yaya..Hopefully they dun let Proton rebadge any cars

Hmm for the NVH ... IMO when speeding over 100kmh.. best is for you to test drive and see if the noice is acceptable to you.

Latio > City > Vios

My regards to all fellow Honda Sifu's

I own a Honda City 1.5Vtec and this is the problem i am facing:

1) on a slow speed, the car chokes (when i release accelerator pedal, the car sorts of choke forward - not smooth cruise & when i accelerate again it chokes backward)

2) if i idle too long (IE in a jam) this scenario happens.

3) when i cruise (release accelerator) it is not smooth (choking effect - as if the car is having resistance to go forward smoothly)

4) all this happens only on low gear ratio? i mean the starting 10 - 30 km/h (NOT idle to 10km/h)



p.s. Someone has suggested that i do a start clutch recalibration which i have done, below is what i have done.

[I]http://www.hondafitjazz.com/manual/A00/HTM...6881BBAT00.HTML

Calibration Procedure with Driving the Vehicle


1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature (the radiator fan comes on).
2. Start the engine under no-load conditions, then turn the headlights on. (That means no aircond, no radio, do heaters)
3. Start off in [D] position, and drive the vehicle until vehicle speed reaches 60 km/h (37 mph), then decelerate the vehicle in more than 5 seconds without pressing the brake pedal to reach completion.
4. Test-drive the vehicle to verify that a problem does not occur on the start clutch control system.

I am confused of the problem. From what i know, the Vtec gearbox has a WIDE variety of problems and i do not know what to diagnose it for. Knowing the peeps from the Honda Workshop will encourage a change of gearbox (RM 30k) which is not what i sign up for.

Your opinion and advice is highly appreciates. Please advice. Thanks

A confuse Honda City owner.

Hi guys,

Both side of my lower arm behind the disc brakes are rusty and my car just went in for 10k service.

That's normal for City, know it since first day I collected my car.

Guess you can request SC to spray it for you.

I think SC can spray it for you

Hi guys,
Based on the Honda Scheduled Maintenance from online, it's need to follow either month or mileage..
Can we only follow mileage but not month??

mine is vibration during slow reverse... suddenly can hear the hood, *grrrr* then ok already

already recalibrated, etc, like not much difference...

same also City VTEC CVT 2008

whichever comes first ...

if u drive a lot, mileage method will apply

if u dont drive much, monthly method will apply

but in manual, it says severe driving method - 5k km

if normal should be 10k, but our sc all recomend 5k interval / 3 months

and most other brands sc, if use fully syn, service interval is 10k ...

Guys, I still using mineral oil. Is it recommended change to full-synthetic? My mileage from April until Nov is only 2050km..

Guys,

During which km of services, sc will change the air filter for us?

I'm planning to buy Honda City E Series by next year February.

I have looked at all other manufacturers and and the S series. Following is why I have my eyes on this model:
1. 5 gear with stereng gear shifters
2. 6 speakers
3. slightly larger wheels than S series

Would love any comment and feedback on this car. Thanks in advance.

anyone have the service list from sc for 100k? Which item they will change and can it doing at outside since very exp? Think to service outside to save some cost since no more warranty after 100k

Slightly larger wheels than S series is attractive indeed
