mine around 10.5km/l in dashboard, but i have been clocking only 800km since march.

did you check some of the basic?
i had to replace my fuel cap earlier this year coz i smell petrol everytime after a drive from the refill area.

Stabilizer link for my previously. Very obvious when mechanic jack it up. Can see the bush koyak. But not sure if no jack up how. Should be easy as well. Try rotate tyre to max and see. Focus on the bush.

Ori is pretty cheap. For stabilizer link. Got separate bush as well. Need to buy separately

I asked before here in forum i think but not much feedback.

Mine does loss but at what rate i not sure as i dont measure. Every few months i check and topup my reservoir tank. No gut to unscrew radiator cap.

Whats sure is. 2nd service out from SC (3 years warranty, so around 3 and half year to 4th year), while i still exploring outside workshop, the Foreman helped to add water into coolant. A week after, after so consideration, i bring back to sc and replace all the coolant. After that, i bought a bottle of 1L coolant to topup myself. And take notice and disallow anyone to add water during maintenance.

Sept will be my full 9 years. And i have used up the 1L. Left some only i believe. So. About 5 years need to topup 1L.

I got to know it is expected to seep a bit coolant from time to time as in general, the water pump seep abit so it can lubricate the bearings.

But how much coolant lost is acceptable. Its not available anywhere.

I dunno bro. But considering outside workshop ada check and pandai pandai add, i think its normal. Lol.

By the way, that day check all my service receipts from official sc all those years ago. Maybe not useful for anyway one.

I just realize SC helped to change fuel filter towards the end of my 3 years. Probably around 50k km then. Didn't realize it and go ahead and change again when mine is around 110k km as per recommendation from here. Could have delayed it. Haha.

No harm but could have delayed abit

me..
had it even when under warranty.
sc claim its "normal"

its on and off only. seldom. but most likely to happen when rev higher.

last time after i service my aircon outside, remove all gas, add in gas, add compressor oil, seems to stop.
but now it come back again. after a year i think.

by the way. despite to infrequent noise, my aircon is still going strong (*touch wood*) except when my magnetic clutch failed, which is when i also did all the above.

long distance 14km/l seems okay.

actually driving slow also a problem punya.
its more fuel efficient to get to top gear as soon as possible and then drive it smoothly.
rather than you step little, wait a long time for it to change to the most top gear.

does it not bother you that this car does not have a engine temperature gauge?

yeah..when its new i dont bother much. now.....not so sure
i read that there blue light whenever start up and red light. red light means overheat too late dah or what?

so i did jack up my car and doesnt wobble.
though i note that doesnt wobble doesnt mean no issue as if wobble means got issue to a certain extent already.

however, good thing is recently one of the road near my area got repave and i notice the wheels are damm silent when going through it.

i guess its my tyres then
using for close to 2 years i think, michelin xm2.
the front 2 are replaced after GST back to SST, after the tax grace period.

yeah..handling is what's in my mind.
another is...i wanted to but wasnt sure how long i will be driving this car.
xm2 is pretty long lasting. dry rot and noisy liao but still ada bunga

i'm a bit worried about driving in rain for other tyres.
was thinking to give cc6 a chance but all above make me continue with xm2.

also wanted to try yokohama bluearth es but dunno where available for our size.

thanks!
but not now

Not really. I hope i can drive as well as possible. But at this stage around 9 years old now, cant really predict the future. On whether it will have more major problem or getting a "better" car. I would keep it as long as possible, whether as a second car or send back to hometown for my bro. If it have no major issue

For me as a driver and driving alone is not an issue but i think it slightly uncomfortable ride for my spouse and oldest daughter at 4. Have another daughter of less than one. All of them sit behind with 2 baby seats.

Anyone know what is this? Its right below the filter box.
The tip is like covered with oil, and its the open ended. not attached to anywhere.
Not sure if this is normal.

car no issue for a long time with it like this.


Attached thumbnail(s)

so its..normal? both open ended and oil stained?

just before mco.
and also changed the filter last year.
maybe its not "dripping" or "coming out".
just kena before during oil or filter replacement.

i not sure.

thank you bros.

cool thanks

what year? how much you get it? congrats!

also ask for your stabilizer link to be checked. i replaced it and it improve as well. especially getting lesser sway during corner. but it helps with the feel when uneven road.
but as mention by bro thrust, need to set your expectation right.

btw, make sure your tyres are pumped to recommendation. dont pump too much.

These are the price i got from honda stockist, about 2 years back. shared with a bro that pm-ed me. resharing it here.

i kept the record.
front mounting rm45 per piece x 2
absorber stopper front rm45 per piece x 2
damper rm7 per piece x 2

do note that when i change the part, the foreman was saying i was missing two of something. i'm not sure which. stopper or damper. but he said can reuse old one. so maybe when you buy the parts you can ask how many of each you need.

these are genuine honda parts. i bought this from honda genuine parts stockist. except for absorber, which i get from lazada.
as for labour, my neighbourhood workshop charged rm150 (but previous mix up he quoted rm100 coz he thought older city, end up rm150 include helping me to change and bleed the brake fluid i bought outside). while AR Man Auto in Ampang, a honda specialist charge rm250. i end up choosing my neighbourhood workshop.

i remember when i bought the parts, i was researching, it isn't too far more expensive than online 3rd party parts. so end up buying genuine since mine last at least 7 years (could still be in good condition when i replace).
