Sure sure bro.. But please state IDSI or Vtec bro.

The negative? U sure u wan to hear it? I heard that the car is underpower (said by thais) although it's 120bhp. Why? Cause it use the normal gearbox and thus losing about 30% of power.

Anyway, sorry guys, no pic of new Honda City as didnt have the time. notworthy.gif

wow, if that is the case, its really sedih man cry.gif maybe the ECU can be tuned for better performance? 30% is a lot le, after deduction is like 82.6hp compared to claimed 118hp, i find it hard to accept.

Wah, upgrading kah? notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

I also thinking of upgrading to mpv, but my wallet's current economy is not so good, have to be patient loh.. cry.gif cry.gif

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.. doh.gif
4) Dry battery.

So far so good, very good investment i would say.. smile.gif

raya balik kampung time last week, 1st time for my city to go long distance.

push until 160 still feel solid. hehe. smile.gif

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..

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.

i've tried around 18+km/h with default setup with 3 adults on LPT, quite not stable tough..

Btw, just changed to 16" from 17", 2 times changed tires in less 2 months, holes everywhere. The whole Terengganu is in construction.. doh.gif doh.gif The new yokohama tires is wider than continental, so have to changed to default spring.. driving pleasure is less fun now..

Nowadays, not many CT owner chatting/drop by in thread anymore, maybe they already upgrading to better car loh.. notworthy.gif

To achieve 700km, you would need to do about 18km/l until left a few litres of fuel. Certainly achievable on long-distance highways, but I bet he didn't tell you that biggrin.gif

Hi hi,

Just got my vtec 2008 Sparkle Grey earlier this afternoon.
Yup, can add me to the list too. tongue.gif

*Btw, it is not good to speed up over 100 km...when the car is still below 1000km (before the 1st service)?

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. Could anybody tell me what is the brand of my cd player?
It is ??Wx?. I am playing to upgrade my speaker but not sure about how much power the OEM Head Unit can support. I am not intend to change the head unit as it looks nice on the dashboard. Somemore my car still under warranty.

Try to maintain you RPM below 3k. It is hard to limit the speed below 100km when you are on highway... haha

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?

Yup, me too saw it at Eneos at Kepong JJ. Not much variety though. I really like the arm rest in 4G City. The one attached to the seat one. Simple and useable. wink.gif

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! @#!@$!%!%!!!!! vmad.gif

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 tongue.gif for me, the steering is too light, until i turn it until it bounced back laugh.gif


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?

Should not be a pb.. Tell me ur setup first and budget. Good quality sound should get a component speaker which i recommend u to go for JBL. And if u dun have sub then go for 6x9 JBL decade edision but need to put metal. Dun for get at least 2 channel amp yeah.

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.

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? unsure.gif

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 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.

IMO, our car can't pull off matte black very nicely.
I'd put some custom tasteful glossy vinyls to contrast it.

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.

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..

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 smile.gif

Answring your questions in my POV..

1. Go for VTEC - you will not regret it.. IDSI is the most economical, but trust me, when you feel VTEC, you don't want to go for IDSI anymore.. of course it will kick in a few extra bucks for petrol.. but seriously, it's still one of the best mileage cars ever built.

2. not that much, i've seen some VTEC consumption lesser than those with IDSI - go for VTEC man!

3. Try teamcity (do a google search), mudah.com.my or go visit your 2nd hand car dealers and pick one for yourselves! Oh, i reckon i saw a forumer here @ garage section, automotive, trying to sell off his city for quite some time (modded, very leng!). Go ahead for that man, not sure if its idsi or vtec though.. sweat.gif

P/s : try find one with extra accessories (eg. rims, ICE, tint)

all the best thumbup.gif

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

er.. yea, i think that's the sound from the belt...
the SC told me the belt is a bit noisy, put some oil, then ask me to change it next time during service.
i'm not in malaysia now.. the car is with my mom.. HAHA.. hopefully she'll bring my car to service laugh.gif

i service every 5k.. never tried more than 5k tongue.gif and always in SC...

