I think don't waste money and buy the degreaser to clean it yourself.

Don't clean it until April when you go replace the seals. At least he will be able to guess where the leaks are coming from. After replacing those seals, ask him to clean your engine again lor.

1. Air bag (don't know if it has been changed, if not how much will it be since already missed the recall program)
You can always go to a Honda SC and check whether it had been replaced previously.. If no, Honda will replace them FOC.

2. Torque converter (lost of power when shifting gear 2 to 3?)
Rarely there's any issue in regards to torque converter. Sometimes, it could possibly be due to low ATF fluid in the gearbox. Since your aunt's City had clocked in less than 30,000km, the gearbox should still be in very good condition.

3. Starter motor (hard to start after a short break)
This is a prominent issue but to me, a minor issue. The car will still be able to start, you only need to wait a few minutes for it to cool off. If you want to replace a new Denso starter. it should cost only a couple hundred ringgit.

Once you get the car, things to consider doing are as below:

1. Replace engine oil (5W30) and transmission oil (ATF DW-1);
2. Inspect air filter and cabin filter;
3. Clean throttle body;
4. Replace coolant (Honda Type 2);
5. Inspect suspension for wear and tear. I doubt you'll need any replacement since the mileage is low on the car.

Not yet.. Plan to go after 26th January.. Hope I am not lazy.

Hantuk over normal bumps actually means your rear shocks kong already.

Another way is to change the rear rubber bushing to a thicker 1... You can refer to Post #4066 for image example.

I think blower fan coat around 100+..factor in labour and shop profit, expect to pay around RM250-RM350 to get it replaced.

To me, blower motor use OEM is ok because it won't damage the engine...

If radiator motor use OEM, then I personally don't agree.

It is not necessary.. It won't damage the engine or other components.

However, I normally turn A/C off because I don't like the blower to blow air when I turn on the ignition.

What did you bought at Hingan?

After pumping once at 420, I am confident the spare tyre won't burst.. Next time can pump with confidence.

Wanted to check with you.. Your radiator top fiber casing, is it still black or started to turn yellowish and now at what mileage?

I wanted to gauge and see other City and see how's their radiator top casing condition.

When you are free, snap a photo of the top radiator casing and let me see..for comparison.

Standby 4 bottles (4 litre). Drain and refill the radiator will around 3.4 litre.

If you want to replace also the coolant in reservoir tank, will need another 500 ml.

Yes. I've tried using 3 bottles and it is not enough. You will still need to add a bit more water. Probably around 300ml. I've added in distilled water though, not tap water.

That's why I suggest you to buy 4 bottles. With that, you can replace the coolant in the reservoir tank too.

Mechanic will use sand and rocks. Put them inside and mix with water then goncang secukupnya until the inside is clean.

Then rinse with water to remove remaining sand and dirt.

GM2 no EGR valve.

How much he wants to charge you for the camber screw?

RM95 is confirm cut throat price.. If he is willing to sell it ar around RM20, then I would say it is reasonable.

Installing camber screw also has its disadvantage as the offset can run after awhile.. Unlike the original will always stay at a permanent offset since it can't be adjusted.

Also, worn ball joints, strut mount, tie rod, and other wheel suspension parts may contribute to camber misalignment.

My opinion, no need to change. Probably the 0.4 offset won't impact much on the tyre..

How much for the local blower?

Can see the condition is a lot better than mine although mine has a bit lower mileage than yours.

Probably due to the fact that mine was always stuck in traffic jams.

Thanks for sharing the picture.

Mine to snap a photo to let me see the condition of your top radiator casing?
