  1. Shoppin' and Test Drivin'
    Just accidentally deleted the detailed post! &^%((!@^^&! Not a very concise post, so skip to the bottom for the gist. 2006 EX AWD, Automatic, 150k original miles, less-than-year-old transmission, new battery, brakes, tires etc etc. Regular maintenance, yadda yadda. My daily driver with no...

  3. Problems & Issues
    Hey Gang, So with an E in my very near future, I’ve been compiling things I need and things I want to do to it. This is a list of things I plan on doing immediately upon getting it. Yes, there are many more things that could be done but this seems to be the most practical/important things I...
  4. General Honda Element Discussion
    I have a donate versus repair question for this group. (Please take down if not allowed.) Over the weekend, my catalytic converter was stolen while my Element was parked at DIA. I'm trying to gauge if it's worth replacing it before selling the vehicle, or if I should cut my losses and donate...
  5. Interior
    Greetings all, My 08 EX headliner is damaged above the driver's seat (I don't know what happened; I bought it like this). It's kind of dented and the edge is pulled away from the ceiling compartment moulding. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
  6. Image Gallery
    This is just a fun little collage and some explanatory captions about my Elements journey from our local Texas dealership, to become my first car. This is our 2004 Honda Element EX 4AT, we bought in may of 2004. Are family has had it with extremely low maintenance (no solinoids replaced) and...
  7. Maintenance and Service
    Just wanted to share my experience doing this replacement. Cause for Concern Dealer flagged an oil seep around the timing cover. In hindsight (given the failure rate of these parts), I’m kind of shocked they didn’t diagnose it immediately and sell me the $150 assembly! Inspected myself, and was...
  8. Problems & Issues
    Took my E to the mechanic. Told me I needed to change some stuff (opted to fix it myself), gave me these two dorman part numbers. 917-224 (changed that today) The other one was 917-277. The part is easy enough to find for sale but I can't find any info on it in relation to the element. Where it...
  9. Dear Honda: (Feedback Forum)
    I have a 2004 ex with 218,00 miles on it. I love this vehicle. I bought it in great condition from a friend, very well taken care of, but 2 weeks ago I had some trouble with it not shifting into gear above 40mph, and there'd be a delayed engagement whenever I went from Park to Reverse or Drive...

    Hi, I’m new to the club, I’ve a 2008 element that was in Massachusetts and has some general rust. Am now in seattle area. The catalytic converter was stolen. Some of the bolts rusted, we didn’t drive it for 4 weeks, and this got interior mildew( not bad, can clean). As it sat…. The...
  11. Problems & Issues
    I was replacing the door lock actuator on the driver side door. When I was opening the door lock to get the actuator out the metal cover popped off. It has a plastic bushing that guides the lever that connects to the inside door handle. It went flying now I can't find it and now I'm just trying...
  12. Maintenance and Service
    I've seen some tough financial times. So I thought I would share what I did, when my glove box lock broke. Its a little hack, in case you don't have the extra money to buy a replacement from eBay, the Honda Dealer, or wherever. You'll need some electrical tape, a metal clothes hanger, some...

    I went to get an alignment the other day and the shop realized I have a broken lower ball joint. So I have decided to replace several items while fixing the main issue. I will be replacing the following: -Front and Rear Struts/Spring Assembly -Front and Rear Sway Bar Links -Front Lower Ball...
  14. Problems & Issues
    Hi all, new owner of a 2003 Element EX AWD. I got it inspected prior to buying to know what repairs to expect. I'm looking into buying parts and the only thing I can't find on Rockauto and such is an inner CV boot for the rear driver side. It's busted and leaking grease and I should replace...
  15. Problems & Issues
    I have already documented this here (http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1597353&highlight=#post1597353) but I realized the information is a bit buried so I thought I would create a new post for my experience getting my instrument cluster repaired. Many have had the same...

  17. Problems & Issues
    My 2004 EX rolled backwards with the door open. The door got caught on a bush and opened too far. Unfortunately, it won't close. I loosened three bolts that hold the front left fender on, and loosened the bolts that mount the door to the car and was able to ( temporarily ) close it. What's my...
  18. Problems & Issues
    I am trying to replace my rear hub bearings but having a horrible time trying to get off the hub itself to get access to the rest of assembly i tried using a hub puller but it didn't seem to want to work right just pushing back, for loss of the correct term, the center thing that goes through...
  19. Problems & Issues
    Issue: My rear tailgate/hatch is stuck shut. It has been for months.:-( I can't fit large items in the vehicle now and I'm tired of wedging bikes in through the side doors! I'm off today, and after successfully replacing the serpentine belt Saturday, I figured that I'd give fixing this issue a...
  20. Maintenance and Service
    Hey EOC, My PS [poor sister] had her slave cylinder replaced and it is now leaking again. It looks like the leak is coming from the FITTING between the steel line and the slave cylinder itself. The 'brake' line nut attaches firmly to the fitting, but the fitting is loose and leaking at the...