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, just got my honda city today smile.gif

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 smile.gif

1. The smaller button is an emergency alarm. Read ur manual book bro.. Pressing it wont do any harm. Jes repress it again to deactivate the alarm

2. 7 speed mode is a virtual gear for our CTV. It's like an auto with control of gear function. 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.

7 speed mean our car has a technology of very smooth transmission without any feel of entering a gear or some call jerk. 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.

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.

For number 2, i hear there is an auto 7 speed and a manual 7 speed. how does the auto one work? to be honest, im not a big fan of manual things doh.gif

and is there really a substantial diff or wad lol
*
there is 2 things. 7speed and 7speed manual mode
so if you click once the 7speed . you car will be in "racing" mode. brake easier to press. rev harder. but if you decide to push the + and - sign. your car will be " converted " to manual.

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?

gonna pick-up my car later during lunch time.

It's better go to get a 04 and above City. I am not saying that all 03 model has those defective gearbox, it's just that changes are there. Just remember that when u decided to buy, please bring the car to Honda SC to do full inspection. If the owner or agent dun let, then dun buy.

Hi guys, sorry for the noob question, just got my honda city today smile.gif

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 smile.gif

I know tell me about it

It happened just now also. I'm really afraid it drains my battery till kosong then I wont be able to start my car or sth

Anyways..

I found a temporary solution

U know the button to press to push the thing downwards so that you can insert a cd

On the other side, there is a button to completely remove the unit.

I removed that :/ and when I leave the car I'll just leave it hanging there on its own



Dunno la why it happens..anyone knows ):

Added on May 2, 2009, 12:02 pmHey guys

Had some problem with my city this morning sad.gif I was waiting outside my house on P and with handbrake on. 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?

lol julnoel.. true my car is a 80k one, but a 40k car can outrun a 80k .. sweat.gif 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 sweat.gif

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

regarding the fan sound.. did you on your aircon? If yes, it's the aircon fan that's spinning..

normal. for me oso when the fan kicks in, then the lights will dim a bit.

must be something else then.

aircond fan kicks in but once in awhile, its not like continuousy

so yeah okay nvm abt that

went to check with mechanic today. he helped me tighten the battery terminal part and so far so good, had the car on for abt 1 hour to see if it "restarts" but it didnt. so im guessing all is fine now. I HOPE

Stock setting on our car would be properly like that speed only.170km/h is quite fast already.VTEC version can go higher.Myvi manual maybe can tapou you,not the auto version.But they have to rev. kao kao already.

my battery is the new kind ( i think) there arent any openings, just a + and - terminal

I guess it was just lose

had the mechanic tighten it (didnt have the tools and was partially scared >.<)

so now its okay smile.gif hopefully

i 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

no but i could move the negative terminal simply by pushing it..

i guess the vibration in the engine compartment messed with that a bit yesterday resulting in the "restarting" of my radio and the other electronics

so now its super tight

like the other cars i have at home cos i checked

nope smile.gif so far so good. no restarting of the "electronics" whatsoever.

and i think this has happened to me once before, when i was having my driving lessons

the instructor had to go fix the car a bit, so after that i was driving, then suddenly on an empty stretch of road, everything just went off. 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 smile.gif

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..

sweat.gif fhew.. luckily didn hit that car in front......

When car engine is off,usually can press the break manually.If you say like that,maybe the break is controlled by electronic?I'm doubt with it.But why you were not turning on the engine while moving the car?

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.

I don't know.
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)

i got an ant's nest in my car
the stupid ant queen hiding in the back seat belt buckle.
the first week i was damn weird why inside the car got so many ants.
then it got worse when i saw a row of ants marching to the engine area.
then i search the whole car and saw ANTS coming out from the seat belt buckle.

i got an ant's nest in my car
the stupid ant queen hiding in the back seat belt buckle.
the first week i was damn weird why inside the car got so many ants.
then it got worse when i saw a row of ants marching to the engine area.
then i search the whole car and saw ANTS coming out from the seat belt buckle.
shieldtex and saw the queen came out (bigger size than normal ants), and no more ants problem.

