QUOTE(jucl @ Dec 13 2016, 06:26 PM) I was told turbo maintenance is high but if you look at Honda's website it seems like otherwise . Isit bcoz turbo is 1.5 n thus uses less engine oil compare to 1.8? I don't see why it is high but the intervals might be shorter depending on driving condition. Is say rm300 ringgit a year extra high maintenance?This post has been edited by Drian: Dec 13 2016, 06:31 PM |

QUOTE(jucl @ Dec 13 2016, 06:42 PM) Only that small difference? In that case turbo is definitely better. Not only u save more fuel but road tax is cheaper too but i doubt so. I think turbo cost is much more than that. Best to check with the civicX club people. Btw does civic need to do decarbo as well? As far as I know , decarbo is one of those things that is not mandatory but people do it anyway just to play safe. VW club people recommends every 60k. |

Sometimes I think the overheat issue has been exaggerated by sales people like vengeful in an attempt to improve their own car sales.
