Honda City 05 overhaul

[ateeqsundhu]

i agree! L12a2 is the exact code u shud be looking at. even l13a does just fine n wud be a little bit more powerful but im not sure if all the sensors n everything from l12 wud work well on l13. thats why, the original L12 is a safer bet.

Dear Ahmadbila i've been regular follower of ur threads / replies which are great and helpful though with lots ov technical terms which i dont quite understand. same is the case with L12, L13 pls explain wats these and how can i check same for my ride. i have city 2005 automatic and need to either overhaul or replace engine as per mechanics inside / outside Honda. Its driven 127K.

Although the question was not asked from me but still I will answer it.
Dont go for overhaul you will get the complete engine alongwith head, block assembly, throttle, coils and every sensor new in 20k plus your engine.
L12 is 1248 cc
L13 is 1332 cc
But you wont feel any real difference in ride quality in daily drive but yes on motorway L13 easily climbs salt range in 3rd & 4th with fully loaded car and yes another thing is that L13 is more fuel efficient than L12 I dont know why

Dear so what did you do with your ride finally, change or overhaul? and in any case howz the ride performing now? i have to either change or overhaul the engine as per mechanics kindly suggest based on experience.

Sorry bro for the late reply. i had replaced the head assembly with same type from Honda Center. Although the cost was high, but it has been 4 years now and i never had to any issue of engine.. It is still smooth like a new engine. Only top up with Liqui Moly and drive.
