The 38b19l or 36b19l sounds like panasonic batteries. Shouldn't matter as long as u tell the seller u need ns40zl, they will know which battery to give you. Other sizes won't fit into City.

Mine also clocked in around 60k. There are still a lot of thread left.

Mind sharing with us what are the parts involved during 100k service? I think you can save at least 500 bucks if service it outside but still using original Honda parts that you can purchase from Hingan. If I am not wrong, 100k service should involve:-

iridium spark plugs (HONDA SC PRICE RM400+) (SPAREPARTS SHOP RM250)
SN 0W30 FS Honda engine oil (HONDA SC PRICE RM200+) (SPAREPARTS SHOP RM160)
engine oil filter (Both are roughly the same price at RM25 each)
engine air filter (HONDA SC PRICE RM70+) (SPAREPARTS SHOP RM50+, i manage to find cheaper at RM30+ using the Honda yellow air filter which was made in Thailand)

Labour at HONDA SC may charge you around RM150 where outside working may charge you around RM70.

Overall, by just replacing these few items but using Honda original parts, you're virtually saving roughly about RM400 already.

As for aircond, if its ain't broken, don't fix it. Save the money for aircond repair when it really breaks down.

Ya, Imagine you perform aircond service once every 2 years. Cost to do so is about RM300-400. By the 6th year, you have saved about RM1200 already. Can use the money for aircond repair later.

Add gas, add oil to compressor, clean cooling coil and maybe change a new condenser.

As far as I know, Panasonic has higher CCA compared to Yoko and Century. Not so sure about Furukawa.

Bro, actually I was comparing it with Century Marathoner. The Ultramax battery box is blue in color. That 1 very expensive. Normally retail selling it at RM300+.

PM me the address also. If so cheap I also wanna use Ultramax in the future.

Means you performed aircond service? How much they charge you for that particular service? I am going tomorrow to replace my airbag module.

Oohh.. actually that's not a compressor... It's the cooling coil. They spray the chemical to eliminate bad odors.

They will clean the cooling coil when u service ur air cond but of course without the chemical spray. I personally feel no need to spend rm128 on that spray as cleaning with water should be able to remove most of the dirt on the coil.

Today i went tenaga setia to service aircond. They said the front UR strut bar is obstructing them to perform the aircond service and wanted me to pay rm80 to uninstall and reinstall it.

Anyone here face the situation where front strut bar will obstruct mechanic to perform aircond service?

Its time to replace your shock absorbers after 7 years.

What is ur mileage btw?

Absorber usually will be replaced at 50k to 100k depending on how you punish your shocks. Suspension links don't need to be replaced unless they are cracked. You will need to get a mechanic to inspect them.

I can't really advice you as I can't see the condition of your engine and how it behaves.

If you buy from spare parts shop & fix outside, maybe around 700-800. If you do it at Honda SC, maybe around 1100..

Guys, our cars need to replace passenger side airbag too. Those that haven't got it replaced, do call Honda Malaysia to make arrangement.

That's what all SC will tell you. I was told the same thing too. However, an email to Honda Malaysia confirmed that our City requires passenger side airbag replacement too which is under the 2nd batch recall. Part shipment will start arriving in July onward.

I email to Honda Malaysia asking whether I need to replace the passenger side airbag. They later call me it is required & they will call me again when parts are available to make further appointment at SC.

RM220? Add a little more & you could have bought original Honda pads.

My advice is no need to do coating. Spending 1 or 2k on it is a waste of money. Better take the money & do yearly polish & wax.