That sound is normal for CT.. from the 1st batch until now.. it still have that sound.. the only different is did u notice it or not only.
this issue discussed before at Teamcity forum before remain unsolve because of that is engineering problem from Honda.. it not harming ur engine or gearbox. create that kind of sound only.. louder ur radio will resovle it

i find the idsi to be super fuel efficient

i filled up full tank the other day, about RM 63 i think

My usual journey is about 50km a day

So far I've had 5 days of class, which is abt 250km +-

And my tank only finished by half biggrin.gif

When I was drivin my satria, 50 bucks would have left me with 1/4 tank by now..

hehehehhee

So I get a 1km/0.12cents only biggrin.gif

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 laugh.gif

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 laugh.gif 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 brows.gif so I am happy enough with my mileage laugh.gif

My friend just bought a new set of rims.. sweat.gif As for me, i'm still waiting for more $$$ to mod my car sweat.gif you should have a look at teamcity, they mod kaw-kaw over there..

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 laugh.gif i took him out to the playground but when arrived he refused and want to drive the car pulak sweat.gif so ended up doing a photoshoot instead brows.gif

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.. tongue.gif 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 brows.gif

always mod when there's something to fix laugh.gif 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..

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.

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 sweat.gif

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.

According to the Honda website...
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...

Hi,

I just done my 80k service last Saturday, and it only costs me RM600+


Added on May 25, 2009, 5:55 pmGuys, I'm thinking of tinting my City this coming year end.

Do you guys have any particular shop or brands to recommend? I'm thinking Ecotint, vKool and 3M. Budget would not be more than RM2K...

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.. sweat.gif

no such thing.
his mind playing himself.
Probably didn't realized he is pressing the brake paddle.
How come locking the steering straight in a turn & not going into a ditch or something?

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.

lol.. i somewhat agreed with you rolleyes.gif
he was a mad driver before, with illegal street racing and even got a celica modified like a track car but for illegal races sweat.gif

that was his old days, he still have that celica with him, but didn't use it and just collecting dust maybe..

u mean u can't do a 110 on a straight highway road or a turn on highways? I know.. if turn, our city handling is not that good oso, even on straight road with minor bump i can feel the car is very light and like going to take off when i'm driving between 130 - 140.

nah..you're not noob..

rolls like hell.
I do manage to induce understeer quite a few times during the rain.
Quite scary really biggrin.gif

1 thing I like is our engine is more powerful than Gen-2 1.6 (duh..they're proton..what can we expect)
A gen-2 flash me on a highway coz i go into the fast lane just as he is about to overtake me.
I just floor it & he can't tailgate me.

Did you put your seat too high? Lower down would give you much feel of the car so you can drive better - in my POV that is.. But if you feel not confident enough, better stick with your feeling and drive slow. Sometimes we can kinda sense if something is wrong. But dear, 80 is really slow.. i bet some kapcai bike can oso overtake you with ease like that.. laugh.gif no offence ya.. hehe

get the bucket seats, confirm leng and no slip one.. hahaha..

come let me test drive your city and see if it's ok or not, you should be comfortable doing up to 120 at least - corner at 80 consider ok lor.. kinda fast oso depends on what corner u taking sweat.gif i tot you mean drive straight at 80km/h sweat.giflaugh.gif

the roads i take, usually i cannot go more than 100 one cos always jam ._.

