No, the sound was there since day one when the car in stock condition. i do not have time to complain to them till the 10k service (anyway, i am lesser than 2 months owning this car).

kah motor puchong was nearest to me. any recommended service center near to puchong? i will try there next time. thanks very much for everyone's feedback. most of the time, i felt information in this forum is more trustful, accurate and sincere as compared to sales advisors or service engineer.

Just tot of 1 solution, IF u have the Cobra GPS system, Lock your entry Zone Definition and then wait ur to be test drive by the technician, if u no receive SMS for ur car zone exit, show to the SC and screw them!!!

My SC no problem complaint on the sound of my Insight they told me need time to diagnose the sound... so the technician sit beside me and I drive and show him the sound... he then confirm the sound... after that I make appointment drop my car there for 3 days (I was going out of Malaysia so no problem) and when I come back collect the car the sound is fixed smile.gif apparently it is not Honda fault or the car it is the HID installation done outside but they fix it also and FREE... I like me SC smile.gif

Excellent. Free wash. Not overfilling the engine oil. Balance oil automatically return to owner. Some SC need to ask for that oil if not they will keep for themselves.

Went to Kah Motor Puchong Service Center (the one near the Tesco Puchong U-Turn flyover) to do my 10k service. Mentioned to the service advisor that my car have a quite a loud and prominent whistling sound coming probably from somewhere behind the dashboard on passenger side when driving at around 100km/h. No sound before 100km/h and the sound also disappear after 110km/h. The sales advisor say will get technician to drive out and test, so service will take longer than usual (he mentioned 1 and a half hour).

Walking around, I noticed my car was actually parked in the parking lot most of the time (only went into the workshop for about 20 minutes). I waited close to 3 hours and still car not ready so I go ask whether it's ready. The service advisor told me technician did test drive but did not hear any whistling sound when driving at 100km/h so ask me to come back and check again if I still hear the sound. I was wondering how come the car could have been driven out of the service center for the test drive without me noticing it, maybe I actually overlooked.

Now come the disappointing part, when I get into my car and start the engine, I noticed the milage at the MID was exactly the same reading as when I send in the car! I was like, wow, they can bring the car to 100km/h in less than 1km mileage recorded in odometer?

I didn't know Kah Motor Puchong have a wind tunnel facility inside them to test wind noise at high speed without the need of actually driving the car into highway, or, they actually have the capability to reset my odometer back to original mileage after their test drive.

I supposed service engineers normally felt car owners are just fussy, wind noise during high speed is a normal thing and a lot of the complains are just psychological effect of the car owners always wanting their car to be in perfect condition, and since it is under warranty, car owners will complain on every small things they could find.

I was in hurry so I do not have much choice and I did not make a fuss out of it, since I had wasted 3 hours sitting down there assuming they actually took my car out for test drive.

Got the same problem from first day took the car back. Loud whistling sound at 100kmh. It came about for a while and disappeared. I thought it was cross wind or something coz it was loud (definitely not tak, tak, tak). Maybe structurallly something different due to low drag coefficient. Most of the time, the sound is not there so not sure to complain or not. Every once in a while still got.

Hey, since everybody's so freak out about the battery, i might just start a company to supply batteries to all insighters after 5year warranty is over. Probably wont make money coz the battery suppposed to last up to 15 years or more. By that time the battery will be a few hundred bucks or something like that, ha ha. All chicken about nothing.

I thought normal for insight to have whistle noise... the wind noise became worsen after I installed door visor...
or perhaps your noise is differ from mine

here is an example of noise produced by my insight
feel free to waste 3:39 minutes of your life... biggrin.gif



by the way, in that video, currently I'm using stock lamp, will the extend/length of light shoot further with HID?

Hi fellow insighters,

I'm going to Klang tommorow so might as well visit the cheap rim and tyre shops i heard of all these while but i don't know which area in Klang. If any of you don't mind would you please tell me a few who has good cheap rim? I'll find out what looks good on our insight and take some pics.

Thanks in advance..
