Wah, upgrading kah? http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=809200&hl= I also thinking of upgrading to mpv, but my wallet's current economy is not so good, have to be patient loh.. So far, after 3 years of owning a CITY, my CT still feel solid, no major problem. Hardly hear any weird sound. Mine just clocked 96k. And so far, this is what CT cost me: 1) Rear bearing, left n right, coz i'm using 17". But now i think of downgrade to 16" or just using 15" default rim. 2) Immobilizer button including its wire, housing. 3) Left side mirror, hit by a bus, d@mn it.. ahahahaha..  4) Dry battery. So far so good, very good investment i would say.. |

raya balik kampung time last week, 1st time for my city to go long distance.
push until 160 still feel solid. hehe. cruising up hill (after Jelapang Toll) is a breeze using manual 7 speed mode. but cannot go more, loaded with luggage and 4 ppl inside. plus, a lot of traffic. FC wise: from KL to Bkt Mertajam slightly more than 1/2 tank.. This post has been edited by apisgogo: Oct 8 2008, 02:02 PM |

Talking bout FC, normally on 37L maxium 90% city drive i get 480km. Around 13km/l. But when raya, 90% highway i get 662km. That is freaking 18km/l! Nice. KL-MLK-JB-MLK. One ful tank.

The wind noise become noticeable when you reach 80kmph. Not to mention that CVT started to scream at that speed too. Without radio, CITY is not a car you wanna drive above 75kmph.

Push start button = start witrhout key la.. But it's better to install it and kept the original wiring to the normal ignition. Safety mah, mana tau ini push start button rosak, then canot start ur car mah die.

Hi everybody.. i owned my city-vtec in this year, not sure it considers 4th generation or 4.5. haha...
Got question for my Audio system. From the forum i can see this: CD-Player: Kenwood 50Wx4 CD-MP3 Player | Blaupunkt Miami Beach (if i'm not mistaken) 50Wx4 CD Player I don't think my cd player is Kenwood as my one is mounted in the dashboard.

xuanru, I am not sure what is the current HU provided now by City but only know it's a 1 Din Player with MP3 & WMA Compatible for IDSI and Integrated Audio for Vtec. Anyone care to enlighten me the brand?

er.. i wonder, is the 3rd gen city REALLY 3rd gen or 4th gen? I lookup in wiki and it seems like it's marked as 4th gen..
Anyway.. Using the thread specification - i have a 3rd gen city.. and it's driving me mad now.. First i got this gear hickup thing - when driving uphill or trying to overtake someone by flooring - it jerks.. I changed CVTF already and flushed but still the same issue. How much does it cost again to change gearbox? Any alternatives to solve this? Second, the steering wheel sometimes feel stuck.. no it's real stuck.. It's very irritating especially if you have passangers onboard! ARGH! Imagine when you're cruising at 90 - 110km/h at highways and want to do a tiny-bit small turn just to align the car straight.. slight turn to the left.. sterring wheel doesn't move.. stuck feeling, turn a bit harder then the whole car shake as it unstuck itself! Then people wonder if i can drive properly or not. IT'S THE DAMN CAR! I don't know what's wrong with it. One of my colleague own the same 2003 model (different color) - and he too face the same issue until he's fed up with it. Both of us changed tires (i changed twice!), did alignments, balancing, but none of it solved the issue. Freakin @hit... You guys think i can get back to Honda and get them to fix this for free?? I've always dreamt of driving (well owning) a Honda before.. but after owning one, it's a nightmare! A total loss! CRAP don buy 3rd gen Honda City 2nd hand even if they give to you for free!!! Anyone had faced this issues before and got it resolved? I don't want to pay Honda SC for notrhing if i go there and just pay for them to 'look' at the car wihout solving it.. They did it before, claimed ok but after a day then the issue got back (i think they didn't fix anything.. just that the car mood was good and it all went ok for a moment before it messes up again). ARGH I'm so frustrated! @#!@$!%!%!!!!!  |

neato4u, the gearbox is RM27k, if u really want to change the gearbox, better use the 27k for new car down payment. unless u manage to find a 2nd hand in chop shop.
regarding the gear jerking issue, me too got this problem recently at 55k km. the SC did some computer calibrating then it's ok for 1 week. perhaps it's time to change my gb oil.. well, u can try bring ur car to another SC. steering wise, i have no problem. my car is also the 3rd gen and 2nd hand car for me, the steering is too light, until i turn it until it bounced back the light indicator at the gear knob (P,N,R,D,S) is not ON anymore. how much to change the light? or is it only some plug went loose? |

neato4u,
Yeah you should change your CVTF every 20,000km to be safe, Your case should be faulty steering rack, happened to quite a number of members in TeamCity as well. My wife i-DSI encountered the same problem changed it around 3rd year final month (lucky still under warranty), according to SA should cost around 1-2k. Expecting to trade in her City before CNY for new City E-spec, |

Hi!
I'm wondering if the Kenwood player can be replace easily with another player that I bought from shop? Or is it better if I bring it to an accessories shop to fix it? Is it as simple as pressing the RELEASE button, take out the head unit and put it the new one?  EDIT: Anyone know what is the price (cheapest) for a player (any brand) that have front AUX Input? Need that for my iPod player... Thanks! This post has been edited by stalkie: Jan 21 2009, 02:36 PM |

this is very subjective wan... it's up to you and the seller to come to an agreed price...
even though it's 71k km...try to get the service record from him...if he follows the service...the car should be ok... RM58k sounds like a pretty ok price... the most also u can try to nego RM1k or RM2k lower...haha... good luck...

