The plastic top cover is just mainly for aesthetic use only (and serve a little bit towards reducing the engine noise); and bottom one mainly for aerodynamic purposes. You can live without it and the car would still work fine.

What happened that cause you the need to replace these 2 items? Even moderate crash also unlikely to damage these 2 parts.

Here's the fact about misfueling diesel into your petrol driven car. Diesel is heavier than petrol, meaning petrol will be floating above it. So when the fuel pump picks up fuel from bottom, it will suck up the diesel first. You will pretty much face the after effect almost immediately after trying to restart the engine.

Vice versa, if misfueled petrol into diesel car, still got hope, as the petrol will float above the diesel. So the pump will still pick up diesel, just that need to keep the tank above half and constantly top up with diesel until the petrol fully evaporates. Or top up with certain fuel system cleaners which has additives to allow the diesel and petrol to dissolve into each other.

Try another service centre.

Maybe...just maybe good for transmission fluid change....

Another wrong CVT fluid fiasco in the making

taikor dares

Can cerita on this?

You more experience into cars and longer in online forums mah...i'm just merely a korean fanboi remember

See, your answer so concise and straight to the point, power of experience

Once registered to your name, no way of rejecting unless very blatant fault (wrong colour/wrong trim line/rusting/obvious dents, etc)

Can only insist on rectification work.

The only time can outrightly reject is when the allotted car to you arrived at the SC and the sales adviser is kind enough to inform you to come for inspection before proceeding to registration at JPJ.

for my purchase, the SA proactively reach out to me when the car was delivered at premise to view the car and even invited me for a short test drive around the compound before registration.

What i want to emphasize is that, if the car is registered in JPJ, it is pretty much considered a done deal. The rectification works may not end up to your satisfaction, but it is already your car and you have to accept it.

The only recourse on your side is the loan, as the loaned amount will only be fully disbursed to the dealer after you sign receive. But still, you can't hold on to this leash for long.

Can only conclude that either honda is really screwing up the final quality touches and just sign off the cars out of the plant as long as can drive or that we as consumers are expecting much more than before.

er.....isn't type r manual, how come got "P" gear wan?

Not only honda, but most of the brands (if not all) are using water based paint. Environmental/sustainability bragging rights

yeah....no thanks to the "singapore proximity" premium...

Give it a month for the seals to fully settle in, usually won't recur after 2 months.

Only then bring it to SC. My new car also like that for the 1st month, it vanishes later on.

To be exact, the turbocharger starts spinning the moment engine is started and exhaust starts producing. Just that the boost isn't much and not at the surgeline (the rated sweetspot for effective boost). What you see in the spec sheet is the peak torque produced at which rev range.

Some BMW engines also have sequential typre.....but now mostly go parallel twin turbo or just a good big twinscroll....

If want ultimate protection, don't off engine, let the engine oil constantly be circulating under pressure, the parts won't come in contact.....

Amsoil signature synthetic series goes up to 25,000 miles....

If you're spending that much money on accessories, please at least consider these 2 for best bang for buck :
1) lighten aftermarket alloy rims : lighter means = lesser spinning mess = lesser fuel consumption on the road = slightly improved acceleration
Just don't go overboard by more than 1 inch increase width and diameter wise.

2) better tyres : gives you the added assurance for on road contact and an extra margin edge when emergency hard maneuvers are required. Even when the tyres loss grip, grip can be regained much earlier/faster. Yes, this car has stability control but it is limited by tyre performance. Shitty tyre with stability control kicking in still = skid

Whatever use for your car, a proper lightweight rim will see benefit, fuel consumption will definitely see a noticeable (i won't say significant) improvement.

regardless, enjoy your ride

Already an above average choice, since no start stop feature in this car.

4.5 - 5 years is a little nuts to us as most don't expect more than 2 years, and 3 years consider kind of rare. Wow....your beyond that is simply amazing.

Do you mind sharing your driving patterns and do you use a battery maintenance charger?

Fuh....either your cars' alternator damn power (lemon unit, but in a good way); or varta battery damn good

The difference between 215/45/18 and 225/45/18 is not significant, just get 225/45/18 as this size has more choices.

215/45/18 is just for lancer and mazda3, quite odd size and more expensive.

harrr....2km/h small fry lar.....myvi bombing down at 160km/h, 2km/h considered what??

My personal opinion, not science or data based, just my hunch, road surface affect the bearing more than revolutions. I think large shocks can degrade the bearing harsher and faster.

Comfort wise, very little tangible difference actually...

Anyway, great choice for this car instead of the mazda, Happy driving

If scared AES, go middle lane, and just slow down to speed limit or lower. Although i once kena police warning (that time AES only beginning implementation). They say AES system give grace allowance up to 10km/h. That was few years back then, so whether this grace allowance still applicable, i'm not sure, but logically should still be there. If not, many kena saman extremely tak puas hati if go over by 2-3km/h. Mana tau some poor folk, pump air a little too much, tyre circumference increase just that tiny bit, but kena AES pulak...

On the car choice, most important is your own satisfaction, not forumers. At the end of the day, you're driving it, you're maintaining it, you're paying the loan

But quite curious to know, from your perspective, how was the brake pedal feel compared to the mazda?
