Wasn't that from tg uk?

Yup...Quoted from Jeremy Clarkson...

The car above is pretty much the eight-generation Civic, repackaged for China.
Dongfeng and Honda is in a 50:50 joint-venture.
So this is not a pirated car.

Binayaran naman sa Honda yung pag-kopya so ok na din yan for sure

[ozcity]

rebadge yan...coming from india

[Gecko Guy]

Basta ang good news dito: China made = cheap prices....sana ma-translate din na maging cheap ang prices ng mga parts netong CIIMO.

musta dito? 27k na FD ko. strange noises kept on coming. my problem about the tok tok sound is still there. its even worse. the engine support gap is very narrow already. the latest problem of my FD is the engine noise. its a whuuuurrrrr sound. vrrooooooom then when you release the accelerator it produces this whuuuuuuuuuuuurrr sound. im also hearing a whistling noise. honda never fixed it. its now out of warranty. i dont care if i pay as long it will be fixed. grabe sakit ng ulo ibinigay sa akin ng FD ko. ang ingay sa loob ng sasakyan ko. whuuuuurrrrr. tsk tsk

Try sending a personal letter to honda hq. how many honda cars have you had? If you had honda cars before, they might take actions on it - that's for being loyal to them. Honda fixed some of my car's problems for free. There's no harm in trying.

Sir, paanong whistling sound? pag mag accelerate ka nagkakawhistling sound? ganun kase yung sa FD ko ngayon, minsan pag accelrate mo may whistling sound, minsan wala.. hindi ko rin alam yung problema. sakit sa bulsa nito sigurado kung sa casa ko pa check hehe!

Bro, For describing your problem pretty accurately, mukhang pareho sa naging problem sa 8th Gen Civic ko.

The one you described happened to my FD and the problem was indeed the engine support. Hindi ko nalaman agad yan. Nagkataon lang na nagpa-regular maintenance ako sa casa. I was not yet planning to tell the service advisor about the noise and actually naunahan nya ako. He told me that my car can have the engine support replaced - for free! Even though my car is beyond the warranty period! Syempre Oo ako Tanong ko tuloy sa kanya - ito ba ay known problem or may recall ba na hindi ko alam? Ang sagot sa akin - meron certain Civic 8th Gen models na kelangan palitan ang engine support after a certain KM - Honda will replace for free for affected models (not all 8th Gen Civics are affected so better ask).

Tiningnan nya ang engine support ko tapos itinuro sa akin na lumiit na talaga ang gap sa oto ko.

Kinwento ko tuloy sa kanya ang mga symptoms na naririnig ko - may tunog ng 'tog' pag dumaan ako sa humps ng medyo mas mabilis sa normal o kaya pag medyo magaspang ang daan tapos mabilis ako - meron 'tog tog tog' ako naririning which I thought was a problem with suspension (pero hindi pala). The other symptom was indeed the relative loud noise (as you described above) pero this is only when the engine is not yet in the normal temperature.

They did replace the engine support and true enough the noise is gone.

I'm thankful sa SA at Dealer ko who told me about it, kung iba siguro baka pinagkaperahan pa ako. One of the feel good stories for me

Good Day, Honda FD lovers and Owners!

Newbie po ako dito sa honda forum. Baka naman po matutulungan nyo ako or any suggestions. Just last friday, nakabili po kami ng 2nd hand 2008 Honda Civic 1.8S Manual Transmission. Ok naman po ang unit at malinis at makinis pa. Unfortunately, wala pong kasamang owner's/operation manual/booklet. Saan kaya po pwedeng makahanap/makabili nitong manual or booklet na ito. Salamat po ng marami.

uy ok to a. uubra pa kaya to sa 6-year-old FD ko? hindi pa to napapalitan ng engine support ever since.

[jag001]

mga sir possible po ba mag lagay ng amp and subs using the stock head unit ng FD?

thanks

[ozcity]

^ yes..but you need to buy a LOC or look for an amp na meron speaker level input..

[oj88]

mga sir possible po ba mag lagay ng amp and subs using the stock head unit ng FD?

Do note that the stock radio's DSP has EQ'ed out the low frequencies to match the stock speakers (actually, the DSP is set to protect the stock speakers). So even if you put an LOC+Amp and a sub, it will be very hard to reproduce low frequencies that are being heavily attenuated by the HU.

HOWEVER, there's a hack to temporarily disable the DSP on the stock radio (06-11 Civic and 09-11 Jazz).

Follow these instructions:

1. Make sure that the ignition key is either set to ACC or ON (doesn't matter whether the engine is running or not)
2. Make sure that the radio is OFF
3. Press and hold memory buttons "4" and "6" then power ON the radio
4. Release all buttons and press button "4" once
5. The display will show that the DSP has been turned OFF
6. Turn OFF the radio and turn it back ON

After the power cycle in step 6, you'll notice that the bass and treble frequencies have been extended (flat EQ). However, listening at high volumes may potentially kill the stock speakers so be careful with it.

This setting is temporary and the DSP will default to the ON state the next time the ignition key is switched off.

after 1 week, they finally diagnosed that my compressor clutch set is failing. 14,640 yung replacement. ouch! ito daw yung cause ng humming sound.

Langya talaga Honda ang mamahal ng parts.

* 65k kms, tensioner palang at engine support napapalitan sakin. Sana wala na dumagdag pa. :hammer:

[EuroFD]

Sakit ng ageing FD yan. Happened to me too, sadly. Hoped Honda corrected it on the FE.
