All New 2016 Civic

[ironman06]

Had mine replaced by casa for free. 5days before the 1-year warranty ends, nagloko battery ko.


Yep, that's right! 1 year po warranty ng battery natin. What you need to do is bring your car to casa with the old battery & receipt ng replacement nyo (Motolite) for sure reimburse nla yan.

WOW talaga?? I will visit the Casa one of these days nga. Any casa ba?

Battery warranty is 1 year or 30,000 km. Mine gave up before 1 year but I was already past the 30,000 km mark at the time.

I doubt they'll reimburse you if you've already replaced your battery on your own. Have never encountered a claim like that being honored, whether Honda or a different manufacturer.

Update: Sir, sorry you can't reimburse pala. As per my Service Advisor, prior to replacement dapat ininform mo muna si casa. But good thing you can still claim your warranty ng stock battery. Bring it to any Honda dealership, once they confirmed defective papalitan pa rin nila given updated PMS ng car nyo. So ang mangyayari ung binili nyo back-up na lang.

Thank you! Pero question. If naka stock lang yung battery sa bahay, will it still have the same longevity (~2 years) as a battery na nilagay na agad sa kotse?

Possible. With proper storage (no contact with bare floors, carpets or anything statically-charged). Also, it is advisable to have the charge topped-up before usage, even if new, especially if you don't have a trickle charger or battery tender. Or benta nyo na lang 🤣

I noticed you used the Sportrak tires (SP726 if Im not mistaken). I have a set like that. Only used em for a week then removed them right away. Left them sa garage (for sale). Those are waaaay too slippery for the civic. Compound is too hard and treadwear I think is 380, compared to the stock yokohama's 280 treadwear. They keep giving me a scare squealing at turns and the braking takes too long.. I hope you are still traveling safe with those. Lesson for me NOT to cheap out on tires too much. Fortunately found a stock set with wheels kaya binili ko na agad kahit na doble gastos. Mas malaking abala disgrasya. 🤣

Or you can sell it naman, after claiming the warranty.

That's if you did not trade-in your old batt to Motolite..

Regarding the stock battery size, with all the electronics running the civic, I dont trust it. The original battery lasted me 1.5yrs, did not use the car for more than a week and voila - christmas tree! Replaced it with a 1SM size. Removed the battery compartment casing, bent the hole where the long battery holder rod hooks up to and made my own battery holder using some thick cable ties with the stock top holder and shorter battery holder rod. The heat insulator cover will not fit a 1SM but still used it folded together and fixed it to where there is most engine heat source.. Might work for you too since, traditionally, car manufacturers almost always install a smaller "cheaper" battery, just enough to have the vehicle run. No wonder the warranty is so short. After this, the VSA light won't turn off. Just drive the car around and it will self-calibrate and turn off on its own.

It's quite ironic for a big car to have a puny battery

What's more ironic is the company that commands premium on the basis of "resale value" doesn't seem to live up to expectation

True. Im more afraid that Honda seems to be taking the bmw way of making a lot of things in the cramped engine bay out of plastic materials and having the head unit control a lot more functionality than is necessary plus it is slooooow...

Has anyone installed the Tesla-style head unit? Walang nawala fuctionality vs stock? Lighting settings, auto lock settings, etc..

Had my 70,000 km PMS today. First time the 6 month rule applied instead of the 10,000 km recommendation - I only traveled 4,000 km since my last PMS 6 months ago.

Very cheap PMS with just an oil change plus the usual checks. The 80k km PMS will be more expensive with CVTF replacement.

Hi everyone, do you guys think a modulo side skirt for the 2019 honda civic RS turbo would look good? or the default look is better?

Thanks for the advice

Mineral Oil or FS?

Been contemplating if FS will have any longevity benefits over Mineral Oil. Adds up to a saving of around 2k per PMS if mineral.

On top of this do you avail the sure save vouchers from Honda?

Mineral - I used to have very short OCI because of my high mileage so the oil never stays too long in the engine.

You're right, going FS adds about 2k per PMS.

Have not received any sure save vouchers but I noticed on my invoices that I always get a 10% discount on labor even without asking.

Of course, it will look better! The default one is boring. Ibigay mo sa akin yan in 5secs nakakabit kaagad sa car

Quick question po, may bayad ba sa Casa ang wheel alignment if you requested it during PMS? Car is still under warranty.

Yes, on the quote I have for 1yr/20k km PMS they charge it if I remember correctly it’s 1,200 and another charge for tire rotation and balance.
