That is for the facelift.

Aircon compressor dying and squeaky sound is normal.. those are the wear and tear.
But quoted RM4k for replacement is a bit too much.

I don't know about others, but I personally recommend you to go to any local workshop and get your aircon compressor replaced. New one (I can't remember much about the price) should not cost you more than RM1.5k (I think!), recon should be less than that.

I got the squeaky sound before, seriously irritating. Went to Honda of course they ask to change the entire thing.
Then I researched and went to this spare part shop, ask them to replace the aircon compressor to solve the issue but the shop (well they're honest) declined it (although they have sparepart) because they discussed the issue with me and the thing I really want is for the squeaky part to go away. They can't promise or confirm by changing aircon compressor it would solve the issue. So they asked me to check for another workshop recommendation instead.

In the end, my brother called his personal mechanic to come and see my car. He tighten a screw and noise was GONE!
Said belt screw was loose. I told him need to change aircon compressor? He said no need if I still feel it's cold.
Just use until no cold air come out then only change.

So... you might wanna check on that..

That's good advice neato4u.

Is that belt pulley screw you're talking about?

My Y2003 I-DSI got squeaky noise also but only during wet rainy days morning cold startup, no noise after on the road warm up, it's just the wet belt & pulleys & nothing to worry about, compressor is still original & running strong & cold.

which engine oil brand will you guys recommended for 2006 honda city vtec? for semi 7000 km.
normally i use petronas semi... now which to change others brands. thx

Hi all,

I am new here. I plan to buy used Honda City iDSI 2007 from my relative. Accident free, well maintenance and low mileage 40500km. Is it a good deal? I'm worry about the CVT gearbox problem.

If well maintenance (ensure CVT oil not ATF oil etc), could the gearbox has longer lifespan than 160km? (average life I found from Internet)
Does anyone with CVT that have exceeded 200km w/o any gearbox problem? I plan to drive the car for another 5 years.
What's market price for this car?

Thanks.

hi guys, i heard the honda city S is out of production dy.

Are there a lot of difference, the S & E?

anyone know how much honda city 2009 tail lamp price? I need to replace due to accident...
if anyone selling, please let me know..

So many ppl ask question and no one answer. Ok let me start. My honda city is year 2005 and running at 200k km, So far no problem at all on my gearbox. How do I maintaince it? I change CVT gear oil only at Honda Service Center. 2 service change once. Means one time normal service at 5000km and the next service i already change the gear oil. To play safe than be sorry.

This is very common issue for Honda City where the steering turn more than expected. It's dangerous too when things like this happen. So far, touchwood i didnt encounter such problem b4. Yes, this was due to steerling rack problem and cost for changing the whole rack will cost quite a boom. If possible you may try to ask around mechanic who does repair instead on changing the whole rack.

Last i heard one my teamcity forum did a change was on year 2008 if i am not mistaken. It cost around RM200 +

Change to lightened crank pulley and K&N open pod filter. Exhaust part can change straight flow muffler or decat 4-2-1 header. Reduce rim size maybe?. Last but not list, use lighter engine oil such as 5W 30. If got money to burn, engine transplant.
