@ezu_din

Can you feel the sound came from front ? left compartment ?

From many owner feedback, either is
1) the famous "20 cent plastic cap" didn't fix it properly
2) the rubber connection between outside engine to inside compartment on left passenger.
3) the bonnet "soundproof".

I am trying to find the 20 cent plastic section for more details this weekend. Saw your video and the sound is really loud indeed.

Thats real bad!
dont think its the engine though..
Need to bring ur car to other Honda SC i guess

it sound from front @ left compartment...that's for sure...i think i need to bring my car to the people experience with whose top 3 problm for diagnosis as Honda SC dunno what's wrong...

the bizarre thing is...last time when u speed up it doest make any noise...just yesterday it happened...b4 this at 130km/h also quiet with no problm at all...

Hi guys, just checking.
Does the Auto Stop function works when the car is at a complete stop or whenever car is slowing down?
Mine stops even when im slowing down on bumps or even trying to park my car
Happened in both ECON on and off.

it goes into autostop when you are not stepping the pedal and at the speed of below 10-12 km/h if i recall correctly

Exactly.
Its weird because this just happened.Yesterday when I received the car, it only stop when im in a complete stop.
As far as i can remember i dont have this issue when i was test-driving the showroom car.

my insight also have this sound... is yours the FL version? went to check with SC but then there is no sound when drive around that speed.. so cant rectify yet.. if you get it solved ... pls do let me know too.

It's normal, happens to me quite often after I let the gas goes, and cruise into my parking/red light for example. I think it's a smart feature though.... but can be annoying if you intend to step on the gas at that moment.

any Insight FL already put DRL at the btm of signal light?

Did not ever force recharge my 1 year+ Insight, and IMA battery still working like day 1

I personally don't believe in force recharge, as it waste fuel.. anyway, my IMA battery will be able to obtain full charge at least twice a month through normal driving


This post has been edited by psyeo: Apr 28 2012, 04:14 PM

today my IMA meter back to normal behavior even i try to sudden accelerate and try to maximize battery usage..waulewei,i suspect tis car know today i want do the service...

at the SC, i still make complaint..they said will check the battery
suspect that they just do load test on 12v battery and some test on IMA battery..
coz to them everthing in fine condition..them inform during ride test the battery Asst/recharge ok..
look at the report test,12v battery reading 12.something and others test(i assume IMA)86% recharge state and OK..
I do the Service at HZN and feel that their job below expectation..will go other SC if this prob. reoccur..

anyway my 20K service cost $251.(escape cabin air filter)..if not the cost will boom to $400..

If 12A battery reading 12.4, the battery is 70% charged and if it is 12.3 and below at engine not running, its a bad battery. Get it recharge or better get a new battery. New battery reading 12.6 to 12.7

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...

Added on April 28, 2012, 11:38 pmProbably voltage stabilizer would help... Mine I install Zaptor and working fine. Look at my youtube link below.... Someone ask whether voltage stabilizer help and I say not really save fuel a lot as it's already hybrid... only stabilize voltage.....12v battery only Not IMA battery... Hmmm wonder inverter help... very high voltage lol...

Ezu_din, playoff90, WT2 and anybody else here having that noise/whistling sound, I'm pretty sure u guys facing the same issue; bonnet closure emits noise at certain speed. I have analysed the issue in details and solve my problem once and for all.
Few input to consider:
1. The whistling/noise happens when the speed in the range between 80-100km/h. Some up to 110km/h.
2. I get to know most 2012 FL version got his issue. Not only in Malaysia, but everywhere else. Surf Insightcentral. Some had claim (other country) and they replace the windscreen sealant. Have to remove windscreen. They said it was due 'lack of sealant'. But i guess they didn't study the issue thoroughly. And the reason why adding more sealant address the issue was, thicker glue alter the windscreen angle/position, slightly outward (even very slightly) and alter the angle of that plastic cover and gap (the culprit).
3. From my analysis last time, the sound only happen when there's no vehicle in front (u get a direct wind).
4. When the whistle happen, if u dare (like me), try to release the bonnet. Dont worry the bonnet wont fly off. I've tested up to 105km/h no problem. If the sound disappears, u are facing the same problem.
5. I didnt have the problem the first 3-4 month using the car. One nite, i thought i heard some high pitch whistling noise (around 80km/h). Shutoff my radio and the whistle was quite faint.
6. The sound became louder few months later. Decided not to go straight to SC coz their mechanic also try n error, cant imagine they dismantle everything to find the noise. By then i already know it only happened when there's no vehicle in front. Tried to release the bonnet and its disappear, i went back home and adjust the bonnet mounting bracket or hinges (left and right). I alter the bonnet closure by adding few washer at the mounting bracket. The bonnet close slightly outward by then.
7. To my surprise, the sound went from 80+km/h to around 100km/h, lower frequency, just like the one in the video u attached https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVYM0hW7ruw...feature=mh_lolz
8. I removed the washer, and decided to seal the open gap between bonnet and that plastic cover. This is the area where the sound coming from. The original rubber seal is quite deep inside, leaving some nice gap to whistle.

9. Long story short, I've solved the problem.

10. Besides this, i've analysed and done a few try & error eg. drive with wiper up coz initially suspect the wiper, drive with side mirror fold-unfold, open-closed window (driver & passenger), observe every rubber, every seal, side mirror mounting, including that 20 cent rubber (didnt quite solve it for me), even drive with removed lower engine bay cover to investigate the problem.
11. To test whether u can solve the problem, or whether u have the same problem, simply cover the gap between bonnet & the black plastic using masking tape and drive to speed when ur noise occur. If its disappear, u can either left the masking tape there or try my solution. Read my previous post for details.

*besides this mod, i've done a few other DIY on my Insight. I pretty sure mine is one of the quietest Insight around.
