[aziz.rehan]

If u reduce 0.8 litres now it is 3.2.Member said it requires 2.8 litres.Reduce 0.4 litres more fluid.Who knows noise may go away.there is external filter for transmission.change that it can also cause issues

I wasted whole day yesterday at mechanic, but in the end found out the ABS indicator light on ODO is forcefully disconnected by previous owner.

Now on Monday i am thinking to replace the speed sensor.

Q1) how much the rare wheel speed sensor cost?
Q2) somebody told me that these sensors never calibrate with each other and thus you will have another sensor failing in coming days.
Q2) Does that guarantee if i replace the speed sensor the ABS will start work?

[aziz.rehan]

Did u service brakes.Sometimes abs lights comes on by worn brake pads and discs

[ashbal]

Abs light is there,just replace the wheel speed sencor and your issue will go away,and one more thing as speed sencor is not working properly the abswont work and both the wheels will skid as the abs wont be working

[Thinking]

i know people do it to get away with the error. anyways once all 4 wheel abs sensors and abs system is working properly the abs light will go away by itself after ecu reset.

dont worry its a reborn and its parts are available and it can be fixed. just be patient with it.

[Thinking]

there is a clear cold and hot marking on the gear box dip stick. check the atf dw1 level accordingly and keep at the recommended level. since your transmission doesnt have any other issue i think it should be fine with correct amount of atf oil.

[farazshah06]

Please guide me how can i check my transmission oil?

[Thinking]

brother there is a dip stick in your engine compartment on top of gear box, if you look down behind battery.

you can check your gear oil level on the dip stick.

Bro there's no cold/hot mark. The dipstick has one HOT mark with some checked area under it which I believe is the level bracket. I removed 0.7L of oil to bring it to the H mark. It was badly overfilled by around 1.3L (by previous owner)

[Thinking]

looks ok now. do check regarding the whining noise you were complaining. You can also check in you manual how to read this dip stick. however as far as i remember, when its cold the oil should be at crisscross pattern max level line. when its hot and you are checking after running the car, it should be at hot mark (like the one you showed in picture).

[Thinking]

pasting the extract from the reborn manual for you guys

Hope this helps and clarifies.

Guys tell whether this ARM REST moves forward or backward in 2008 model.
i just bought a 2008 model its now moving forward, and i have seen it moving forward in 2010 model.

[rajaahmed96]

It moves forward in my 2010 model.

[Thinking]

yes it does move forwards and backwards in 2008 model too. I know for oriel prosmatic.

[munirhusain]

This feature is standard in all 8th gen civics.

[venomdesire]

Oil levels all good now. Whining noise still there. Showed a couple of experienced mechanics who advise a transmission replacement if noise is bugging too much. else they say k chalatay Rahen jab Tak transmission Beth na jae

[Thinking]

ok. so keep using unless it gets totally faulty. no need to change straightaway.

with time you might be able to pin point exact issue and might not have the change the complete transmission in that case.

Hey all,

I have a Civic 2009 and its giving me shitty mileage. 5.5L/Km

What should I get checked?

CAT, Throttle, Air intake?!? I have no idea where to start.

[rajaahmed96]

CAT and spark plugs then throttle body. Also check fuel filter and air filter. Scan the car if it has any codes. If it is prosmatec it won’t give you more than 8-9km/l in local with AC.

[Thinking]

Catcon cleaning, all fluids replacement, all filters replacement and alignment/balancing should be the course of action to start with.
