What in the worlds name have you all been smoking???
@ahmadbila @rollonbigmama
All this happening right under your nose??? :S
Not good.

Better use caltex transmission oil for idsi. Or you can go for genuine mtf by honda which is way too expensive. FYI honda recommends thinner grade transmission oil n even states is their idsi manual that if MTF isnt available, motor oil of 10w40 can be used instead.

Honda MTF is about 1.1k per litre. And the iDSI takes about 1.8L. Yes, only 1.8L on a normal drain. If changing it at 60~80K Kms is expensive, then God knows whats cheaper.

Plz tell me, when the 1st oil change should be done after break in period? I mean after how much kilometers? Honda dealership says after 1000km, but I read on some international website that it should be changed after 1st 3000~5000km, because engine is filed with special oil from Honda factory.
2ndly, is new city equipped with AC cabin filter?
is Honda genuine oil is good enough? Any suggestions regarding which Honda oil should be used?
Thanks,

Your car is still under warrenty and you are worried if Honda Engine Oil is good enough?? You want to risk warrenty with some other option??
Dont ask the dealership. Just go with the service manual Honda gave you with the car.

Hello to all, I am driving Honda City 2014 with stock tyres and I want to change tyres because of the following issues:

1. Road Clearance (more height, good road clearance especially when driving with 5 ppl on board)
2. Fuel efficiency (more circumference, less rounds per min and less fuel consumption)
3. Comfort (more width, more shock tyres will absorb and more comfortable ride becomes)

What tyres (size and model) would you suggest and why?

I am simply stunned about your concepts of tyres and thier expected benefits. May I suggest some tractor tyres??? Like the ones used in Massey Ferguson?? Hopefully they shall meet all your needs.

Misconecptions:
1. Road Clearance (more height, good road clearance especially when driving with 5 ppl on board)
Tyres dont behave like shock/damper spacers. If you try to increase profile as an excuse to increase height, you will most likely hit the wheel arch when fully loaded with 5 people.

2. Fuel efficiency (more circumference, less rounds per min and less fuel consumption)
Physics and Thermodynamics dont work in the way as imagination can say. Each car has all the aspects covered in design phase about the target cruise speed, target rpm range, target timing and fueling maps for best economy and optimum resposne. You change that and you drive the car in a range NOT IN ITS OPTIMUM BAND.

Ofcourse this happens all on a microlevel sometimes. But it wont bring any good mileage.

3. Comfort (more width, more shock tyres will absorb and more comfortable ride becomes)
Referring to Point #2, The terms FUEL Efficiency and MORE Width, dont sound right together. Thats a short answer to this misconception.

It should be. My experience is abit different. I had some broken bearings in my gearbox so I went to fix it. I took 2 litres of honda mtf with me but my gearbox mechanic refused to take it, instead he insisted me to buy caltex transmission oil my gearbox. According to him, it was better then honda mtf

I am sure your mechanic must be educated and qualified enough about the subject of friction modifiers
and other additives added by each manufacturer for their specific vehicles. It does take a sound knowledge to discredit an OEM product (oil in this case) right???

Yes CALTEX makes good products. But this is no excuse to use it when you have OEM available.

I'm experiencing slight barring noise. Generator barring is what honda 3S said although it has absolutely no effect on everyday drive.
3S asks for replacement n honda pitstop says change whenever you want to as it won't hurt the car.
My question is why replace, can't it be repaired? Also why would it noise in first place?

If only there existed a world where bearing could be repaired (A)
Janab, please google what a bearing is. Then search about where its put in an alternator. Then search about how to replace in case of failure. And finally THINK about whether you'ld want to install a REPAIRED bearing after all the effort???

You should be lucky there is an option of bearing replacement. What if the manufacturer asked you to replace the whole alternator??

It can be easily replaced by a good auto electrician. One reason for breakage of generator bearing can be a sudden bump on speed breaker. This happened to me last year in my idsi

appreciate your reply... unlike few who r meant to be ignored...
btw did you experience a slight noise/significant noise in it or it failed to work altogether after the bump?

thanks

Bro i did not drove much on euro star (only 100 KMs) but as city is tooo soundless car thats why i was experiencing tyre sounds while at 80km/hr. Secondly i was getting a good exchange price thats why i went for it... now the sounds are finished... car has become much softer than before.. its worth it coz the main thing in a car is its tyres... believe me i have not even installed seatcovers till now but have changed that tyres..My advice and experience is its worth it.

[biloo]

To be honest , i have a very good experience with eurostars. They are not that bd as much as they are percieved to be atleast for the initial 30k km run . The prob with city is its hard suspension which smetimes makes me go towards a beter n softer tyre such as the 1s uve got. They are one of the best ones available out there.

[biloo]

And enjoy the new seats, get the covers when the originals get dirty!

[beelkhan]

Enjoying the new car all together bro..... Thanks

Holy smokes!!!! I never knew THIS would happen when I am away from the thread unfortunately i am too busy in my job and other work that i rarely get time to even visit pakwheels.

Guys please don't ruin this thread, we ve given years of our life to put priceless information in this thread and now you saying tires with more circumference will give better mileage bla bla

If you want ANY kind of information, just put the keywords in the thread search option and u ll see that we havent left ANYTHING out of discussion... everything from the plug gap required to chassis design etc is covered...

Got My Honda City 1.3 MT Registered From ISB. Thought of mentioning the Cost.. Might be Helpfull for anyone:

2 % of the Vehicle Cost: 30400
Token Tax per Seat @ 96: 384
Income Tax: 3000
Number Plate Charges: 900
Application Form: 10
Scanning Fee/Archivers Window: 550

Thats about it. Plus a couple of photocopies costing 45 and a file cover 20. Total End to end cost spent: 35309/- and you are good to go. Took me 2 hours. One of my friend stood in National Bank Counter Line, while i did the other stuff (Form F and Inspection Stuff). By the time i finished he was almost done.

[Shimud]

How do you guys compare the build quality of the current generation city, while comparing those manufactured during 2009 and during subsequent years? I fell it was better during 2009-2012. You tend to agree or not? And this comparision is looking at both interior and exterior of the car.