Have a city at home now. Should be City 3G, equipped with bodykits (dun know from where) + spoiler.
Have a question here, is the driver unadjustable? Having problem sitting at the driver seat, its too high for me. Even my mother (who are not very tall) also complain. My head does touch the roof when I'm sitting inside. Glad city owner can share their thought on this. |

lately my city performance suffers a bit drop. Esp. on acceleration. its like i have to push a bit more to get the torque. (non like b4).
and i noticed FC also effected. before i can easily clock 15km/l, now only 13.7km/l also, rpm drop lower when i release the pedal. any idea why? my 35k service is coming. what should i ask the SA? lastly, previously, i always send my city to angkasa motor at jln ipoh. can i change sc?

Sure u can change sc but jes remember that the new sc wont have ur record. FYI, all the Honda sc does not link up. Means wat u done in Angkasa, other sc wont know wat u already did.
If u felt something different, maybe it was the ECU learning your driving habit. Normally if u drive normal say average speed of 60-70 like me, the performance will be a little sluggish. I recommend you to reset ECU and remember to recalibrate ur CVT too. |

Yeah, accept for 5G which is 2009. But Honda said their 3G is 2009 while 2G is our old city. Check in wiki.

i don't think it's possible because i've taken out the whole indash unit before andit looks like it's really integrated...so there's no way to chagne the HU while maintaining the original cover....

Kreech sound when moving or braking? If braking then kreech sound a little should be normal for brake pad. If moving, then prepare to change brake pad as the brake pad has worn out. What do u mean no light in mist button?For Honda warranty, i wont say u wont b ablee to get any claim if there is problem occured but chances to claim anything is very very low cause the previous owner doesn't have a straight record from Honda SC. Maintenance in Honda SC surely is much much higher cost than outside as their labout and parts are more expensive. Futhermore u need to make appointment and Saturday appointment is always near impossible if u doesnt book earlier. This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Apr 8 2009, 06:49 PM |

QUOTE(F1meteor @ Apr 9 2009, 05:30 AM) hey bro. First of all, that car isnt mine. Haha. How much i am not sure lor. But i heard they say scratch also wont peel off one. Not the normal sticker like scratches then the whole piece peel off. It;s those hard type sticker and even kena stone also wont chip off easily one. How far is true, not sure la..i like the sticketjob very much looks damn cool... it's sticker, will it get burnt? and if some1 scratch your car, will it peel off? how much does that cost u? on side note, my city is starting to give problems... engine sound is kinda loud even when idle... there's noise coming out from the belt.. don't know which belt.. mileage is just 65k power lost.. really can feel it.. it's very different from past few months dashboard starting to give noise when on bumpy road What noise is that? If it's really coming out from belt, our city only have one belt and that is fan belt. Our ori city belt model is Mitsuboi 5PK1144. Cost about RM70-Rm90 depending which SC u go. All SC price are different. Labour not included. U can get it outside from Bando belt and it will cost less than RM100 including labour charge. Engine sound rough and loud? Do u service regularly? Power loss? How bout try cleaning your throttle body? If it doesn't help, perharps u go reset and recalibrate ur ECU at Honda SC.. |

To be vey frank, the IDSI is more than sufficient if you're not into mods in the future.
It will save you heaps of money 'cos the FC is great. I've driven both IDSI and VTEC before driving the NHC. The IDSI is very frugal on fuel |

FC for Vtec and idsi....when u r driving in highways....its almost the same....plus...vtec can feel the power...i mean...when going up to slope...whereas idsi will suffer a bit....and interior wise vtec better....
let say...in city drive (traffic jams,etc etc)...vtec 13.5km/l (average only) idsi will be 14.5km/l (average only)...so not much diff in highways |

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, just got my honda city today
 1) Whats the smaller button for?? I know the big one is to lock/unlock. The smaller one is for alarm? I don't dare to press it in case its something else. 2) The 7 speed thing, how does it work?? 3) Does the car come with an auto lock function? LIke if I exit the car without locking, will it lock by itself? Thanks guys for any help |

How does it work? Simple, to use it, press 7 speed mode then try it yourself with + or - button. 1 for gear 1st gear, 2 for 2nd gear and so on. 3. The car wont autolock but it will arm the alarm. If your car is not lock, withing a minute, it will arm the alarm. The sound wont goes up but when u open the door, it will. U kenot start ur car engine until u have press the big button to disengage the alarm. This is call immobiliser. |

That is the benefit of 7 speed technology. Some ppl like it and some don;t as they thought of it as lack of power when flooring the pedal. and is there really a substantial diff or wad lol 7 speed manual is that u gain control each of the gear. Means u can downshift and upshift like a manual car. Simple as that. This post has been edited by adriankhoo153: Apr 22 2009, 10:26 AM |

Sent my city to service just now (normal service, 35k). The service personnel there recommend me to use semi-sync oil (top-up RM21). He said its better and can feel a bit difference. true?

Suddenly, the radio restarted and some lights on the dashboard came on (like when you start you car, the EPS light, the temp high temp low light) but it went off. Happened again a few times till I decided to turn the car completely off.Then I couldnt turn the car on, I couldnt on the emergency indicators, I couldnt lock or unlock the car with my remote, I could open manually and just exit the car without any alarm going on. I left the car for awhile, maybe 5 mins or so then when I came back I could lock and unlock the car with my remote, I could start everything again like normal. I even went for a short drive to try. At that point in time, I deduced it was the radio (cos the radio was givin probs, coming on when the engine was off etc) so I removed the face plate. But just now when I left the car to idle in P with brake on, it happened again. Now I cant start the car or do anything at all. ): Anyone knows? I moved the negative battery terminal a bit (is it meant to be movable?) and then i could start the car and everything again ): I checked my dad's car and the negative terminal is like screwed on so tight i cant even move it. So is it just a loose battery connection? This post has been edited by julnoel: May 2 2009, 01:17 PM |

