The Unsung Hero: The 3.5L V6 Engine Powering the Truck
Peering into the engine bay, you’ll notice that every 2017 Odyssey is motivated by Honda’s J-series 3.5-litre V6. For this is an engine lauded across the globe not for outright aggression, but something much more crucial in a family lugger: creamily linear power delivery and sledgehammer strength. It’s a powerplant that never moans or groans, whether it’s undertaking the short stop-start school run, or cruising along for hours on end at 110km/h down the Forrest Highway.
The day this Odyssey landed, our first order of business was to inspect the well-being of its powertrain. Our technicians have been at this for 15+ years and we know exactly where to look. We started the engine and it ran sweet as a nut, which says something for you’re tuning and servicing. We shot a video of it running before we removed it so that you can be confident in what you are buying. For a struggling Odyssey owner looking at the cost and complexity of a serious engine problem, this V6 is something of an enlightened alternative. The engine is available as either a complete drop in package, which would include everything to get the motor back up and running including accessories & long block for repair if desired.
The V6 is hooked up to a 6-speed automatic transmission that births the electricity without breaking a sweat. We tested it and scrutinized it to make sure that it engages cleanly, shifts without fail. The transmission fluid was also clean, which is a good indication for a healthy gearbox. This 100% factory-guaranteed powertrain solution from WA Auto Parts is the perfect blend of economy AND performance!
The Power of Access: Power Sliding Doors & Tailgate
Ask any Odyssey owner what they love about their vehicle and you’ll probably get the same answer: The power sliding doors! Pulling up in a narrow perth car park with your hands full of shopping bags and toddler, to open the door at the flick of a button—that my friends is magic! It stops door dings from other cars and loads you kid into a car seat easily.
But the intricate systems of these doors can fail with age, and a fix involving new parts from a dealer is liable to be eye-wateringly expensive. This is where our 2017 Odyssey rides to the rescue. We have the entire left and right power slide door assemblies. And this is not just the door shell – it also has a motor, a pair of rollers, cables and the electronic control module you’ll need to make a complete repair. They are high turnover items and a tested, guaranteed assembly from us is the most cost effective solution.
You can say the same of the power tailgate. This is a convenience you won’t want to live without fast enough. Our complete tailgate assembly with motor, struts and latch mechanism now has a second life installed in a different vehicle so that little bit of security and everyday luxury are once again at peace.
The interior and electronic components of the Command Centre – a tour
An Odyssey’s interior is a multipurpose place, a dining room and movie theatre and refuge. The inside of our 2017 is in great shape and has a lot of parts to renew or repair your own auto.
Full Leather Interior: You will notice the upholstery of this vehicle is a comfortable full leather. We have seats for all three rows. These are in great shape, perfect for replacing a torn or stained set in your own car or an upgrade to a plush carpet from cloth!
Infotainment and Navigation: At the core of the vehicle sits the dual-screen Honda Link system. The upper nav/reverse camera screen and the lower audio and settings screen can both be seen being tested in the photos and are fully operational. A broken screen can be very frustrating, and our real replacement part is exactly what you need.
RES: That one’s easy – nothing calms the kids like the factory system on long trips. We have the parts for it – screen in the ceiling, dvd player.
Honda VAC: Available on higher-spec models, a Honda VAC vacuum cleaner is a world of difference when cleaning up crumbs and sand. If this vehicle had that, we have the proven system for sale from boot to hose and attachments.
Dash + Console: The entire dash assembly, instrument cluster and center console are all in very good condition with no cracks or sun damage that can take place.
Finding the Perfect Fit: Panels, Lights and Wheels
Bump it A small hit can cause a big headache when dealing with cosmetic repairs. The Great:Our silver Odyssey was cultivated from several clean, straight oe body panels. Why use a genuine part, factory fresh painted panel from us? You receive the prefect colour match and fit straight out of the box, saving you time ansd money at the bodyshop. We got the bonnet, front guards, bumper and mirrors here.
The big clear headlights are on offer, along with the distinctive taillights. They have been tested for clarity and function, so they do not obstruct your view or the vehicle’s drive safety. The car also rides on a cadillac set of original type Honda alloy wheels that are great to slap on for a spare wheel or cheap updrade from steel rims.
