Memon Bhai, did you ever get the injectors of your idsi cleaned or changed? From what I know, Honda 3S guys don't offer injector cleaning at their workshops. I'll have to get it done from somewhere else. What do you suggest in this case, I mean should I go for it or drop the idea of injector problems altogether?

Secondly, the pump you're using in your car, what happens if fuel runs lower than a quarter while driving?
I remember Ahmad bhai also has the same pump installed in his car and he did mention some issues regarding fuel pressure being delivered to the engine.

and my brand new car keeps disappointing me again and again
Faults since i bought it zero meter last year (summary)

1. the khich khich sound from exhaust on high revs pushing the car to its limit......turned out to be faulty metallic ring in between 1st and 2nd stage of exhaust

2. sound of something lose from under the hood at very slow speed on bumps.....turned out that this cant go away as it is the sound of water moving in the washer fluid bottle (when emptied, the sound went away)

3. the husshhhhhh sound which comes when gear changed at high RPM.......still there, unsolved...Honda guys have absolutely no F***ing idea

4. front left headlight fused (low beam only)

5. latest fault yesterday....there is a periodic repeating click click sound from left door (repeats after every 5 seconds)...even with only ignition on, it is there....and today in the morning i realized that my left front door window is not working

bought the car last june....just one year, and this is what u get from zero meter cars....and remember.....i m an extreeeemeeellyy careful driver, very soft on the pedal, a hypermiller, very very slow on humps and bumps....never ever gas anyone even washed my car except me myself....i wonder what would have happened if i had misused it a little.....seriously thinking of selling it and getting an Axio now

Woah! Ye to acha khaasa LMAO ho gya waleed bhai.

Number 3 is a mystery, number 4 ki samaj nai aati why would that have happened? :S Number 5 is totally :o. I mean a power window dead?! At 12k kms or so I think? Dafuq!

I seriously don't know the level to which this car proved a nightmare for you. Meri wali to new hay khair but people have this car with mileages above 150k kms and their power windows are flawless.

Khair, you're lucky, get it fixed in warranty. As for the axio choice, well JDM is better but you never know if the car is original or not. I hope your car starts serving you better in the days to come, all we can say is its a man-made machine. Faults can occur without warning. Extremely sad by the way.

car has done around 23k kilometers i guess. its not that its a disaster, when it runs, it runs great. but i m just.....uumm....hurt u can say. and no the warranty is out as i have installed fog lights in it, so i guess i wud have to pay.....heavily that is

Still, what went wrong shouldn't have gone wrong, at least 'this' early. 23k kms is still nothing for a new car, its just over a year old. But well, we should be concentrating on how to fix by now.

So, did you check the window fuse? Wiring etc? Is the window rolled fully up or is it open since it went dead?

And for warranty, its a gloomy day. God knows what they'll charge for a window fix now. Do keep us posted whatever you plan on doing to fix it.

no havent yet checked the fuse yet, but there is this clicking sound coming from within the door. sounds liken some relay. and as i said, its periodic. like......Click Click (5 seconds gap) Click click (5 seconds gap)..and so on.

the window was rolled up completely...thankfully

yeah i know they are going to mint the money from me. lets see. i might take it to a normal electrician, but it KILLS me to rip apart the door panels they are virgin. for the same very reason i never installed remote alarm thingy in it but they are going to destroy it. went to them yesterday but tehy said they didnt have time as the official time has been reduced ttill 4 PM. lets see if i can manage a little earlier today. still in office though my boss just doesnt pick his _ _ _ up timely in Ramadan

I think its short circuit. May be due to humidity or water drops inside the door switch. Could be on the driver's side panel and could be on the left door's window switch as well. Because when you pull the switch to roll it up, and don't let go of it even if the window has rolled fully up, it produces this sound. There is some sort of circuit in the panel that cuts of current to the power window motor to prevent heating. May be the click click you hear is from that one, just a wild guess though.

Sound means there is something going on inside.

You can remove the fuse for sometime just to check if the circuit resets automatically. All the best for the visit, timings are a big problem in Ramadan Kareem, agree to that part. And yes, feelings mutual. Ripping apart the panel kills me as well, they cut open the plastic sheets just like barbers cut through hair.