lol julnoel.. true my car is a 80k one, but a 40k car can outrun a 80k ..
ah.. so sad..Anyway, man.. what's wrong with your car.. you must be scratching your head to have all these problems when you just bought it.. anyway, i suggest you go to a local workshop, tell them the issue, let them check the wirings for you. Or you could disconnect the battery, get some hot water (just a bit) and wet those negative and positive terminals. Some old battery got that white things that will disturb the current. Or if you really scared of local workshops who will charge you like there's no tomorrow.. get them to remove your radio ASAP. It could be the main culprit that's causing the 'short' and kacau your other electronic components. I would do that fast.. who knows, it might kacau other electrical components while you're driving (eg the EPS or whatever) and it could be VERY dangerous |

im afraid if i disconnect my battery tht the alarm comes on and i dont know how to override it (does anyone know??) the stock alarm i think. cobra one
im hoping and guessing its just a loose connection (i could push and pull the negative terminal connector) if opposed to the other cars at home which had it really stiff. i doubt its the radio cos i put it back on just now and it was working well..like normal..didnt cause any "restarts" but i noticed that when im idling..i hear a sound that comes on and off (like a fan). everytime that sound comes on then my lights will dim a little and brighten back up. but it doesnt affect the other electronics like the radio or the speedometer or anythin else |

QUOTE(julnoel @ May 3 2009, 01:14 PM) my battery is the new kind ( i think) there arent any openings, just a + and - terminal Does your battery connecters of both side get broken or cut when your mechanic tighten it for you?I guess it was just lose had the mechanic tighten it (didnt have the tools and was partially scared >.<) so now its okay hopefullyi guess if battery was weak then i would be able to sort of start the car (crank it a bit) but when the battery went dead yesterday i couldnt start at all..so i guess it was just a loose connection |

LOL? the lights, the engine, even the emergency signal. he had to push the car to the side and play with the terminals a bit, then the car was fine. so yes, loose connection i guess just that in the city, the engine didnt go off but kept on running. I guess thats some other component that keeps it running that was malfunctioning in the kancil. |

hey guys i just noticed City year 03 model the brakes are electronically controlled as well.. (or is it)?
I went for a car wash yesterday and the guys there told me to move the car in front a bit. So i went in the car, engine was off, i turned the keys (engine still off) then switched to N gear. There was a bit of downhill so i let the car roll on it's own.. there's another car in front of me.. so i hit the brake.. and to my suprise, it's not working! So i pressed VERY HARD on the brakes and was about to hit my E-brake when the car stopped. So when the engine is not running, the brakes are like manual and you really need to press VERY HARD for it to work. After wash i start the engine and drive a bit then press brake for a bit my car jerked and stopped aldy.. fhew.. luckily didn hit that car in front...... |

Not possible.
Brakes are all hydraulic. No power assist like power steering. I have not known any car that have assisted brakes. ABS & EBD is different thing. |

then you should try caerulln and see if you can get the 'full' potential of your brakes without starting the engine (just turn the keys until you have lights on the meter and switch to N).
Hey raymond5105 - yep can still press brake but feel no power. I press but you need super force to make the car stop. And yet the car roll very very slow on N... later i will try again and see if it's electronically controlled / assisted or not. |

And yet the car roll very very slow on N... later i will try again and see if it's electronically controlled / assisted or not. I can't explain it. Never had this problem before. The reason current cars do not have any sort of power assist is the fear of its failure. Google around for something like brake-by-wire. We press the brake paddle & it send electronic signal to the brakes. No mechanical linkage. This is still in R&D. It'll be very interesting if someone can prove that our cars have power assisted brakes. AFAIK, no Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Merc etc have it. At most ABS, EBD & some newer BMW that automatically press the brakes ever so slightly just to remove water from the disks (during rain) |

Btw, I'm guessing that there is other problem.
Which I can't think of. I'm 100% sure there is nothing electronic about our brakes apart from the ABS. |

I believe still not electronic control.We can see the hydraulic fluid for the break.Our City is using EPS,not hydraulic one.

Your friend put rotten food inside his car?Or he left his windows open when left his car?Else those insects won't come into the car one. Can try to put some air-refresher in the car and see. |

As what scottkiller said, the aeroplane sound is normal and had been discussed before in previous versions of this thread, kindly perform a search to avoid embarassmant. thx
oh julnoel , city fuel indicator.. it's very slow to drop from full to half.. but from half to empty it drops fast. Maybe because of the tank position. If you didn't floor or drive the car um... how to say.. really careful then you should have better mileage.My record was 600km for full tank i think... but now full tank can only last for 450 - 500km. I really floor a lot and there was once even a beamer lost to the legendary City so I am happy enough with my mileage My friend just bought a new set of rims.. As for me, i'm still waiting for more $$$ to mod my car you should have a look at teamcity, they mod kaw-kaw over there..Added on May 14, 2009, 5:28 am  This post has been edited by neato4u: May 14 2009, 05:28 AM |

yea pilot, it's never too late.. just go and polish / wax lor.. if you afraid it's going to be expensive, DIY! although one done at shop better because they use machine.
thx julnoel i took him out to the playground but when arrived he refused and want to drive the car pulak so ended up doing a photoshoot instead my side mirror (driver side) not fully working either. Happens after a car wash (darn) i think they push it too much then can only tilt to the inside not outside (up and down no problem), so if i want to tilt outside need to push using finger.. but really minor damage only.. so i just left it alone because usually it's not noticable.get a new one lorr.. those comes with LED i think rm 200 a pair always mod when there's something to fix haha |

