hi guys,

need some solid advise or comment.

i own a honda city year 2004 cvt.

may i know where or how do i clean the IACV (idle air control valve)?

or izzit kenot be clean and need to change?

if change, where you guys know where to sell?

chop shop or spare part shop?

anyone has this problem in ther city?

thanks a lot.

Same fate here. I've ordered mine since May. When did you ordered?

Heard from the SA that the NHC facelift will be delayed somewhere around April 2012....

ordered mine since mid Aug. Which SA did you go to? got any update from them on the situation?

city shouldn't face delay bcoz its ckd here not cbu from thailand

unless the ckd factory here is facing parts shortage from thailand

I've called Honda Malaysia and they can't confirm a date for me. They've mentioned the earlier batch before mine got delayed as well. It's the parts shortage from Thailand so they say. Seriously dunno to trust them or not. Ordered mine from KAH motor, Penang.

guys ... just wanna check .. how much did ur 40k service cost u guys ???

no! don't you ever change your chamber kit, unless it really necessary.
I call it adjustable chamber screw. Once you change it, you'll find it becomes more worst, almost everymonth need to do alignment.

Do you know some tayar shop using adjustable screw purposely to ensure your tayar tread/surface cepat botak?
You'll find the tire always unbalance on the surface (bunga makan sebelah).

last time my first car, I change it on 1st week got my car. Damn, alway every month need to do alignment + tire surface botak/not balance. End up I found the tire shop purposely do that. I learn it from my friend who is mechanic.

so more, it really hard the camber screw will damages/bend unless you hit the pothole really hard.

anyway, the camber screw also usable for other purpose.

2. what brand do you guys go for?
3. how much and where is the location?

Added on October 19, 2011, 5:22 pm1. I changed mine at 32k coz got a sidewall puncture on one tyre... decided to go for 205/50/R16 so changed all 4.. I got friends whom managed to go up to 60k before changing but dangerous coz can see the metal frame d.. hehe

2. I went for Yokohama.. reasonable low budget tyres... grip good, wearing is slow.. but just a bit noisy but more quiet than stock Goodyear/Continental tyres

3. I got mine 1 and half years ago at RM250.. lately is RM280.. can get from Sunway... but if go to Klang (Kilang Papan) can get for RM250-RM260...

4. Yours is E spec same as me.. 185 is correct but hard to find this tyre size.. so shop will recommend u to go for 195/55 instead of 185/60... but i suggest u go for 205/50.. lessor different in speedometer reading...

but i am only changing 2 tyres, wud it cause any problem to the car while having 2 different sizes?

"but i suggest u go for 205/50" >> need to change the rim?

"lessor different in speedometer reading" >> what do you mean?

if you go for wider size,then you are advice to locate it at rear axle for optimum handling purpose, 185/55-16 can't say hard to find,just those few brand available are no cheap also.
stock rim can use 205/50-16 also,but u will found the tire is fatter than the rim as the rim width is only 6JJ
"lessor different in speedometer reading" ,here you go
you gain better handling,gripping and performance for wider tire,but at the same time it will affect ur fuel consumption also,so better choose what you really need for your car

just my 2cents

Do you guys service your aircond & at which kms? The SC asked me to service mine at 20k kms as the SA said is recommended but I refused saying the aircond is still running well.

dont do it, unless u having probem with ur AC ie, not cold..

Anyone have this problem? Feel got sound on the accelerate sound when peddling while the air con fan start functions.. Then I wait the air con fan idling around each 3 seconds then paddle again the sound is normal.. But when the air con fan start again will got a sound unnormal..

My uncle owns a shop servicing aircond... basically you do not need to service your aircond unless there are problems with it. You can drive your car without servicing the aircond for years... no problem

Hi,

Was thinking of buying a Honda City. Where's the best place to buy it and get a good deal?
