yup

some retrofit I asked, got price ranging from 1k+ to 3k+
but, the retrofit are bi-xenon, meaning I'll end up with 2 high beams, including one with stock

Day 3
I tow the car to Tee & Tee Auto after doing some research.
When I get to the shop, Tee and Tee opened up the diagnostic tools and with a nice "Ipad"like screen to show me the details
He told me the FAN BLOWER & INVERTER are both dead.

The Fan blower might be the cause of the Inverter dying, and he said these are the 2 common problems of a Hybrid Insight (our model here).
Whats worse is other HYBRID models have these 2 issues, and more other issues than Insight.

commonly happens 6-10 years into the cars lifespan.

For the warranty, after he fixed he provided 1 year
Honda usually provide less than 1 year, he said.
Recon unit

For the IMA battery, his diagnostic tools he showed me mine left 75% after 108k km. He said less than 3k he can replace for me a recon one, which will last many years again so dont have 2 worry.
yes Honda charges are absurd, so be careful with high ticket items also. Unless u can really pay the high price, can try Tee & Tee Auto

Hi Jcsy, sorry for tagging you for past 1 year post. The Tee & Tee Auto is that the 1 in Klang? Iwanna get my IMA fan check and service as this is my car tenth anniversary. Thanks.

How much are you expecting?

Depends your area, some shops don't accept trade in for this car.
If direct buyer, you can survey mudah now between 16~33k.

Get yours evaluated by carsome or something and decide.

Anyone knows the current price for hybrid battery replacement? I'm driving a 2011 model. I should be around 109km. Wondering if I should start worrying about the hybrid battery.

Why worry about it? I am still driving my 2011 insight. The hybrid battery is perfectly fine still.

Paranoid since already more than a decade haha, but relieved to know your battery still running fine. Was worried I had to either pay a huge amount or find a new car. But I think my aircon has the magnetic clutch issue someone mentioned. Aircon will just start blowing hot air and smell weird and stuffy, even outside colder. Sent to a mechanic said AC unit compressor and all that was fine.

Mine is 217608km as of now.

Yes magnetic clutch is a common issue. I fixed it for rm350 or at least rm300++ previously in KL. After less than 2 years same prob again.

Did u send ur car to fix the magnetic clutch also? How much u paid? And how many times u fixed already?

Thanks for sharing! I haven't sent to repair the magnetic clutch, I'm still doing research on where to get it done, no luck so far. Might have to go to Honda.

I ended up replacing the entire compressor (RM900). It's working properly so far, but I don't drive much these days.

I think about 3k.
Worry about the IMA module better, there's a cooling fan that gets dusty.