Mine is VTEC 2005. Already over 110k on odometer. Service charge, including labour and parts, most expensive i can remember is below RM400, never exceed that amount. May be the charges vary depend on the service center.
However, i already gave my CT to my wife. Now driving something "extra" from previos CT, Triton 2.5 Manual..Syiok woooo.. |

Our CT only got one belt and we call it as fan belt. Ori belt is Misuboshi. Go get Bando belt instead. It cost about Rm80 outside. Model is 5PK 1145.

confirmed - honda city 3g (2003) have electronic assisted braking system.
I've tried this yesterday on a downhill road. You should try this too and confirm. Preparation : Make sure road is hilly enough so when you put the car in N, it will roll down slowly. 1. Turn on engine, switch gear to N 2. Pull handbrake 3. Turn off engine while gear in N, press brake a few times 4. Switch gear to R, press brake a few times 5. Switch gear to N 6. Release handbrake 7. Press brake pedal You should feel brake power is 1/10 and you need more force to stop the car. Pull handbrake to stop the car. Start the car, and you will feel the difference. |

Mine is almost going to change. Very soon will be reaching 100k already.Banda and Misuboshi both price are differed a lot? |

I can confirm it's electronically assisted on my idsi 2003. Maybe you should try performing this and see if it's the same as yours julnoel.
Yeah, really scary if sudden everything malfunction or the electronics got cut off but based on my test, if the power cuts - you still have like 2 or 3 times brake which are electronically assisted, before it run out of juice. I guess it got some capacitors to store energy for emergency, i guess... so once no power, make sure you brake and stop ASAP. |

QUOTE(odieseven @ May 22 2009, 03:11 PM) Hi everyone, my City Idsi 4G is nearing the 80,000 km mark soon. Any ideas on how to minimise the service cost? I heard that it would be about RM600 According to the Honda website... . Really need your help guys. Thanks a lot.VTEC 80k km service is RM656.25. IDSI is RM736.30. Must be becos of the extra spark plugs. However, 100k km service for VTEC is RM803.40 versus IDSI's RM391.35. I wonder why? Which SC u guys go to that can bargain the price? The one I visit is like fixed price... damn these blood suckers... |

lol, i'm not that free to call honda and check, maybe you can caerulln
i tested it 2 times and got the same result. The other thing, my friend who drives a 2005 honda city idsi told me that his car 'over-rided' by itself. It happens like this - my friend was speeding through the corners at speed roughly around 140km/h, there was a right turn in front, all of a sudden because it's too fast for him to corner, (he claimed lor..) the car automatically locks his steering wheel straight and automatically slows down the car until 100 or so.. then he got control back and quickly turn. This was for a sec or two maybe.. although i do not know if he got this placebo effect - because he was going quite fast and you never know what the road like, got oil or what until the steering is stuck.. but scary oso after heard that.. |

Doing 140 in our car into a turn is downright reckless. Even on a highway ramp, I can barely do 110 confidently. Our car rolls too much & understeer excessively. Add some more speed. Lose an extra traction on the inner tire, & we're dead. |

"or i just..move along with the..flow" i like the way that sounds
well, like what cerulln says, city body (or may i add, the ass or behind) just like to roll over when you corner.. i spinned off once because of that (it was wet) and had numerous times so kinda 'drifted' the back when taking corner during wet - i think should be about 90 - 110 when i do that, medium corner. So now during wet i drive like uncle bcoz scared already ah just got back from my breakfast.. with another honda city member (4g), discussing about what mod to do next with our ride hehehe |

My friend tried race with a gen2 CPS, he lost. it's on genting road but that CPS was fully modded oso so really dun stand a chance.. Top speed is nothing. Gen2 gearing is different so the top speed might be higher. My top speed is 184 verified by gps. our speedo is not very accurate That gen2 is not a CPS i think. CPS is basically a Proton's vtec my lil bro got a cps gen2. I hate driving it. The only thing I like is the ride height is much lower than city. I would think that our city will win going up genting due to our CVT. Anyway, I don't race those losers. All i will do is floor it. I don't swerve into lanes. That's reckless. If they do it, I'll just let them go. I'll stick in the fast lane. |

hmm hmm caerulln speaking from experience
hehe..do you mod your ride? mine still stock, super stock just play with the 7speed when need more boost. There was once a hmm.. wat car ha.. some car loh, looks like modded, going quite fast as well. I overtook him using the 7speed mode, rev kaw2 one real loud rpm like 5 - 6 all the time but speed was like 40 - 60 (road got many traffic lights and junctions - and lots of cars during that time as well) so after overtook this fella stayed close behind me.. but not tailing very close, maybe to check whether my car is modded or not.. after like 10 minutes tailing me and yeah i was going fast - i decided to let him pass, but he didn't, dunno if scared of my roaring engine or what.. lol.. but it was fun lor seeing him scared to overtook me. IDSI have much better pickup in low torque compared to VTEC, but of course VTEC win in the long run when the VTEC kicks in Thinking of getting a drop in filter and a VS or a power booster.. but haih, not now maybe later lor.. |

mine is completely stock as well.
Not gonna waste money to mod it. A city can't go any much faster no matter how much money we put. Spending money on a 1.5 liter engine is just not worth it. & of course the CVT is a major limitation. The city is a beater car. I don't baby it. Gotta save to buy my intermediate dream car..350z then can break the bank to twin turbo it btw, anyone here use the 7-speed to downshift for engine braking? I do it all the time that it becomes second nature already. Whenever I need to brake, I'll activate the 7-speed & lower the gear gradually down to 2 while pressing the brake paddle gently. Especially when I'm speeding & a turn coming up or some losers suddenly blocking my way. Our brakes felt too weak & easy to fade. Engine braking helps a lot. Sometimes I don't even need to press the brake paddle. Will this adversely affect the CVT in any significant way. Yes that definitely put extra stress on it. So far so good. |

