ok, i should send it for outside replacement then..

thanks again for the help!

if i remembered correctly, Michelin XM2 also have a 195/55/16 - so its a little wider

i am on the ori model CPC2 but a little bigger 195/55/16

195/55/16 will make the tyre look fat due to thicker side walls wor.

not sure if mine is 50 or 55, i can get u a pic, not fat donuts ...

guys, how much the cost for the headlamp ?

my car headlamp pecah from inside.

i use 195/55/16..to me not that fat lah.

the bulb u mean? i bought in here around rm80 or rm90

Appreciate it if you can share a picture

Holla. If I change the headlamp bulb to something better and stronger like Phillips Xtreme Vision 100%, will it damage my headlamp cover i.e. turn yellowish or faded.

Thanks.

Not the bulb.. The casing for the bulb.

Just read from the star stating that tyre prices going down.around what mileage did u all changed tyres?

25000 km exchange front and rear, change all new 4 tyres should be on 50000 km ??

Please correct me if I doing wrong

It is recommended to swap front & to rear every 10,000km.. But I do it every 15,000-20,000km depending on feel of the steering & whether alignment is out.

Replace all 4 new tyres are subjective. There are a lot of anomalies that will affect the lifetime of a tyre. Some tyres last a lot longer than other, how we drive the car, how we take care of the tyres etc..

It is recommended to replace every 4 years though..

This could be really subjective. The tyre shop advice me to swap on 20k, change all 4 new tyres on 40k

Feel not bad with stock tyre CPC2, wanna give a try with XM2 when the time to change all 4

sure, later when i get back to my car ...

i have changed mine to philips aftermarket and osram aftermarket, and now i am currently on projector with HID, no issues

if the tires are not worn out, and still looks good for after 2 years, change it as the rubber will harden over time, if you are driving it regularly, i guess in 2 years time it will wear out

but like some where they rarely drive it, and the usage is not wearing out the tires, then 2 - 3 years should be it ...

if not gonna change all 4, at least the front 2

Guys. Any of you change from 16" to 15" rims?Care to share the performance and feel?Might change to 15" rims due to wider and cheaper choices of rim and tyre.

haha bro sorry its 195/50/16

Hi there.. i try to diy for gearbox oil replacement. i asked in teamcity forum but seem no one reply me yet, so i try my luck here.

ok, straight to the point. how do you guys measure the gearbox fluid level? measure it during engine off or running?

previous workshop do measure it by running the engine, while other workshop off the engine to measure.

i asked why, as while engine running, the fluid level is way below minimum. he told me that is normal as fluid is pumped all gearbox area. however, i end up asking him to top up until in between L-H (with engine running)

in my city 2005 (cvt) manual book + internet, mentioning to off engine to measure for honda, while other brand is by running the engine.

which one is the correct way? sifus?

hi guys,

i'm using honda city 2011. and have started going to service outside of SC twice.

2 questions here:

1. the coolant cannot add water? what should i do if coolant almost near min?
2. recommend engine oil for me plz..i do not know what is good.

just before the petrol drop price, i've switched from shell ron95 to caltex ron95...instant feel the difference..now i just pump caltex ron97.

heard from my fren that his fren tried to track the difference between shell and caltex ron95, drive all the way to genting to test it out with some machine/computer attached to the car. said that shell has more knocking (i don't really understand).

but i can feel it after switching, after using shell ron95 for the past 3 years. drawback is that caltex is not everywhere. i got 2 around my house area. but it's a pain to find one when u r on a trip
