QUOTE(gadgets2us @ Jun 10 2012, 11:50 PM) Looks like I'm gonna get a new IMA battery soon, just after 13K mileage (13 month car). sorry to hear that about ur carProblem came back even after the software update I posted earlier. Went back to SC and they recorded data from my ride, but was told they can't replace the battery without a IMA warning code on screen. So what they did, is software updated again, and told me to inform them next time it happens and they'll get Honda Malaysia technician to see it for themselves, then only they can change the IMA battery without the warning sign. Just 2 days after the update, the problem came back. So gonna make appointment with them again and hope they'll replace it. As mileage sux for me now, @ 12-13km/l average. Keep using petrol to charge the damn battery. Did some googling, and saw lots of similar cases on the civic hybrid. Most of them solved it with it being replaced, others solved with 12v batt being replaced. Some of the videos I saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkKCKwITlIo&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BVmb_Ib53Q Will update later on this matter. could u take a video and post it, so that we can have a clear picture what actually is going on.... |

QUOTE(kets @ Jun 12 2012, 09:33 AM) yup, mine has the same exact sound.Some managed to get rid by adding more foam under the bonnet while some went to re-seal the windscreen. In what speed were u driving when the sound appear? Yesterday night I was traveling 110 and that stupid sound appeared. But it only lasted about few seconds during bouncy road. Yours is 2011 or 2012 model? |

QUOTE(kets @ Jun 12 2012, 10:22 AM) Mine is 2012 FL.The sound usually came at 130km/h. Ok thanks. I read from insight central. ThisA day after re-sealing i drove up to 160km/h on East Coast highway, no more sound. Problem accur is more on the 2012 FL model. So far 2011 have small whistle sound like mine, but yesterday night the sound gets louder like in the video but not constantly. Sigh..... Hope the sound won't come back.

QUOTE(joshuawong @ Jun 13 2012, 10:35 AM) I've my car insured at RM85k with MSIG. You can talk to them to request for minimum insurance coverage. was thinking to insure 85k too include 5k window and natural disaster how much in total u pay? QUOTE(joshuawong @ Jun 13 2012, 10:37 AM) Hey guys! What do you think to spraying our stock rim to matte black/glossy black/metal gun colour since our warranty would void if we change to others rim. my opinion on 16" rim with black color and not lower, dun really look good[attachmentid=2890821] Photoshopped to matter. I realised our stock rim got a little be similar to Civic Type R white rim tho.

QUOTE(shoduken @ Jun 14 2012, 04:41 PM) Hi ^^ I dun think myvi is fuel saver. I dunno maybe I'm wrong. Average insight u can get 16 to 17km/liter. This is for normal driving like how drive with a non hybrid car. Some member manage to get 20 to 23km/ liter. Meaning a full tank can go 550 to 6++ km with decent driving.Want to ask something about this car. Compare to Myvi and this car, fuel saving which one will be the best? Since this is a hybrid and myvi are really a fuel efficient car. |

QUOTE(hairu1 @ Jun 15 2012, 12:51 PM) Very subjective. Some dealer say ok some dealer say not ok. It's all depends how are you going to talk to them. If u manage to argue with them with facts or what so ever till they give up and will let u claim warranty if in case If there is anything happen after you mod it. My advice. Just let it be. Press the button only. |

QUOTE(teal @ Jun 17 2012, 10:34 AM) Hi alxdc, Yup. U should pass this message to hairu1the jerking is noticeable only at low speeds. At speeds > 50kmh when the car is running purely on the IMA pressing the accelerator for the petrol engine to kick in would not produce this hard jerk. It's only when running at speeds < 50kmh that this problem comes up.or when the rpm is rightfully between 1K-1.5K. Wondering if it'sa software glitch on when the petrol engine kicks in, i.e. out of sync which produces the jerk at low speeds Added on June 17, 2012, 2:53 pm QUOTE(jameskon @ Jun 17 2012, 10:14 AM) Seems Like 2012 fl model has many problem and defects.This post has been edited by alxdc: Jun 17 2012, 02:53 PM |

QUOTE(dc_hunter @ Jun 18 2012, 04:20 PM) the reason to flush out is to flush whatever left over small pieces or dirt or metal in the CVT gear box that generates over the years of usage. but usually u dun have to do it unless the car was caught in the flood or heavy usage. and it is advice to change cvtf every 20k This post has been edited by alxdc: Jun 18 2012, 04:40 PM |
