QUOTE(Solo7851 @ Apr 21 2014, 01:30 PM) Really, but I am afraid to try that as I might screw up the system? Did you really try that on your car? How long did it take the problem to come back after resetting? yups..i try it and it work well but after doing that and using econ mode on, around 3-4 weeks it back to same problem again. so now most of the time i drive with econ mode turn off now...next week will go service and ask them to check this. will update here if got solution

QUOTE(kerelbort @ Apr 21 2014, 03:47 PM) got the same issue but i think because we push the battery to flat.. so when reach the top the battery sure on empty so the engine will rev about 1.2k rpm.. after the battery got to 1 level. the engine goes back to normal.. complaint about it several time. but they only reset it or something and that does not help... what i do.. if the hill is quite a distance.. i just step on the accelerator above 2k rpm so that the battery will also assist/charge intermittently. sometime i just don't bother and keep on maintaining eco drive..  but for mine i think very bad...the battery can go flat in a very short distance drive and after that it will get full charge again. so sometime when come out from junction only notice the battery is flat and in charging...in econ mode the car already no power, then need to charge the battery somemore...that y i turn off the econ mode. only after reset the car then it will be normal back for a while...

QUOTE(lunchtime @ Jun 27 2014, 10:14 AM) On warranty claims, as I know, the issue isn't with Honda Malaysia. The fault lies with the SC. If you go around the SCs, you will notice some SC are more than willing to make the claim whereas others are reluctant. It seems that SCs don't have a standard operating procedure when dealing with warranty claims and with HM. Agreed on this.. i have hard time talking to Melaka SC to change my both leaking rear absorber but at Muar SC they just inspect and tell me that it can be claim and help me solve the problem.

QUOTE(iphone @ Jul 25 2014, 12:17 PM) Yup same here. During idle the RPM seems fluctuating. Also shifting from P or N to D, the RPM will shoot up momentarily. Gonna complain next service. Previously complain before but SC say is normal.  ask before at SC, they say is the throttle body and ask me pay to clean it. so i just ignore it...

QUOTE(lunchtime @ Jul 25 2014, 02:54 PM) Iphone, beginner123, ongdennis, What is your mileage? Mine started at 40000km, RPM will dip when idle, sometimes RPM will jump to 5000 rpm when about to stop. Till now SC cannot help. mine coming to 60k soon. i think mine also start around 40k or lesser. but at first it wont be so obvious and only later it become obvious. then also has the rpm bounce up and down when change gear from R to N to D. also if when change gear from N to D, cant press the accelerator too fast, else the rpm will go up but car wont moving de. it like there is waiting time for the gear to engage then only it will response to the accelerator.

QUOTE(iphone @ Aug 10 2014, 10:39 AM) My next service for 80K coming soon but the cost is scary, saw the estimated total RM1k+ 2 parts very costly, fuel strainer RM360 and dust pollen filter RM191. Did you guys done this service? Those parts compulsory? dust pollen filter RM191 i think refer to in cabin filter rite? if yes normally i skip it and buy outside to change it myself. as for the fuel strainer i think u can delay it a bit... it almost like 40k service rite for the cost.

QUOTE(dc_hunter @ Oct 15 2015, 08:41 AM) Your steering wheel will vibrate especially when you reverse your car. Also when your Gear is on "N". Now the next thing i wanna do is to sent my car to Honda to adjust some settings, because my mechanic says my throttle body timing is getting low... mine RPM also very low and cause vibrate when the air con kick in. last time complain this to SC n ask them it is possible to raise higher the idle speed n they tell me cant. they only can clean the TB and reset the settle n let the ECU adjust itself. not sure how true it is.... for the AIRBAG, i did ask before for my 2011 insight. they told me no stock and only will call if got stock. and only passenger side affected woo. It is true?

QUOTE(halcyon27 @ Nov 23 2015, 07:17 PM) What's the tyres you're using before that? How about mileage/fuel economy vs previous tyres? previous was the stock bridgestone tyre lo.. for the xm2, i actually downsize it to 15" now the car already ~85k km, and the FC still remain the same around 450-500km per tank (melaka city driving). so far so good and quite happy on it.

QUOTE(halcyon27 @ Nov 24 2015, 12:16 PM) Wow bro salute! What's the rim model & specs: width, offset and PCD? You can try the other tyres even that Kumho Kinergy or Hankook Ecowing if they have your size. The tyres are 185/60R15? Viking from Continental should be available for your size. Go for Ecopia EP150/200. They are quite good. i using the storm series from advanti racing tyre is xm2 185/60 R15

QUOTE(STC @ Dec 21 2015, 05:24 PM) 12... I am confident. So far with just over 90km, the display is showing 9.1km/l. That's with many short stops and below 60 to 70. I am light footed. let me cross the first 1000km first. recently i get a used altis with dvvti and 7 speed. the best i can get is around 10km+ per liter with the same route, the insight can give me around 15km/l but of cos this is trade off for the bigger size and power.
