@babysmile,

HAHA yeahh, but the 5k interval is killing me, if your doing sales, i travel 5000km a month so every month got to go service....

yeah there is some info in the previous version of this thread.. cant seem to find it anymore... fuel consumption will increase but stability and also the noise produce while driving will reduce.

Thanks in advance.

correct me if i'm wrong but this screen show my FC for the journey from the start of the car until u turn off the engine.. so for my journey from Bangi to Cyberjaya (until I reverse park) i got around 28-29km/l.. interestingly, before i put my car in reverse to park. i got exceed 30km/l mark.. that's about 3.333333333333333l/100km..

0 - travel from Bangi to Cyberjaya
1 - travel from Balakong to Bangi
2 - travel from my house to my babysitter house (about 5km away)
3 - travel from my babysitter house to my house (the day before)

from the previous history of the FC per journey in 1-3

my FC for the tank usually ranging 18km/l and my best is 19.7km/l based on fuelly, if based on the trip meter, my best is around 20.1km/l with average 19.5l/km(this one is manually keep record one)

oh, my wife start calling me kiasu on FC liao.. rclxub.gif

Hi Insighter,

Anyone encountered this issues with their insight? I have this problem as stated below from my mail to Honda, please can anyone advise if the service center still cannot fix the issues because reason given the problem happened intermittently and not permanent.
If Honda HQ is not replying, what should I do?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

My letter to Honda Website:-
I am owner of Honda Insight 2011 with registration number XXXX would like your advise to help fix an issues which caused inconvenience and jeopardize my safety to drive. I have send this to XXXX Service Center for 3rd times to diagnosed the problem and it is still happening. My car is now in XXX SC. Full report and details can be found in XXX SC, please help to send some expert to diagnose. I can send you photos or videos if you provide me email.

Issues only occurred sometimes and not all the times. Dashboard light not working but ignition of engine is okay. When the dashboard light not turn on, following is not functioning:-
1) Air Conditioner is blowing hot air instead of cool air.
2) Gear stuck at P and unable to pull to any gear even after pressing the brake. Can only shift gear manually by inserting key into the hole near the gearbox.

After driving for somewhile, the dashboard will suddenly light up with different message appeared in the MID, "Check Emission System", "IMA System" warning message, "Check Transmission System".

After stop the engine and start back, everything will back to normal.
*
never encounter that problem... hopefully they figure out the issue. but to me it does sounds like the problem with the computer system onboard... when u restart the engine, the fault code will be reset back...

i'm not sure if our insight is OBDII compliant, so that we could buy one for own diagnostic...


for every Honda car CBU, they come complete built but when reach malaysia, HM will put in the ECU themselves. not using the same ECU used in Japan, UK, US. there's a few version out there. could be the problem with the ECU installed by HM.

Yes, they have reset it several times and problem reoccurred. The SC already engaged someone from Honda to come and diagnose, hopefully they can managed to find the root cause, problem is that it only happened sometimes.  shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

if reset does not fix.. then they just replace lorr... why the wait.. when ur car warranty expired.. better push them before the warranty expire..

Damn bad luck to have such defect, I do not make any modification and everything is original. Good is that yours still got air-cond, worst is my problem no air-cond some more nowadays hot sun and raining (condensation in windows,windscreen-have to stop the car cannot see at all), suffering even though consider new car.

BTW, do you complaint your issue to Honda Japan HQ?

Visit SC many times and also my car left there already coming 1 week and previously took another week.

which SC ur car now? I m doing service on my car at Sg long Imavest currently and saw 1 insight being inspected by a lot of crew with their laptop and all...

the reverse sensor is retrofit by Honda Malaysia and not by Honda Japan. so the sensor is somewhat very slow in response. So i suspect is because of cheapo-reverse sensor..

Who would be interested to swap ur stock 16 wheel with my 1 week old 17" ROTA wheel wrapped with 70-80% threads Yokohama A Drive R1 205/45/17

Below is the photo of my rim.


I can assure you no scratches or dents as this set of rims is new.

Reason: Changing to a bigger car, trade in with stock/this rim also same price. Why not offer to you guys smile.gif

I'm looking for RM500 top up only.

PM me if you interested. Thanks.
