  1. AC Temp

    I have 2016 civic with 96K on it (about 60K miles), I just had a $215 diagnostic done on the A/C. Turns out the compressor is leaking. Estimate is $3000 CAN with taxes (including the diagnostics). :mad: With the car being out of warranty, I'm done with the dealer, I will look for a better...
  2. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I only did it because the towing truck driver (certified by Honda Canada and my witness) rised it hight enough on his truck's lift for me to be able to get underneath easily and safely. I did look underneath before he came and you are right, doing it on my own would be risky. I have full...
  3. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    No, I didn't think to ask about the Oil light. I tried to explain everything that happened to the service representative but it seemed like she was not too interested, the engine sounded ok to their mechanic so they tried to get rid of me as soon as they could. They didn't ask for any details...
  4. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Hi fjrman, I hope you are right and thanks for re-assuring me that my car is just fine, I really hope so too. What would you do if this happened to you? Would you take the car wash offer?
  5. CR crappy rating

    I have 50,000km on my LX, the only real issue is the Android Auto which stops connecting to my phone maybe once a month and requires a reboot and it actually got better with my Samsung S7 Nougat update. Still, for the price there is no better small sedan, I had looked at them all. I can...
  6. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    In addition to facebook, get me some likes on google reviews so my review stays up top. :thumbsup: https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=ZR0FWfTzHYSN8QelkYewDA#q=honda+orangeville&spf=1
  7. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I spoke with Honda Canada, they cannot force the dealership to do anything as they are an independent business and they are just "partners". :mad:
  8. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I posted a review on their facebook page, if a couple of you wouldn't mind adding a couple of "kind" words in there it would create a bit more noise ;-) Thanks All! https://www.facebook.com/pg/orangevillehonda/reviews/
  9. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I admire you for your ferocity, haha, but this is not me. I had already spent two days being furious which effected my work and family. I learned that you just need to let go of things, especially something like this when the big guys have the upper hand. I’m too busy with work and 3 kids to...
  10. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Thanks for all the support and comments! I got the car, it seems fine, the engine sound is a bit loud/rough while accelerating but it is probably because I never paid attention to it before. My friend has the exact same Civic so I will compare when I get a chance. I'm attaching the invoice in...
  11. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Update. I got a call from the service manager and he said that the general manager offered me a free oil change and detailing (with three kids detailing is good for like one day :)) . They will not give me extended warranty because there is no detectable damage to the engine. I called Honda...
  12. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Yeah and I'm not here to convince anyone of anything, I simply want to find out probability of damage to the engine.
  13. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Maybe it was collecting slowly in the skid plate and was blown away as I was driving (like Design said above)? Maybe, only last night it finally started to leak more? The service manager insisted there was still oil in the engine as they had drained it all the way. I guess the dip stick being...
  14. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    No engine lights prior to today and no oil stains on my driveway that I noticed. There was a big long stain today though which happened as I was driving out of the driveway so obviously I didn't notice it until I got back into the driveway. My guess is that yesterday the drain screw loosened up...
  15. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    The service manager called me and said that lose of power was most likely due to Engine Fail Safe, supposedly both the engine and the transmission have something like that built in. He said if there is any internal damage it will fail within months not years and my warranty will still cover it...
  16. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I haven't driven it yet, I refused to take the car until I talk to the manager. The thing is even if the engine behaves and sounds fine, who know what damage happened inside that will cause issues (like burning oil) a couple of years from now. I was going to pass this car onto my son down the...
  17. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    They put new oil in, cleared the codes and said it is good to go :doh:. I said no way, left the car there and I'm waiting for the manager who starts in 2 hours. I will be asking for the extended engine warranty at the least. This is Orangeville Honda (Ontario) by the way. The same guys that...
  18. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    Took the skid plate off and this is what I found. The tow truck driver was nice enough to give them a hard time too.. So I have a witness. The mechanic is investigating now...
  19. No oil in the engine, any damage?

    I didn't take off the skid plate so it is hard to say, maybe I will take it off once the towing gets here if the guy can wait a minute. The car has 46,000km and I did about 1,000km since the oil change.
