Hi all sifus, need ur expert advice. for 5k service, engine cleaner and engine treatment no need right? Thx in advance

I didn't opt for it. U can do it if u have cash to spare. Lol..

Nehhh. Bcos felt weird, engine so new, what for put in engine cleaner and treatment?
Another thing i wanna ask, my mileage was 5199 when i serviced, so is my next service at 10199km or must stick to 10k km also?

Attached is the service sticker the SA wrote that made me confused

wow...reporting in! well done V9 edi!

New city 10K service interval (pretty sure same engine).. sien loh. haha.

if add 5k shud be 10199 lah
but i think depends on SC
once i sent for service the mileage is just a tad bit over 90k..for the next service they just put 95k
previously they just add 5k

All rear drum and no paddle shifters for new city .. looks like current city still got some advantages ya ..

Need helps guys.

My driver's side wing mirror cannot fully extend but the passenger's side is fine.

Advise =(

I can't even drive properly without the wing mirror on my side.

You gain some and lose some lor
Generally this generation of City change is relatively the same
More like a big facelift than an all new model to me

if youre looking at an outlook change and yes it does look like a facelift as it looks very similar to the current generation. But deepdown, the shell has been revamped with diff curvatures but doesnt look too different. The chasis and wheelbase was restructured too with longer wheelbase and wider chasis so that is definately not a minor facelift. The interior designs all are different including the dashboard. I would say from the skin, it looks like the current generation but deep down its a major revamp but i think Honda might want to ride to the success wave of the current gen City and made their designs similar. Cant blame Honda since the current generation City was being popular until Japanese also demanded for the City to be sold there, hence the coming City will be sold in Japan with the Hybrid variant in place.

IMO, i still prefer the current City outlook though. The coming one seems abit tad weird, not sure is the grill or something.

Anyone here cleaned their throttle body before?

Anyone know how much is the original dust and pollen filter? Know any auto parts dealer selling this filter? I request not to replace this filter for my 20k service as it cost around RM111.

can find in automotive garage. i guess it cost around rm30 each

just want to ask simple question...if the car under warranty meaning that Honda will cover our car for manufacturer defect only or any accidents happen.. thinking of servicing my car outside the SC since their charge is too high and i travel a lot...5k less than 2months...

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3135302&hl=

i want to sell this front grille...anyone interested?

Guys, how much do you normally pump your tires? If i follow the door side attached stating 210, seems tire very soft only. and turning seems hard.

If no mistaken, front should be 200, rear is 220, right?

I pump both side are 210

Hi all . After I see your post . I just realised mine lost too .... and I see other city lost also . Walou . I think maybe is ppl collect Metal who took it for sell . I notice many HC Dint have it ...

bro, how do you know the one in bold? any source? too bad if they remove the rear disc..

From paul tan
2014 Honda City

Are you sure all new city rear drum? The tire profile is 175/65 R15 should be for lower spec...

Thank you. Only realize when i read here

SA confirmed that and all variant in Thailand from hight to lowest spec is rear drum.

Why cars nowadays love to equip their cars with "Circus" looking wheels?

Hi Guys and Honda owner, I am undergoing a situation with Honda Malaysia for my City which put in me in a helpless position. Would like to seek you guys' advice/opinion on how to take the matter forward.
Below is part of the discussion I have had with Honda
Malaysia (via email) of which I have also posted on their Facebook.

////////
Hi Honda Malaysia,

This is regarding an issue now I'm having with my Honda City. On 11Jan14, sent my car for service due to malfunction of air cond at 1130am as scheduled one day in advance. Was told to wait until 3pm, left 3S centre and waited my car from home. Received a call from Service Adviser (SA) from centre informing that my car's metter assy was faulty causing malfunction of air-cond and it required to be exchanged to a new one, was told that they will submit my claim on 13Jan14. Got a call from the SA that the claim was submitted on 13Jan14 but can"t guarantee when the part will arrive, not even dates before CNY. I called the SA on 15,16,20Jan but still not getting any good news for the car. I asked whether there is a courtesy car for my temporary usage but unfortunately no. SA responded several times to me that HONDA HQ has no stocks for the part.