I think u can get some key shops to duplicate the remote.
They'll have a device to scan the frequency. & AFAIK, our keys or remotes are not chipped to link with the immobilizer. The immobilizer is linked to the alarm system. Anyone who can disarm the alarm, will disarm the immobilizer as well. |

come julnoel, let's go together. I want to duplicate your .. eh i mean, my remote as well
I only got 1 remote working and the other day my son played with it (dunno if he ate it or what) then the next day when i want to go to work the alarm won't disarm Had to tekan tekan and wait for 5 minutes then only alarm disable and i can get inside.. nasib baik i ngam2 sampai office if not late lor now scared already because only got 1 remote.. caerulln, yes i play with the 7 speed to what you call downshift or engine braking too. But sometimes only lor when i drive fast. Logically if you do this the wear and tear should be more - so not advisable to do it more often lor. I oso do burnout sometimes - Put gear on N, rev kaw kaw then put gear on D and initiate burnout.. i dun baby my car oso.julnoel, play around with the 7 speed lor.. better way is to shift S and engage 7 speed, you sure feel more pickup and drag compared to usual D shift. Just that it's hard to shift gears when cornering.... dun you think so caerulln? |

Regarding the alarm, I don't know how but in certain places at a very specific location, the alarm just refused to disarm.
Move a little, no problem. I'm guess some sort of interference. My dad experienced this 1st. Went to a shop then only after so long pressing the alarm button, did it disarm. I tried at the exact same location, & the exact same thing happened. This happens at some very specific places only. Usually no problem. But when it happened, it is really annoying how can u do burnout? I can barely chirp the front wheel doing neutral drop. & that definitely will kill the CVT ASAP well then maybe just a reason to swap far a manual tranny? |

wah really? i dunno about the alarm interference thing.. I thought it's spoiled or what but hmm.. that's interesting to know. Anyway, I do need to duplicate my remote because I only have one, so if that's lost, then I'm going to drive a screaming Honda City
all the way to the accessories shop.Well, it's not like actual burnout, just a few tyre spins before you actually move. Need a lot of rev about 5 - 6 then can only make that happen, so the others will hear a screeching sound Yes lor of course will kill the CVT faster that's why I don't do it often - twice a year maybe? no lor, can't afford to change to manual.. btw, i'm a family man now so driving auto really cut out the stress from jams and what.. I'm buying a touch up paint for my car soon, so sad the front part paint got chipped by stones.. also got minor scratch at side and back so thought of cleaning that off. Anyone want to buy paint can contact me |

my city got so much scratches, stone chips, dents & key marks that I don't care anymore.
Beater cars are supposed to be like that. It'll drive me crazy if I have to fix every one of them. As long as it gets me from A to B comfortably, that's good enough. i do wash it though |

julnoel.. haiyorrr.. dun like that lor.. rain wont help, all those acid if left will spoil your car even further.
Spend 8 bucks aje at a car wash (my place got rm8, i dunno about your place lor but should be around rm10 only max) then sure clean one inside out. Myself if i rajin I would wash myself, if half rajin, would send to car wash - wash - then when got back, will further wash here and there, if tak rajin then wash at car wash only lor.. appearence is important, at least let it look clean lor.. of course u dowan other people to c u not bath for 1 month rite.. your car feel shy oso xen0, i think monthly installment of 5g city varies, but should be between rm1000+/-. My settle for old model when you can get new? My friend juz bought a 4G 2nd hand for around Rm67k i think. It's a 2005 or 2006 version.. do check for defects if buying a 2nd hand. |

WTF happened?!! I was happily writing for half an hour to respond back to raymond and julnoel queries and all of a sudden all of my replied gone!
 Haiyohhhhh waste my time onli.. now need to post back... Raymond, check this out : http://honda.com.my/customer-service/city.cfm#CityIDSI If you're driving a VTEC - then 100k going to be major service If IDSI, major is at 80k, 100k should be minor Parts listed below : - Engine Oil (depends, every 5 - 10k change lor) - Fuel filter (every 40k interval change) - Spark plugs (IDSI comes with 8, cost a bomb to change if required) - Oil filter - Air filter - Washer (when change CVTF i think, did mine outside, machanic said old washer still ok so use that one back - at SC they sure change one) - CVTF (some say change at 20k, some 40k interval. Up to you to decide - not that expensive either) - Labour charge which cost a bomb if done at SC Other than that, I think they will recalibrate ECU and EPS (done recalibration of ECU last time cost me about 100 bucks for that stupid thing only... ) and maybe change brake pads for major service.I forgot what they changed to mine because I didn't keep the receipt.. maybe if someone else have can post here (i need it too.. hehe). - Julnoel.. reverse gear vibration / jerk is common issue for City. Some even changed their gearbox only to find out that the problem is still there (there goes your $$$). Change CVTF as I've experienced only help to keep vibration to minimum - to entirely eliminate I think you still need to go to SC where they will recalibrate your ECU together check your clutch *I think lor*. But if you have money change CVTF lor, doesn't hurt oso - treat like you give present for your car lor hehe. Some oso said the R jerk / vibrate caused by slow auto clutch engagement. It takes some time to adjust to properly engage reverse gear, so what i do is that i press brake, switch R, then wait few seconds until i feel it's ready, then let go and accel to reverse. Sometimes if i want to cepat2 one car will jerk reverse, then feel like orang tekan clutch (free gear) car rolling forward, then reverse back again.. not nice.. - kenji1903 - your 2008 version oso have air con problem? I guess it's Honda City lor..Dun compare to proton ! Proton have the coldest aircon ! I've been asking NYC_Aircond whether I can make the aircon colder, by adding another fan perhaps (some cars can add), but he say cannot for IDSI 2003 - but I'm still asking him to confirm whether can add or not. Maybe you should ask him and see if 2008 version can? Or if there's any other options that you could try (change radiator? cost a bomb..) I usually drive with my temp maxed out. Only like an hour or so then only really cold and i have to lower it down. Dunno why but Honda aircon so weak one.. I thought the new version had that fixed, but guess not This post has been edited by neato4u: Jun 10 2009, 03:38 PM |

