid (at this point basically water) dripping or bubbling out of the seal between...

  10. Problems & Issues
    So my wife drives a 03 element. Last summer i replaced a radiator fan thinking it was going bad because the radiator fan fuse kept blowing. Everything seemed ok up until this summer when it started blowing fuses again. I thought the fan felt a little sluggish so i replaced it again thinking it...
  11. Maintenance and Service
    Hello, I have a leaking radiator and I am having trouble finding a correct replacement for my 2003 Element radiator. My local NAPA had a 'replacement' in stock. I bought the unit, pulled my old one and found that the fans did not fit correctly on the new one. The bottom pegs mount fine, but...
  12. Maintenance and Service
    My 2007 Element EX, ~52,000 needs help! I went to change my oil and checked the rest of my fluids as a matter of habit, only to find that my coolant looked like coffee with cream. The hose in the overflow tank has a slight sludge buildup on it that is the same color. Now, I *fear* head gasket...
  13. Problems & Issues
    Hi Everyone, I recently bought a used Element with 160K. The heat inside was very poor even with the fan turned up on high or low and eventually it would blow cool air after about 3 minutes. I'm putting this thread up so maybe it'll help someone. I removed the hose clamps and hoses from the...
  14. Problems & Issues
    Hey everyone, I was just looking over the "E" this morning and noticed what I would call a decent/substantial amount of play in the radiator. Obviously there is supposed to be some play and this is meant as shock absorption but are the grommets/rubber rings known to get too much play? Also...
