Honda Civic 8th Generation (Reborn) - Common problems

[saad.ikram.5688]

Yup OEM navigation is chinese unit so only the wiring from the clock spring to the LCD will do nothing more

[saad.ikram.5688]

Yup as long as its oriel version it can be done since oriel and non oriel had different clock springs.
Oriel one has option for multimedia button

thanks sir!!!

[moeezjaved2003]

shoud i get a new steering because my car's steering is not in a good condition and buttons are for 6000 and steering for 9200

[adnanniazi_2000]

Same with me. I am also in search of a newer/decent multimedia steering

[saad.ikram.5688]

From where are you getting a new steering in 9200
And steering wheel buttons you can get both sides (cruise too) in 3500 from Ali Express. Just remove the cruise buttons and use only the multi media ones

How to add the separate switches to the current steering wheel.

[saad.ikram.5688]

This is how you add the pins and wires for the steering wheel controls.

This guy added two wires which control all 5 functions (dont know how) my logic was you need 3 wires which can make 8 combinations (000,001,010,011,100,101,110,111) which are sufficient.
2 wires would make only 4 combinations (00,01,10,11)

But any how this video will show you how to add the wires and any good electrician who has done this before will know which pins are used and in this video the head unit used had combined plug which had the steering wheel pins inside it so he added them to the plug too.
For Grande infotainment system they are separate so easy to connect . No idea about civic oem system but electrician will know

I can refer you to electrician in Islamabad. Sarmad Motorpsorts (f-7 i think ) they have an electrician who will be able to do it but call them and ask to be sure

[moeezjaved2003]

thanks that's alot of help!!!!

cheers for that mate. f-7 must be a typo, f-7 dont have any mechanics. i believe you meant f-10.

Quick questions fellows,

Getting first oil change tomorrow, car has clocked 95k all dealership maintained but i do not like to get ripped of by the dealership. I believe R18 comes with the preference of 5W30. can i get Shell 5W30 or do i have to stick with total 5w30, because i have my doubts on total but shell is superb.

also the quantity at places i have read is precise 3.7, does it have to be followed 3.7 religiously or could be 4.0 (because some has said 4 ltr too LOOL)

[munirhusain]

I always go for Helix Ultra. Try and pour 90% of the can contents and then check the dip stick next morning. It doesn't have to be exactly 3.7L but close enough always works.

[Thinking]

total 9000 5w-30 is far superior than shell 5w-30.

stick with total.

total 5w-30 is fully synthetic. shell is not.

[hash737]

if i opt in for Liqui Moly 5w30 what category would it fall in (semi or fully synthetic)

because liqui moly classify it as just "Synthetic"

http://www.liqui-moly.com.pk/special-tec-aa-5w-30-4-litre

upon further research....LM does not come Fully synth 5w30 & just comes with the tag synthetic

http://www.liqui-moly.com.pk/fully-synthetic-engine-oil

[Thinking]

chor day bhai.

honda 5w-30 is also total 9000 5w-30. its the best and recommended oil and is in comperatively reasonable cost range.

change it at 5K interval and enjoy the ride. make sure u get the orignal box. pour in 3.7 litres.

[hash737]

for shell or total i would not be getting jerry can packing rather buy the exact amount.

in islamabad F-6 total pump (previously caltex) and Shell f-6 pump have engine oil silos with automated machines connected to them and you pay for whatever poured inside your car.

i have my serious, serious reservations on total 5w30 quartz. mainly due to it being a very filthy company because PARCO refinery runs it.

I have used shell before on my 7th gen civic & she loved it.

i believe shell is also doing 5w30 Fully Synthetic now...

[babaralinawab]

3.7litsrs exact
You can also go for mobil 1 5w30 around 3400
Castrol magnetic around 3000
Profi car eco drive 5w30 3300
All these are good engine oils
If you want to stay onnlocal brands go for none other than total 5w30 it also has a price tag of around 3100
Rest make choice wisely

[babaralinawab]

Nupes the blue bottle is still semi synthetic in pakistan
My l15 only liked the total oil

[babaralinawab]

Also its my practice to buy complete 4 liters than at 3000 km i change the oil filter with the new one and top up the remaining 0.3 liters to the engine this way my car stays ever happy

[hash737]

i see cheers for that.

mobil 1 would be hard to find because there must be too many counterfeit of that same with castrol.

Mobil 1 5w30 mentioned here is fully synthetic for 3400 rupees? any authorized seller details?

what about havoline? is it good enough?
