The exact same thing happened to mine, my mechanic replaced both the vtec solenoid and the oil pressure switch, they both need to replaced at the same time as they talk to each other, I havnt had a problem since
But my one is good but sometimes running late I dont know what is the problem now?

Can someone confirm there is no isofix in the 3rd row/back row? Thanks
2 answers
I don't think so. Only in the two outside seats 2nd/middle row. Also be aware the top tether straps from the 2nd/middle row pass over the top of the 3rd row seats. You can easily fit 3 full harness kids seats across the middle row. Also finally, the 3rd row is the least safe in a car crash, it's listed in the handbook as being part of the crumple zone. So I'd consider it for occasional use only.
Hi thanks for the reply. I guess you're referring to the 8 seater version. That's a shame but makes sense given what you mention about the 3rd row being in the crumple zone. Makes the 7 seater option slightly less attractive, as without the 3rd row there are only 4 seats! So most people would be utilizing the 3rd row ( I imagine) with this 7 seater version.
That is strange about the 2nd row anchors. I always thought the anchors were located on the rear of the seat (so no obstruction/intrusion to the 3rd row seats).
Here in NZ the 7 seater is model name is L (or LS from 2018) and is the more expensive version. The 8 seater is the S and has fabric seats.
In Aus I think they are called VTI-L and VTI respectively.

A dealer told me yesterday that all Honda Odesseys in Australia had timing chains. However, i seem to be getting conflicting advice. Can anyone tell me for certain please. I am looking around at the 2004 to 2008 year models. Thanks heaps.

Hi. I would like to purchase a Honda Odyssey around 2004 - 2008 year models. However, I am concerned by reviews that suggest they have a big problem with battery drain, either from an inadequate battery or faulty electrics draining the battery after a short time. Does anyone know if this has been a real issue for them? Thanks heaps
Karenasked
Could you please tell me what exterior & interior colors were available in the Honda Odyssey from 2004 - 2008 & what minor shape changes were done to it during that time for the Australian market. Thanks heaps for your help.

Does the 2007 model uses a cam or timing belt or chain?

Hello there,
With the VTI model, can the third row still be occupied if I have two child seats on the outer seats of the second row? I'm worried about the tether straps that goes all the way back and the access to the third row. Thanks

Hi, the straps are going to the back side of the 2nd row seats of VTiL model, so no issues with accessing 3rd row seats. Not sure about VTi.
I have the VTi-L which has different seats so I can't really answer for the VTi
Thanks for your replies. I've test drove the vtil and I'm familiar with it's anchoir points. Would have been great if it's an 8 seater.

What is wrong if my Honda oddest is using a lot of oil and smoking a lot from the exhaust?
2 answers
Hi Angela,
Need some more information.
1. How much oil? x Liters per 100km?
2. Smoke: black, blue or white smoke? Does it smoke only when cold, that is, when starting? Or does it smoke all the time?
3. How many kilometers has the car done?
Not being rude, but I am not a mechanic

Is there a manual over ride for the electronic rear folding seats? Fuses are all good, seats won't fold down.