QUOTE(neato4u @ Jun 10 2009, 03:12 PM) kenji1903 - your 2008 version oso have air con problem? i think there might be something wrong with the blower... my dad changed his wira blower, now even stronger aircond... I guess it's Honda City lor..Dun compare to proton ! Proton have the coldest aircon ! I've been asking NYC_Aircond whether I can make the aircon colder, by adding another fan perhaps (some cars can add), but he say cannot for IDSI 2003 - but I'm still asking him to confirm whether can add or not. Maybe you should ask him and see if 2008 version can? Or if there's any other options that you could try (change radiator? cost a bomb..) I usually drive with my temp maxed out. Only like an hour or so then only really cold and i have to lower it down. Dunno why but Honda aircon so weak one.. I thought the new version had that fixed, but guess not where is NYC_Aircond? sitting in front is ok, but when i have passengers then they'll say behind no aircond... the 2009 City's aircond is not bad |

QUOTE(raymond5105 @ Jun 10 2009, 04:46 PM) Hi neato4u, appreciate the effort in replying my questions.Well,i guess next service at 103k i will going to change my spark plugs, engine oil(properly going to flush the engine) and CVTF. Got my NGK G-Power(8 pieces),oil filter, engine oil(Magnetc) and air filter changed previously by myself. Have you change the fuel filter before? I haven't changed it yet until now. I guess every City is jerking when on 2nd gear during slow speed as sometimes i met this after made a U-Turn and speed up. No problem raymond, i like to share On the air-cond,i'm very satisfy with it as it serves me well. I switch the temp at the middle and it's cooler after awhile driving. I think Honda air-cond is not so bad. and yes, the best way to save is to DIY. I drove my friend IDSI and I can say yes, most city have jerking when climbing hill or when 2nd gear (although i do not know if there is actually a gear on city) - just a little lor, but can still feel it's not that smooth. Unless you drive slow then it's super smooth with no feel of gear change at all. QUOTE(techassist @ Jun 10 2009, 05:50 PM) tomorrow i am going for 90k service....will post the expenses once i receive the bill (if i still alive after seeing the bill)..... If it's your last service, who cares about warranty anymore unless you know for yourself your car got some damage or issues and you need to use that warranty. SC very expensive worrrr anyway...my 85k service cost me RM659.40....including changing gearbox oil and rear break pad.....basically their labour charge will kill your pocket....

QUOTE(raymond5105 @ Jun 12 2009, 09:08 AM) Adding more 5k need a few more hundred buck in servicing? Exactly! - Anyway guys, as some knows I have this steering stuck problem (steering bite). So yesterday I went to the SC and see if they can do some 'freeplay' on my steering. The machanics at a local workshop says they can't adjust because City uses EPS so it's motorized and does not use a screw to adjust. The fella at SC yesterday actually do it by adjusting a SCREW near the steering rack it was very easy to adjust after all.. just that he say they need to lift the car everytime to adjust as it's just too difficult to adjust it by laying down (i guess he just doesn't want his shirt to get dirty).FYI - I didn't get freeplay. The fella told me that to achieve freeplay, they need to lighten the steering (increase power - or set the screw to minimum), so it is possible but I didn't do it because if you did, every hole that you bump, you will hear like this 'absorber kong' sound 'ktak ktak' which is very loud. So i asked him to make the steering heavier by adjusting the screw to 3/4 (original was 2/4), feel heavy a bit but still tak puas hati like that.. so I ask him to increase or in other word decrease the power again. So he ended up putting the screw to the max (4/4) and when I drive, wah very heavy steering like driving a lorry but very scared because when I turn, the steering refused to turn back straight and I need to force it to be straight again . After adjusting here and there, I decided for him to set it to 1/4 (setting 0 will cause a lot of noise), so got noise still when run through holes but not that loud lor.I still am testing the steering. I think the issue still there but so far have not felt it yet. And I got it done at Global Amity for RM30 bucks (tighten / loosen screw only.. if I know it earlier I would have adjusted it myself, save that 30 bucks to buy pizza hahaha ) But damn waiting time was too long and so painful I think two gallons gone from the drinking machine i drank and went to toilet for 4 times! hahah..  waiting was from 10am till 2:30pm, got home at 3:30pm... crazy... Anyway I'll post later to update if that adjustment has resolved my steering stuck issue This post has been edited by neato4u: Jun 12 2009, 10:21 AM |

@neato4u, steering screw near the steering neck?
Then later all of us can adjust by ourselves. The freeplay,have no idea what is that. Adjusting the steering also affecting the absorber too,it's too deep for me.  What is the root cause of steering stuck? |

raymond - yep hehehe.. i got chased out from their garage actually for the first time when they wan to adjust, but then during test drive i made friend with the machanic and chit chat a bit, he was quite ok and told me the things that i wanted to know
so he told me about the screw and adjustments and things.. so next when he's adjusting my car i went outside and took a peek, and saw him adjusting this screw with a 'spanar'. So easy one.. maybe this weekend I will investigate more so very easy if you want to increase / decrease your steering wheel sensitivity or power julnoel - I've been living with it for wat.. 2 years ? Now tak tahan aldy especially if drive at highways. Memang tak syok. Sum time i feel like dowant drive and just wan to sit at the back. But wat to do my wife can't drive You got steering issue meh? Not stuck rite? but another issue? |

julnoel, yeah i think I remember you mentioned about your stiff steering. I think it's normal, it's the EPS doing it's things. It can be light as a feather if you're cruising slowly - and heavy when you're speeding.
raymond, i think so too. There were like 2 people that were watching me when i was hanging out near their garage watching the cars and stuffs - and they did mine at another garage, at the back, where no one can actually see unless they go there themselves.. top secret i guess.. but i managed to sneak in whilst they were adjusting it, and kinda saw the screw.. hehe. Well.. today went out to the playground, bought my son to play. And taught mommy how to drive a city (yeah!) - she did very well on her first drive Maybe tomolo I'll check the screw and post some pics if possible happy weekend to julnoel and raymond, and the rest of you guys and gals out there !

