Hi all

Did u guys change your fuel strainer + fuel retainer at 80k service? It’s inside the service maintenance schedule in honda website.

My car is 4 years (80k service mileage), but my actual mileage is only 32k.

Feels like no need since very low mileage? I read this thing it to prevent high fuel consumption, which i think my car FC is still good
*
my car 5 year and 8 month...mileage 65xxx km, not yet change the fuel retainer and the engine belt...

So use a cleaner fuel like BHP and Caltex will save changing the fuel filter or not?
*
I'm using ron97 most of the time, sometime will use ron100, vpower racing and also use AMSOIL P.i. Performance Improver Gasoline Additive twice a year for my ride...
i can say my FC for my almost 6 years old GM6 efficiently still the same when compare to the year 2014 april when i first took my car.

But i still will replace my fuel strainer when my car reach 6 years ~ 7 year old.

I changed mine around 100k km. Dunno 6 years or so. Changed outside. The part is like 200 ++. Labour another 60-80

The theory is, the dirtier or clogged your fuel filter, the harder your fuel pump need to work and your fuel pump has higher tendency to break.

I didnt manage to see the condition of the replaced fuel filter

Can you feel the different after you changed your fuel filter ?

Tip for those using can A/C foam cleaners like this
[attachmentid=10389670]

Apparently, 1 can isn't enough to clean the A/C  if you were to follow the youtube guides. I am guessing our fan blower is quite big so to fill in the entire filter cavity takes quite an amount. To clean out all the venting outlets (fan blower, side blowers, central blowers, windscreen vents) will need 2 cans at least.
*
Never service my A/C.. .will DIY myself soon before CNY...
thanks for the info... 2 cans needed.

Unstable during idle? I thought suppose to fix rough idle? Thats why u do it in the first place?

I jusy notice it has highet rpm during startup. After engine warm, the lights off, its smooth.

I do throttle body clean because my car jerk for awhile everytime i stop at traffic light or idle....

After cleaned... no more this jerk problem....

But now rpm quite high.....

When I diy cleaned TB of previous cars, the rpm was always unstable after the first engine start. It returned to normal after a short drive.

good to hear that.!  thumbup.gif
in the beginning they ask me to do machine relearning. i was a bit skeptical. as many DIY dont even do that and didnt report such issue.
thanks for sharing your experience!

in fact. let me rephrase my previous statement.
after my cleaning. when car just started in morning. idle is fine. but if i dont wait till the engine warm light off, if i put to D, the RPM is quite high. until it warm up.
so if i idle all the way, then only start driving. RPM not high.

but i just realize now it doesnt do it anymore. all good.
*
Wao, you really lucky..

my case the rpm jump from 800rpm to 1300rpm range during idle with aircond on.
Now even with aircond on and idle.. rpm in between 700rpm to 900rpm...

Any suitable stocks for 2014 V spec? Also do you stock those reverse sensor eye? (the 4 eye version).
This reminds of me my 2006 Myvi first gen, the ECU was faulty. Eventually had to replace the ECU, 2k+

The idle rev when aircond kicks goes up to 1.8k rpm  sweat.gif when I balance my clutch at slope, the car eventually will move forward LOL. Damn stress.
*
Ya, dangerous.. before my rpm go unstable, my gear was in D and without press the pedal.. normally the car will move very slow....

But for my current case, while in D gear, suddenly rpm go above 1000rpm without press the gas pedal.. the car suddenly forward faster.... almost hit someone car infront of me while i'm search for a parking slot... bangwall.gif

Lucky today i able to solve my rpm problem before CNY...

Nevermind. I agreed to it because he is a "honda specialist". Afterall, i chose his workshop because of his expertise, right? Takan nak go against his expert advice.

So anyway, it was bullshit.

After he finished pouring all 3.5L, there was no overflow at all. He insisted this proves its not enough. So, i agreed to purchase another 1L from him. He add just a small amount and fluid started to overflow already. To prove his point he continued to pour the fluid and let it overflow to the basin. Probably to make me feel like i was getting my money's worth for the 1L, he said that experts usually let it overflow and top up some more to clear old oil. I honestly felt like an idiot agreeing to buy the additional 1 L.

Needless to say, thats the last time i will be going to his workshop.

3.5L is more than enough....

That on your City? How does it feel compared to stock?
*
Can adjust softer or harder than stock absorber.
Got 16 step.
I adjusted to 10 step for front and 12 step for rear, I match this absorber with eibach spring, stiff rings, front strut bar, rear antiroll bar, rear lower bar, rear orsen buffer, 15" advanti rims with PS3 195 55 15 and hardrace absorber link. My ride now is more to stiff side.. hahahaha but I'm ok with this setting.

This absorber is made for standard spring, but also can use for sport spring as stated at TEIN official website.

I see... thats a lot of suspension mods. Did you lower the ride height as well? I feel City height is too high, can see a huge gap above the wheels in wheel arch. But at same time I no longer worried going over high bumps (my area got lotsa these). How does ur car feel then going over bumps?
*
Yup, I lowered my ride height with sports spring..
Lowered with eibach spring with will not too low... don't worry.

With all my mod above..when I going over bump...I must slow down alot compare to my stock suspension last time...

But if your suspension still stock .... don't worry if just changed to eibach spring and this twin absorber.
