Honda called it "Product update" biggrin.gif
to replace the power steering feed hose.

You can check the status of your car with Honda Malaysia. Tel. 03-7957 5885 or 1-800-88-2020
Update you mailing address with Honda Malaysia and they will send the original letter to you. Was told that the service center will need the original copy of the letter.

Thanks. One more question, I've read the maintenance price list in the official website and first service only cost less than Rm30. Is it true or there's additional charges behind it?
*
From what I know, the first service is free. Only need to pay for oil, etc. Then, if I recall correctly, Honda does not change the engine oil during the first service. Unless you insist....

Not really... sometimes it depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you get a problem free car (or nearly smile.gif )
Even the high end cars are also having some problems.

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. smile.gif
*
This is from my experience of using syn oil in my previous ride. Was using the syn oil after the 1k service. When the car was around 4 years, I noticed that there is reduction in the oil level.

Hi,

Any owner of Civic FD1 facing problem with their VSA that lights up sometimes? Replaced new battery. Been to HM SC and was told that it is due to faulty Yaw Sensor. Cost around 2k to replace.... sad.gif

Anyone who has similar problem managed to resolve this?

any recommendation to prevent duplicate keys..>??like example Pivot push start all those...coz my bro will try to duplicate my keys and drive it whenever i not using it...not really wanted him to drive

Install a car immobiliser in which the system needs to detect the access card before it can start. This also acts as a deterrent to car jacking, theft, etc.

Don't mean to throw salt to the wound. To be frank, if the potential buyer did not put down a deposit, then the seller has the right to sell to others. If the buyer has put down the deposit complete with a brief written agreement and copies of the car documents, then the seller cannot sell to others.
Anyway, there are still many around smile.gif

hi sifu here.. i recently made a booking for honda civic.. but the SA told me that i need to wait till around April and May for the car. But Honda insight is straight available for pick up if i choose to take it. Currently i am in dilemma on whether to choose between civic and insight. What do you all think? I do prefer Civic design more than honda insight.
*
IMHO, if you can wait, wait for the Civic. Personally, I prefer the Civic over the Insight tongue.gif

PJ. but hometown at JB. i ask both side dealera and they dun give a discount for car 2012  sad.gif

Besides, now my concern is that, i think civic 8th gen got almost 50% of the parts come in from thailand.. and due to the flooding issue..

is it safe to buy a civic 8th gen right now?  cry.gif 

and while the civic 9th gen available, can i still get a new civic 8th gen that time ?  rclxub.gif
*
Actually, why don't you consider getting the newer model instead?
Any particular reason of wanting the 8th gen instead of the newer 9th gen?