QUOTE(caerulln @ May 27 2009, 10:43 PM) mine is completely stock as well. do like this, i think ur CVT will die very soon wow ...Not gonna waste money to mod it. A city can't go any much faster no matter how much money we put. Spending money on a 1.5 liter engine is just not worth it. & of course the CVT is a major limitation. The city is a beater car. I don't baby it. Gotta save to buy my intermediate dream car..350z then can break the bank to twin turbo it btw, anyone here use the 7-speed to downshift for engine braking? I do it all the time that it becomes second nature already. Whenever I need to brake, I'll activate the 7-speed & lower the gear gradually down to 2 while pressing the brake paddle gently. Especially when I'm speeding & a turn coming up or some losers suddenly blocking my way. Our brakes felt too weak & easy to fade. Engine braking helps a lot. Sometimes I don't even need to press the brake paddle. Will this adversely affect the CVT in any significant way. Yes that definitely put extra stress on it. So far so good. |

ok guys, yesterday went to putrajaya then off to rawang via plus highway with near full load on the car including baggages. Usually the steering will stuck under these scenarios but now not anymore and drive was very smooth
The only drawback to this was a loud rattling sound if i go past 120km/h. But I'm very satisfied with the 30 bucks fix. Rather than paying rm1k to replace the whole steering rack at least a low cost solutionUpdated pics btw  This post has been edited by neato4u: Jun 17 2009, 11:10 PM |

hi pilot. If you're staying at SK i have a good workshop to do servicing. I did my service and changed my CVTF oil there as well. My favourite workshop btw, machanic are friendly (those bosses lor - ignore those underlings) and very honest, not to mention it's kinda cheap as well.
I also got contact to get genuine honda parts (such as engine oil, cvtf and stuffs) at a low cost price. Drop a PM and I'll give you my number. We can go get the stuffs and service your car together too, maybe can hang out for teh tarik afterwards |

lol.. thanks julnoel. Well, you should meet him and say hi sometimes
There were once I was real tired and he woke up before me (we slept in the same room). I saw him woke up and he was smiling to see me awake too, but then i kinda dozed off because i was too tired and fall asleep again after a couple of seconds. Tiba2 i feel like someone kissing my cheek and saw it was him, after kissed me he went outside to play with his mommy. So cute and I was so touched! Btw julnoel, kruk kruk kruk sound I could say 80% because of the bearing wore out already. A friend of mine changed his for RM200+/- it's quite expensive because Honda City need to replace the whole part (i don't know what part is it) instead of only the ball bearing as it's kinda like built in and you can't take it out seperately. On the other hand, i heard that this could be another unknown issue and a teamcity member asked to visit SC to check it out (haha, what a lol, if everything go to SC then what's the point you post here rite?) - sometime it's just a joke when they respond back 'You need to send over to SC' which I think is worthless and a waste of time.. I mean, if you do not know the answer, just say don't know rite.. Added on June 24, 2009, 11:57 amoh hey, hope you got good results on your exam!

what's a PITA caerulln?
ball bearings i supposed. My friend said they need to replace the whole stuffs out because honda city ball bearings can't be separated individually. Although I have no idea what the thing is nor what is replaced... I downshift as well when want to take fast corners or just feel like it.. so far no issues, doin that for 2 years already hehehe |

it's the tyres that we ride on, not the car. So any stuffs which holds it need to be properly taken care too... Let me see if I got time to check with my fav workshop later today and ask the boss about it - if he got advice i'll post it here how the incident happened with the perdana raymond? u saw it with your own eyes? |

Guess what,the break down created a few km long jam for those who was going to Balik Pulau. 2nd time was i saw on a main road,that was pretty lucky as the road has a few lanes so there was no jam created. The right wheel of both cars were totally torn out and the cars were laid down 45 degree angle in the front of their right wheels. it's the tyres that we ride on, not the car. So any stuffs which holds it need to be properly taken care too... Let me see if I got time to check with my fav workshop later today and ask the boss about it - if he got advice i'll post it here how the incident happened with the perdana raymond? u saw it with your own eyes? From that time i have a bad mind that Proton cars are not safety at all. |

Proton = Tin Milo
Tin Milo = Not safe Therefore Proton = Not safe Not to mention the deep corruption. Buy Perodua if u want to support national car manufacturer. Proton sux. My bro got his Gen 2 CPS hi line. withing a week, 1 of the rear door stuck jammed My dad regrets it. Never to buy a Proton ever again. [/rant] |

well.. you guys do know that proton are made tougher and includes more safety features for an exported / non-Malaysia version.
They got airbags too! I wonder why they can't produce the same quality over here, really cheapskate and stupid. They do like that so they can get more profit, and of course, Malaysians will die faster.... WTF, really double standard one |

Another thing is Proton is the same with just about all domestic car manufacturer in USA.
They produce crap cars in US but ok cars in other countries. Some nice models sold in other countries are not even brought into US. Mostly due to their crap worker union. Proton is due to crap government corruption. |