Would like to express the unsatisfactory of
which the part requires such long waiting period. Apart from my car requiring this part, trust the same part is used for your NEW car in production. My preference of this first car is Honda is due to its reputable quality and service, however this issue is a huge disappointment to me. Further, the communication given by dealer was not professional in terms of after-sales service. I demand that I will be contacted immediately once the part is available because the condition of car now is unbearable.

*Please see enclosed response from Honda Malaysia's customer care.

Thanks for your attention.

I thought HONDA usually have ample stock for their spare parts?

very sorry to hear your sad case.

According to the dealer's service advisor, dealer doesn't keep spare parts while they get it from Honda HQ after submitting request. Not sure if this is just arrangement of my dealer, Peringgit (Klang lama), others have heard other info?

Hi, Din.

I am thinking of the same thing too, anyone know any reputable mechanic for Honda city at BM area? Honda SC expensive labor charge and 6% gov service charge.

Last time got bulk for locktech right? How much normal price for city including installation?

Anyone experiencing air-conditioning problem? Gotten my new City early this year, done about 2500km as of today.

Apparently, the air-conditioning takes some time to cool down with the cool air blowing into the cabin. Whenever the car is stationary, it's blowing out warm air (although the temperature dial is at 70% max & at 3rd speed of air). But whenever I accelerate, it produced cool air for a while.
It takes a good 10-15 minutes to actually blow cool air out.

Is this the A/C issue or is just that most Honda City compressors are function that way?

Thanks!
-W

Also anyone installs Potent Booster on their City ride?

If the car is blowing out warm air whenever the car is stationary, i think there's problem with your A/C

Dear city owners and sifus here...I would like to get my 2012 FL city new rims...thinking to change 17 inch..would like to seek u guys advise, what offset of 17 inch rims is the best for our city? thanks in advance

So did they give you any courtesy car finally since possibly now you are still waiting? Did you buy the car from Peringgit as well?

This post has been edited by kons: Mar 4 2014, 04:14 PM

my car aircond is working fine regardless stationary or moving...better send your car back to sc for further checking

after driving city for nearly 2months, finally realize the car's gearbox is really poor.

kena myvi tailgate at 140km/h on North South highway 5th gear....

at that speed even viva also can tailgate you

140km/h only?? no wonder myvi can tailgate u...

Wa, Myvi can speed until 140 so fast??!!

even 160km/h myvi can go..up to u whether u dare to 'tekan habis' or not..no nid to hear other people say..just try if urself..

if its a myvi SE 1.5 . can go 180 easily.

Haha, I was drive Myvi 1.3 previously, no dare to speed higher when reaching 130, because feel flying already...

Especially when you just got into a very hot car on a hot day, does your air-conditioning cools down immediately (blowing cool air)?
As for mine, it takes good 15-20 minutes (speed at 3 and 70% temperature) to have the A/C blowing cool air. Meantime, it just blowing warm air though.

Thanks!

I've managed to do about 160-170KMph on my City few weeks ago heading down to Singapore. But it sure stresses the engine and the gearbox for sure. Of course with the under-carriage shield, it helps with the aerodynamics during high-speed. Less air drag though!

This post has been edited by whackowilson: Mar 5 2014, 05:29 PM

well after awhile i found the problem....

5th gear is not meant to give good acceleration at that speed

i downshifted to 4th gear, then he can't catch up....took him awhile to get near. at that time i oledi 170.

but strange, i feel my car more stable after 140. at 100-130, feel very sensitive to wind and not stable.

dun really like this gearbox. at lowspeed, i cant get smooth gearshift without pressing a lot on the fuel.

maybe i miss my old manual tranny car too much.....

how much you bought the under-carriage shield for? thinking either do under carriage or add the modulo wings.

