Hello . I am facing very strange problem in my HONDA CITY vario 2005 . Car is 1st owner and totally original from inside out .. original mileage is 180k . now coming to problem . when the car is cold its need at least 3 to 5 min to move forward . for reviser its work normally . Every morning i need to spend at least warm up the car by putting the car in R gear and hold the break . and sometimes the D light starts blinking and car lose there power . rest car run normal no issue in pick up or jerking problem . but getting very poor fuel average max 8 kmpl . recently cvt oil was changed .

Good and experts suggestions are welcomed ..

When did you replace your CVT oil? Use only Honda CVT-F oil, a white one liter bottle it is and you'll require 4~5.
Make sure your transmission valve body is not sticking.

Do the above two, if it still does the same. Get the new oil out, don't waste it. Buy new transmission will cost you around 15K these from Lahore. Put that oil in this transmission drive for 5K KMS and replace oil again.

How's your city running now with swap? What is your opinion like if i want to swap my 2004 vario city's engine would you recommend?
My car's engine has started to produce a knocking sound that's of piston according to mechanic. So i was thinking about thid swap project

Sold it a month ago. Ran like a beast. Fuel consumption was 13/14 in City last I remember. If you wanna swap don’t buy the engine first, get the parts you’d be replacing and a really good car electrician

Hamza man i bought vtec steermatic last month, changed engine oil and regular service with some mounting setting .
I was getting 9,10 average on mix . Talked to my mechanic he said let's do tuning. Today he opened up and was said all the plugs were drown in oil and coil had some oil too .
According to him he has changed all plugs and cleared coils .
But still i can see check light on and noticed another issue that on D mode its gives a bit grr sound and engine rattles at start or on low speed and evening while applying break it feels like so much vibration.
What do you think about this issue.

[arshadahmed]

Oil in plugs can also be due to tepid cover seal! Check that also . The packing has rounded shape built in for all spark plugs

[pwuser153520446558]

It feels bubling when i crossed 120 on meter.

[hamza_iqbal]

You should have replaced valve cover seal too. It’s pretty easy to do and not too expensive if you opt for OEM. Not replacing it will cause your new spark plugs to get drenched real soon.
It’s a pretty common issue with aged L12A2s and L15As found in PKDM Honda City.

Which plugs did you use? You should only use iridium spark plugs. I don’t remember the exact specs but follow it. My replacement motor had still original in it. So, I never replaced them.

9/10 kpl with AC in city is good enough. Proper tuneup, valve clearance adjustment could give you a 1~2 kpl more.

[hamza_iqbal]

Check your wheels, tires and make sure they are wheel balanced.

The engine seems to be putting Really good amount of power to the wheels but Do the ecu wire harness and some parts need to be replaced for the optimum vtec output? If yes where can i find a good electrician Who can manage all that?

[hamza_iqbal]

Check PCV valve. If it’s okay, then you’d need to overhaul your engine or replace it. ( you can find a good one easily )
