Hello there! Congrats on your trusty '04 Pilot! Just want to know if you replaced rear a/c evaporator (I didn't know there is a separate rear ac component) and how? Also how many times have you replaced the timing belt? Thanks!
How about 225,000! No major work other than regular scheduled maintenance.. Full synthetic changes every4-5 K miles. No heat but it's 97 degrees right now. 2005 Ex awd
2004 Pilot 205,00 miles. Lower control arms, front wheel bearings, inner-outer tie rod ends, 1 fuel injector. Timing belt at 100,000, ready to do again.
2005 EXL just broke 200,000. Most of these miles are city miles too. The ole family truckster still has plenty more life in her. Recently did timing belt and suspension replacements. Also some clear coat touch ups. Other than that well just continue with routine maintenance and keep driving it till the wheels fall off. :-D
New here but have '06 Pilot Ex 208K miles and changed out the timing belt kit at 190K miles. Bought all suspension parts (upper & lower control arms, tie rods, front & rear struts, etc.) and plan to do valve adjustment as well. we've had this car since '08
2007 Honda Pilot... Currently at 209k miles, I've owned it since 160k miles ... runs great other than a random alarm problem I am having. Honestly has ran like a dream until this recent issue which has brought me to the forum.

Basic tuning on 2008 Pilot EXL 209,200 miles. Managed to change the spark plugs. I had to impale myself on the hood latch in order to reach the back 3 plugs. Oil/Filter: Despite covering the ground under the oil receptacle/tub, the old oil spurted way beyond the tub and all over me. Removing the filter was also a mess. I have never had a car where the oil filter hung straight down. The last item before I turn the car over to a mechanic is to again try to install a used Tow Bar, removed from another 2008 Pilot. Really hard to do as a single person! I leave the fluid draining to the pros!

I recently bought Bank one (firewall side) Catalytic converter for my 2005 With both Oxygen sensors & gaskets and bolts. But before I could get it installed I had an accident :( My loss - ur gain Paid $270. For all Shipped to you in Continental USA for $225. Thanks Sent from my SM-G975U...
2004 EX-L with 202,500 and still purrs like she did on day 1 (july 2004). We've kept up on all the manufacturers suggested maintenance and with timing belt recently done, we just got our first check engine light. Dealer told us it is for the Transmission (P0740-torque converter control system failure). No symptoms, but light on means no resale value. $2,500 estimate to replace with warranty sounds fair, but after $1,500 for timing belt last month that puts us at $4,000 this year in maintenance. KBB values the car right around that!
I've made the decision that when our 05's transmission goes that will be it.
I think you should call it a day, your pilot is now officially a money pit.

With no symptoms of transmission problems, other than the check engine light, AND a new timing belt in, I think we are going to drive it till it needs to be towed. I read another thread about changing to Redline Synthetic fluid and 1/3 change outs every 15K miles. Seems like a band-aid that could work for a while. Only question now is can the check engine light be cleared or disconnected from the transmission to monitor other functions of the car?
For those who looking to installing reverse aftermarket camera or replacement HUD with a reverse camera that needs a positive + reverse wire.
I've done couple search in the past and now to no available, so here it is.
Hope this helps!!!

I have a bad wet spot on my front passenger floor, sometimes it shows up on the front driver side as well. I taped off my sunroof thinking it was the drain hoses and it still happened. Currently not running my Ac/Heater being advised it could involve those, but the engine has been running cool...
I purchased a Monroe Quick Strut kit from Rock Auto and a set of cheap $69.99 Chinese Goodshop-US lower control arms on Ebay for my 2005 EX-L. The front end is now around 2 inches higher than the rear and my garage refuses to do an alignment because the "shocks aren't correct". I plan to put...
My 2005 Pilot has been great for the 50k miles I've put on it. I acquired it at 125k. As far as I'm concerned the car is amazing with one exception...the transmission. Honda apparently knew this too and made some changes installing a modified version in 2005, which corrected some issues from...
I have a 2007 with 155K miles on it. It makes a loud whirring noise that gets louder when you accelerate. Based on this my mechanic replaced both front wheel bearings and hubs. It was still making the noise so he replaced the intermediate shaft on the front passenger side.
Still making the...
