Anyone have reliable mechanic to change absorbers and springs? Plan to get it from Hingan and then bring it to a workshop to change. Thanks.

Any workshops will have the skill to change absorbers. No need high level of skill to do it.

Hi guys, just wondering will the car be too low after installing the modulo bodykit? Is there any problem going up and down between different floors in the parking complex?
*
Installing modulo kit will not lower your car. It is just skirting add-onto the existing bumper.

if front use IMP and back stock will that be ok? where you get your IMP from?

Ok because I am doing that setup too. I got it from a shop I don't recommend. Bad service. Try asking around as There should be places selling them.

To be honest, the original honda shocks are ok also. Cheap and reliable.

hi guys,

just to share some of my on-going experience with my wife's City E since we have swapped rides. It has always been serviced at SC according to schedule (every 3 months since mileage is low), but when I started to drive it regularly, I noticed some strange things about it:

1. Fuel consumption is slightly high. My wife complained not able to do 300km on a full tank. At first I attributed to her route, traffic and driving style (short distance, jam, etc). Things improved once I drove as I do more long distance.
2. Shift shock is apparent, and some momentary power loss during gear changes.
3. Sluggish performance
4. Some weird sounds from engine bay sometimes.

the car has only done 38k for a 3 year old car, with the next service due to be the 55k service (just an oil change), so I took the advice of a friend and visited a Honda specialist workshop in PJ (JS Tyre Auto Service https://www.carama.com/car-workshops/js-tyre-auto-service) to have a look.

The diagnosis was shocking! Although there is no 100% certainty/proof, but it seems that:

1. Air filter was clogged up and never checked and cleaned with compressed air blower
2. ATF was deteriorated and had a "burnt" smell. Since the ATF change is due only at 60k service, it meant I had another 10k to go.
3. Aircond cabin filter was suspected to have never been changed, and still on the original one from factory. I was shown a new Honda original aircond cabin filter to see why he thinks it was never changed even though we have paid during our service.

In short, as we do not really get to see what happens at the SC, you rely on trust that the SC guys do a proper job, but if someone is not really honest, then there is no way for you to know unless you check it yourself. I'm not gonna name the SC as I can't really prove it but it's one of the bigger ones in PJ.

Anyway, I did the following:
1. Flush the old ATF with Honda DW1 ATF, and replaced with Castrol Transmax ATF.
2. Changed ATF filter
3. Changed air filter
4. Cleaned throttle body
5. Did a idle learning procedure to reset the engine sensors

Now the car drives beautifully and smooth! This workshop is highly recommended for any Honda car!
*
You should use only Honda ATF DW1. Honda gearbox is very finnicky on the ATF fluid and honda mechanics will usually stick to DW1. I practise changing ATF fluid every 20,000 km.

I wouldn't recommend anyone to decat their honda city as power gain won't be much & it harms the environment & health of people breathing the exhaust fume.

what are the different between 5G and 6G, that make 6G can last 10k ?
*
Actually both 5G and 6G are based on the L15 engine. Basically they are the same. Officially, Honda stated that 5G needs to service at 5k interval.

To me, as long as you're using a good quality oil, 10k service internal is not a problem for 5G.

My City 2010 has the same problem too and its getting annoying. Any fix for this? I already tried changing ATF oil but the problem is still there. Need to change the whole torque conveter?😰. And also anyone's City has idling problem when the cooling fans turn on? My city rpm drops until quite low and causes my car to vibrate when the cooling fans turn on. Can I know what is the normal idle rpm range for the City 5g? 😬

Tek Ming tyres at Sunway. Good thing about this shop is they can offer instant rim repair if they are dented unlike other shops which do not have the equipment to do so. Price is also reasonable.

Replacing ATF can help?

Not sure. From the sound of it, there might be a failure in the torque converter which may need replacement.

Of course, before doing so, one should try the cheapest method to see whether it can solve the issue (which is to replace the ATF fluid).

Anyone of you encountered 'kluk kluk' sound on your City's rear suspension? I replaced my shocks & the sound is still there.

Wanted to know if you guys replace the axle beam bushing? I heard its quite common on other Honda models (HRV & CRZ) that this bushing fails. Honda don't sell the bushing alone but the entire axle beam which cost RM1k+ though OE parts are available just for the bush.

Honda uses an external ATF filter. Quite easy to replace them. I replaced mine at 60,000 KM.

never saw atf filter change in honda maintenance sheet.. how much eh?

Honda SC may not have the part available as it was not listed as a maintenance item to begin with. I bought the filter myself at Hingan.

The filter is located underneath the airfilter box. Replacing it via DIY is quite easy as the filter only cost about rm60.

It look like this:-
