hi guys im new civic owner. just got my TCP CBP on 31st Dec. i have a minor issue with aircond blower for radiatori suppose. there is minor rattling noise when i pedal down with aircond on. the noise will gone after i switch off the aircond. any owner experienced this issue?

U drive for 1k milleage first.. my civic when weent for first service, the sound has gone and never back since.. touch wood... 😀

Sometimes it does take longer. For my previous car it took about 2 months.
Follow up with your Sales Agent.

If the clear coat and paint is very soft, wouldn't it make sense to have some kind of coating applied? Just wondering which is better for both the car and my wallet in the long run....let's say next 5 years.

i've been driving the car for almost 3.5k d. the sound just came few days ago..hmmm

Just hit at the back this morning...... Most blur day in my life....

Not sure to send to Honda Centre to fix or send to shop outside....

Looks like need to change the bumper?

Appreciate anyone can share me good contact to fix this at reasonable price. My location at PJ / KL.

Thanks.

Yes I would recommend a good reputable coat for the Civic. I started out without it and noticed the ease in which the scratches appear from finger nails opening the door to bags leaving scratch marks on the bumper when removing from the trunk. After ~5 months I coated the car and it has been 2 months now, and no scratches since. But I am not sure how long the coating lasts. They warranty it for 7 years, but I suspect it won't last that long, meaning that I'll have to go back again to re-coat maybe a couple of times during that timeframe.

Pity you bro... I also kena and changed my bumper due to someone hitting me at a bumper to bumper crawl... Hopefully that person is fully insured and didn't lari. Of course, go to Honda Centre is the best - but might take a long while...

Anyway, on another note... I have dedicated myself to track the fuel price in Malaysia on a day to day basis, using the government's formula. isr25's Malaysia Daily Fuel Price Calculation. Hope this helps you guys to know whether the fuel price is going up, or down.

but i doubt coating can prevent scratches right? especially at the back of the door handles

This one you need to put the ppf. Paint Protection Film. A bit costly, but can prevent scratches and stone chips.

If the original clear coat and paint is very soft then I'd say that a good coating will help reduce the possibility and severity of scratches occurring. Only gripe I have with coating is they usually don't last that long even though they cost a lot. Past experience for me, the coat was gone after 1 year or so and I was very careful to use good quality car wash, towels, etc.

Ya, it won't make it scratch proof, but good coatings are scratch resistant and have good hardness rating which compensates for the soft clearcoat on our CKD Civics. Even the applicator cloth hardens and is erect after being used to apply the coat. The hardness (and durability) is the main difference in coatings vs. traditional products like wax/sealants.


http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/car...cation-process/
" It is important to note that the applicator cloths and towels used to remove the coating should be discarded after applying the coating as the residual product will harden the applicator cloth and could harden your microfiber towels as well."


https://www.carcareproducts.com.au/product/..._applicator_set
"Do not reuse your cloth once you have completed an application, Gyeon Coatings harden and your applicator cloth will become hard and may mar or damage the surface!"

There is still 1 more option out there, full self-healing material clear wrap. How durable it is i do not know, but for most owner the costs is not justifiable, it is meant for those sports car that has very expensive paint job.

Yes it's expensive and turns yellowish after 6-9 months. I have seen a white W205 Merc C class remove the expensive clear film off as half the car had turned yellow (he only wrapped the front of the car) while the other half remained white. Apparently ALL clear paint protection films in the market today turn yellowish over time. That's why I don't put clear films on my headlights as well although it was offered for free. After a few months, your nice white DRLs will start to look yellowish in color too

Where could we get coolant for Honda Civic? I just take delivery for 1 month and check the coolant yesterday, it was drop below minimum level.

hmmm good to know

Hi. We are intending to get a car for our parents, 65 years old. Anyone parents driving this car ? How's the driving experience ? Is it very low and may not be comfortable for old people ?

yes,not so suitable for old folks,too low

Both my parent and parent-in-law who sat next to me say this car is too low n they r scared to sit to 'close' to the road

But thats what i like this car hooyehhhh

Old ppl kinda not suitable, especially tall old ppl, it's low, but for teenager won't be problem, if need to carry out baby from baby seat will find difficulty also.
