in that case. you also need sanding to get a show car finish. find someone who can spray the paint with minimal orange peel and get it done in a paint booth. sanding and compound is absolutely necessary if you want something that looks even better than original

Paint booths charge a lot why not make a desi paint booth using gas heaters. Ofcourse they do the sanding after applying the paint. But the defects they leave are, too much thinner in the paint resulting in too thin layer, not properly rust proofing the car before paint.

heating isn't the only issue, the problem is the dirt. as for the sanding well you can do it yourself if you have the time practice that on the old paint first.the painters actually use too agressive sandpaper. detailers on the other hand start with 2500 grit sand paper and end with 5000 grit. with 5000 grit the paint starts giving weak reflections even before compound. and compound should be done by buffer. going through this will cost you more than a regular paint job but it will be something special

I have downloaded the manual for 2002 to 2005 Honda FIT JAZZ which is similar to Honda City 2003-2005.

I am uploading it on putlocker and will be pasting the link here for you to download. @ahmadbila please add this in first post so that people can download it at there comfort.

EDIT:

The file has been uploaded. Its the same as mentioned by nouman here. No torrents.

Another question coming up
whats the stock speaker size (front & rear) in a Honda City Idsi

I dont know that! @rollonbigmama recently got speakers for his car. may be he ll be able to answer this one.

[fahadsoulsnatcher911]

When changing the panel make sure that primer or rust proof coating is applied on undersides of the panel. You must have seen the modern car factories videos they dip the entire car carcass to coat it completely, you cannot do that but atleast can apply primer before welding the piece.
Another try to take the materials in your hand like contract with the painter only for labour and buy paints yourself, take him along. From experience I have learned that no matter how much you pay them they always save in material, resulting in quality compromise.
I am telling you because in near future I also will be going for some bodywork and I intend to the same. Already have collected info like, how much a litre paint costs, a litre top coat and primer cost.

Point Noted
i'll buy the material myself and will try to get my car painted in a booth
Any idea which companies paint were originally used to paint the car and whats the colour code of a silver Honda City 2004

These are the spark plugs recommended for L12A Engine i.e. Honda City (2003 to 2008) PKDM
BKR 6E-11 (NGK)

recently I used NGK bkr 6e-11y. Because I had already seen that in the manual. 6 is the heat range and 11 the socket size

can u please explain what these numbers mean? i mean what does 6 means? how much heat can it take bla bla?

AOA friends...
I have been reading this thread for a week and really appreciate support in resolving each others vehicle issuse.
I purchased Honda City AT 2011 model last week and its 40K odo.
My concern is about its fuel consumption which comes 10 or max 11 with AC and light foot on accelerator i.e rpms below 2.5K
This city has been maintained at Honda Dealership and only modification from stock is tyres i.e bridgestone AR10 195/60/15

Would really apprecite your expert opinion how can i improve mileage OR if its because of AT should i go for change to Manual or not...
Looking forward for your prompt responses...

can u please explain what these numbers mean? i mean what does 6 means? how much heat can it take bla bla?

This number means the heat range of the plug. The higher the number the plug can operate under higher heat and lower the number the plug can operate under lower heat. Higher heat means very aggresive driving like racing and mountain drive with heavy load, and lower heat means our daily drive in baba mode. What happens if you mismatch
1 Too hot a spark plug, and you will have carbon fouling on your plug. As the hotter the plugs are smaller the ceramic insulator so as run your car in lower heat with hotter plugs the temperature loss will be great, and the mixture wont ignite properly. you can also call that number the index of heat dissipation the higher the number the greater will be heat dissipation. So if a plug with greater heat dissipation is used in a low heat engine application the temperature of mixture will remain below threshold. Every plug has a specific heat range at which it operates its best so a hotter plug i.e a plug with higher numbers i.e 6.7.8 will have higher operating temperatures than that of lower like 3,4,5 thus it will operate at higher heat condition more easily

2 Too cold a spark plug and you will have melted plug electrode, because the colder plug i.e with lower number has bigger ceramic insulator, thus the electrode remains hotter than that of hotter plugs. The already hot electrode when coupled with high heat of combustion chamber will cause the electrode temperatures to rise and electrode will melt. Also a colder spark plug has a lower ideal operating temperature than hotter plugs.

