LPS 3 Rust Proofing Followup Part II 2013 Fit
Просмотров 264Год назад
This video shows how LPS 3 held up after one winter in upstate NY. The silver car had about 10000 miles and the blue car had about 14000 miles since application. The product is not advertised as a vehicle rust proofer and probably works great in the environments its designed for. I also did very little prep work so it probably would stick better if a little more effort was put in. However for w...

Sorry the footage isn't great but hopefully it helps. It would be better to use a balljoint press (or regular press) for putting the new bearing in. If using a hammer just hit on opposite sides only on the outside race and make sure the bearing is going in straight.

2013 Honda Fit GE 1.5L Valve Adjustment and Spark Plugs
Just did this but brought my spark plug socket from work so it was a 16mm not a 14mm lol. Also easier to turn the crank with the plugs out, I could not for the life of me turn it with a normal 3/8" ratchet. Really not a bad job, with familiarity maybe takes 30 mins tops to get all the stuff removed. I bought some hondabond HT for the sealant.
Not even five minutes work! Saved $69 not doing it at the dealer. Thanks for the info!
Champion-level guide. Thank you!
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you!
I'm having the same exact problem with my 13' Fit. But I'm having a hard time getting the red wire to release from the little white unit. Is there an easier way to get it to come out? I've tried a paper clip and a safety pin. No luck.
@@rmg2419 I would stick with the safety pin. While trying to get the safety pin in push the red wire into the connector this will relieve tension on the tab that holds it and allow the pin to slip into place. Once the pin is in place the red wire should come out easily.
Great content - zero fat, just to the point, thorough and clear. Thank you for making this.
Thanks! You made changing the filter easy!
Perfect. Thanks for posting!
HI! I found your video googling the issue I´m having. My honda fit when unlocked, keeps trying to unlock itself. When locked, thanks god it stays locked without issues. I cannot make it "do this glitch" as you do, by using the wipers or the horn. What would be your advice? Thank you.
You could try removing the brown wire from the same plug and see if the problem goes away. Just unplugging the connector should stop the problem if it is the door latch switch.

