hi All FD1 owner, recently i jump ship from Sh*ll to C*lt*x. just "feels" that Caltex is much more smoother.... in terms of acceleration and overall i feel that the C petrol is better than Sh*ll... nt sure any user here can clarify..

so any other better brand petrol in the market to recommend?

Hi All FDer, i found out that my FD1's engine oil level reduce around 25%(1/3) from the engine oil dipstick level indicator after running 8k millage.... Currently I'm using the ENOES fully syn 5w-40. whereby this car previously used semi-syn 5w30 all the while.... my car currently clocked at 119k km.. Pls advice whether i should continue to use the fully syn oil or revert back to semi-syn.. as going to have major service for my FD1...
thanks.

FD1 with millage 120k KM required GB flushing ?? all the while the car under normal driving condition.... pls advice...

what u mean ?? I do change ATF evy 20k km interval... just that i heard FD1 GB need full flushing after certain millage? to prolong the lifespan?

roughly how much cost for the flushing ? how many liters of ATF oil required? i just bought 4l for coming major service..
now thinking whether wana flush it or not.... pls advice.

hi all, how much total liter required for normal ATF oil change for FD1?? i checked back the maintenance record, some SC pour 3 liter and some pour 4 liter.... i check manual mentioned change oil only required 3liter only.... which is the right ?

thanks for the reply
damn, last ATF changed at SC(100k km service) , they pour 4liter in... aiks... :S
for 1.8 should be only 3liter required..... damn... now change, mechanic only put 3liter, checked the dipstick, showing enough alr.. make me confuse

Hi All,

My FD1 engine mounting found out broken for the driver side which is common issue for FD1. rclxub.gif cry.gif
according to the SC/mechanic, only that side required to change and no need to change whole set.... whereby the right side's mounting alr cost RM450++...... cry.gif ...
pls advice is that ok that only change 1 side? thanks.

hi all sifu, the FD1 rear camber cannot be adjusted one right? my FD1 now suffer from tyre "eat inside" quite serious. found it after went to shop for balancing and alignment. they told me FD1 is like that one. unless change to adjustable rear arm. is that necessary? or need to rotate the tyre evy 8k km? pls advice.... :S

i think is my bad. after travel for 20k km then only go rotate the tyre. was told cannot rotate anymore(front-back). only side to side swap only coz rear one eat inside very serious...... :S sumore FD1 rear cannot adjust one the camber.
wondering that how to prevent from the tyre eat inside.. rotate tyre more frequent? pls advice.

if remain the ori arm, will happen the tyre eat inside right no matter how??? is the adjustable arm is a must for FD1 ?
i'm not so concern abt the stability. the stock setting alr good enough for me..
how come the FD1 rear camber cannot adjust one geh.. haizz... problem la...

i also not sure what might be the problem causing the tyre eat inside. or is that the common issue for all the FD1? bcoz of the wishbone suspension.??

how frequent u rotate ur tyre ? 10k k interval?

Hi All FD1 user here, my FD1(clocked 158k km) currently suffer from vibration(even rear passenger can feel it) during the moment where compressor kick in. Observed that the RPM slightly drop from 750 --> 700 during the kick in..

1.Cleaned TB at Honda SC not able to resolve the issue still. 2.Compressor was changed 3 months ago.
3.The right hydraulic engine mounting changed during ~110k km.

SC guy told me it might be due to the AF sensor malfunction causing this.
advice needed from u guys whether what could be the possibility else....
