I got leaks too but suspect is overflow from ATF
can see the fluid is red in colour on top of the AT gearbox

3liter as per the sales advisor at Honda Parts shop but my foreman says it wasn't enough that have to fill up a little more like 100~200ml from another unfinished Honda DW1 ATF from his shop

Your looks damn clean weii
Mine like copper color

Hi all,
I notice a whistling sound coming from outside the car (suspect it’s the roof area) when I’m driving above ~90 km/h usually on highways. Checked and didn’t notice anything missing or loose. This is a new sound and I’ve not noticed it before.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Not even sure what to look for really🤔

Depends on type of oil im using
Full synth before 10k even before 6mths
Semi is before reaching 5k

Hi all,
What tyres are you using and would recommend at the moment?

I'm using 185/55 R16, as below, considering changing out the rear 2 and swap to front, looking for recommendations please

Front: MICHELIN ENERGY XM2+ (1 year old, ~ 10k KM)
Rear:  Continental CC6 (4 years old, ~35k km)

Yesterday wasnt that lucky enough
Car sustained heavy coolant leakage at unknown places, luckily managed to park at the empty lots at the roadside and call my insurance company to tow the car back to my home .

sorry to hear that and thanks for the effort to share it.
let us know the update.

did the engine overheat ie: engine light come on?

on a side note, I'm just back from a road trip, and had the chance to sit on my SIL's 2005ish corolla. even though its a much older car, and the usual rattling here and there at times for an old car, it's a very comfortable car to sit in when driving in those kampung highway and over bumps, as compared to my TMO. 

looks like its a good choice that its one of my options to replace TMO (whenever it happens in the future).

Just now after refilling the empty with distilled water so start off the engine and use OBD scan tool to monitoring the engine temp
Engine temp reaching 96c yet the fan din spin
So it started to spin when hitting 101c
After the fan spin for few times, i did inspect the suspect area for leaking
To my surprise i dont find any of it
Plus I don’t see any bubbles in the radiator so is a good sign
My friend suggested me do drive out nearby neighbourhood as maybe no pressure build up in the engine so can’t cause the leaking
Tomorrow will try again

I do check on engine oil cap and dipstick for the milky residue and good news it doesnt have it in my engine oil

Guess i need to find some workshop with equip with below pressure tester to further checking

Hi guys,

so i've been away for the whole week on a road trip earlier this month. needless to say, i have parked the car outside most of the time with no shades, and driven far (and perhaps trailing lorries, trucks, what not).

I only notice today the headlights are peeling quite serious, previously i just see a spot or so. the symptom itself as you can see from the pic. good thing is, i just use my one finger to swipe and it all peel off easily, with no further area damages, just the part where it stuck out.

for those that remember, I'm not too sentimental about cars, but the current plan is to have the option to keep this car for another 4-5 years, which makes it around 15 years old by then. its still a good car, but i could upgrade anytime before 4-5 years but would like to keep the option open.

so, I've always like to keep my car in good condition. i waxed my car not for vanity but to protect the paint. though i want it to look good. my stance is I'm driving an old car, but i don't want an image where I'm driving and old, beat up car. at this stage, what should i do?

1. leave it as it is? I'm not sure how it will look 5 years down the road.
2. i know from online and TMO FB group, so offer headlight restoration services, looks good, but with 5 years timeline, not sure if restore better or keep it this way better in the long run.
3. at this stage, i don't feel like buying a new headlight cover, i dunno the price but i presume definitely more than restoration and i don't need it to be that perfect. going aftermarket worries me as well coz I've seen very very bad headlight/cover on the road. i hate it.

before swiping it off

after

you did it outside? where?
i know can DIY, but i don't trust my skill + the hassle lol. rather get some freelance expert or what not.
i believe your restoration includes, sanding and re-coating?

how long the process?
I'll reach out to you when I've decided, for his contact.

thanks for your suggestion!
but mine is not cracked yet and touch wood light still good.
reluctant to change light without reasons coz on the road I've seen many lights burned the cover.
I'm okay with the original lights.

not that there is no good aftermarket light, just that...i don't need to take the risk and trouble 

Not sure is this the culprit atleast found some broken parts, replaced and test drive the whole afternoon everything seems alright
Will continue monitor from here
All old coolant has been flushed out and replaced by GEP type 2 LLC .

The hose was connected between throttle body to another housing which coolant pump out from the engine block


The shop located nearby wangsa maju and recommended by some fb group folks due to honest work and good pricing

early morning took a drive up to Genting highands for the radiator test, max out temp also @101c, which is not bad without aircond switching On