I bought mine in Sept 2012 and now with 17k, your story making me feel bad for you as well as myself. So far I've no problem as such but who knows what happens by the time it clocks 23k. However, my last experience with Honda city was good though it was 2005-iDSI and i drove for 165k.
As for warranty, check with honda guys who might cover those issues in warranty as they have kept a provision for fog lamps in the front bumper including wiring too but it depends on how you installed the fog lamps.

Thank you Skt_74 for the mention. I usually take my city and civic to the Honda Airport. Usually it is oil/filter change or routine maintenance work. No complaints so far. Before moving to DHA I used to go to City Sales but my experience with them was not so good. They have too much work at hand and attitude is bad. I find Honda Airport way better.

[a_n_memon88]

I got that the moment I read your post, the arguments you made are perfectly valid though, Thanks a lot noman bhae!

Sorry, I might have missed that, can u please provide a link to that post of urs?

And what you mean is, the pump is bad? I thought its the filter that gets clogged over time?

There is no check light whatsoever showing up in the cluster. I'll get a diagnostic run on the car before they perform any job, i.e measuring the fuel pressure being delievered upto the engine. This car has been driven on petrol for over 90k kms as per my estimate, and the pump/filter etc hasn't been changed yet.

Actually the reason behind pump failure is definitely filter getting choked. The filter is just a made of a material similar to the net and is called fuel pump sock. Unfortunately the sock that comes with aftermarket fuel pump does not fit the pump and we are bound to use the old filter i.e sock. The plastic case has nothing inside that can clog I once opened the spare case that I had and it had nothing inside that can be blocked. There is only 1 important thing and that is FPR spring. Since your car has done 230k kms the pump surely would have gone weak. It is also working even when the CNG is in use, so I think now is the time to change.

P.S the thing I mentioned about fuel pump sock is only about after market pumps bought from open market. Honda genuine will cost a lot and its sock might fit but again the issue here is practicality I installed 800 rs pump and it worked I used to redline in 3rd gear at some 128km/hr and sometime back did redline in 4th so the pressure was good.

Sir! First of all, Its Great Pleasure for me by Mentioning U & Getting Response.

As far as I See Cleanest & Most Loved City 08 @ PW The First one comes in my mind is Aamir's Bhai RL or Ur Really Nicely kept STEERMATIC, So I thought Its Best TO mention Urs.

Moeed Thanks a lot for mentioning Missing RL & Lahore

As Anis bahi mentioned , I went to Qalma chok honda only once , they are very busy & wont give proper time to ride , seems to be in hurry all the time

I went to Honda pit shop , Johar town its less crowded & i have no complains with them :

I used to:

---Respect them
---Listen to them & their ideas ( but in the end do what manual says )
---Bought some 2 1/5L pepsi & some chips for the crew & eat 'n' drink in friendly environment
---Stay with your ride , if Manager said "Sir waiting area may bathainn " dont reply " mughay itbar nahee hay " said politely "I want to learn & get feedback for technician"

On the other hand some lucky Ppl have " Khandani type mechanics" & they always went to them , I used to have one in Islamabad & my father still went there

Sir MashaALLAH boht himat walay banday hain ap. I go to the workshops fully armed and loaded, just in case an 'ustaad' even tries to do something which seems to be a jugaaar but if the mechanic is gud, then he (his team) deserves the treatment that u used to give them....

Resolved. Went to my old time electrician. Problem was with the switch on the right hand door. The switch which controlled the left front window was stuck in the down position, and the upper movement was free. When you use these buttons, they do click click on their up and down movement when you press them, right, but in my case the upper movement was free. He opened the left front door first and when he touched the motor, it was super hot. So he assumed that the down button was continuously engaged. Then he opened the right door and the panel and indeed it was so. The upper motion was free. Just adjusted it and I was good to go. Paid him 500. Money well spent. Lol

today tried caltex havoline 5w40 in our city (2012 , 9k km run), car not driven much after the oil change though it felt more silent after the oil change. plan is to run it on this oil for 5k km. i hope it outperforms the honda synthetic oil (probably made by total)
