  1. Lugging the engine

    There is no general rule. For example, I often get better gas mileage and much better response while in a lower gear, even if the shift light invites me to upshift. Sometimes I downshift to 5th gear even if I am driving over 130 km/h (80 mph) if I feel that the car is struggling. It depends on...
  2. Purchasing 1.5 T vs. 2.0 NA for 2019

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but even the 2.0 NA engine is directly injected so susceptible to some degree of oil dilution as well.
  3. 2018 Civic won't start

    Have your car checked by the dealer. Maybe some sensor on the clutch or brake pedal didn't engage when you depressed them.
  4. Oil dilution 'product update' cancelled by HONDA Canada?? - [Not canceled]

    Just asking - did anyone hear about a failed Civic X engine? From what I understood, if the engine gets hot enough, the gasoline that leaked into the oil tends to evaporate, so for more spirited drivers, this shouldn't be a problem, as they heat up their engines faster. I own a small 1L Turbo...
  5. knock noise in sterring column after full turn and then back to straight ?

    You can give it a try... A friend of mine did it and the noise/knocking feeling disappeared on his car. He wanted to reply himself, but for some reason his account creation on this forum was not approved.
  6. knock noise in sterring column after full turn and then back to straight ?

    If the problem you're experiencing is the same as on this video: you may need to lubricate the drive shaft sleeves with some silicone based lubricant.
  7. How old are all you CTR owners?

    50, and I wish I could afford a CTR! Hell, even a Sport 1.5T. I'm on a 1.0 Turbo and even this baby makes me smile while driving!
  8. 9" Aftermarket Android Head Unit (Feature Overview / Installation)

    Did any of you see this unit? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32847877943.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.5ec92e0ebD6eNN
  9. Parked in first gear... Car rolled?!!

    IIRC, the user's manual recommends leaving it in reverse when parked on an inclined road.
  10. Want to get a 2018 Civic Hatchback but terrified of the fuel dilution issues

    Interesting how all the reports came from China! Do they clone the Hondas? Do they use fake/poor quality gasoline? Why no such issue in the rest of the world? My car is over 15000 km and I had no issue. I changed oil first time at 9000 km. There may be some oil dilution in my engine (I guess...
  11. Get your free 700 page owner’s manual

    Thanks for the link, but I'm afraid it's only for the US, because when I try to add my VIN code it says "Not a valid Honda vehicle VIN" and when I try to add my car by trim, I can only select US trims, like LX, EX. Here in Europe we have different trims and the cars are a bit different. Thanks...

  14. Clutch question again

    Never had a gear grind and I'm past 11000 km. Could be that I'm careful with the clutch. However, the rev hang is annoying...
  15. Premium audio

    If the head unit doesn't have a dedicated sub-woofer output, I suppose you will have to change the head unit, or to install an additional amplifier to the existing one.
  16. Anyone know of oem or good aftermarket mud flaps out yet?

    Hello, I installed OEM ones and they look nice. Here they are:
  17. 9" Aftermarket Android Head Unit (Feature Overview / Installation)

    I own an European version of Civic, called Comfort. It has Honda Sensing, but it comes with the color display audio I don't see the connection between Sensing and this particular HU. I would guess that the Phoenix HU would not interfere with Sensing in any way, is it?
  18. Hatchback rear wiper delete

    Not sure how rear window heater would remove mud. I find myself turning the rear wiper quite often, I see no reason why somebody would just remove it! Why not just remove front wipers too, for improving the aerodynamics and the "looks" of the car a bit since we are at it?? :)
  19. ECON Button

    I stopped using it some time ago because the car felt sluggish and suprisingly the consumption was higher, as I live in a hilly city. I only turn it on during long trips on highways where it seems to lower the consumption a bit (less sudden acceleration with ACC in ECON)
  20. 2016 Honda Civic Owners Manual PDF (hatchback)

    There is none on Honda UK or Honda Romania and the US version of Civic X HB is quite different, so kudos to un hombre! This manual is exactly what I was looking for!
