sooner or later you may need to change the all 4 mounts in your car 1 each for right & left 1 each for transmission rear & front for better performance stick to OEM mounts so stability of car is not compromised

no bro this is some different type of vibration which is only occurring in the morning and only in reverse.

did you even read it..........

its says [I]''my car started showing vibrations during cold start and it was really bad and vigorous while doing reverse and it use to go away after say initial 1-2 km run.''

[/I]then[I] ''Vibration completely gone and more effective braking now''

Irfan this is the same issue have a look at your hydraulic mount, u can get a hydraulic mount from PKR 3500 other than honda outlet

Honda is asking PKR 12500 for this.

this is a very common problem in 8th gen civic.

Oh sorry bro i mixed with another article of same type, just read it and now convinced that its the engine mount which is causing this problem. but one technical thing i dont understand is that why is it happening only in the morning and only in reverse whereas whole day my car is parked outside my office & when in the evening approximately after 8 hours when i start my car things stays normal no abnormality in reverse or any other thing.

so like what is it which is different in the morning !!!! its not even cold in karachi, so cant say cold start !!!!!!!!

It doesnt seems to be the mounting problem brother....is ur car on petrol or CNG?....if its on CNG then understand it that every automatic car comparatively more vibrate on R than in D...secondly check ur air filter..if its badly choke then this problem emerges..replace the air filter and then check..and lastly dont think too much about these kind of problems in cars.....

bro airfilter is new, car is purely on petrol driven 35k only, i dont know first i thought it was breaks problem got them checked and serviced everything was fine in the braking system. so now the only thing which is remaining is the damn engine mount apparently it looks ok to me but as per the article posted above its internal hydraulic failed which causes different sort of vibrations in the car. exact same problem which is mentioned in the article is happening with me, the car gets normal as soon as the engine temp reaches the optimum level.

had the exact same problem. Replaced the engine mounting, everything is back to perfect. One more thing DO NOT go for the cheaper solutions, you will regret it BIG TIME. Only use genuine parts, they eventually pay off.

ok thanks
yaar spending 13k on a mount is too much, i heard Thailand one is also of good quality, whereas Chinese ones are craps.

choklate (choklate) 2012-11-01 09:07:05 +0500 #27

the choice is totally yours. I did the very same, got the Thai one for 4k. the ride was still bumpy and vibration was very much there. And to my surprise it was totally useless within a month. Got the original one for 9k in a special deal. Got it fitted for 500 and my ride is as good as before. The rest as I said is totally your choice. BUT YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Public Msg

A bad mount will put more stress on the other ones and take them out prematurely. If you have a bad mount, replace it as soon as possible.

@choklate

Guys as you all mentioned YES the culprit was the engine mount, on inspecting i saw that the mount was completely broken so replaced it on saturday and now car is back to normal i haven't drove much but car seems to be normal.

on my mechanic recommendation i took a risk and bought Thailand made mount not the N.O.K one which are flooded in the market, but International Rubber company Thailand mount.

rest i am uploading pixs soon
