10th Generation Civic Owners/ FanClub Discussion Thread

Dear Bro!!!

You would have been telling the truth but here the car looks to be modified if u see the tail pipes and user looks to be a drag racer and most probably he would have modification on engine side also........
Honda Fort's Owner is using White Turbo and has mileage approx 30000km..... no issues
Bhai Formula one ka engine bhi 1 race mein farigh ho jata hai......

I agree that you would have a geniune problem........even such kind of problems comes in corollas also.....I had a faulty steering column in my Grande, A friend's CVT gear box of Grande replaced under warranty @ 5000km approx......

Thats why a warranty is given other wise new things should have Guaranty rather than warranty.......

Lets see i sold my Grande and going to get delivery of my Black Turbo.......I will not go for even a single modification and will get an extended warranty 4 years / 100000km.....package.......

will update all fellows accordingly.....

even in my Honda city steering check light comes randomly during first 10000kms.....and ultimately after several visits of city sales they arranged a factory engineer and ultimately my electronic power steering module replaced........they were saying it this problem comes once in a while but unluckily my car was one of it......

In your case i suspect it to be a Bake hold assist or electronic brake module malfunction.........

[khuram2703]

Bro !!!

Don't make them waste your precious time.......Just force them to get appointment from Factory engineer...and tell them to take the diagnostic code screen shot and send it to factory.....They will come up with a soultion of changing a specific module.....
for further clarification.....you can call me for a bit more guidance.....as i had encountered the same type of problem with my Honda City 2012-2016.

same kind of thing they have done with me by resetting with the help of diagnostic tool.

Honda point kay ilawa Honda Gateway.....Ashar.....a very nice thorough gentleman with great knowledge

Good spotting Sir, indeed there seem to be modifications. The exhaust is definitely modified and looks like a catback. If that's just the exhaust there may have been more stuff including a race chip for sure.

Someone I know has seen this car and he says it is the only one they have and the many cars statement is an exaggeration as per what he has witnessed at City Sales. And according to him this car is 25k used and that too very roughly and abused. In this 25k the oil on this car has only been changed once.

[arkhitekt]

Point is very close to my place. I live near Airport and that has been my always go to workshop more than Fort now. So have developed heavy PR with all their staff

[suneelmunj]

@arkhitekt i met atleast 5 ppl there with engine problems i have name and numbers of all of em will be
sharing the info with blog team soon .
and the problem is not restricted to 1.5 only ..the varainat 1.8 on which i shoot the review of honda for pakwheels is hardly 300 km driven its battery and horn have been giving problem from day 1 and if u think thats a minor defect and is expected to come in 2.7 million invoiced car i have a surprise for u ...
its break discs have been giving noise a weird one and the owner has tried honda point / city sales and now he has finally decided to sell the car ..mind u it wil be 3rd honda x gen that this gentleman is selling in past one year ..l

I went for a 5000 kms checkup yesterday and my car's battery was all dried up. Not sure why the battery is drying up this quickly.

[arkhitekt]

We seriously need to uncover all such information. The guy who told me he saw this car at City sales has a totally opposite information.

And 3 cars sold in 10 months since launched? Ouch... That must have hurt. If I would have faced such issues I would have stayed away after the second experience at most and never looked back at Honda again. Waiting and keeping my fingers crossed to see how long it lasts. If I start facing issues down the lane, bye bye Honda it will be and I will not hesitate to badmouth them at all.

We also need light on the battery issue. This is indeed getting common and common and something is definitely wrong apparantly. I am seeing too much battery complaints and cars going dead all of a sudden. Fine its summers or whatever but batteries shouldn't be drying this way like they are doing in X. Never experienced such a thing in any other car ever. This needs to be figured out if its the battery itself having pathetic quality or something else.

And its kind of worrying now because I don't wanna end up stranded somewhere odd and car not starting. If the reliability isn't there its a major issue. Specially with family and in summers.

May be there is any kind of system which is consuming battery even after switching off the engine.....any possibility?

[suneelmunj]

i read on some blogs that the battery issueis due to over charging fault in denmo

[Zish79]

well....found some useful article on battery drains...it's likely the case of Civic X i.e keyless entry..it might be the culprit...

"PROXIMITY KEYS

Lots of new cars are available with proximity keys. They're a great convenience—all you need to do is walk up to your locked car with the key in your pocket or purse. As you approach the door, the locks pop open automatically. Plunk yourself in the seat and, with the key still in your pocket, thumb the starter button and drive away.

Guess how these things work. There's a radio receiver that continuously listens for the key's frequency. When the receiver hears a signal at its assigned frequency, it wakes up to see if the key is the one that matches the car. That draws more current for a minute or two, until the receiver abandons the possibility that it's about to unlock the door for master. This might be an issue if you leave the car parked for many weeks without starting it. Imagine the confusion of a car parked near the elevator door in a busy parking structure. Every proximity key that walks past makes it sit up and beg, draining your battery for a few minutes. Soon, dead battery.

This issue is even more profound in the case of hybrids like the Toyota Prius. The key receiver operates on 12 volts, as do most of the accessories. More importantly, the 12-volt battery operates the main computer that controls everything else, like the door locks. The Prius starter, however, operates off the 280-volt traction battery—but the main computer has to be powered up for anything to happen. Since it doesn't have to start the engine, the 12-volt battery of the Prius is very small, 38 ampere-hours. So while a 64-ampere-hour battery in a normal car can last for weeks of a proximity receiver checking for the right key, the Prius battery can run too low within a few days. Bottom line: Turn off the proximity-key function, from the Prius's electronic dashboard, whenever you're parking it longer than overnight. It might be possible to do this on other vehicles as well. Check the owner's manual."

good find the second thing i found about battery was this key ..lets c wat happens today as last week they said the car is oerfectly fine now but the warnings came up yesterday ..strange thing is that they disappera as soon as u restart the car again ,and u never know thwy can show up after 1 km or not show for couple of days before showing up again .

[salik990]

most of the turbo civic owners has changed at 5000km, but i changed earlier at 2500km coz i prefer 5w30 oil for hot summer weather.

[aliabbassyed]

I think I will also go for it. I think 0w20 oil currently in my car.

[arkhitekt]

@suneelmunj and @Zish79

I am gonna do an experiment with the battery swap it and see results of another battery in my car and this battery in some other car. Will post the results in a week or 10 days as that's the time it drops level a bit. My car yet hasn't given me any starting trouble at all in the last 10 months but battery is supposed to deteriorate with time and I will explore this possibility if its the car or the battery.

[arkhitekt]

As far as my knowledge goes. 5w30 was fine for 1.8 and Honda recommended oil for 1.5 Turbo is 0w20.

[khuram2703]

Stick to to oil recommendations for Turbo and 1.8 respectively to get your warranty intact as it is recommended by OEM...

[khuram2703]

Bro I told you before same thing was happened with me..........the related module diagnosed faulty which got replaced.
