if you unplug your battery for so long you ECU will reset. You will have to "RETRAIN" your ECU.

Yeah I got that. Some squeaks when I go on uneven roads and some rattling noise when I go into potholes. Its super hard for the SC to troubleshoot coz it doesn't happen all the time so mine's still an ongoing problem.

The loose seat issue is known in the City forums. Just have the SC tighten back the screws

Our car's insulation is crap...acceleration is clearly heard from gear 1-3 especially under hard acceleration. U can read Autocar Asean March 2011 edition where there is a comparison between Pug 207, Vios and City and its mention that the noise in the cabin is absurd!


Aww damn u driving the 5G city or the 4G one? If 5G then that's quick to have the air con KO.


Dunno if the batt will die if u leave the car there for 2 weeks. My colleague left his Vios for 1 month and when he came back the batt is dead. Another colleague of mine practiced pulling out the batt connectors when he go for overseas work and this help avoid draining the batt power. So I suggest pulling it out to avoid draining your batt.

what u mean by retrain the ecu?

Fully agreed~ The most unbearable issue about NHC is the sound insulation. After warranty ends, I would definitely go for sound proof and also change to whole set of quiet tyres instead of using the damn lousy stock Goodyear

Oh do keep in touch regarding about the squeaky /rattling sound. Yeah, it doesn't happen all the time that's the problem.

how come ur stock tyre so lousy one? mine is continental tyre man.

remove the negative side (usually black in colour) then wrap it in a non-conductive material (safe practice).

culprits for power drain are alternator (bad diode), alarm and or stereo.


Aircond kaput.....maybe the magnetic clutch, cheaper fix. Are they using the newer design where the lube is kept separate from the recirculating gas ?



I am driving the 3G phase 1 model, there's a makeover and the suspension had a complete revamp. Are they selling the dampers for both models which are different ? Anyone ?

Dont want to sound like a stickler for words but the correct acronym is NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) not NHC.

lolx I wonder what u so proud abt ur Continental tyre. It's just on par quality as lousy as Goodyear. In fact, you paid extra RM500 for these lousy Continental tyre

and I bet u dunno abt this, so FYI, for early batch of NHC, all using Goodyear tyre, but NHC selling price was RM89,980. When newer batch of NHC provided Continental tyre, the price has increased to RM90,480.00

Hi all city owner, I'm planning to get a CITY this year, but I wonder if the facelift version is coming out in this year since the current model is being selling for 2 years already.

more or less will be launch the facelift lastest by end of the year, or early next year..

source? it's just my prediction anyway

Based on common sense that every 3 years only launch facelift ma, so end of this year just fulfil the requirement..

Sound proofing is the way to go but it adds weight and u need to spend $$$ on it while other cars sound insulation is better hence their owners save on that...sigh. About the tyre I got the same brand as u. Loud and balding quickly. I reckon another year or so before I need to change new set.

Means the ECU needs to learn your driving behavior again. Better acceleration and better FC are usually associated with an ECU that has learnt your driving habits. It also depends on what type of fuel ur using and how often u stick to that type of fuel too.

It has been there for months. SC asked I monitor and bring in when the sound happens more often. They MUST fix it before the warranty ends.

Ur correct. Either end of this year or early next year. They better improve on the bloody crap sound insulation and at least add a button for all door lock and open like the Vios. Vehicle Stability Control addition like the new Jazz would be a very good feature to add and please a hidden radio antenna?

What is the bigger/widest tire size we can fit to our E Spec Honda City? 205/50/16? Thanks

Hey Seancorr, the warranty period is one year right?

Guys, if i drive downhill genting, should i use ''D'' or ''S'' mode? I dunno what ''S'' mode does.

I heard Honda City brake tend to overheat, and can't always brake. That's why need lower gear. Anyone?

Bro, you may use paddle shift to change to low gear if necessary, coz i always use that when downhill.

Added on May 24, 2011, 9:59 pmHi bros,

I am planning to do some sound proof on my 4 doors on NHC. May i know any one can recommand to me on nice installation and price?

Thank you.

So which what tyre brand you recommend bro?

I like your comment.... Both tyres are lousy stock tyres... Once u've changed to after-market UHP tyres, u will feel the difference

Is westlife = prataboy = ??? Sounds and posts like him...... Honda fanboy.....

nah not really.dis guy some times do speak more sense than prataboy aka kindaichi.

i am not proud of it. just it does not give me any prob so far.

the increase is not due to the change of tyre but due to the increase of currency yen that time. i think ur justification is not logical at all.

if u can afford a rm90k car, i believe rm500 increment of the price is not a big concern actually. unless u stretch ur wallet by struggling ur ownself to get this car.

yea , totally agree . and mine is also good year , changed 2 tyres within 2 month when i first got the car . and too many complains hence they change to continental . which is much more better than our local 1 . 185/16 for RM200 ~RM250 . I can get a racing tyre with that price . damn .
