Here's to searching old posts. Thanks for posting!
I recently bought a 2007 Civic LX 5-spd. I went into the garage today around 10 minutes after my wife drove it home. I heard a swishing/gurgling noise that was coming from the engine area (sounded like water running through a pipe). It wasn't loud, but obviously noticeable from outside the car. My wife was using the A/C while she was driving, so I'm thinking it might be refrigerant-related. Any ideas? Is this normal? The car runs fantastic otherwise.
By the way, since there are only 25K miles on the car, is it still under factory warranty even if I'm the second owner?
Thanks,
Dave
I have heard "gurgling" noises before on cars, that were AC related. It could be normal, but noises like that that I've heard were pretty faint when they were normal.

And also...A squeal in what I thought was the engine at start-up, turned out to be
a low level of power steering fluid in the reservoir. This problem was a head-scratcher for both my local garage and the local Honda dealer, and it took a $9 inquiry to an online guy to point out the problem to me.
I know nothing about cars and was hoping someone could help me here. I don't have a lot of money but I need to get my car fixed. A few months ago a black piece from underneath my car fell off under the engine, it was dragging for a long time and a few times my husband was able to put it back up with some ties, but then it fell completely off. So, recently some 2 pieces above the tire shredded and both fell off and now the bumper is lose. I am wondering if this is something I can buy myself and fix by just screwing theses pieces back in or if I need to go to an autobody shop. If I need to go to an autobody shop can someone give me an estimate of what I should be paying... I seem to get taken advantage of when I go to the auto shops so I'd like to go in prepared. I also do not have my husband around to help me with this. Thanks.
The 5 speed manual Corolla's been a fantastic car; unbelievably reliable, still gets 38 MPG with 201K miles on it, everything still works and the car runs and drives fine, and it's reasonably comfortable. However, I'm getting older and while driving a stick at times is still enjoyable for me, it's a real pain in the [non-permissible content removed] in heavy traffic, so I want my next car equipped with an automatic.
While I like '03 and newer Corollas, I like the '06 and newer Civics better. Not only are they better looking, they just seem to be a better car all around. I absolutely love the Civic's 5 speed automatic. However, I have heard some things about the latest gen Civics that leaves a little cautious about buying one.
Some have said they're reliability isn't up to the levels of the previous gens.
Some have said the 5 speed auto is problematic.
Some have said to stay away from the '06 model because since that was the first model year of the current gen, they were still working out some bugs so it had more problems that later year models.
Is there any truth to any of these statements? Is there anything else about this car I should consider before buying one?
Personally, I love the two-tier dash as I find it easier to see the speed while still looking straight ahead...a safe design eventhough the jury is split 50/50 on this design. I've had them all in the past, Toyota, Nissan & currently have a Mazda and Hyundai also in the stable and I like my Civic the best. All great econoboxes really and we're all very happy!

Now, it's getting into the 20s and the sound just started coming up again while i was driving on the freeway. After several attempts of driving and stopping and trying to figure where the sound was coming from... strangely, the sound disappears again.
Had an uncle look at the car and there didn't seem to be any issues with the belts or low in fluids.... DOES ANYONE WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE????
Thanks
