Just gone through the honda thailand official website and find out that there are many assecories ( http://www.hondaaccess.co.th/#/EN/LineUp/City, http://www.hondaaccess.co.th/pdf/City.pdf) for city which have not been offered by Honda Malaysia and some of the price are even more cheaper compared to the same prdt which have been listed in Honda Malaysia website.

My question is can i install those assecories in Honda Thailand (will travel there soon) and will this void my warranty?

It is depends on what accessories you installed, if it is just plug and play and then should be no problem in claiming warranty.

Bro, since you are visiting Thailand soon, mind to get me the 'piano black interior panel'? I've been looking for it even before I got my car, but too bad it isn't available in Malaysia.  sad.gif

What issues are you facing bro?
*
After a week of receving my new car, there are some ‘clicking’ noise (3-4 seconds) from the engine after de-acceleration (if the rpm fall btw 1.5-2). The noise will continue to appear if low speed maintained in between 1.5-2rpm.
I had complained in the 1st service but being told that Saturday only for maintenance service. So i bring in again after few days and the SA told me that jz let the engine run through the break-in period cz it still new. If still appear, complain in 2nd service.
I did my 2nd service in last week and unfortunately they told me that the noise is created from the engine part (if not mistaken is related to the bearing). They told me that if i wan to repair, i need to place the car for a mth due to time needed to disassembly the parts. I was like fxxking shock bcz this is a new car!!! The prblm already there after a week of driving! I can accept any minor issues but totally not for this case cz the engine need to be disassembly like breaking my car virgin.

I already voiced out my concern to HM but they said i still need to send in to SC to identify the issue in details. After a few yrs of hardworking to enable myself to buy my dream car but end up it's bcome a nightmare. I believe this is an isolated case and i pitty myself to be the unlucky one sad.gif I am sad since that day till now cz this is a new car and all my plan gone. I plan to install bodykit after the service and happy happy celebrate the CNY but...

Below are the my main concerns:
-Will engine still perform like new after repairing?
-Will the method of repairing shorten the useful life of the car engine?
-Will recon/used parts to replace the original faulty parts?
-Any other solution instead of disassembly the engine? This is unacceptable for a new car.
-Do the technicians in the service center possess the ability to repair the faulty part since the engine part is not the usual/routine issue they faced?
-Without a car for month is a disaster for me and yet I still need to pay for my car installment.

Appreciate all of the bro & sis can advice me on my concerns stated and what should i do now? Thanks in advance

It's best you let them repair the engine. Although problem is small, it could get worse over time. Btw, they don't actually need a month to do so. Most to most, 2 weeks can get the job done.

yeah i agree too ... stil must fix and what are u expecting them to do? give you a new car? not possible ...

let them fix it, talk with them, say the car is crucial ... see if they compensate you monetary wise or provide you with a spare car to use while they are fixing, i know the chance are not much but try la ... no harm

Thanks for the advice, bros. Will send to SC to identify the issues more detail... Compensation is not an issue, my major concerns are whether the car performance will same as new without shortening the life cycle after repairing and a mth of repairing really lengthy

Thx for the info smile.gif SC confirmed is the bearing issue (not the wheel bearing)... I think the only solution is arrange an appointment for repairing (anyway the SC that i visited is quite helpful).
Disregard whether SC provide me a temporary car to use or not, can i claim anything from Honda Malaysia if my car needs to place there for few weeks to month? A compensation for inconveniece due to loss of car use or some subsidy to my car installment since i still need to pay the bank even the car is under repaired and the fault is belongs to the manufacturer? Any experience from u guys?
