Hi All,
Good Day. Do i need to change Fuel Strainer for my Honda City 2011 after 40,000km as in preventive maintenance handbook. My engineering friend said it might not be necessary. coz fuel from malaysia petrol station already filtered. not like some country sell petrol on road side that possible mixed with other content like water. Great if can hear your professional opinion. Thanks Regards |

QUOTE(wayfeel @ Jan 26 2015, 12:09 PM) Just sharing my layman opinion and experience ok tk wit grind of salt Thanks for sharing. I think got the symptom rasa like the fuel x naik like that lol pls google. I got change fuel strainer/filter for my honda cars regardless but more than 40k km..i dont rmbr d mileage, myb 80K coz the strainer is only under 1xx- 2xx rm. I dont rmbr SC price. Doesnt hurt to change coz only affect the 'power' only due to purity of fuel but its not high priority like gearbox oil n engine oil  last time i change engine Air filter. just the two clips. open. and put drop in filter. honda charge me RM80 for labour to change that filter of RM89. i like wtf. now i check for fuel strainer. my 40K service need change brake fluid, engine oil & filter and strainer. labour is RM180. if i not mistaken. fuel strainer just to screw out like oil filter but in even easier position. thinking of doing it outside. can share how much labour outside thanks lot regards |

QUOTE(Matrix @ Jan 26 2015, 05:34 PM) Make a living i dun care...but pls dun screw up my car.... Agreed. hard to get good mechanic. i also dont want to get screw. so looking for the balance. either to replace in Honda or outside. So it's always better to find someone who knows what they're doing, but very hard to find good car mechanics nowadays. |

QUOTE(nm7 @ Jan 26 2015, 05:17 PM) Filter or strainer. Some older Honda's have a strainer in the engine bay while the more recent ones seems to have a in-tank filter. yup. that's why piss while see that few seconds job cost so expensiveAs far as i know, strainer is usable for quite long while the filter has to be changed after a period of time according to the service manual. Either one, don't DIY as the fuel lines are pressurized. And more importantly, don't smoke while you are at it  I only know the Civic FD ones are under the back seat and it is quite a hassle to get to it. I don't mind paying for the labor charge for that job. But 80 bucks to change pollen filter, that is a major nut kicker as that is a 30 second job at most. |

QUOTE(wayfeel @ Jan 26 2015, 10:53 PM) if change many labor charges rm1xx, i will just do it at the SC. especially under warranty. besides, that one is 80k km do once, it doesnt hurt to pay rm1xx labor for a 3-5yrs mileage if u catch my drift. According to Honda Service Manual at website for City 2011 change fuel strainer every 40,000km. Brake Fluid as well. fuel strainer for some model is hassle to change, i've seen before. definitely way difficult than normal service. unless if u can find/ know someone outside who know well about honda cars/know what they are doing then by all means do it outside. fuel strainer is a fuel related thing, i had once do it outside, u never know which wires wrongly installed or not put in properly because the workshop is so busy coz so popular and they delegate a 'normal mechanic' do ur car then u jialat lor....than save the rm1xx labor charge which one replacement in so long....sensitive parts somemore... if my FC still good. is it necessary? Thanks Regards |
