so they remove the front windscreen, change the rubber parts, mounting clips?

No need remove windscreen, only that one trim I highlighted ,remove and refit (at least twice)

ok, full speed test then, 150kmh check.

I remember a long time ago, sent to Honda Sg Long Kajang 4S, as the passenger side mirror vibrated at high speed. The counter SA told me, you are not supposed to drive fast. I argue and ask to see the manager, then go straight to road testing with their technician, verified. At the counter, straight informed SC will order a new passenger side mirror all in under warranty and needs +3 days after the part arrives for repainting.

all are FOC.

As I previously posted, fixed, tested, all good

your are not suppose to drive fast? its better for them to tell you shouldnt by Honda car la...what an excuse

Anyone have the idea about CRV RS gearbox? looking at the service maintenance table at honda website, we will have to change the HEVF Fluid + Drain Plug Washer at 150K km. based on my searching, its a honda electric vehicle fluid

is it really an oil for gear box or for motor? my SA propose to change the oil during next service 60K as she worry it might lead to some "gearbox" issue. seems like 150K is to late for gearbox oil change. shes quite surprise to know that oil will only be changed at 150K, based on her experience with HRV-RS

on the positive side, i have no issue changing the oil. at least i know the motor is being taken care of. just wonder is it really a gb or its for the motor. and what do u think about having the oil changed earlier?

Its transmission oil, not really gearbox oil. RS has not gearbox. It has what is call e-CVT (not a real CVT but one that allow layman to be familiar with the term like it is a electronic CVT gearbox which it is not in reality) that is technically built into the motor units.

From what I learn, HEVF will not only lubricate the gears and clutch within the motorized unit, it actually also lubricate and and insulate the motor windings. So technically HEVF is tied to the life of your motors, clutches and gear.

IMO, I would prefer to change it at 70k to 80K mileage. The fluids pricing is not high if you compare to the wear and tear of your e-CVT components.
For me, the weak points in terms of maintenance of eCVT is their clutches that can wear our albeit theoretically at over 300k mileage.

Why weak points is becoz from what I found out, there is no changes of clutches if it ever wear out. You got to change the entire e-CVT unit....yes, that is including the dual motors, etc that cost tens of thousand. So the fluid is important to minimize the wear of clutches as well. As fresh fluids protect longevity of your e-CVT motors, clutches and gear (yes, that single gear setup), why not change it early. 150K tends to drag that to max and that IMO, is cost saving but not really optimal if you want long life for your motors and clutches.

Note : btw, HRV-RS and City RS Hybrids is not using HeVF but using the old style ATF-DW1 auto transmission oil. Again, from what I learn, both this 1.5cc hybrids models ATF only lubricate the gear and clutches but not the motor. I guess Honda deemed 1.5cc can run without HeVF lubrication unlike Civic and CRV models that runs at higher power, hotter, etc.

So HRV and City eCVT is NOT exactly the same as their big brothers Civic and CRV eCVT units. I would term HRV and City as compact dry motors and Civic and CRV as standard size partially wet motors.

Not sure if the info is right but I am having City RS hybrid and found out they are using ATF-DW instead of HeVF thus doing some research on it to see the difference. It is a shock as I always tot Civic and CRV besides having 2 clutches and higher cc are almost the same setup as HRV and CRV e-CVT. There is more difference inside than we think. So the SA likely also don't know HRV RS uses ATF and CRV uses HeVF that are not the same in what they lubricate but I still prefer to change the fluid at 70-80k, it is not expensive and fresh fluid is always good for the clutches, gear and bearing and in CRV case, the motors. Others might differs in opinion for this.

thanks bro for your feedback. quite a lot of info for me to absorb. but yes, looks like will do the oil change at 60K later.

Hello, I plan to get E Variant after reading thru this thread and some research.

My previous car was Iswara, then Honda CRZ, now 2nd kid coming I need to say goodbye to my Z already...

Wife will want to try if she need 360 cam due to size but we doubt we will need that.

I have some questions need advices.

1. We plan to install running board, any shop recommendation or review on the durability? My area is Ara Damansara so will be good for nearby workshop

2. I am interest to change the rim to black one, will you recommend me to change to the RS stock rim for resonator feature? I saw people selling at 1.9k but I do not see resonator in photo, anyone see the resonator before? Or I rather just paint my stock rim to black?

3. My regular SC is HZN Glenmarie as it is nearest to me and I saw it has bad name here, mind to share more? my current sales offer also at Glenmarie, anyone has recommendation for 2nd option?

4. any recommendation for new car coating? my current offer by 7autospa is RM1,580 for 3 layers 10H Spray Coating, window, interior and 1 free maintainence.


Thanks in advance.

national speed limit is good liability waiver for most brands.

it's an awfully convenient loophole/grey area.

no tape required when an official fix by Honda is completed by just moving the trim a bit.

interesting info you brought up!
HRV https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2849
lol mentioned "ATF"
City https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2497
transmission
City hatch https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2646
also transmission

i will purposely request an earlier service on the HRV EHEV Hybrid just to find out
https://www.honda.com.my/manuals/423N06220_web.pdf
it looks like it is ATF for all EHEV models except the 2 litres Atkinson cycle direct injection engines, and runs on higher EV motor output. that's only the Civic and CRV currently.
their HEVF are much more expensive too, more than double price from the schedule - 7x vs 16x
Civic https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2756
CRV https://www.honda.com.my/doc/maintenance/2565

seems almost like previous-gen HRV hybrid with DCT and City Hybrid with DCT where both 1st DCT oil change at 150k km HRV hybrid and 160k km City Hyrbid. Thats for dry clutch gearbox by Honda. If im the owner, will opt for 50k km 1st change and with 40k km interval next.

In the end, You changed from HRV to CRV?

Just said I want to drive my car fast at Sepang for track day. During this time, I expect my car to reach the speed / performance as stated in the car brochure/manual.

Unfortunately doing so you can expect to fully void your warranty

Why?

Benefit of the doubt you're not trolling/sarcastic and really dunno

well..that make sense why my SA keep on saying CRV RS got gearbox based on her experience with HRV-RS
