2012-2015 Honda Civic Air Intake Hose Replacement - disconnect Negative Battery cable first 

Hey everyone thanks for watching. On the video I made an error by disconnecting the POSITIVE battery cable first. THE PROPER WAY is to disconnect the NEGATIVE battery cable first. When connecting the cables, connect Positive cable first and Negative cable second.

Thanks - good video. I just did my 2012 Civic, took about an hour and 15 minutes, also cleaned the throttlebody while I was there. Didn’t have to disconnect battery though. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. This is the only video that shows the detailed steps I found.

Thanks about to do this. I will mention that it's common for the transmission cap to pop out on these cars. The reason is your transmission breather cap is plugged! It's building pressure and pops the fill cap off! You need to remove the transmission breather it's a black little L shaped rubber thing close to the fill cap area. Take it off and clean out the little pin size hole on the side of it and put it back on. Solves the cap coming off. Just need to check the breather every now and then and clean it. I try to do it during oil changes if I remember haha. Hope you see this comment and others check your breather caps! 😊

Thank you for this video. Just did mine for my wife’s car.

Great video! Thanks for detailed explanation and making life easier with this vehicle.

Great video. I just changed mines on my 2012 civic. Last week. It's a common problem with these cars. I notice mine was running lean when I had the old one on with a tear in it.

OEM Part number from the dealership is: 17225-R1A-A01. Costed me $19 after tax. Relatively simple job took me about an hour 15 and most of that time was the grommet. For reinstalling grommet it helps to remove the rubber and put it into the intake box first. Thank you for this video!

explain every step in details very carefully , so so good video , thank you very much

thank you very much, just changed my Honda Civic 2012 got same yours.

Thanks for the video. I changed my air intake hose a few days ago, and found exactly the same 2 cracks you did (in the same places and the same sizes). My 2013 Civic only has 50,000 miles, and I was so surprised that the hose was so shredded. Also surprised that I've been able to drive around without noticing this, maybe for months or years. Fuel economy improved by around 15% after replacing the hose, cleaning the throttle body, and cleaning the MAF sensor. Likely the intake hose replacement had the biggest positive impact.

Recommend using silicone spray when working with rubber parts. Spray a little and it will make it easier ro remove. Once removed, use a little bit in of that spray to the grummets then reconnect, much easier to install. You can also use a little bit of silicone paste to thoee grummets so next time it will be a piece of cake to work in that area.

Thank you sir, you made this easy-peasy and I appreciate the effort.

Thank you Welking! Use 7/32 sae socket (or if you have a super rare 5.5mm) - preferably 1/8" socket size with extension, just easier to move around. I will also say THANK YOU Welking, you're THE ONLY video to properly show how to pop that rear $^%##$%^& grommet lol ( @4:32 )-spray it with WD40 when reattaching. Also, The hose clamps usually stink - just reuse the old ones, but be sure to spray them first. LASTLY!!! IMPORTANT- VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE, and I see it on Welkings car too! PAUSE this video at @2:21, and look at the shiny rubber plug on the left side -- That needs to get plugged back in -- (((it looks like one of those Jewish dreidel toys with a hook on top))!

Also check the lower motor mount. Mine was broken leading to excessive movement when the motor is under load to move.

*My car was hesitating and jerking...* Yep there was a rip on the *intake hose* just like this. $20 fix. 👍🏾

Good video man.... I appreciate it.

Might make the job easier to have just removed the cowling so you can access everything easier

I changed the one in my wife’s Odyssey but that one was much easier to access. I think for my civic I might get the shop to do it 😂

Good job thank you

Great video!

Let me tell you something. First, great video, you explained so much and great video quality. Second I struggled so much getting thos stupid little screws off for the clamps. OMG they were just in the worst spot and i had to used multiple different tools and patience 😂. The hardest part was taking out the air filter. TIP: Unscrew everything and make sure you take off the electrical thing in the back. You have to use force to get that thing out, like use your biceps eith it from the right side. Putting it back on was a struggle too, but much easier

Those clamps and especially the screws on them are really weird. I was able to reuse them. Put some grease on before reinstalling. Mind that it's much easier to screw and unscrew them using a socket,not a screwdriver. I figured 5.5 mm one it's a perfect fit, after trying quite a few sizes.

Nice video

Maybe you can help me guys i did this installation and after i test the car the engine ,tpsm , steering light came on and a lound noise come from exaust any idea would be apretiate it

How did you remove the grommet?

Negative battery terminal first always

Great video I fix my car

Great video I FIX MY CAR ❤

Thanks for the video! I gotvthe same issue right now in the process of replacing the tube. I have a hard tine removing the sensor plug. How did you remove it? Do you have to compress the plug to be able to remove it or just pulling it off? Thanks for the help.

Do you have to remove the air filter box? It looks like you can replace the air intake hose without taking out the box.

Thx

Did you use oem part? Was your car hesitating of this air intake maybe being ripped?

great video...Thank you!

I have a 2015 civic, I notice that when idling during the day it idles around 600 but I can feel the vibrations through the steering wheel and floor(they aren’t that bad just noticeable), some say engine mounts but then again why would at night time idle around 700 and there is no vibration? Is it a vacuum leak? I replaced the MAP SENSOR, and was thinking about replacing the MAF sensor next but I want to make sure before throwing parts at it..

I had the same crack on the intake hose on my 15 CRv. I guess its common this generation of CRvs.

Where did you buy the air intake hose and how much? Part number?

Hello I put the air intake on but broke a hose connected to the throttle right by the intake piece. I can not find information on the piece to fix it or possible seal it.

I replaced the air intake hose as my current one had holes. It fixed the hesitation when accelerating, but now I have a whistling/squeaking sound developing immediately after the fix. It is related to the crankcase pressure I suppose, as if I pull out the dipstick, the release in pressure eliminates the noise, until it builds back up again when replacing the dipstick. Any ideas?

Hello, thanks for the video. I've replaced the hose but now engine is loud when accelerate, any clue?

I have a very stupid question I own a 2006 highlander limited but I can't find these part anywhere an a parts expert online told me that the 2012 -2015 from a civic would fit perfect and do the job since both are the same size and they both from Japan it's that some how truth ?

Do u recommend getting air intake hose from Honda only?

Hey man why didnt you cleaned the throttle body before putting that hose. Looking at how clean your engine was i thought it would be a good idea.Clean that engine man, its sick.

What size socket for the original hose clamps?

How long does it take to change it ?

Thx for info on buddha

Hey guys my 2014 honda civic ex have this issue where the hose is cracked !! I just found out , i have check engine lights on and the car hesitates when i speed up also it turns off when i quickly put it in drive after reversing!! U guys think its because of the crack ? Or i might have more issues ?

You said negative first, but you disconnected positive first.

Negative terminal 1st. The ground needs removed 1st. If u do positive first u are removing the circuit causing shorts

Please remove NEGATIVE terminal first!

NOW REPLACE THE MAF SENSOR AND THE TOP OXYGEN SENSOR. IT WILL RESTORE THE POWER TO THE ENGINE. SMOOTH OUT YOUR IDLE. RESTORE THE ORIGINAL GAS MILEAGE. NIGHT AND DAY. YOU CAN THANK ME LATER.
