Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot and Fit parts from Dubai for export

The Accord is the Honda we are asked about most. Wikipedia's engine articles list the K20A, K24A and J30A in the Accord of 2003 to 2007, and its model article says Honda launched the eighth generation, the CP codes, for the GCC at a Dubai event on 6 November 2007, with a 2.4 litre four or a 3.5 litre V6. The ninth, from 2012, lists the CR1, CR2 and CR3 sedans with R20Z, K24W and J35Y engines, and its coupe was sold in North America and the Middle East only.

In the eighth generation Wikipedia names the K24Z2 at 177 bhp for the LX, the K24Z3 at 190 bhp for the EX and the 3.5 litre J35Z2 V6 at 268 bhp. The tenth is the CV1 to CV3, with a 1.5 litre turbo, L15BE or L15BG, a 2.0 litre turbo K20C4 and a hybrid. The eleventh was launched in the Middle East on 23 July 2023 in LX, EX and EXL petrol trims and Sport and EXL hybrid trims. Egypt's tenth-generation car used the L15BE rated 188 hp.

Civic codes run FD, FA and FG for 2005 to 2012, FB and FG for 2012 to 2015, and FC and FK for 2016 to 2021. Wikipedia lists the 1.8 litre R18A1 for the first, the R18Z1 for the second and, in the FC, the 1.5 litre turbo L15B7 on the FC1 and FC3 and the R18Z1 on the FC6. Egypt received the FC in 2017, imported from Turkey with a 1.6 litre R16B in both trims, and the article says Egyptian Honda dealers no longer sold it by 2023.

The CR-V has run six generations. The K engine article lists the 2.4 litre K24Z1 in the RE3 and RE4 of 2007 to 2009 and the K24Z6 in 2010 to 2011, and the R engine article lists the 2.0 litre R20A in the RE1, RE2 and RE5 and the R20A6 in the RM1 and RM2 of 2012 to 2016. The Pilot is the YF1 and YF2 from 2003, YF3 and YF4 from 2009, YF5 and YF6 from 2016 and YG1 and YG2 from 2023, all on 3.5 litre J35 V6 engines; the first was sold as the MR-V in the Middle East.

The K family is the Accord and CR-V four. Wikipedia gives the K24 as 2,354 cc with an 87 by 99 mm bore and stroke, and the K20 as 1,998 cc at 86 by 86 mm. It lists the K24Z2 at 177 hp and the K24Z3 at 190 hp in the 2008 to 2012 Accord, the K24Z1 at 166 hp in the 2007 to 2009 CR-V, and the K24W9 at 185 hp in the 2015 to 2019 CR-V. The K20C turbo is a separate engine of 1,996 cc, in the 2018 to 2022 Accord.

R is the older Civic and CR-V family. The R18 is 1,799 cc at 81 by 87.3 mm and the R20 is 1,997 cc at 81 by 96.9 mm, with the R20A also listed in some Accords. The L family covers the Fit, Jazz and City: the L13A is 1,339 cc, the L15A is 1,497 cc at 73 by 89.4 mm, and the L15B7 turbo is rated 176 PS in the Civic FC. The article lists the Fit hybrid, the GP5 and GP6, with the LEB-H1 engine.

J is the V6 family, and it is belt driven. Wikipedia's J engine article gives the J35 as 3,471 cc at 89 by 93 mm, says all J engines use a single timing belt, and lists the J35Z4 in the 2009 to 2015 Pilot, the J35Y6 in the 2016 to 2022 Pilot and the J35Y1 in the 2013 to 2017 Accord. A V6 list therefore usually carries a belt, a tensioner and a water pump, the parts changed together, in our reading.

The same articles do not say whether the K, R and L fours use belts or chains, so we do not assume. A person confirms the timing drive from the engine code before quoting any timing kit, and flags a line that cannot be settled from the code and the VIN rather than guessing.

Nigeria is the clearest Honda market in our notes, although it is a parts market more than a new-car market: 6,358 new light vehicles were sold there in 2024. A paid Mordor Intelligence report, seen only in summary, lists the Accord with the Corolla and Camry among the common sedans, and Nairametrics' September 2025 guide to Lagos names Oyingbo as best known for Honda spares. A City People feature of August 2026 says Lagos dealers keep a Toyota and Honda corner. New brake pads need SONCAP, and a Form M comes first.

