- 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport CVT
Update #1: https://www.civicx.com/forum/thread...ad-for-all-models.42361/page-370#post-1251954
UPDATE!
Vehicle: 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport CVT (Bought used at 65,232 miles)
Total tuned time: 6 Months
Tuned miles driven: 3,000+ (Current Miles: 71,828)
Tuning device(s) used: KTuner Flash v1.2
Tunes used: Phearable 1.5 Level 1: Low Boost
Fuel used: Chevron 91
Additional related mods: None
Problems/issues: Flashed the the car back to stock for a little over 3 months because I thought I was having CVT problems. There was a louder than usual whine coming from the CVT. For example, at a constant 4,000 RPMs in 1st in Sport Mode, it sounds like I have a second turbo. Sound wise the engine is the loudest, but there is a high pitch whine that is second loudest to the engine. (Hope I didn't confuse anyone with that. ) I started digging threw the forums and discovered its apparently normal for a CVT to have that whine. This is also my first CVT. Is it an issue... eh, I thought it was for me.
Driving style: Still Conservative, moderate driving.
Tune experience notes: USE A CAR BATTERY CHARGER WHEN FLASHING! I cannot stress this enough when flashing a tune on your car.