LDP Is always jam, and at night there are useless ppl hogging the fast lanes..n there r some corners too near the church and all, where people slow down to cut here n thr..then in the terowong also

NKVE from Damansara to Subang, can pecut a bit lah but..usually i go in the mornings, banyak orang, all the bmw all no need to race la hahahaha tongue.gif

so yah..fastest i've gone is abt 100-110 oni tongue.gif

but corners, WAY slower, probably less than 80 even..probably like 50 or 40 AHHAHAHAHAHAHA..

and no la the seats r comfy..but just that..when takin corners or wad feels like fallin off the chair..usually haf to tahan with my leg on the side of the centre console or sth lolz..or i just..move along with the..flow

"or i just..move along with the..flow" i like the way that sounds laugh.gif

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 sweat.gif

ah just got back from my breakfast.. with another honda city member (4g), discussing about what mod to do next with our ride laugh.gif hehehe

Top speed I'm not sure.
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 brows.gif hehe..

do you mod your ride?

mine still stock, super stock sweat.gif 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 sweat.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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 laugh.gif 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 sweat.gif

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 laugh.gif

now scared already because only got 1 remote.. sweat.gif

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.. laugh.gif 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.... sweat.gif 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 shakehead.gif

how can u do burnout?
I can barely chirp the front wheel doing neutral drop.
& that definitely will kill the CVT ASAP laugh.gif

well then maybe just a reason to swap far a manual tranny? brows.gif

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 laugh.gif 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 tongue.gif

Yes lor of course will kill the CVT faster that's why I don't do it often - twice a year maybe? laugh.gif

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 laugh.gif

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.. sweat.gif your car feel shy oso brows.gif

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.

well for me just flush if you experienced any jerking or if the gear change is not smooth or vibrates. Else no need lor..

i think major service is at 80k which you just passed. 100k should be normal service but i'll check around and update if not thumbup.gif

Maybe your compressor is lacking of gas pressure.Can go to SC there and check your gas level.

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! mad.gif

Haiyohhhhh waste my time onli.. now need to post back... cry.gif

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 sweat.gif
If IDSI, major is at 80k, 100k should be minor brows.gif

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) hmm.gif
- 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 laugh.gif

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... shocking.gif ) 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? laugh.gif I guess it's Honda City lor..

Dun compare to proton ! Proton have the coldest aircon ! brows.gif

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 sweat.gif

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. sweat.gif sweat.gif

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.

No problem raymond, i like to share laugh.gif 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.

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 doh.gif 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 laugh.gif but very scared because when I turn, the steering refused to turn back straight and I need to force it to be straight again shocking.gif . 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 laugh.gif) 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.. whistling.gif 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 thumbup.gif

@neato4u, steering screw near the steering neck? brows.gif 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. rclxub.gif 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 brows.gif 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.. sweat.gif maybe this weekend I will investigate more laugh.gif so very easy if you want to increase / decrease your steering wheel sensitivity or power thumbup.gif

julnoel - I've been living with it for wat.. 2 years ? Now tak tahan aldy sweat.gif 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 sad.gif

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 thumbup.gif

Maybe tomolo I'll check the screw and post some pics if possible smile.gif

happy weekend to julnoel and raymond, and the rest of you guys and gals out there ! laugh.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

do like this, i think ur CVT will die very soon wow ...

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 thumbup.gif

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 sweat.gif at least a low cost solution

Updated pics btw laugh.gif

anyone can recommend me a good workshop around Klang valley....need to service my car withing these 2days....100k service...now 112k d...:L i mean yet to do the major service....(besides force workshop, no offense ive went there to do minor stuff like change brake disk)

For your info im staying in Sri Kembangan....but I don't mind to travel to PJ or puchong...no shah alam/kelang/kota kemuning as i find these places too far and always get lost when i go there..haha..

what i want to do
1) major service 100k (change spark plug *4 + the usual stuff) , maybe buy the stuff at original honda stokis like in tmn paramount, seapark and bring to the workshop....(hope 2 save a lot compared to the RM850++ the SC is quoting me)
2) change batteries (century or yokohama free maintenance , hope below RM160)
3) change 2 tires...(current front are M5) rear are falken azenis ST115 ( i need to replace the falken, botak kaw2 d)
4) change 2 fog lamp bulp...(last time 1 fog lamp cost me rm30 only but forget where the shop in puchong that force brought me..haha)

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 laugh.gif

lol.. thanks julnoel. Well, you should meet him and say hi sometimes laugh.gif

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! smile.gif

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.. sweat.gif

not sure bout that..
Do u think if we redline a lot, the CVT will be blown?
Coz that's what it does when downshifting. Redlining except under vacuum.
Been doing that for more than a year consistently, no problem whatsoever smile.gif

What bearing do u think that is blown?
Bearings usually are cheap. What makes it expensive is the service charge to remove & replace the bearing which might be a PITA.

