Mouse bite? Anyway if really not your fault (no modification done etc), then I'd try to push for warranty coverage. If you have done some modification, depends on SC I guess... Anyway, 1.8K to replace is ok, considering that the VW Golf Engine Wire Harness replacement went viral a few years ago coz it costs RM52k if I remember correctly...

-edit-
Found it! https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3953475 

Bitten by Mickey Mouse? 

If,

Truly a mouse bite, then technically [ thru d fine print ] Honda does not need to honor the warranty..
I suggest you ask the help of ur SA tat sold u d car - l find they have some clout in talking abt warranty..

You must have either :

1.had food in your car, or
2.parked near a dumpster

Anyway, if it's bitten by mickey, then no warranty claim. Bye bye rm1. 8k unfortunately.

Just noticed, it's not an isolated case... http://www.civicx.com/threads/mouse-chewed-my-harness.6931/

one of the solution? http://www.civicx.com/threads/mouse-blocker.3958/

Anyone bought 1.8 recently? My friend drive 1.8 & he got tilt sensor & alarm sensor, wonder why Honda remove it from 1.5TC   

So all the pieces are in place, looking at the glossy black it’s gonna be a swirl magnet. Gonna coat it first before install 😅

Morning Sifus, my civic has just touched 2 years old since December 2018. I am looking to re-apply few layer of coating on my car. Do you have any nice recommendation?

Note: i have applied coating on the day i got my car. I think the coating should have completely gone. hahaha.

The warranty is 5 years correct?

Mine 10-11 months old changed a new one too. But i directly change from outside. Cheaper and faster.

As mcchin said steering seems almost everyone have this issue. Just send to SC and if they claim no issue just test to show infront of them much better.
