Honda Del Sol Parts

The Honda Del Sol, produced from 1992 to 1998, is a unique two-seat Targa top car, renowned for its open roof design, signified by its Spanish name "Del Sol" which means "the sun". This model featured a removable aluminum hardtop that could be conveniently stored on a hinged frame in the trunk, as well as an electric drop-down rear window. The Del Sol, which was the first open-air Honda marketed in the United States, was available with either manual or automatic "TransTop" roofs in select markets. First launched in Japan and Europe in 1992, the base model was equipped with a 1.5-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine and 13-inch steel wheels. Depending on the model and market, other options and features included a rear spoiler, custom floor mat, automatic transmission, power steering, heated mirrors, front fog lights, traction control, a limited-slip differential, and air conditioning. The Del Sol was introduced to the North American market for the 1993 model year as the Civic Del Sol. A notable addition to the line in 1994 was a model with a 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC engine producing 160 hp (119 kW) and larger 14-inch tires. By 1995, it was marketed simply as the Honda Del Sol, and 1997 marked the end of its production in North America. With a primary appeal of a manually removable 24-pound aluminum roof, the Honda Del Sol ensured the pleasure of an open-air driving experience without significantly compromising luggage space.

The Honda Del Sol, a semi-convertible Targa top vehicle, is admired by car enthusiasts, yet it's not immune to wear and tear. Primary issues often involve engine performance, noticeable by symptoms such as squealing or knocking noises, a burning oil smell, oil consumption, power loss during acceleration, hard or no starting, and overheating. These symptoms may point towards issues with the rod bearing, oil filter, drive belt, water pump, timing cover, valve cover gasket, or oil pan gasket, especially if the Check Engine Light comes on. Suspension failure is another concern, characterized by excessive vibration, shaky or loose steering, unintentional pulling to one side, grinding noises during turning, and severe damage to front tires and brakes, which could be related to the control arm, shock and strut member, control arm bushing or coil spring insulator. Additionally, routine maintenance of other parts like the emblem, hood latch, headlight switch, and window regulator is crucial for the overall upkeep of the Honda Del Sol.
