Hey guys,
I wanted to use a dashcam in my car but found that the cigarette lighter which provides the power is not working. Has anyone here had the same problem ? If yes I'd like to know how you guys resolved it. |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Jun 9 2020, 01:33 PM) Could be a blown fuse which caused the cigarette lighter / accessories socket port to stop working. Yeah I found these videos on how to replace the fuse, seems simple enough. Sometimes, it can also be the USB hub which converts to the acc socket that isn't working. Wondering if anyone here has tried it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qfv3KOoZ3lw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0DDyjFxmso&t=526s |

Hey guys,

QUOTE(Thrust @ Sep 29 2021, 07:41 AM) For 100k service, you will only need change these few items: Thank you so much for the recommendation. Yes I did look up the 100k scope, but before this was I going to SC and IIRC they said the 100k scope will cost about RM 1k lol.1) Engine oil and oil filter; 2) Iridium spark plugs; 3) Serpentine belt; The below is my recommended added parts to change: 1) ATF oil and its external filter; 2) Clean throttle body; 3) Clean MAF sensor. I used to have a reliable mechanic at OKR but he retired after met with an accident. This old man prefer you buy the parts and he will charge labour only. I suggest you better travel a bit further to get these items replaced at VMAG Motorsports. He always works on Honda City and it is easy peasy job for him to service / replace parts on your City. |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Sep 29 2021, 09:19 AM) If u do it outside, my estimate is that it will xost you around ~700 for the items I quoted above.. Price varies on the type of engine oil you use. Thanks, yes I recently found out about the spark plug cost The spark plugs already cost around rm250.. serpentine belt around rm100. QUOTE(cempedaklife @ Sep 29 2021, 11:42 AM) 1) Engine oil and oil filter; Wow thanks so much for the detailed input, I’ve got some reading to do on this. Appreciate it.i think you know the price 2) Iridium spark plugs; i bought rm200 NGK iridium spark plug from lazada donkey years ago, may not be best option (if there is fake) but i used for years so should be ok.) labour shouldn't be that expensive, should be same with labor of changing engine oil or around there. 3) Serpentine belt; i bought bando brand from local parts shop when i don't know yet to get parts from honda genuine stockist. its rm35, again run for years, so far so good. might be better you get genuine one should be same with labor of changing engine oil or around there. The below is my recommended added parts to change: 1) ATF oil and its external filter; oil rm22 per bottle, you need 3, external filter is rm85 2 years ago, both from honda genuine parts store.(this one better find honda specialist, i ask my neighbourhood workshop about atf filter, they dunno what i talk about lol) 2) Clean throttle body; labor rm140 about 2 years ago (this one better find honda specialist) 3) Clean MAF sensor. buy MAF sensor cleaner clean yourself, totally worth it. either get liqui moly (https://shopee.com.my/Liqui-Moly-Air-Flow-Sensor-Cleaner-Car-Care-(200ml)-4066-i.39369127.1189526249?position=9) or CRC (https://shopee.com.my/CRC-Mass-Air-Flow-Sensor-Cleaner-Spray-11-Wt-oz-05110-i.312896830.8618561815?position=8) i got my liqui moly for rm25, i have no idea why it was so cheap at that time, I've been eyeing it for some time. cempedaklife liked this post

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🤔 |

QUOTE(Thrust @ May 15 2022, 11:17 AM) The whistle sound is a known issue on this car.. It is usually caused by the windscreen rubber molding which resonates sound when going at highspeed. Ok thanks for sharing, i guess I just didn’t notice it before because lately I have been driving without audio on.My also will have if I go around 110 - 120kmh.... Usually the radio will muffle the wind noise. |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Jun 11 2022, 11:25 PM) You should not mix tyres with different thread pattern. It is not so safe in the wets as different thread pattern will have a different water dispersion rate. QUOTE(90Boyz @ Jun 11 2022, 11:41 PM) Thanks! 90Boyz liked this post

QUOTE(Thrust @ Jul 4 2022, 08:11 AM) I believe that is a bluetooth enabled scan tool.. There are devices that allows a bluetooth module be plug into the car's OBD2 port.. then it will communicate with the phone via it's app to show all data logged and sent from the ECU to the phone app. QUOTE(90Boyz @ Jul 4 2022, 10:38 AM) ![]() Hi bro, im using this thinkdiag mini OBD scan tool to monitor the radiator temp, it works on android or apple devices |

QUOTE(DS51 @ Aug 22 2022, 10:04 PM) Not my primary car anymore. Got few car ady. btw, this city almost perfect. Just one things I quite annoyed with it. Super sluggish response/power delivery. I think u all for sure experience it. If press accelerator, rpm really hard to climb. Maybe they engineer, set up gm2 gearbox like that. This is my primary car, and recently I got to use another car loaned from a family member while sending my city for paint touch up for about a week. If u use multiple car from different brand. Then u know what I trying to said. Its not regards to fast or slow, but its regards to terrible power delivery. Got any solution on this?. or just live with it.. The other car was a Preve (non-Turbo version). Trust me, compared to that car, the city feels like a formula 1 car lol. I guess I'm fortunate that my comparison makes my current car feel good |

QUOTE(cempedaklife @ Nov 20 2022, 05:43 PM) dammit. took out my washable engine filter and forgot to install it back. drove out today to neighbouring area within 10km radius to run some errand, basically without any filter. Air filter? Would it be a big impact, since you didn't go a big distance?come back, off car, then realize. There's risk of particulates in the combustion chamber I guess |

QUOTE(Thrust @ Apr 14 2023, 05:02 PM) Today I just replaced all 4 shock absorbers back to Showa... Thanks can please share how to decide when to change the absorbers? Previously was using KYB Excel G and the feel is like riding a horse. Now, the ride is much softer and comfortable. Some people say only change if theres a sound lol Also any other parts that are recommended to change at the same time? My car mileage is 120k now. |
