is there a quick fix to this? not really critical but it's something

Need to replace the entire stick assembly... Hingan do sell..

cool. thanks.
at this moment, i can live with it, until there come a time maybe my wife need to start driving it

Hi guys, I recently replaced Akebono pads for my front brakes. Did bleeding/ flushing as well and replaced with DOT 4 fluids. But the brakes don't seem to bite very well. Need hard pedal action for it to bite

Before this was using Brembo, good bite but tons of dust.

Any idea why these Akebonos seems to be poorly performing?

I am using Akebono too. I prefer Akebono as compared to Brembo.

Reason being, Brembo braking is noisy. It will emanate a sound like rubber rubbing the disc when the car is coming to a stop. I cannot stand this noise especially during traffic jam.

Akebono performance is quite similar to the original Honda brake pads or Nissin.. SMooth, quiet and low dust.

When it comes to brake pads, you cannot have best of both world. It is either noisy, dusty for better braking performance.. and the opposite.

coming to close to 10years of owning this car, (Aug 2013).
so far:

- mileage about 158k. daily driver and family car for trips
- no major issues, mainly wear and tear parts as expected (absorbers, mounting , bush)
- a/c no issues except re gas one time, strangely after that didn't had any issues
- had rear ended accident a few years ago, had after bout 1 year realized spare tyre area had water seepage
determined that it was caused either by wear & tear of boot rubber, or the repair job reused it and sealing wasn't good anymore
(seems to be a common problem for TMO/GM2, so have your boot rubber inspected and change when necessary
- my driver side lock actuator was jammed, changed it half cut for rm150 part only
- as always, there are still sounds (kruuikkk, nyett nyett). i have not totally done a total change or inspection on absorber links; lower arm etc
- no leakage on any gasket area on engine yet..
- i have been faithfully using morrison EO for couple of years , at least 5years..didnt had any problemo
- engine still relative silent. at times i'm amazed what the japs had engineered

plan to use till it ages, or starts giving me major problems

10 yrs already huh...mine is same as your, aug 2013.
i think we even discuss about tinted last time when collect car oh gosh...
my car still a 10 to me, clock at 162+k milleage, no major issue, regular maintenance every half yearly.
i have the same thought to keep it using as my daily driver till it cannot be pakai anymore.

I only service my car once a year as I usually clock in less than 10k mileage annually.

i guess i will reduce to annually as well since now go to office by using MRT. previously drive 60km round trip to office daily.

same with me now lol..
but i think i will likely be 10 months, coz its either 1 year or 10k for me now, whichever come first.
i travel more now since the reopening.

When change oil annually, have to make sure you are using good quality engine oil... And fully synthetic is a must.

Mine 2013 also clock in 194K and my ncp93 2009 clock 293k ha...ha.....

Recently keep survey on china suv hybrids

I think the Vios will always be more durable compared to the City..

Mine January 2013
Mileage around 120K KM.
Also no major issue, except changed alternator during warranty period.
now do maintenance every 5-6months.
Used to service aircond every 2yrs in the past. Now only refill gas, did it few days ago.
Talked to foreman, the cost of cooling coil around 600-700, compressor near 800-1000. He owned City 5G too and he said normally cooling coil will be the problem if related to aircond of this car.

My concern now is the FC, the car only can do around 8-9km/L, is that normal? 40HW 60city with very light foot, normally im driving alone.
Service it (engine oil, oil filter) and also changed new spark plug also same.
I know it is 10yrs old car

my FC is avg 8.1 now , every 6 month service , full syn oil with occasionally using fuel treatments .

FC same with mine

Do you have any attempt to improve it?

I guess my FC is quite good, avg 11-13/L.

i dint do anything to achieve this FC though, it's been like that since beginning.

maybe try different brand of EO, throttle body cleaning , carbon cleaning , MAF sensor cleaning etc ..
