I think insight 40k service cost so much is because of the parts like fuel filter (petrol filter) cost around RM 200 and air con service around RM 200 and jazz hybrid and CRZ 40k service is not included?

Anyway Honda advise to service AirCon every 20k. Do not listen to them. This is bull. U can plan your self which parts to replace earlier or later to cut down on the cost of services. For example, change air filter at 30k, change CVTF at 35k, perform AirCon service at 45k, so during your 40k service it won't cost so much. Just plan and see which is it best solution. Don't follow everything Honda said.

Yeah contacted few shops, the Mugen & Modulo doesnt fit the 2012 FL insight.

Yes, Finally done. The hole is close. Attach is the photo. rclxms.gif As you can see I have collected the 20 sen plastic cap and forgotten the picture. I have to put back and take again. biggrin.gif A close up photo for the 20 sen plastic cap. smile.gif
No need to go SC. rclxms.gif

Next is the location for the 20 sen plastic cap should be. As you can see the water must be coming from the bonnet flowing down. Some how if the cap is not on, the water will drip in slowly. I will glue it with rubber glue tomorrow while waiting for the carpet to dry... tongue.gif

rclxub.gif Not again....SC suspect the same location causing leak. They say too many wire going thru the rubber hole causing the leak. What an explanation. They will silicon it for me free and see how. Need to be white mice again for them to see if it leak or not... cry.gif

Please check various insight owner pictures from this ebay link.

Ebay usa.auto-style

@jtlim98

Thank you so much for getting this 20 cent plastic cap picture. I am not sure is it they cover the plastic cap on that corner. It should be more inside one but I try to check from my place as well. You are indeed another DIY king rather as the Service Center technician to check this.

@alxdc

Thank for the links. I have update to first page section post 3 - Useful Links for Honda Insight.

@All owner of insight

Please try to check Favourite post from LYN INSIGHT member on first page where I have compile most owners have given very informative comments towards this Insight forum. Without you all, we doesn't have so much information on how to fully utilise this lovely Insight. Keep up the great work. If you have any ideas and suggestions are welcome to share it out.

By the mean time to share it, you can be the first one to show off as well. Some have show the accessories done on their Insight, so anyone also can share as well. I try to compile these on the first page so anyone also can find it easily. The most important is How much, Where to get it and How to do it.

Your are right. hmm.gif Check again and found that the hole have foam inside and is dry. ohmy.gif Recheck the wet carpet and found no solution where it is. Even check the top part. Finally when to SC just in case icon_question.gif , luckily my SA is around and not much car servicing. A foreman was there to check the fault and he found it. He show me that the rubber came off or didn't put correctly. He say is very common due to careless of other foreman outside SC. They even use the car wash spray to spray on the bonnet to see whether it will leak or not. After that my SA ....blah blah blah rclxub.gif a lot about doing mod outside will cost this. He even told me that the reverse camera that others do and not properly seal the rubber causing water leak inside the trunk. So insider's be careful rclxms.gif
So my advice to all insight who mod LED or other wiring, please check that the rubber seal that other foreman do does not do the same mistake. biggrin.gif

Attach is the photo thumbup.gif

Water leak again today(28/04/2012). When to SC to do silicon on that hole. Hopefully works. White mice again..... tongue.gif

I don't think that is the cause insight service is high.if u compare jazz maintenance fees,it lower for every service. Can't be jazz hybrid no need change fuel filter n no need service air con at all?

I am using 205/45/16! Initially very regret of choosing the wider size because of very bad FC, shooting to > 6L/100km, but now I am Happy! Result of the bad FC is because of not enough pressure pumped. I tried pump 240(front), 230 (back) psi and now constantly getting <6L/100km for the past month.

But I think 195 50 16 will still be the better size.

u should use 205/50/16 at least, side wall thickness for 45% is too thin, too bumpy.

the tyre is too small, advice to gofor 205 low profile tyre for a better handling, somemore K&N filter might be useful for a better acceleration, i have consult Honda Technician, they said K&N filter is fine to be used.

bro are u using the k&n filter now? heard loads of good reviews on added acceleration when using it
