i doubt any change of fluid will help ... this was mentioned so much earlier ... the only fix is just try to step on it and get into cruising speed as soon as possible ...

Just to share with you guys, I'm driving city 09, last few days my car been broken in. They thief broke in through the bonnet key hole, seem it's pretty to break in. Now I can use any key to open my car bonnet. I know that some workshop has sell the bonnet lock to replace the original one, but i couldn't find one.

My city now don't have 3 times signal flashing when I lock the door, and single flashing when I unlock the car? Maybe alarm system kaput dy? Even after I lock the door, there should be red blinking light on the dashboard, now it's disappear..

And I need suggestion to change my car security system, anyone know any workshop that I can get reasonable price for system in PJ?

Maybe you should visit Honda SC and ask them to reset your alarm or maybe quotation on how much to repair the alarm.

if the red light on dash is not blinking means ur alarm is not armed ...

will try to visit Honda SC to check on the problem.

any method that we can re-armed back ourself? or only sc can do it?

my bonnet key hole has been damaged also sometime last year..i think someone tries to break-in.
totally unusable..can only open bonnet thru the lever beside the driver seat.

i have asked SC if they can repair, if i am not mistaken they quote me 300+ (not sure labour inclusive or not)
since it is expensive, so i just leave it. haha.

try cari at kedai honda spare part. ada forumer here sell honda spare part

I'm thinking to change all 4 types together for other brand

Would like to check with you guys, may I ask roughly how many KM need to be exchange between front and rear in order for utilities the types capacity

By the way, new car less than one year with 13km now.

If too expensive then I will just use something to seal the hole, no more using key to open the bonnet.

tyre rotation u mean?
normally recommended every 10,000 km

No, is change the tyres...

In order for me to change all 4 tyres together, I need to exchange the tyres from front to rear and the rear change to front, after 5 years (example), then I'm able to change all 4 at the same time, because I wanna try for other brand of tyres instead of using back the same tyres.

If no exchange, this is not good to be use the different tyres at the front/rear, such as
rear tyres = CPC2
Front tyres = XM2

I use different brand of tyre for the front and back. Doesn't feel much different from before :\

Oh, is it ? haha...how many KM when you change the front tyres??

By the way, what is the brand tyres you using for??

The front tyre is the 3rd set. The back tyre is my 2nd set.

I think I swap to Yokohama 15" tyre when my mileage is at 35k, then the front type worned out so I had to replace that first at 50k and since they don't carry the same Yokohama model, I had to pick a different brand.

Now running on Bridgestone Ecopia for the front, and the back tyre is Yokohama brand (forgot the model).

As I said, it feels the same to me even with 2 different brand of tyre. Haha.

haha, Alright thanks for your information ya

sounds like the alarm sensor cannot detect ur boot whether it is closed or not
the problem u mention which no flashing light and red light on meter only occur when i open the boot
and lock the door using remote,it only flash 3 times and the red led appear on the meter after i close the boot
meaning to say that ur alarm still though that u haven't close ur boot even you already closed it

maybe just the sensor on the boot kaput ady not the whole alarm system

Anyone service their car lately?
I'm going to change the dust and pollen filter this time.
In my last service I opt for semi sythentic oil, now just 3 months passed and only around 1,500 km travelled since last service.

Can I insist don't want to change engine oil and oil filter? (It's really waste and environmental not friendly)

Are they still insisting you to change engine oil every time you service or void your warranty if you don't?

If your car is still under warranty, then you will have to choice but to get it serviced at Honda SC to keep your warranty intact.

However, if your warranty is over.. then I suggest you to perform the service every 7,000km if you are using semi synthetic oil or 10,000km if you are on fully.

That is too bad, so much money will be wasted.

Can I buy my own dust and pollen filter and let Honda SC install it for me? They are charging RM3xx for the filter which can be bought at like RM25.

just buy the dust & pollen filter and install urself lah. easy ma

I don't think the pollen filter cost RM300+. Maybe you got it wrong with fuel filter. If I am not wrong, pollen filter cost about RM70+ from Honda SC.