Got mine at sc. Rm15 for one pair

Quick question, anyone here did leather seat for ur city? How much it cost u and can recommend me the shop?

No. I asked for courtesy car but dealership said NA.
Yes I bought my car there.
Just got my car fixed with newly replaced Meter cluster by dealer.
Still pissed at their service level.

yes, blowing cool air, not immediately but not more than 1min also

it takes 15-20 min to cool down the cabin, or to get the cool air blowing?

if the latter, then quite abnormal in my point of view.

hi bro may I know rm15/pair is it at sc or spareparts shop? Mine was stolen this morning so cheap la this fellas that thing also wanna steal

Hello, may I know whether the radio can set for songs randomly during playing CD or USB??

Tested in usb, yes.

Not sure about cd.

Oh I see, how to set??

Parked under the sun, it takes about 15-20 minutes only to have the A/C blowing the cool air; and eventually cools the cabin.. Sometimes, during the 15 mins of blowing warm air from the A/C; there's irregularities whereby I do get this cool>warm>cool>warm air out. Honestly, I would be sweating for the first 15 minutes in the car

So for the apparent reason, shouldn't the A/C be blowing cool air in just a few minutes like most cars do?

I might suspect not enough gas or A/C compressor issue?? Oh well! will probably get it checked out on my coming servicing.

Anyone else, fellow owners experience as such before? Please advice.

I planned to have my interior seats changed into leather but I put on hold to that. But one of my friend, (new Honda City) had his interior seats changed. Had his changed with Pecca Leather in Kepong for about Rm2500 including the side panels (interior door handle) and the armrest.

It's Orsen Shield Under Armour Protection Skid Plate (if you heard about this before in the auto market) I got it installed for Rm320. No need modulo wings lah!
Here's the google link on where you can read up more about the Orsen Shield.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Osren+shiel...+shield&spell=1

To help with this, I had the 'Potent Booster' installed to assist with the gear shift on low speed. You might want to read up about it too. In my case, it does help a lot for me though.

there is instructions in manual what bro

press the "menu" button, look for the setting inside.

ya, super irregular for your case.
kindly share us the update after visit sc and see what is their finding.

Guys. Would it void my warranty if i change car battery at outside workshop?

Thanks in advance

I have go through again the manual book, but i could not find any detail about...

Alright, will try later and see

Thanks ya

Press menu button twice, Pmode it is.

where u got it installed? can reduce road noise? u know city is so noise on highway

May I know the new City come with any cover??

Maybe you can see the link below
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2673852/all

all sifu sifu, abang abang here.....im new to the new city (only can use `new` for this 2-3 days).....and i feel weird cause first time drive honda

thing i figure weird is
1) when my car in slow speed, 20-40km, i feel my car it got slightly breaking feel, it feel like something pulling back my car.....I try to ask the service agent, he say this is some feature it call "power shift" (i also not sure is it correct ot not....

2) When i drive for some period example 1 hour....they remote key will get some heat, is everyone is the same?

Since city 2014 will be releasing soon, is there any way we can get new city 2013, at cheaper price? Just wondering.

No it does not come with the stock cover for the city.

Not sure if it reduces road noise but it does somehow improve my driving especially cruising on high speed. Lesser down force drag.
Had it installed at Lim Tayar at TTDI and I am sure you should be able to find in most Lim Tayar workshops.

1. Not really sure about this whether I experienced exactly what you had, and to most current Honda City owners. Probably I did not realized it as much as it was subtle for me. Apparently, there's some "Shift Lock" for the current City for the auto transmission. But you should clarify more with other City owners here and find out further?

2. Surprisingly, my key fob is quite normal, unlike your situation that it tends to get warm.

okay, will look for it...

I know Jusco in 1U downstairs the shop does sell car accessories, so it can be available there as well.

Is this undercarriage protection cover come with few types??

Any idea when the all new city will be launch?

14/15th march i heard
