Honda Civic 8th Generation (Reborn) - Common problems

[venomdesire]

All - have any of you had a radiator rupture on your Civic?
I had a radiator leak (from the plastic top) in Feb'21, and i changed it with a new one (chinese - PKR9000) then. Yesterday it ruptured again this time from the radiator fin.

later on someone told me that "rebaan gaari bohot pressure banani hai chinese radiator nai chalta ismai" which seems like pure BS. nevertheless i got a used original (kabli) one in good condition and swapped it in.

Moreover, i noticed this happened twice as soon as i put coolant in it, last time also i had put coolant and it leaked, this time as well. i am using Zic coolant (could that be the culprit if the coolant generates gas by some reaction?)

Used to see your ex EG on the track till not too long ago, I think it's sold again to someone else. Good to see you here man.

Shock Absorbers arent OK. or the collar is loose

[syedzain265]

Shocks were installed new aftermarket not oem.
Aftermarket obes worked fine on previous cars.
Can u explain the collar issue​

Can anyone recommend what Brand / Thickness Manual Transmission oil to use for 8th Gen Civic ? What are you guys running ?(who own manual models of 8th Gen)

No, coolant does not make any magical gas which cracks radiator top/bottom covers. Please confirm if your car previously ran on tap water? whats the situation of rust in cooling system?
When a car is ran long enuf on water (worse yet, khara paani), and then coolant is put in, all the leaks (including head gasket) which were masked by rust, start to appear.
Chinese radiators are really crap, so that can be the fault itself.
Its usually the head gasket leak which causes immense pressure in cooling system, leading to failure/cracking from weakest point.
Get your car inspected for head gasket failure.

Any idea as to how much a new starter (self) motor for Reborn will cost ?

[zakiuddin]

so changing the starter motor didn't resolve your problem...
Don't throw money at parts unless you are not sure of the problem...

[pwuser154404443270]

4k-6k

[UAHMAD]

This has to be the price of used motor. New OEM shall cost much more than that.

In the first instance, please get your self motor serviced. It has worked for me.

[lowresolution]

Yes it did not ! . Apparently the Kabli starter motor i pulled from Shershah was not a good one as well. I Can get it serviced as well i guess

I`ll be buying a brand new OEM one this time

With kabli parts its always roll of a dice , if they work they work years and years. And if they don`t well its hard luck.

[zakiuddin]

I hope it solves your problem but honestly, i still doubt you have a faulty starter motor...
