Today my door visor driver side fly off just like that after 3 month use. Its happen when i drive around 110km/h at highway....damn!

Its seem the seller use cheap kind of double tape...feel soo rugi since only one part of the visor went missing.

Need to see back the seller ... (most of u guys know him.. quite famous in this forum).

third party installed at outside? they just use the tape to stick it i believed.

last time on my NHC i installed the visor at honda sc, they use screw type which is 100% secured.

Air filter 110 x 3 times can buy an almost lifetime warranty K&N filter tongue.gif
gear oil i think better let the SC do in case anything wrong happen to the gearbox they have no reason to blame us.

Not an issue, as long as you get the right oil.

QUOTE(Kensim00 @ Oct 14 2011, 02:26 PM)
Does this affect the warranty coverage under maintenance? Since it's not changed by them.. Or I guess it depends on different sc's 'policies'
*
Yes, me here I have no problem with them... Only engine oil and oil filter I let them change, until warranty over.

You can't go beyond 180km/h because the engine will cut off. But bravo bro, you just busted the myth Hybrid got no power. The FC also not sooooo bad. Read somewhere the acond takes off 4 percent of the engine power.

that's why you need to cover the windows to avoid losing your NCD or your money in pocket.

When you reach 180km/h. The engine cuts in and out due to the Limiter set by the car computer. See page 332 of the manual.


Ok, important information to all about WARRANTY.

At page 360 of the manual "HOWEVER, SERVICE AT A DEALER IS NOT MANDATORY TO KEEP YOUR WARRANTIES IN EFFECT"

At page 363, service under severe condition is for every 5000KM or 6 MONTHS.

HM must be hating me.

It was the local workshops tricks to sell fully synthetic oil. Fully synthetic oil not necessarily would last longer. It is simply means the viscosity is more consistent under extreme conditions. It is always better to change oil more frequently than using synthetic.

I have monitorEd my driving condition and the temperature and our cars generally fall under extreme condition. So no matter what we need to change oil every 5000km. Castrol website is a good place to pick few pointers on engine oil.

And don't show the warranty part to the SC, otherwise they may sabo your car. Just maintain the service at 5000km or 6 months. If you service outside keep a full record and follow as stated in the manual. Make sure the workshop is a member of local motor association or an insurance company. In that case Honda cannot claim incompetent service by outsider. In case of warranty dispute, HM cannot claim warranty void.
