honda civic vti, sir, rs 1999-2000

[lm723]

Hi guys, just want to ask for more details regarding the civic. Hope you can help me.

What I know about the Honda Civic 1999, 2000+ (All with SIR Body)

1. LXi
- Engine 1.5L SOHC non-VTEC
- No fog lamps

2. VTi
- Engine 1.6L SOHC VTEC-E
- Has fog lamps

3. VTi RS (Same on #2 +cosmetic)
- Engine 1.6 SOHC VTEC-E
- Has fog lamps

4. SIR
- Engine 1.6L DOHC VTEC B16a?
- Has fog lamps

I am reviewing the three variants, so at least I know what to look at. My transmission option is AT, since my wife will drive it too. Any, other things I need to check on those years? and on the variants?

I know, I should stay away from a heavily modified car, baka it was raced before. And parts may need to be replaced, unless it was replaced na. If automatic, how come mas madali masira eto? I know about wear n tear, but not sure which parts might need to be replaced din, para in-tip top condition ung tranny for AT.

Costing is around 200k to 250k

Salamat!

Since you are looking for an A/T, the Lxi and Vti variants are your choice. The SiR comes only with a manual tranny, the Vti Rs comes with a manual trans ( not sure if there were A/Ts ) this is associated with the sunburst yellow color limited.

You should be on the lookout if the fluid smells burnt on the A/T. Check if the shifting is smooth and no noise when it shifts. That's all for now, will check back if something comes to my mind.

Thanks sir. If the A/T has some burning smells, what could it be? Sa states, usually AT problem usually sira, and it will cost a lot to replace/repair. Not sure, here sa Manila. If kse ganyan ung case, medyo not good idea ata to go with a A/T na Civic 1999, 2000 model. But, I might be wrong.

If ever that fails, how much usually sya I repair? And which part dapat palitan? Torque Converter?

Thanks!

Common problems among EK Civics are the automatic tranny, rear trailing arm bushing, and aircon compressor. Patignan niyo yan, especially the rear trailing arm bushing

[lm723]

Thanks myke.

Not sure if this is the automatic tranny problem.

Anyway, I think mas nakaka takot ung automatic tranny. Unless, someone can prove otherwise. If the rear trailing arm bushing is a problem, cguro once acquired, replace na lang agad, I think mas madali eto gawin.

mine is '97 VTi A/T. twice na nagpalit ako ng trailing arm bushing... i suggest to go for OEM. first kasi, replacement japan lang kinabit ko... nagtipid sa 200.00/each difference in the end di rin nagtagal. 1 year lang inabot. better pagpang-ilalim go for OEMs.

re sa tranny, check mo lang if wla gaanong shift-shock... better din if may record ang previous owner when sya nagpalit ng ATF.. oh btw, pagdating sa ATF.. go for honda ATF mismo para sure... pati sa power steering fluid, OEM din gamitin mo. sa engine naman, kahit ano basta tama viscosity. mine, i'm using Petron Ultron Rallye, 10-40W semi-synth... meron kasi dito malapit sa amin, 1,499.00 all-in, before DIY ako, kaso since kunti lang naman difference & di naman rezing-rezing kaya yan na ginagamit ko, every 7mos or 7K whichever comes first ang change oil.

engine code dito sa atin is PH16A, 1.6 SOHC VTEC-E.

FC ko is 8-9K/L, pure city driving, moderate-heavy traffic.

If the fluid smells burnt, then stay away from it, chances are the owner did not take good care of the fluid maintenance. There are a lot of parts involved when repairing such. Other mechanics resort to changing the whole syatem with a surplus one. Price may start at 15k up.

[renzo_d10]

Ok na yung VTi A/T. Wala naman kasing SiR na MT at under 300k.

[habu28]

pa-ride po...this vti variant po ba ay yung ph16a engine? non-interference po ba ang engine na ito? thanks in advance..

[myk384]

walang VTI-RS dito sa Pinas, and VTI variants have the D16Y5 engine, not the PH16A

[VTI99]

i think PH16A ang code ng engine for honda vti na release dito sa pinas. counterpart cguro ng ibang engine na gamit abroad. i cant find yung code na ph16 sa mga international engine codes. mostly B, D, F, H,K, L, & R ang codes.. but no PH... sa mga shops here mas kilala na ph16a ang engine ng vti, even sa casa ph16a ang engine code ng vti.

p6fd1 eto engine code ng civic99 ko. Ask ko lang if same lang ba code ng mga 99civic na release that year? Kc may nakita ako iba civic99 PH16 ang code.******

[blackmamba58]

Hi Guys,

We also own a Honda Lxi. Ask ko lang where is the best magpagawa nito? (General checkup, medyo hindi pa napapacheck in years na din. Change oil at tires lang ang namemaintain). Thanks!

Lately kasi, every cold start, occasionally may tumutunog na maingay, then nawawala kapag nag-warm na engine. We think its a fan belt or something related to aircon. I observed din kasi na when aircon is on agad, the noise is much probable to occur in cold start. Thanks!

Mahal talaga ang Honda SiR baka nakikita mo na 260k sa Olx na civic ay " SiR Body " na Lxi at Vti iba sa Honda SiR yun , mahal sa 380k yan tawaran mo ng 300k, mataas talaga ang resale ng Original na SiR civic

what kind of noise? screeching ba na parang daga? if so, fan belt.

[blackmamba58]

what kind of noise? screeching ba na parang daga? if so, fan belt.

yes sir, loud screeching. Nakakahiya lalo kapag umaga. Lakas talaga. Baka nga fan belt. San kaya ok magpagawa?

Saka pano ba malalaman kung need na palitan din brake pads? Tagal na kasi nito hindi ko alam kelan huling napalitan ang pads. Hehe. Thanks.