Please, nobody ever perform this type of repair hundred percent nonsense. Just remove the 8 mm screw for the back panel to loosen it up and pop the clips out. You should have enough room having to remove the wiper to remove and insert the new handle.
That’s the problem the 8mm screw won’t come out of the trim without breaking it. The captive nut won’t let go so it twists and breaks the trim. I know this is a stupid hack job but its one of those situations where if you’ve been there this hack on youtube will save you from buying $80 worth of trim.
ChrisFix trusty ole soapy wooder
would it be possible to replacing pulley without actually unbolting tensioner?
I don’t think so.
thanks, i boughta a car that has this exact same problem!
Nice video and explanation. I'd recommend stainless nuts and bolts if you live in the rust belt like I do. My flanges have a lot less metal left than yours, you were lucky. Trying to figure out how I can avoind having to buy a new cat converter just to have decent flange. Welding will be tough because that would mess up the smooth groove the steel gasket fits within.
If you weld it completely you wouldn’t need a gasket. Its not a flex joint so it should be okay.
Simple and tool put away was the key to this!
UPDATE- I just replaced my handle on a 2010 Fit, you don't have to bend the linkage. Don't remove the wiper arm either, just pry up the black cover from the drivers side that will release 2 clips (if they break replace them) and you will be able to get the handle in and out without any problem. I put never-sieze all over that pin, spring and plastic hopefully it will extend the life keeping rusting to a minimum. That pin should have been made from stainless steel.
Dude! You should have 138,000 views that was awesome.
You get full credit for videoing in the rain! The pin on that handle should have been stainless steel, that should have been an engineering upgrade on that part. Thanks for your time and posting this video. What is the part number?
OEM part number is 74810-S6A-003 . I bought this one www.amazon.com/APPERFiT-74810-S6A-003-Compatible-2007-2019-2002-2005/
Just changed out my filter. Thanks for the succinct video!
Oh my god! My 09 hatch has been crap for 5 years and the last 3 I literally couldn’t open it anymore. I watched a few videos several years ago and once they got to removing external plastic and wiper arm I quit thinkin about it. This seriously works! I didn’t it 15 minutes and didn’t break anything but my knuckle loosening the first bolt. Smooth sailing now! Only 10$ in 2024! Thank you!!!
Did this cause the ac to blow warm air?
My AC was still working normally. However one of the most common issues is the clutch gap is too large. This can be temporarily fixed by removing a clutch shim. More details here www.fitfreak.net/forums/1st-generation-gd-01-08/93563-c-problems.html
Good video. Only thing not covered is the oil drain plug crush washer should be replaced.
If you read the MSDS on the LPS3 gallon bulk it is 50% mineral spirits and 10% paraffin and the rest is probably mineral oil. So it says tacky and is not as hard as cosmoline. It can be sprayed from a pump sprayer bottle due to the mineral spirits. So this can easily be made as DIY undercoating for way cheaper - and then just applied more frequently. Only the mineral spirits is flammable - so should be done outside and let it evaporate for a couple nights I would think - minimum.
Hey thanks for the video
It quite clearly states on the tin it is for internal use
It does in fact state that but some people reported success so I wanted to try it.
Thanks for showing me in the right direction. I'm in South Africa so it is a right hand drive and my wire is white with silver dots. Just for notes.
Awesome, this was exactly what I was looking for. :)
You use 0w 20 😂? Mine uses 5w 20. Bro got me second guessing myself 😂😂
The first generation 2007-2008 in the US use 5w20. Everything after that is 0w20. 5w20 definitely won’t hurt for up to 2014 since its the same engine as the first generation.
@@thehondafitguy i got 2009 😂😂 cool tho
@@blu2697I’m actually wrong looks like until 2010 they say 5w20 learn something new every day.
@@thehondafitguy yeah dude, love my Honda fit though, i lay my seats down and can haul anything. Still under 100k miles for like another month. In my opinion it’s one of the most well designed cars I’ve seen, interior wise.
@@blu2697 I've been putting 0w20 in my 09 for years now. No issues.
🤢
arrow up, it is placed upside down
No the arrow should face down. It is indicated for airflow direction which is down in this case. It may be different for another vehicle but all Hondas I’ve seen are down.
Thank You, ThankYou. Same problem on 2012 Honda Fit. Dreaded taking it in today so researched and found your video. Easy Fix and no more annoying locks off and on while driving.
I’m starting to wonder how common this problem is. Glad I could help.
I have the same problem. Does everything still work as alarm wise
Yes the honda alarm still functions like factory.
i have the same problem!
Any tips on removing the red wire ? I tried different types of needles and I can’t plug it out
Thank you!!!
I have a 2015 honda city which is having the exact same issue with the same symptoms that you mentioned Honking the horn or rolling up the windows (even the passenger window switches) causes the locks to cycle a few times, I noticed it happens way more when it's cold outside. Do you think I could fix the issue the same way you demonstrated? And why do you think this issue comes up in the first place?
It is definitely possible that it is the same setup and fix since they appear to share the same platform as the Jazz/Fit. However I'm not having luck finding the wiring diagrams for a Honda City so I can't confirm that. The cause is probably the microswitch on the door latch assembly is wearing out and has burnt contacts. My guess is if you disassembled the latch and cleaned the contracts in the microswitch it would work as good as new. Unfortunately I am only making educated guesses as I know very little about the Honda City beyond its wikipedia page.
Thank you Great temporary fix 👍🏻
Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works.
@@thehondafitguy lol I used this for my wife’s car and is probably permanent
Don’t buy a GDI engine unless it’s also port injected as well …
Those traction boards suck. Definitely not buying them. Thanks for the review.
EGR on direct injection is a bloody stupid thing.
Do you know how hard it was to find this video to give the answer that I was looking for I have been searching looking all over for the reference of strength test of tight Bond wood glue to foam because I'm making a foamy build and I wanted to know what was the better adhesive to connecting the two Yhank you
Just needed to know what size wrench to bring out with me. 17 mm for the drain bolt. Got it. Thanks!
Honestly, a very well-done vide! Kinda meat'n'potatoes guy stuff. Gave me some good product insight. 👍
thanks!
I’m glad it helped

2013 honda fit base same issues but only happened once during a bad winter storm great info love ur channel sm my fit came from upstate ny and have some of the same issues beware of the drum brakes from hell pay someone fr
If anyone has learned anything from my channel its that upstate ny is ruthless to vehicles including Honda Fits. I may do a video on drum brakes in the future if that’s how you feel. A good pair of vise grips can make all the difference when working with the springs. I did have one drum job go down hill because I had to replace the wheel cylinders which required me to replace the short brake lines on the axle too.
I appreciate the circuit diagram. It's above my paygrade, but shows your dedication.
Great job!👍
If he removed the wiper arms & both upper & inner cowlings, he'd have a lot more room to move things around 😮
At 7:18 I acknowledge that. It was a combination of me wanting to see if it could be done without removing the cowling and my stubbornness of not wanting to spend 5 minutes removing something that would save me 20+ minutes of suffering. You live and learn. To all the people watching I will be removing the cowling on my 200,000 mile service.
@@thehondafitguywas just watching different vids of this procedure to see if it can be done without removing the cowling. Appreciate you trying, and letting us know that "can" is not the same as should lol! Stoked to get mine done in the next couple weeks
It’s like you read my mind on what I wanted to see in a video and you made it. I LOVE your videos. Straight to the point ❤
