Humming all the time? Sometimes tires will also have humming "wong wong" sound when going through certain type of road surfaces. Mine does, so hopefully this is not because of the wheel bearing lah.

Trust me it is! If continue making this aeroplane sound and not only on certain surface...confirmed liao.. To check, the mechanic will jack-up your car and feel the vibration when the manually turn the wheel.. If vibration can be feel, confirm whell bearing kaput dy. Civic 8th gen suffered from wheel bearing problems on the rd yr of ownership. This is very common and lotsa workshops knew it wth so many Civic Gen 8th came in & complained...

BTW, for 8th Gen civic, esp wth Hydraulic power steering (1.8)...better change the power steering fluid every 50K km bcos that also another fast kaput parts..I got qouted >RM3K to replace my whole system!! I din changed the fluid since day one till kaput on the 4th yr!! ...The hose itself cost me RM1300 to replace last year & I have not change the pump yet!!

p/s: BTW, power steering kaput symptom also having the almost similar humming sound!! ...Replacing to 100% leak free fluid help in reducing the humming sopund & also the leak. I sold off the car b4 getting the power steering replaced..phewww..lucky..This post has been edited by stimix: Jul 27 2011, 09:32 AM

heard that the new civic 2012 will be released end of this year...is this true?

I think so. Normally they release it a bit earlier.

There should be pictures of the JDM car by now, but it's delayed because of the earthquake. The US version, however, left quite a bit to be desired especially the tail lights.

so whoever bought the car after that is gonna cry..

Thanks!!! Looks like i will hold my Accord purchase then...planning to get Civic hybrid 2012

im going to have my 1st service in honda sc..but i bought 2nd hand 1..
current mileage is 35k but the ex-owner already service for 35k before the mileage reached..so now i need to service for 35k or 40k ?
which items in the service list i can skip or take out ?

Altis also have this so called aeroplane sound around 80kph. After around 110kph, the sound disappear. Maybe it's because of the wind sound being greater than the aeroplane sound. Do you think it's the wheel bearing problem as well? Which is same as Civic.

since this is the civic thread... i will share this vid of my car in SIC last saturday (30/7/2011) and also the engine going kaboom

Hardcore! My Civic is more like family car

What is your mileage when this happened?

the 1st one ~ 90K km and the 2nd ~ 110K km

Ic... I changed my vios 03 rear bearing pass two year mileage 70k km only. Toyota also the same. Honda fd really that bad nvh and quality? Cos I'm considering between civic 1.8 or jazz.

yes.. civic launched by year end..

anyone know where to get this Bluetooth Phone System in malaysia?
