10th Generation Civic Owners/ FanClub Discussion Thread

[shaffs]

Sometimes i wonder if someone from Honda management is on this group. I mean in the world of social media i am sure they are aware of all the bashing, and these morons just ignore it. They never release a public statement regarding these faults. And their marketing disaster is prominent with the launch of the Turbo Oriel. I mean they had a Turbo and then they a had an Oriel, and somebody from their team suggested 'hey, why not mix the two and launch Turbo Oriel'. There should be a case study on Honda and Suzuki's stupid strategies in Pakistan.

This oriel turbo is equipped with L mode in cvt..wnhrereas pre-facelift Turbo and RS doesn't have L mode..so whats the story.. oriel turbo sharing 1.8 oriel transmission? or both are same transmissions except this one having L as well just because of no paddle shifters.
Owner manual states different quantity of cvt fluid for oriel and Turbo versions(pre-facelift).

[jklodhi]

I believe this is due to No paddle shifters

With same gear box as in 1.8

I would prefer the L mode over the useless pedals.

AoA PWers.

I have a 2016 Civic 1.8 Oriel driven 24K up til now. Around a year back i faced a problem with regards to the A/C. Somehow it lost all the refrigerant gas and stopped working. I went to a AC technician and got the gas filled again. The A/C kept on working fine for 6 months and then i parked for 6 months and did not use it. However, today when i went for a drive it has again done the same.
Just wanted to know if anyone else has faced this issue and what could be done to prevent the leakage again. The A/C compressor turns on but the vents do not throw cold air.
Although my car is 2016 but i got extended warranty till August 2020.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated.

look like your AC evaporator is leaking gas, its common problem in Civic X 2016 model. Do get it replace from Honda.

[devilz_apprentice]

Evaporator or condenser?
Evaporator is under the dashboard and condenser is in front of the radiator

[salik990]

yes evaporator under dashboard behind glovebox, i had replaced it too last year on my civic 2016 model.

[devilz_apprentice]

Does it require complete disassembly of the dashboard or just the glove box?

[salik990]

yep, removal of whole dashboard, do send to Honda dealer and they will replace it under warranty as you have extended your warranty.

[highroller]

Isn't extended warranty for 3 years?

[ali_77]

Can we extend 2 year warranty to 3 or 4 years after buying?

[khuram2703]

At the time of delivery yes

[ali_77]

what about some time after delivery e.g after 1 year?

[jklodhi]

Not possible

[khuram2703]

Is this the infamous steering rack problem ? This sounds different than others and I have seen a lot of videos regarding the steering rack noise. It only happens when the car is stationary and the steering is fully rotated. Car is 2017 model with 30k km driven.

[ali454]

Sadly Yes.