Has anyone experienced the D gear light blinking on the dashboard yet?
If so, how does it happen ar? Does it remain for a period of time, or does it flash for like 2 seconds. I was waiting at the traffic light, in neutral, for the light to turn green. It turned green, then I shifted back to D. For awhile, like 2 seconds, the D light flashed. I got a bit worried. Then another traffic light, I turned back to neutral, and when the traffic light turned green, i shifted back to D but it didnt flash/blink anymore. Was it just a minor glitch in the backlight of the dashboard or am I having transmission problems? Mine flashed for like 2 seconds, while I was a bit hesitant to switch from Neutral to D because the car in front had not moved yet, so maybe I did not fully push the gear down or what, I'm not sure. But it flashed for only abt 2 to 3 seconds.. I doubt if its a warning system that it will flash for such a short period of time that people wont be able to notice it? Help please *SCREAMS* |

Ic. But in my point of view, as long as the lights does not remain on, and eventually shuts itself off (although it will take longer) - that should be ok.
Unless you are very concerned about it, then it's better for you to go for a check. |

Scary,air bag sensor lights up means something wrong with the car system. Go for a service checking. D driving mode flashing for a few seconds also is advice to go SC for checking. The sensor wire inside problem ?

Hi, i hope someone could answer my questions here.
Not too long ago i accidentally hit someone's Blue color Honda city 3rd gen at the bumper site. Body is scratch free, only the front bumper got hit. So, the front bumper itself "kemek" a little and it came down for less then 2-3cms. It is not that serious but it is a new car so... I would like to repair it and spray for that particular spot or for the whole bumper, but i am kinda reluctant to change the new bumper for that particular owner unless the bumper cannot be fixed AT ALL. I would like to ask how much would it be to repair the whole thing. I've heard that there is no way to mudguard the kemek site because the the bumper is made of plastic. Is it true? But the mudguard guy said if its not big then it shouldnt be a problem. The owner check with the Honda centre and total fixed (new bumper + Spray) will be less than 1k. But i've call some guys outside and they said it costs less than RM 400 (without changing the new bumper). So 1k and RM 400 is a big different. Anyone can answer my questions. Please only constructive opinions. Regards, |

@neato4u, so nice that you are staying near that area. I hope i am staying near to you too,can hang out together. SC price is usually 2-3x more expensive than outside service,someone will still prefer to go SC.

IRC was before ICQ... i think?
I still remember dulu2 used 'Freetalk' to chat on my ol 56k modem (that time 28k je speed) IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat - it's a group chat in realtime thingy with room (we call channels) such as the popular #kampung and stuffs here's a WIKI - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat |

Sorry to intrude... old honda city owner here (not 4G that is)
Recently just changed the brake pad a few weeks ago and found that now I have to press longer just to brake (sometimes feel like the brakes are not catching). Last time no need to press so much as compare to now can brake even going around 100km can feel that the car is slowing.. Since change to new brake pads have to brake further away before can feel that it's slowing (not sure if you get what I'm trying to say here) Maybe I'm thinking too much.... Pickup also not as good as well, it'll take sometime (maybe around 2min) just to feel the pickup. My CT is currently around 4.5 years already. Maybe old already So want to check with you sifu-sifu if can advice me on this.... This post has been edited by rmage: Jul 24 2009, 12:21 PM |

QUOTE(rmage @ Jul 24 2009, 12:02 PM) Sorry to intrude... old honda city owner here (not 4G that is) In regards to your braking system, you might want to try and do a emergency brake at a safe spot just to test if your brake is still reliable. What year is your city? Recently just changed the brake pad a few weeks ago and found that now I have to press longer just to brake (sometimes feel like the brakes are not catching). Last time no need to press so much as compare to now can brake even going around 100km can feel that the car is slowing..

Maybe old already So want to check with you sifu-sifu if can advice me on this.... You might want to check back with the workshop who replaced your brake, say that you feel it's not sensitive compared to the old brake. They might be able to do some adjustments there. Very dangerous if you just leave it as it is, especially if you sense there is something wrong with it Yours is 3g? Same model like mine perhaps. Where do you stay? If not far can drop by at some spot so we can test drive our ride together and see if brake is same or different, then can compare. Pickup, maybe can recalibrate the ECU - or did you use a thicker engine oil? |

Hey neato4u, thx for the helpful advice.
Yeah, mine is the same version as yours... if not mistaken it's 2005 (not the facelift one). Outlook quite charn already lo... cause front & back bumper also kena kiss (paint came off + scratches) but haven't send for repainting yet. Was thinking of waiting to paint whole car only take care everything. Just changed tyres at Klang today. Previously using Hankook Ventuz, and noted that when cornering at the kerinchi link (wet road) it'll slide to left eventhough just going around 70-80km. Scare-scare, so friend recommended to change the tyres since mine has been more than 3 years already but the threading still look like new. Is there a limit in tyre life since mine still looks new (with a bit makan the side - front wheels)? Sent it for service early July but they skipped the 80K service where they're suppose to change the spark plug & straight go to 85K service. Will need to check with SC if they can help to recalibrate ECU & see if it'll help. Hmm, wondering if it's also because I'm using semi-oil as well? Also when put into reverse gear and start reversing sometimes it'll jerk, send to the SC so many times but they say no problem with the car. Last time they mentioned it's because of the air-cond cause the guy who fixed the compressor set it to high that's why can feel jerking. After that, the SC fix it and it was ok awhile. But came back after awhile Got a friend to try the emergency braking today (before changing new tyres) and he mentioned seem ok... But still, I think better send back to the brakepad workshop cause normally when I feel something is wrong with my CT, I'm usually right. Is it because I'm too in-tune with my car?
