Hi City members...  would like to ask something....  my friend recently sold his city to another friend..  now the car seem to have some problem..  the car is the first batch of City..  the problem is now the CVT have gone wrong somewhere somehow..  send back to service center, guess wat..  the service center say if wanna repair that, it cost more than RM20k..... 

any of u guy face the CVT problems??  please jaga it baik baik..  else.. 

it happened quite a long while already.. when i brake harder than usual from high speed, the steering wheel will vibrate quite roughly.. i knew the rotors were warped, but no idea what caused them.. (and nope, i'm not dumb enuff to hose the damn brakes when it's hot, or wash my car when it's still hot!)

I paid a visit to another SC since Peringgit Auto did not want to repair my car (i made a list of things to repair, but most priority is on the brakes) on the eve of Deepavali with the reason that they just wanna service cars and get them on the road ASAP.

At the other SC, the rotors were taken out for skimming (quite a lot of skimming done).. and i was told that if it warped again, a claim has to be made.. no idea how the rotors warped

So the past 2-3 days, whenever i brake, the right side brakes make an audible "chet chet chet" sound at the same place at every revolution.. i wasn't sure if the brakepads were at fault, or the rotor this time around..

Maxis was shitty today (calls to SC keep getting d/c-ed after a while) so i drove to the SC to troubleshoot the matter.. they remove the brakepads to skim again.. then told me that my brakepads are gonna wear out soon and advice me to replace them.. oddly, i wasn't told about this when the rotors and pads were taken out for skimming and that it's a surprised that the pads worn out so quickly (usually lasts 40,000km, i'm 300km shy of 25,000km)

I spent more than half an hour there pondering whether to replace the brakepads or not (cuz obviously it is pricier than what i can get outside).. after a while, they then give me a good solution lo.. they'll make a claim for new set of rotors, and when the rotors are here, i'll buy new brakepads to be fitted to the rotors)

Normally 3 types of materials are used.

ABS, PU, Fibreglass.

OEM parts are normally ABS.

in your opinion (you CITY owners) is it worth spending RM 60 - 70k on a 2004 / 05 City ISDI?

IIRC new one is about RM 80k.

so i'm thinking of an 05 version at RM 60 - 65k. not sure about the early 06 version (face lifted) that one maybe close to 70k, not sure.

yeah i know. if 10k below a new car, i would rather get new.

but 20k is a lot of difference. within 65k range. it's either a Waja, Myvi, Neo or 2nd hand City - which i'm still thinking whether it is alright to buy.

u heard the same thing too? it make sense to me...but i dunno true or not...

I'm planning to get a VTEC 07' model soon. Really like this car...
but I heard that City's CVT gear box is giving problems
and the CVT gear is very expensive. Can you guys enlighten me on this.

Thank you very much.

Dear ALL,

THANK YOU, am really humbled by the responce
Firstly, my apologies, as the car plate number was typed wrongly,
WPD shld have been WPQ, error has been rectified. WPQ 5757

My lawyers are already on the case, and would take (standard Malaysian time)
between now to six months for "process"  nevetheless me and my
family are praying hard the fella gets what he deserves...

Finally just back from my City Vtec 1st genting trip.....

As I used to drive manual cars previously, so I really don't know the correct way to drive an AT car to genting. So I just use D at the beginning, then I try S and it seem more responsive, finally I try the 7 speed M mode, manage to overtake quite a number of cars....

But I really need advice from GURUs here, which is the proper & CVT Care way(s) to drive our City to genting? By using D mode all the way up or S mode?

Also if I wanted to use my 7speed mode during reving, when is the best RPM that should I change the speed so it won't lost the power?

S mode max rpm can reach 6200rpm, what bout D mode? Same rpm as well?

Well, City is my 1st own auto car, so I really don't know the better way to drive it since all the while I drive only manual.

I know we can change from D to S mode while we are cruising, but can we change from D to L or S to L? Will it harm the gearbox?

I think I really need some brief explaination on how does the CVT function. Anyone care to help out?

I also not sure about CVT function... are you guys referring to the 7-mode manual driving? How come most of you scare it will spoil? Is that so fragile? Meaning we can't use it all the time?

Gouki or any other out there... just wanted to know anyone have the answer to this question i have.

Does the CVT implementation in the City / Jazz has a torque converter ??

I don't have a problem going fast with City/Jazz but I'm more concerned about its stopping ability from those speeds 
Jazz/City is an efficient design thats why it has less power loss compared to other cars, for example the steering is electrical instead of using power from the engine.

Going up Genting or roads with gradient a CVT car will always have an advantage. Can even pwn some 2.0 Perdana's 

Sentra 1.8 wor?  Manual or auto?  The manual is quite powderful... or is that the 1.6... umm, forgot

When doing rapid acceleration on i-DSI S-manual, the RPM should go up to what level before upshifting for max speed?

Those cars if you're talking about pickup from traffic light of course lah but highway abit difficutl when they already rolling 

Somemore mine is 1.3 i-dsi Jazz not 1.5 vtec city   

Civic #7 1.7 no problem.
Civic #6 1.6 don't play play
I go Thailand recently saw all the newest Nissan and Mazda models, cun cun. Here? Still using old generation model

perdana v6 2.0 can pwn easily on highway? must salute gouki bro 

when i was still on 15" stock rims, on highway sticking at the back of this v6, the acceleration from 120-160 totally no fight with him, reach top speed 180 and i think he also maintain at that speed. I m using D-mode manual at that time, squeeze kao kao every hp i have on my car d

Gouki very careful with his words   You sure can play with Camry ah? Camry quite fast woh
