Just doubting on the look after Kalam (color difference and odd looks). Plus honda (dont know why) suggested that kalam on metal is not recommended.

[harisworld13]

Kalam is a way to avoid repainting my suggestion would be to try it... in case you dont like it you can go for repainting the panel its not a big issue seems ok from the pic you shared for kalam touchup but let the dealer painter do it or if you know any other they can buff it after kalam to match n then polish it will look the same but depends on mood normally dealership guys say we cant do it we only repaint.

for less than 15k mileage honda recommends 0w20 now for all new vehicles

[fatehyabkamran]

Kindly tell is Daewoo hybrid DLS65 - 45 AH enough for 2500 cc vehicle

[farooqk80]

which vehicle are you talking about

[ali.qamar.372]

I m using 0w20 in my oriel 2017 mileage is 60000 km change interval is 10000 km oil is mobil 1 car avg is 11.8 km/litre driven totally on hi octaine daily drive is 50 kms
What harm can 0w20 can do?

[harisworld13]

Im just talking about the recommendations by manufacturer to keep the warranty intact before they were using 5w30 for oriel and 0w20 for turbos only. Late 2020 model warranty books for all Honda vehicles state 0w20 for less than 15k mileage and later 5w30.
In terms of fuel consumption its better using 0w20 thou not sure if its good to use it after 40k mileage as well

My car had the exactly same situation at exactly same spot. This can be easily dry dented, then wetsanded slightly and compounded to reduce the visual impact of paint damage. Off all the places in the world a company dealership is the worst place for dry denting. Dry denting is an art, a skill and not a simple job. The word dry denting doesn’t exist for those immature laid back workers and staff at dealerships as it requires patience and needs time. Their main interest is doing jobs which are standard and require less skill.

I would suggest visit a desi workshop for dry denting. Honda prefers to replace the whole part and if you insist they agree on repainting the existing part.

Even their paint job is really poor now. Not properly done at all these days. On top of that, add the nakhras - "bohat busy hein 3 to 4 days lagay gein" for a small job and then quickly agreeing to one day if they have some personal incentive
There are a lot of good denters/painters who will happily do the job, in less time, in a better manner and without sort of claiming that they did you a huge favor by taking your car

[muhammad.taqi.87]

Wow... My first thought was to go for dry dent but yes! "Dry Dent" is alien thing for Honda

By chance, if you are from Karachi, any recommendation for expert will be appreciated.

TIA

[muhammad.taqi.87]

Lol yeah! Honda asked to keep my car for 5 day just to fix this one dent.

[arkhitekt]

[harisworld13]

Very well done... all are valid points
Missed the AC cooling on back seats is compromised due to the front bucket seat size and the height of passenger seat is too low which need height adjustment to be provided by Atlas

Most likely in 2022 as focus is on city now

Need some advice. I'm about to book a new Civic Oriel. I'm wondering about leather seats and navigation.
Does it make sense to have them installed from Honda for approx. 130,000 or do I have better options.
I prefer keeping my cars stock, so I wouldn't want anyone messing with the dashboard just to install nav or mess up the seats for seat covers.

[omaruser156370259465]

The fabric seats are better than leather handsdown. However, driving a car nowadays without a rear/front camera especially with the heavy traffic and congested parking spots would be very difficult even for experienced drivers. I'd suggest buying a non UG and putting an aftermarket pioneer system with better speakers on in less than half the money for UG package upgrade plus you get the better fabric seats as well. In case, you want to keep your car stock and want to avoid removing dash etc for the screen, then get the UG. Changing the infotainment system would void the warranty though.

[jklodhi]

Get oriel with navigation.

You can get good quality seat covers from Market
