Hi everyone, looking to change my tyres this weekend.

Anyone have any recommendations? Preferably quieter tyres that dont cost a bomb. Budget at rm 100 - 200 a piece.

Thank you!

If you want super quiet tyre, go for continental CC6. Its soft and quiet.

Guys, one of my headlights is now "blind" so I am thinking to get one of those white headlight bulbs. Any recommendation here? I don't need a fancy one and most importantly, safe for other drivers on the road.

I suggest to just change back to the original bulb. You will nvr know what after market bulb might do to your car's electrical system.

michelin tyres price?

Avoid Michelin for Honda City. For 185/55/16, the only available option is the XM2 which is a really old and obsolete model.

Give Continental CC6 a shot if you're looking for comfort and silent tyre.

For all rounder, I heard Goodyear Assurance Triple Max 2 is a good option.

You can refer to the owner's manual. There is 1 fuse box in the engine bay and another right under the driver side coin compartment.

Thank you. I know more or less the location near the driver side. Reaching out to it is a different story but for now i dont need it.
As for the engine bay, i couldnt find it, though i notice where is ECU now as the result of exploration  laugh.gif

as for the issue with my aircon, based on observation and finally i'm able to pop the hood when it happen this time. when it happens, the magnetic clutch is not engaged for a period of time. it happens about once a week now. and for 1 minute or so. and then its back to normal.

was thinking could be the relay, but based on symptom, it should be off all the time? could be my battery is weak.
at this moment, i'm thinking to remove the clutch and clean it.

i could have gone to an aircon shop, in fact i found one in kl that is highly recommended by someone i trust and also based on online feedback, but nowadays dunno what happens. i feel like DIY or at least explore abit myself, not just on car.

perhaps middle age is catching up with me.
*
Your case is most likely due to the clutch gonna give way soon. Time to replace the clutch.

If we use a scan tool, we should be able to know the problem. Did he show you the scan tool result? 2k for a throttle body is quite expensive.

Not sure what you mean by that but it's the magnetic plate, etc. They removed the whole compressor, including applying compressor oil,  vacuum out the gas and fill it up again.

Ohh. It's the aircond magnetic clutch.

hi fellow 5th gen Honda City owners.
Did anyone change original shock absorbers at Honda SC lately? I was quoted RM551 PER PIECE  for the front absorbers. Is this the price now?

To those who have experienced the original and non-ori, is there a significant difference in ride quality between both? Fyi, my car is only for daily city use. Tx
*
Recommend you to change at normal workshop. Get the KYB Excel G shocks. If you replace all 4 pieces, it will only cost you around RM700-800.

so i took out my MAF sensor to clean it with MAF sensor cleaner. looks clean to me beforehand but since i have removed it, might as well clean it.

however, i saw reddish/pink oil on the outer plate of the MAF sensor. i suspect is the K&N air filter cleaning kit's oil. not sure if there is any impact but i have been using washable air filter for years.
*
I was using K&N previously but swapped back to paper filter knowing the oil will stain the MAF and throttle body.

Showa will restore your original Honda City ride and feel.

KYB will give you a firmer and bumpier ride. Should be better for cornering but not so comfortable.

I don't think it is that expensive for the original Honda Showa absorber.

Last time I bought the 2 rear pieces from Hingan, it only cost RM110 a piece. The front will be slightly more expensive probably RM200 - RM220 a piece.
