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?
Do I need to remove the evap canister is I need to replace the heater core? Is there a way to leate the evap canister untouched?
If not is there a way to lock the AC so it does not leak in the environment or do I need to drain it to a specialist first
All of my transmission problems have been solved with VCMuzzler and drain and fills.
Since I purchased the car, it had Goodyear Assurance Tripletred tires on it. The rears are pretty low on tread but the fronts have about 50%. There are a few little chunks missing (I forget what that's called)...
Having an issue trying to get into the diagnostic screen on the navigation system. I’ve tried holding down the three recommended buttons and nothing happens just stays on the Pin code screen can’t even input one cause it does nothing and then eventually gos black. I’ve tried popping out the DVD...
