Just replace with normal ngk spark plug which are good for 30000 km, cant remember the cost, but less than 100 for 8.

Btw could be due to degrading plug coil, especially the 4 plug coil located behind the engine due to trapped heat. New one cost around rm280 for one plug coil, but can get halfcut around rm80.

Sold my car already.

Went to USJ SC. Say spark plug problem. I say it happen before I changed it. Then say is throttle problem.

I'd say forget it and I'll come take the car. Obviously, the SC say must charge me RM80 for labor charge, which is check only.

Went to another SC. Sumber Auto. Also dunno what happen. Went to trusted workshop. Also no solution..

Sell the car already.

Jerking should be because of CVT. Cost my family close to 6k to repair, but two years after no more jerking issues.

does this version have ATF filter behind/below the air filter box at the engine compartment?

good idea to change it. my 2011 (2009 version) city have it and i replaced it around 100k km as per recommended by one of the forummer here.

much more smoother since then.

there is actually two filter, one near engine (the circular one, is the one i changed), and the one near transmission (i think the square one) which the honda genuine stockist that i went to say people dont usually change unless they want to open up the transmission.

For those who have changed ATF, do you use Honda ATF as recommended or use other brand? Cause lots of fake Honda ATF out there. Less chances of fake if use some brand that nobody will fake.

There are even fake Coolant which is even cheaper than ATF. Read somewhere a mechanic with many years experience say he fixed a lot of cars with transmission problem due to fake ATF.

BTW, which one did you get? ATF Z1 or DW1? The recommended for City is Z1 but I read Z1 is not in production anymore and DW1 is the replacement however I still see Z1 being sold.

mine is city 2011, non cvt, so use DW1. CVT use another one i think. i think CVT is big bottle.
Exactly 3 bottle is needed. Exactly. That is what honda specialist foreman said to me.

I got once. I brought 4 bottle, the guy from neighbourhood workshop used 3 bottle and open the fourth and used sikit aje.
I end up throwing it away coz I change almost once a year. how to keep a year opened bottle laugh.gif