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... sweat.gif

I downshift as well when want to take fast corners or just feel like it.. laugh.gif 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...

Yeah neato4u, i saw it with my own in Penang. First time i saw that car broke down in the middle of a village road into Balik Pulau. 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. sweat.gif From that time i have a bad mind that Proton cars are not safety at all.

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 vmad.gif

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* rclxub.gif

airbag sensor? dangerous bro..
that one no choice but to visit SC sweat.gif

got indication on your sunshade flap oso if airbag lights up consult your authorized honda SC...

they should add a fine print *and prepare your $$$
*
its not up when im driving, but up when i start the car. Usually i wait till all the lights are gone, but recently i noticed that the airbag light came up and takes about 10-20sec to off.. Dont know if its normal anot, but it seems not normal to me smile.gif

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.

julnoel... kinda scary.

But did you 'feel' anything different when switching back to D?

Or you can just drive as normal?

Drive like normal :/ I still rev at about 2k rpm on normal driving, 2.5 to get to abt 80-90..3 to go to abt 100-110

Has anyone experienced this D light coming on before?? :/ I tried googling and apparently it will be flashing thru out your driving..not just for like 1 or 2 seconds..

SIGH. Hopefully its nothing..transmission gone then i guess ): everything is gone too t_t

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 ?

the only way i can justify what happened is that...if its some kind of warning system :/ why would it have only flashed for like 1 to 2 seconds? lol..

thats like quite a dumb warning system? no? and yes i am in denial. i do not wish my car to be problematic. t_T

today so far i drove okay,no flashing whatsoever...

so i guess its just..my hesitation to change from Neutral to D lah. smile.gif but if anyone has experienced, do ahre

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

lol.. just kidding, mine got scratched at behind.. dunno who did it sweat.gif

i met with an accident once, front bumper pecah and got hole.. scratches all over. Went to this shop so they put cement there at hole to cover nicely.. then spray paint on bumper. Cost me about RM300

Shop is at sri kembangan, near equine park. PM me and maybe we can meet up and I can show you the shop (later buy me teh tarik!) laugh.gif

yo .... penang city owner reporting in....

me also planning to spray my city side area...becoz kena dents from ppl's door opening...arrrgghhh...

i got a quote to spray front half and back half at the side portion for RM250...just imagine the side spray whole area without the doors...

but then i'm afraid that the color will not match...i've seen samples where the repaint area color looks totally different...

anyone from penang can recommend a good spray workshop with color matching? i read before can do...but dunno where...

thanks....

I still remember dulu2 used 'Freetalk' to chat on my ol 56k modem (that time 28k je speed) laugh.gif

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 laugh.gif

jerking usually associated with CVT. (i might be wrong)

when my car due for 40k service, i felt some jerkiness... but when SC change CVT oil, all smooth already...

Time to change your CVTF - see if that resolves the issue first (less than RM100 if done outside SC). If not, could be clutch - change clutch will cost about RM1.5K because they need to take the engine out. I have the same issue, but had to live with it as no budget yet, drive slowly lor sweat.gif

Vios CAN tapau City, but not easily. I own an IDSI and my friend drove a Vios (auto), i can say both are in the same range, both of us floored and seems City have the pickup from start (0-60) which leads the Vios, but then Vios catches up and matched side to side. If VTEC City I think can tapau Vios but not easily oso lor.

Sorry to intrude... old honda city owner here (not 4G that is) tongue.gif

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.... sad.gif

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 hmm.gif

So want to check with you sifu-sifu if can advice me on this.... icon_question.gif

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?

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 sweat.gif

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. biggrin.gif

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. whistling.gif

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. mad.gif
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 shakehead.gif

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? sweat.gif
