QUOTE(inkyoctopuss @ Nov 1 2017, 01:50 PM) Hi guys, need u all opinion. Thinking buying honda city. Which spec u guys recommend between V Spec and E Spec because price almost different 7K. And compare with vios and city, which is more saving fuel? Thanks for the suggestion guys V Spec is more fuel saving as it comes with 15" alloy wheel instead of the 16".

QUOTE(Bold III @ Oct 24 2017, 09:49 AM) Today my LED or head unit malfunction, just blank and after i restart engine, it display a nonsense letter.. Any advice what should do? I encountered it a few times before. What I did was just knock the head unit hard with my hand and it went back to normal. It rarely happens and knocking it once a while helps solve the problem.

QUOTE(Fukuyama007 @ Nov 7 2017, 08:30 PM) To all Honda City sifu, mine 2013 city clocked 48k found recently lack of power went up hill and when accelerate to around 60 to 80kmph. I have done maintenance accordingly, at 40k I have change the fuel filter and clean fuel injector , change gear oil engine oil, under sc advice, initially feel better but still , the lack of power feeling come back after some time.Anyone has any idea what happen to my car? Nothing wrong with your car. It's just that the 1.5 liter engine is running out of breath during hill climb. Perfectly normal.

QUOTE(Fukuyama007 @ Nov 9 2017, 07:58 PM) Thanks Thrust. I thought got something wrong with my car...Lol. I want to ask another stupid question, anyone know how to turn on the gear indicator, want to see which gear it switch to as I drive.... You can only turn it on when you're in S mode. If it's in D mode, the gear indicator will not display on the meter panel.

QUOTE(Bold III @ Nov 10 2017, 07:28 AM) does anybody here ever reset the engine board or ECU or what ever they called it? Reset ECU? Normally it can be done by just removing your battery terminal and wait for 10-15 minutes. This will bring the ECU parameter back to default settings.

QUOTE(Milo_O @ Nov 10 2017, 05:20 PM) Today my dahsboard engine icon light warning lighted up. Dropped my car at Tanjung Balai Balakong Service Center for diagnosis. After half day, they diagnose "gear box problem" which they did not manage to look further due to the reasons of "small workshop" The SA advised me to send to a more established service center. I asked him any recommendation, he mentioned Sg Long or Bangi. To all the brothers here, any idea where can i find a more established service center ? I am based in south Cheras. I don't think it is a gearbox issue. If it is, for sure you'll know while driving. Should use a scan tool to identify the error code. Did they perform this procedure?

QUOTE(klchoy @ Nov 10 2017, 09:51 PM) Can i know which workshop u went to? Honda SC charges 4k+. Autosaver workshop quoted me 2k+, half of Honda SC. Anyone has better option? Buy the parts from authorized Honda stockist (Hingan), both front pair may cost only about RM400.. rear about RM260. Labour charges from workshop maybe around RM100 only.

QUOTE(Bold III @ Nov 12 2017, 07:26 AM) I also previously ask hingan, but his stock unavailable that time and his part is honda malaysia.. the factory stock came with our car is original honda thailand.. As long as it's from Honda no matter Malaysia or Thailand should be fine as they have Honda QC. You can visit another Honda Parts dealer at seapark also. I would rather buy from them rather than paying RM2k at SC. Easily can save RM1k+.

QUOTE(Milo_O @ Nov 13 2017, 09:20 AM) It is a gearbox issue. When i almost reach the Tanjung Balai service center, the gear wont change and remain at 1st gear. Even the steering wheel got "harden" and the steering wheel icon light was blinking. Now just wondering shud i tow the car to another Honda service center or tow it to a reliable workshop. Strange. Honda City 5 speeder gearbox was built like a tank. There are owners who ran this car above 200k km already and no issues encountered. How often do you replace the transmission fluid?

QUOTE(Milo_O @ Nov 20 2017, 08:59 AM) Fixed my car. Two of the speed sensors got faulty and causing the gearbox unable to read the speed and unable to change gear accordingly. Cost me ~ RM600 for these two sensors  Seems like AR MAN Auto are really good at fixing Honda.

QUOTE(Milo_O @ Nov 20 2017, 03:06 PM) So far, only one case. Hopefully no more case/issue. Different ppl have different experience.  Actually your City is the one with 7 speed virtual speed (CVT gearbox) and not the 5 speeder (normal automatic transmission)?

QUOTE(CP88 @ Dec 16 2017, 01:56 PM) How much is your damage for the cooling coil? Local or import? Thanks/. Replaced the cooling coil with a local part (APM brand) which cost about RM500+. If it's Honda original, the aircond shop quoted me RM800+. Together with expansion valve, gas refill and workmanship, it all came to about RM800. Don't know whether I got slaughtered or not.

QUOTE(Chongwxi @ Jan 4 2018, 12:42 AM) Anyone here has S spec with the 15 inches rims using 195/55R15 tyre? When going over bumps almost always hitting the bottom. Absorbers have been changed 2 years ago. Any solutions? You drove through the bump without slowing down? If yes then it is normal because Honda City suspension is quite soft. Next time try to slow down to 5 or 10kmh when going over bump.

QUOTE(Chongwxi @ Jan 4 2018, 03:21 PM) It would not hit the bottom only if I go really really slow like controlling the speed with brake when it’s rolling down the bump. It feels like absorber has no power, but I could be wrong. Just wanna see if anyone here have this problem. Possibly your absorbers are gone. Although you replaced by 2 years ago, how far have these shocks absorbers accumulated mileage?

QUOTE(Johannas @ Jan 15 2018, 08:53 PM) Any idea regarding Amaron battery? Tried looking for century ultramax around Ampang earlier today, but most only had century marathoner. Some only had Amaron which they said is also good. I suggest you try to visit www.bigbattery.my. They carry Century Ultramax and also Amaron. Amaron battery are good based on reviews but I think they are also more expensive. Get the one that suits your budget. For your info, Century Marathoner performs weaker than Century Ultramax.
