i think that what he meant...

i hate but i have to 1000% fully agreed with you about the NVH.

for 170k price tag, the NVH is really bad.

i still remembered when i first collected my car, and driving in the city, i thought i forgot to shut properly one of the window or door, because i can hear the bikers talking noises in my car, it is horribly bad the NVH.

Even my old 80k Nissan entra NVH is better than my accord, so annoying.

Despite NVH, all other areas of accord are really good.

If they improve NVH to be at pair with either Nissan or Toyota, then Accord can be near a perfect car at this price range. What a waste.

Bro, why the CVT gearbox problems? Did Honda give any explanation?

Not sure. Just saw many hrv owner group in fb had this issue with cvt and claim warranty during 4-5th year  Then most all model, city, hrv, brv, accord, civic will have fuel pumps problem when using shell 97.

Cvt priced at rm24k in sc

Any good honest workshop to recommend ?

Hi guys,

I drive a 2017 Accord 2.4 with 123K on the odo. One of the SC said I have an issue with the "Auto Tensioner" which would cost me RM1k to replace since it's not covered under warranty. The transmission gives a whining sound constantly.

I have no intention of giving SC RM1k for this.

Any good workshop to recommend if you resolved this elsewhere?

I can't tell from where the sound comes from. I asked SC to check why got whining sound. After they checked they said issue with auto tensioner.

I don't recall any belts being replaced. i only service at SC and follow the scheduled maintenance.

Thanks for the advise bro. Appreciate it.

For this issue, would it be safe to get the part looked at or replaced at a mechanic outside of SC? Do you have any recommendations? Because currently am jobless so need to save money by not forking out RM1K at SC.

Bros,
Need help. Bought my Accord VTI-L 2015 2nd hand from private buyer a year back. Car was a bit bumpy, so i went and switch tyres to Michelin PS4 for a better ride and grip. Was ok for a while, but lately i felt the car still shakes a lot when going thru uneven roads. I've brought the car to SC to check and they said no problem at all, this is the design of the car to have a stiffer suspension.

Any guidance on how to get a smoother ride? After market suspension like KYB can help, or strut bars?

the 10th generation Accord is still "too" new to be giving issues. just like the 9th generation, all is well until it passes the 5th year warranty mark and then all sorts of problems started manifesting - granted that it's only natural to replace wear and tear parts but that ABS module *pfft*.

also, there is close to none that's currently on the road so even if there are problems, i doubt it will surface but given Honda's recent track record on quality control and media reputation, i'd avoid spending above Honda City money on them and if possible, avoid them at all cost until they change their attitude.

Good bargain. What can you get at that price?
Those issues are just wear and tear.

Thanks for the info. Surprise to hear that such a premium model sucks at NVH.

Im not in the group cant see the video.
Anyway, I got it fixed already. Its the belt tensioner bearing. Cost about rm400 for ori part. Didn have the patience to wait for honda sc so i got it done outside. Honda mechanic said its a common issue for accords and nothing serious, just noise.

Guys, for those after warranty already ended and servicing outside, wat brand/type of engine oil is recommended? Suitable with honda engine one.

Sorry, i have 1 stupid question. I saw the honda 0w-20 fully synthetic oil (green sticker with golden bottle) is written ultra green with the earthdreams engine photo on it. Does this means that this oil is suitable for earthdream engines only? What about the normal 2.0 ivtec engine (non earthdream)? Can use this oil too?

Dunno why they die die want to instill sporty image in accord 10th gen. its not suitable for accord characteristics as a comfort cruiser sedan.

I too had see accord. Its more lean towards bad boy image rather than matured mens.

if i remembered correctly, the 9th generation Accord is a drive by wire chassis which means your pedals will not be getting any feedback from the mechanical parts of the car.

you sure it isn't just the undulations of the road surfaces?

Guys, did anyone of u did the engine oil treatment when send for servicing in SC? I found they are including this into my list (total is almost rm200), inclusive of engine treatment and the oil.

I told them to remove as it is not part of the routine manual. Just wondering is it really necessary and effective from those that did it before.
