Have you replaced the fuel filter and catalytic converter detailed clean at 80k km? If not do it from Honda 3S.
As for the sound get it checked at 3S.

Fuel filter was replaced at 80k. I went to honda city lahore however nobody told me there that i need tk do anything with catylic converter. So i should aks them to clean the converter, do 3s do that ?

Yes they do. One is light package costs around 1100 the other one is detailed costs above 5k. Do the detailed.

Also sometimes tappet adjustment is not made proper. Get it rechecked.

"4) When car is at idle and stopped, I turn on the AC, I head a sound sort of like khar khar (faint sound). As soon as i press accelerator a little or car starts running in first gear the sound disappears."

Same problem with my car - Also, it is there only in the morning (when the car has been off for at least 7~8 hours).Do share if you find the bug, and its solution!

Ok, so sound problem from engine is resolved. Did some digging my self too and by the time I took it to Honda i was also pretty sure what the problem was. It was the rear wheel bearing. Got it replaced and the sound is gone. Now I hope the average issue should also be resolved but I am monitoring. Since the bearing was bad so I think it might have introduced some friction in tire resulting in little bit more engine load and thus the decreasing average.

@lazers Did it also resolve this issue?

What could be the reason for 8 gen civic prosmatec 80k, not reaching the top speed. It goes uptill 185 pretty easily but after that it struggles and ends at 192 even that on a down slope before it used to go more than that. Can spark plugs be the culprit because they are never changed or the fuel filters please guide.

Strange enough, I have not noticed the sound when I turn on AC. Somehow it is gone, will let you know if I hear it again. As I said previously it was random and quite faint. What about you, how audible is the sound and is it still there ?

noobie (noobie) 2017-08-09 16:31:29 +0500 #2858

Nope, it's still there and it's slightly different issue - The sound (kar kar - and its very loud) only comes when the car is cold (e.g early morning) and when I change gear from Neutral to any other gear - After I actually start driving the car, it goes away after like 10 seconds or so.

lazers (lazers) 2017-08-09 16:35:20 +0500 #2859

Have u checked by lifting the hood. Can it be some belt which squeeks when cold and once it warms up or engine revs then it does not give sound.

noobie (noobie) 2017-08-09 16:47:34 +0500 #2860

Yes, I did but couldn't figure it out - I did take it to 3s a few times but they couldn't test/figure it out as the issue is there only when you start it in the morning so will probably leave the car with them overnight so they can check in the morning.

Hello Guys.
I am from Lahore. My dad has a 2009 Civic Oriel Prosmatec. It has the genuine 6cd changer PRE with the three chrome buttons n all.
I would like to have it with cruise and steering mounted audio controls.
Please guide on:
1. Where can i get them?
2. How much can i get them for?
3. Where to get them installed from?
4. Does installation require any wires to be cut. I am actually scared of cars burning up and dont want an electrical issue with the car as the car is 150,000Kms old and still running strong.