Zimbabwe's Honda is the Fit. Press summaries call the Fit and the Toyota Aqua the most visible cars there, with the Vezel and the Nissan Note also named. These are mostly Japanese-market cars, so Wikipedia's L engine article is the guide: the GE6 and GE7 carry the L13Z, the GE8 and GE9 the L15A7, the GK3 and GK4 the L13B, the GK5 and GK6 the L15B, and the hybrid GP5 and GP6 the LEB-H1. They are right-hand drive, so side-specific parts are quoted by part number only.

In the Gulf the names change. Honda uses Jazz in the Middle East and Africa and Fit in Japan and the Americas, and Wikipedia says the first-generation Pilot was the MR-V in the Middle East. The Accord is the Gulf's main Honda. Iraq is thinner: one of the eight clear Iraqi enquiries we hold was a Honda list, and it asked for Civic drive shafts, so a Gulf shop is not the only buyer who needs the drivetrain lines.

Georgia counts its cars by make. The Service Agency reported 71,274 Hondas among 1,912,866 registered cars in May 2025, 3.7% of the total, just behind Nissan's 71,497 and ahead of Mitsubishi's 56,792. Egypt's tenth-generation Accord used the 1.5 litre L15BE, so an engine list written for a Gulf 2.4 litre car will not fit it. In both countries the VIN comes before the part.

Honda lists from abroad are service-heavy. Filters, spark plugs and ignition coils follow the engine code. Brake pads and discs follow the trim and axle. Suspension arms, links, bushes and springs follow the generation. Cooling parts follow the engine family, because R and L fours, K fours and J V6s have different radiators and pumps. Lamps and bumpers change with the facelift year, so the build month matters as much on a Honda as on any other make.

Timing parts are where Honda lists go wrong. The J-series has a single timing belt according to Wikipedia, so a V6 Accord or Pilot list should carry the belt kit and the water pump together. The articles we read are silent on the K, R and L fours, so the drive is confirmed from the engine code before a kit is quoted. We know of no public numbering rule we can cite for Honda parts, so a person matches by the number printed on your old part and the VIN.

A pad ladder shows why a Honda quote names the brand. Dubai counter prices for Toyota's front pad set 04465-60380 on 3 November 2026, VAT included, ran from AED 322 for the genuine set to AED 216 for MK Kashiyama, a Japanese brake brand, and AED 58 to 73 for budget pads. We have not measured a Honda ladder in Dubai and print no Honda price. The ratios only show how far apart the grades can sit.

The word genuine proves little by itself, since one budget pad listing in Dubai calls itself genuine quality at AED 58. On every Honda line we therefore name the brand on the box, the number on the part and the label. Genuine is Honda-branded. OE-brand comes from a firm that supplies Honda or another carmaker directly, and the quote prints that firm's own name, with Denso and Aisin as examples from our report. Quality aftermarket is a named independent brand built to the original's dimensions.

Preferences differ by market, and buyers rarely state one: six in ten of our clear enquiries used no grade word. Our regional reading puts Georgia on aftermarket for older cars, because China and Turkey supply new parts cheaply there, and Nigeria on aftermarket wear parts with genuine for fleets. Ask for two grades on the same line and your agent sees the gap in dirhams before the order is final.

Honda sells different cars under one name. The Gulf Accord is listed with 2.4 litre and 3.5 litre engines, the Egyptian tenth-generation car used a 1.5 litre turbo, and the Fit sold in Japan is not the Jazz sold in the Gulf. Send the 17-character VIN, the engine code, the model code such as CP, CR, CV, FC or RM, the build month, the gearbox type and a photograph of the old part with its number.

Before you pay, read each quoted line for three things: the brand and the grade, the Honda number printed beside it, and the generation it was matched to. Ask for photographs of the parts with their numbers, and agree with your agent how and when the goods are collected in Dubai. A person confirms how to pay on WhatsApp. Quotes are by the list, at trade quantities; one or two pieces is not an order we take.
