Turbo owners, anything we should be concerned of?

I wouldn't be. The overheating issue is not widespread and not engine design related. If you look at the Thailand issue, it affects both Turbo and 1.8 models and my take is a shared part no cooling component failure.

The pic below is not of the 1.5T engine.

wahhh... same case as Thailand 1??

What exactly was that auntie saying when she came in? Kinda intriguing.

Just did my first 1000km service at Bandar Sri Damansara. Asked SC so far no overheat issue reported. My car got panel gap at driver side door but easily fixed at SC.

sorry if i couldn't quote all of you...

but the auntie say the car keep prompt the overheat system message to her and make her feel uncomfortable with... and she say it is a new car bla bla bla... then those SA and technician put her into queue and go out check her car.

FYI, i'm a civic 9th gen user... and sensor problem will haunt us when your car getting 2-3yrs old... CKD quality as expected...

When i collect my car, i kepoh with the service advisor and he said this auntie is the first case, need to check further wor...


** i doesn't know the root cause of it, but I see it myself today... And i don't know the final diagnostic result.. so i should keep it until here **

I just got my Civic x gen, 1.8 and after driving for a week now, there are a few things I'd like to know:

1. Is the headlights always on auto, can it be switched to manual i.e. on manually only?
2. Is there a panic button option on the remote key fob?
3. If I switched off the air cond will it auto turn on if I use the remote engine start?
4. At what angle / pitch would the hill assist kick in? If the slope is small, I may still need to either engage the handbrake or Brake Hold feature, won't I?

Hope someone out there have better experience and can advise. Thanks in advance.

Nothing to worry la brother.

So far, I really start putting some kmh into the car, never crossed the mid mark.
Love the fact that I can hit 160 without touching 3000 rpm

Only complaint is that the FC..... really far from advertised.
Maybe i got lead foot.

1. can set to manual. read the manual handbook.
2. not too sure, maybe can google up.
3.can. it will still auto turn on. i tried.
4. at minor slope, can put brake hold feature. i tried it too.

I think there was a video before comparing factory installed windshields and replacement windshields. Factory installed windshields are purportedly able to lift the car's weight by itself.

So, i don't see the point of purposely breaking your windshields just to make the most of the insurance.

The insurance is just a betting game. If statistically you have managed to claim the windshield in your previous car multiple times. It might be worth having it. If not, just think of saving aside money spend for the premium of the windshield in case it breaks 4 or 5 years down the road.

Doing 160 and expect us to believe you are light footed?

guilty as charged.

But i really tried to be light footed. Its just... too damn easy to go fast in this car without realising it.

Noted.

I've been replacing windscreens almost every year since 2004 on my previous cars. And I always get it done at the authorised service centre (Toyota and Kia). BMW will be a first for me in Dec this year.

Isn't your Auto Brake Hold switched on always?

Anyway for everyone's info, the Auto Brake Hold on the Civic is surely a class above the BMW. Engages and releases very smoothly. You barely even know its there.

Not sure if the bigger rims on the BMW make the difference.

DAMN YOU!

Time for me to get an FK2R

That is a bit overkill right. I think they should introduce separate NCD for windscreen and hike up the premiums.

Depends on the dealer bro. My dealer here at accept 5K only

new civic lighter due to smaller fuel tank size?

Not really, Its the chassis. Most cars are being designed lighter but sturdier.
