Nope.

1st time they claim 2 pieces for me.

Normally when we change is all change pair.

It is extremely weird to just change 1 piece.

Like changing shoes, it will be extremely weird if i told sale person I want to change 1 piece shoe, rather than 1 pair shoes.

I wonder why HONDA have such weird policy?

My Toyota Vios absorbers also claim in pair in Toyota Service centre. They were noticed, informed and claimed automatically on the same day by the Toyota SA at Subang, without any problem etc. thumbup.gif

Unlike HM, need to notice and inform by Owner then only take action, and need to wait, complain to HM, waiting for feedback, get headache etc. vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

wa... looks like rear absorber issue is a common problem for our insight...

yes..i also think so..
my one both spoiled around 30k km

and everytime go back sc do service (every 5k or 3 months), they say they do so many inspection but no one find out the absorber already leaking...
it was spot when i do tyre rotation outside from SC. the tyre shop ppl told me then only know this problem.
worst case is went back SC, they give 100 reasons that is normal and that is anti rust oil.

at the end i go other SC at muar instead of melaka one, they straight help me claim both of it (my case was both also leak at the same time)

same to my cobra alarm system, until now it unsolved. Muar SC at least got help me debug and send the whole unit back to cobra but it was show ok at there but somehow not working in my car. at the end, i disconnect the alarm module.

Thanks. I will complain about my shock absorber just to make sure they check them. When you have serious issues always write officailly to your service center and Honda about the complains. Usually, you wont have any problem. Don't worry so much about the 5K warranty. It is contrary to the manufacturers requirement and can be disputed.

You can claim insurance but lose your NCB. Calculate and see whether worth it. BTW, 40kM service over RM1000?????? Why??? I just saw it on the website.

Fuel restrainer??? Cant even find that in the Honda Japan manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule. Time to get some info from insightcentral.

Compared with Singapore recommended schedule which is every 10K. Here we all kena potong.

My Webpage


Compared here with Msia.

My Webpage click the spreadsheet for more detail.

And Shell recommended oil change.

My Webpage

All over the world the recommended oil change is 12KM or 1 year but in Malaysia 5K or 3 months.

Shell oil looks better than Honda oil. Morever, other countried got the option to demand the type of oil used and many choose Mobile. That's the problem with regulatory bodies with Kangkung mentality.

I use only about 1K one month. More like 800KM. so can wait for 10 years. Also check about the rear suspension and my trusted mechanic told me the similar type can be bought from outside for less than RM200. The only problem is that the Insight body is aluminum and therefor the suspension steel joint can corrode the joint. The recommendation is to use a plastic dielectric to prevent contact.

Maybe Insight is going to be CKD. Which forum are you referring to?
