Right. Some 4S center even outsource the paint job to external.

Exactly. And I wish to highlight that the risk is there unless the SC gives written approval, which I doubt they will. Even then, other SC may not honour it, or you might face problem if the warranty claim needs to be approved by HM.
You wrote warranty not affected because changing the filter is an easy job. This is misleading, as changing engine oil is also an easy job, which no doubt you agree will void warranty.
*
I doubt any SC will ever give you a written approval.
Most of them operate based on goodwill and common sense. That said some of them can be quite unreasonable.
To claim that changing filter will cause damage to the HVAC system is pure illogical, SC will lose the case in consumer court 10 out of 10. But this is Malaysia...so there’s always a risk.

You contradicted yourself with the 10 out of 10 and this being Msia. So, is it 10 out of 10, or not?

I wouldn't give any written approval if i were them.

Using your analogy, it is illogical to void engine warranty because we changed engine oil outside, more so since we choose the best oil money can buy.

In any case, it's not so much to changing filter ourselves. It's more to their system *not* showing you changed the filter at required interval.
*
read again.
10 out of 10 the case will be thrown out, but being in malaysia it operates in a different way.
I never say using other engine oil wouldn't void your warranty, not in Malaysia, that's just your fantasy. Some countries do allow that as long as according to car maker's spec or better.

Anyway, my whole point is, to void or not to void the warranty is Honda's call. You can argue all you want. If they want to layan you, they layan.

Read, re-read,... Still cannot figure out if you will win 10/10 in court.
Are you saying court will throw out the case 10/10 if you initiate a court case - meaning you cannot win, or you sure win?

I'm certainly not arguing with anyone, neither was I the one who suggested DIY-ing aircon filter will not void warranty.
He suggested filter changing is a simple job and he will laugh if warranty is affected by that.
If you read carefully what I wrote, the message is "just because it's a simple job does not mean HM won't void warranty". I even gave example of changing engine oil (which is a simple job but is guaranteed to get your warranty void).

I think we both agree that it's not so much of what you and I think. Rather, it's what HM think, that determines our warranty status.

Cheers.

Just like I said before, this thing super cheap.
My friend won during case court with one of SC. SC replace the items for free.

cheers. what I meant was, if consumer files a complaint, normally no ppl will layan.
However, seems like Nordingh's friend has experience otherwise, so situation is not so bleak after all. thumbup.gif

Indeed. Alas, there's a Small Claim Tribunal which we the little people can seek help.
Back to the a/c filter, much as I hate to let SC do such a simple job, I look at the bigger picture. To file a case in tribunal will take up more time and effort compared to forking out the money for filter at SC.
Of course, others are free to disagree.
*
For me, it doesn’t worth the hassle to go tribunal unless it’s engine, gearbox etc.
But I change own filter because the carbon Bosch filter is better quality than honda original. 😛

Apparently the heavier rear (becoz of hybrid battery) and larger wheels makes it a more stable car at high speeds compared to petrol versions. The DCT is also more responsive to acceleration as compared to CVT. The CVT is a real drag, even a Viva can accelerate faster than me.
*
hybrid is also heavier and have a upgraded front suspension.

Hi all, thought of changing my wiper blades on my FL city, the stock wiper doesn't seem to wipe that well and always leave water streak marks.

What is the size for each side? And any recommended brands?

I don't need to use original Honda right.

Piaa Aero vogue FTW...mine last 3years parking under hot sun at work everyday

Yes. Dont touch it! Just rinse with water is good enough, unless got birdshit hard stick onto windscreen. Then no choice have to remove and reapply. I only use for sidemirror glass and it does work but when my waifu unknowingly wash the glass with soap then wipe with cloth, all the coating effect is gone.
*
But after applying glaco, it left white streaks when turn on the wiper.

Glaco can last 6months, I think.

Yeah, they only do checks & replacements on weekdays. Its the reason why I wasted 3 annual leaves just to rectify my rear axle sound problem.

So lucky, I spent 7trips to get engine mounting noise fixed.

Wow, I would have flip table if I had to go back that many times. Or at least change SC if that SC didn't do a satisfactory job. Honda got compensate you for all that times you need to return?
*
Haha, no unfortunately...
2 trips because SC misdiagnosed and change wrong parts, but instead I get a new steering rack and lower link arm

1 trip technician say no trouble found, I had to test drive with him to show him the noise again

2 trips SC just leave my car there for 2 weeks without doing anything (because technician A didn’t handover properly to technician B who replaced him).

2 trips to finally get the engine mounting replaced

😔

I dont provide conversion harness for fl install pre-fl v spec hu, you need to get from other  smile.gif

the reason is coz the tweeter size does not fit for the original one  laugh.gif

But 1inch tweeter is quite standard,
If it can fit into the triangle cover, surely it can fit into the door panel 😛
I fit mine into the door panel, but have to remove the aftermarket tweeter from its shell first.

thanks for the info bro! that sounds tempting to me smile.gif

i am wondering if put a full range 2" tweeter at front (not require amp) + 6.5' mid bass speaker at door panel ori hole, would that be better setup?

something like:
Front Tweeter : Adams Digital AD225
Door speaker : NT Power NT-B62 - 6.5 inch 2-Way Coaxial Speaker (280W)

Not sure if this require amplifier for the 6.5'?

And wonder if there are enough space for under seat woofer? under seat seems like not much space eh? can't even slide in a bag to under seat

sweat sweat... am really noob in car audio tongue.gif appreciate all opinions and comments

Driver side can fit in under seat subwoofer from alpine and pioneer, no problem.
I installed alpine on my car.

I see. I ask mainly its for protection against bird poo. Sometimes I work til late nights and I didn't realise got bird poo until few days later. Now on top my bonnet got a 10sen mark where the poo had eaten into my clearcoat. Any way to fix that spot?

Sadly glass coating also cannot protect my car paint from bird poo....😑