Hot plugs mean the plugs with higher numbers
Cold plugs mean the plugs with lower numbers

This 4,5,6,7 is not universal

Denso use 16,20,22 etc But the order remains same lower the number colder the plug, higher the number hotter the plug. Actually confusing thing is that this hot and cold name drives itself from not only the operating temperature of the plug but also from heat of engine application.

Another thing is that research has proven a change in tip temperature change of around 70-100 C with a change in single grade in heat range. Like moving from 5 to 6 in case of NGK or 16 to 20 in case of denso

I hope I made my point clear.

My car got painted and its almost ready to drive on de road after a long time... Cant wait to drive it. Just fitting of lights and other things are remaining. He had painted the car 3Days back. And till now he havnt smoothen the surface of car ( I guess its good as paint will get stick to it more harder if it gets more heat or sunlight to dry ) . I guess he usses sand paper to smooth it and making it ready for polishing etc. Interior cleaning is left dash board coloring and wheel too. I brought some of the parts for my car which i think is correct while getting it fitted at this time.
1- I brought new spoiler with a light in it. ( Still not painted yet )
2- Mud flap. 1 side of my mud flap is missing i dont know how but it got missing so i cant get one piece of it so i had to buy the whole set.
3- Gola . I guess u guys know what is gola. Its a desi term . I brought it as one was stolen and the other was broken .
4- New front grill meesh while crome plate on it . Even the bonnet part .
5- Antenna . I have brought a new antenna as it was half broken
6- Spark Plug . Brought new 8 NGK spark plug ( BKR5E-11 )
7- Done my car maintaince . Changed oil,oil filter , air filter coolent , break oil and gear oil . Service all the 4 break pads

He had also painting the inner side of all the 4 doors with an anti rust coating and also painting the open areas like the foot area and out lines of doors and also inner side of bonnet .
Need some more suggestions how to make it QUEEN and making it look royal and make it feel driving like royal

Guys i need a little help here. Yesterday i was driving at night when i smelt something burning in the car. I tried to locate the source from where the smell is coming but could not identify so i kept driving and after a little while the headlights turned off. The full beam was working but headlights went off. Anyways i took the car to the electrician today and told him the problem he identified straight that it is the dipper problem(headlight assembly). The car is 2006 city with 66K on odometer.

He told me that either replace the whole assembly(as it is not possible to repair this one) or there is another way to plug in two relays and the headlight will start working again. The guy also told me that this problem has been reported in city many times. So if thats the case has anyone experienced this sort of problem here?

Also let me know which is more appropriate solution to go for the full assembly change of simple bypass the system and adjust relays?
Or whether the assembly can be repaired or not?
Thanks.

Something similar happened to my Honda city 2005 in year 2011. I replaced the original 50W head lamp bulbs with 90W. The electrician told me it won't have any problem and no need to install relays, and I beleived him. Yet the the wiring in the steering/hi-lo beam dipper assembly got burned within 2days and I felt the same burning smell. So went to a very good electrician who advised the same to replace the assembly. I asked him to try to repair the original one. He did repair it but the dipper lever didn't function properly afterwards. It got stiff and I was never comfortable using hi-lo beams during night travelling.
My sincere advise, try to find a used assembly (Aka kabuli one) from Sulta da khoo or city saddar road and use it instead of going for the repair.

Hi,
Goto Peshawar more G-9 backside. There will be Nazir Electrician shop opposite big mosque. He will fix it in 400. This is a common problem in 2k6-8 models. Faced it two times. There is a dipper switch inside the assemble which he fixes.

Thanks bro i was thinking the same because i just confirmed from the honda classic they said the new switch assembly cost 4700 and labour charges are 800. But i m not sure about the kabli one because if its a problem in the car then u never know how long its going to last.

Thanks bro for suggestion but if i get it fixed will it last for some time?By the way r u satisfied with the fixation u got?
I dont want kay it only last for couple of days and then it start showing problems again...
