Hi guys. I just got my car 3 days ago. But there is no countdown on the service mileage reminder. Just 3 dashes. I asked the SC and they told me to keep using the car and it will slowly pop up. Anyone else experienced this?

keep on going first...
but if u still not seeing it after 1k due...
then ask them check that time also...

I believe only number of the owners got this problem
My SA told me so far only one got the same issue as me , others no problem at all, I am quite curious
*
Mine occasionally hear something weird from fan when I run for awhile
When I turn off fan the sound gone
But not too sure is it sth wrong or normal (maybe I over sensitive?)

have to email to HM manager...

Honestly
It's a cost
But with recent hype and sale figures, HM shd b making enough to deal with this issue
It's good if they can treat this like an advertising cost
It shd help build confidence on them further and help sales
But I m not the boss
Their call lol

WTA..if 1.5 engine without turbo, is it the same technology as 1.8?
*
1.8 is R series
Manufacturer Honda Motor Co Ltd
Production 2006–present
Combustion chamber
Configuration Straight-4
Displacement 1.6 ,1.8 and 2.0
Valvetrain SOHC
Fuel system PGM-FI
Fuel type petrol
Cooling system water-cooled

while the 1.5 Turbo is L series
L15B7
Found in:
2016 Honda Civic turbo (US & South East Asia) and Honda CRV non-LX (USDM)
Engine Type: (DOHC) In-Line 4-Cylinder with Single Scroll MHI TD03 Turbo and Internal Wastegate
Boost Pressure: 14.5 psi
Displacement: 1,496 cc (91.3 cu in) Direct Injection
Bore and Stroke: 73.0 mm x 89.4 mm
Compression: 10.6:1
Power: 174 HP @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 162 lb·ft @ 1700-5500 rpm
Redline: 7000 rpm

1.8 vs 1.5T?
SOHC vs DOHC
non-turbo vs turbo
PGM-FI vs Direct Injection

The physical size of the 1.5T is identical to the Jazz/City L15A7, except material used and technologies are diff
which is why the NVH characters of both L engine is sounds similar (according to my friend)
If the turbo gone....it will be identical to L15B1
the Direct Injection version, used in other place except malaysia....

Ahhhh... I see.. Hehe.. Misunderstood. Seems all this small issues stem from ckd quality issue... Rattling, water leaking... Hope all this can be resolved soon. I'm a bit worried too as civic is in my consideration. Don't want to spend so much time in SC.
*
minor parts is becoming a norm for ckd....
if u can ignore...all good...if u can't...yea maybe few days to a week... when u need to drop by...

for sure its better than months your car stuck at somewhere waiting for diagnose and replacement...

It's true that no car is perfect. There are bound to be defects here and there.

I like to go look at LYN forum and compare the various car threads and read what the owners say. On some car threads, the owners have a lot more problems whereas on some other car threads, there aren't that many problems. Then we can get a feel as to what the build quality of the car is like. Whereas some car threads are just not active, possibly because that particular car just don't have much sales.
*
Exactly...
No car is perfect and when look at how our CKD working, u can hardly avoid any minor issue around
My major concern is always about support from the manufacturer, and whether those major issue is isolated cases, or becoming a norm.
I ditch my k3 because of that
And as of now no major concern yet from civic, hopefully everything good n minor until the day of goodbye

Good Morning .

Since civic 1.5 is coming with 2 different head cam. Would like to understand what is the difference between DOHC vs SOHC ? which is the best and what is the benefit of it ?

1.5 has only DOHC
1.8 is SOHC

have a read here what is different here

I'm also looking for same answer but google image not giving what we needed. Maybe better chance asking pictures from our LYN biggrin.gif . But what I noticed is for the headlight the internal structure is different between TCP and TC. TCP one is in wave form like this and TC like this or you can see andyshim89 few post earlier.

So white body with black modulo kits, yay or nay?

*
Internal of course diff....but the external structure is the same...
so u need to replace the whole module if u swap

Any idea whether this thing is Plug n Play? Try install on Civic
*
I seen somewhere in foreign Honda site
They sell it as optional package by adding $1000
I would guess it is possible to add on, provided we have the ability to source the parts, and have the right skill to install it properly.
I don't think it will available below 5k add-on for us here if it does available here

Hi,

Good morning folks!!

I am getting my 1.8s soon and would like to wrap the car with leather for all the fabric parts (door panel, armrest,etc) EXCEPT the fabric seats. The fabric seats are good for me smile.gif

May I know if the leather wrapping will affect the deployment of the air bags?
The SA have quoted me RM 1,200 (most probably china oem brand). Is this ok?

Please advise.

Thank you smile.gif

my friend who also 1.8, haven did, but already asked outside, for lesser figure than this (<1k)

Wow bro, can pm contact?
The info from my SA is that the side air bag is from the seats.
I have no intention to wrap the seats, juz the panels and the arm rest.

As usual, kena warning aka threaten yada yada warranty void.
I plan to install lock pedal as well, but without connected to the car circuit.

Just wondering what SC will argue when the time i need to claim my warranty. Lolz
*
It's carbi deco
500-600 the last time he asked
Just door armrest panel those area, n the center console.
Seat not covered
All those don touch any other wiring just panel, shd b fine. Unless their workmanship issue

Is raytech a good brand? Heard about the name but never heard about any feedback from users. Preciously used geoshield, can say 70% satisfied.

Raytech quite ok.
If u wan trusted workmanship, head to the HQ near Seri Kembangan. I have my wife myvi (3yr+), and my previous k3(~2yr when sold) all by Raytech.
No issue up to today
My civic done with the same but from other branch, had 1 door with bubble due to 1 of poor staff
Head back n they get it replaced by another staff.
