Yeah, mine also follow recommended gearbox oil change, never skip. Mileage wasn't that high, only 57k km. Used 8 years, then kena this issue.

It just leaves me feeling like this is all one big scam by the automobile industry. Sell you a car where after a number of years, you need to replace your gearbox. Bought the car for around RM45k. If replace original gearbox RM10k, that's 20% of your car value right there. Even if overhaul around RM4k, that's still 10%.

My mum's car is Honda City 2018 model. Also CVT. This leaves me wondering now how long before her gearbox also need to go for repair.

DCT dry clutch, hopefully no issue. The 1st DCT oil change at 160k km by Honda Malaysia if follows the book. Afraid for the GB condition then. inb4 saw mostly CVT gb need repair at GB workshop followed by DCT - dry clutch (especially the base VW model)

all this talk about cvt getting me scared

are there any telltale signs that my cvt is going to grenade itself? i bought it used so idk how its supposed to feel when new.

from when i got it till now havent change cvt fluids. serviced once in sc when i got the car. now contemplating servicing outside since aready >5 years.

Hi all.

I am driving Iriz 1.6 2014.

My car having ride quality issues. It doesn’t seem like it absorbs much especially rough and small bumps. It almost feels like the ride quality is out driving in KL roads. The rear is absolutely horrendous and will lift my passengers from the seats when the car jolts on bumps as if I am using sport springs.

It basically feels like the absorption travel is very short and rides on bump stops instead. It’s very very rough.
I already changed all new absorbers. They are all genuine proton parts with correct part numbers to match 2014 models. I also replaced the springs to new original springs.

But the issues are here to stay and I’m honestly at lost on what else should be done to rectify the really rough ride quality.

My tyres are relatively new, continental ultracontact 7 with 195/55/15 profile. 215kpa on the front and 190kpa on the rear. So tyre and pressure should be no issue.

Before I changed all my absorbers, one workshop took a good look at my rear absorber and said this is persona vvt absorbers and not iriz. He added that my rear bump stop is wrong. So he proceeded to cut some part of my bump stops and to my surprise, it works. The rear end is finally soft and able to rebounce softly. But it only lasted for days before the bad ride quality comes back.

By right, it should be fixed when I changed all mu absorbers, bump stops and even spring but it doesn’t. It is so terrible that I don’t really enjoy driving it. Any thoughts?

pump while hot ka

next time i try

overall.. but the rear is significantly worse

the car is basically rides on bump stops like the chassis never settle

Seems like u hv changed most bushes. Have u also changed the rear axle bush? Most of the time, this bush is overlooked.
