    I'm planning to buy a Honda Civic 2006. It's our first time to buy a second-hand car. What are the things that should I check before closing the deal? Are there any issues with this model? Thanks in advance!

    Honda civic 8th generation FD medyo madami sakit nyan but sure thing maporma yan kumpara sa ibang 06 model. Isa sa mga sakit nyan na alam ko ay the most notorious engine support may mga nagsasabi nga sa team FD na kung magpalit sila ng engine support nila parang nagpapa change oil lang, isa pa dyan ang auto-tensioner pero kung nakorek na ng previous na may-ari e siguro ok na un, wheel bearing kasama rin yun...

    eto galing sa Team FD...

    1. RIGHT ENGINE SUPPORT

    Signs: Unusual vibration especially for automatic cars when shifted at drive and brakes are applied.

    Solution: Replace Engine support.



    2. WHEEL ALIGNMENT ISSUE

    Signs: Car was pulling to the right at 6K on the odometer.

    Solution: They aligned 3 times before it was fixed.



    3. PAINT FLAW

    Signs: Runny paint below the chrome moulding on the rear right door.

    Solution: Repaired by casa free of charge.



    4. SOCKET FOR A/C FAN

    Signs: FD shakes badly when a/c is triggered; rough idling when a/c is activated (usually drops to a low rpm).

    Solution: Replace Socket.



    5. KNOCKING SOUND

    Signs: Unusual sound upon full steer at full stop.

    Solution: Checked by the casa, re-lubricated and tightened bolts.



    6. POPPING DASH TRIANGULAR PANEL

    Signs: Triangular panel on the right side of the dashboard pops out.

    Solution: Casa tried to fix using black goo used for A/C but it still popped out. Used clear silicon sealant and problem solved.



    7. FLICKERING HEADLIGHT/INTERIOR LIGHTS

    Signs: When the a/c compressor turns off/on the headlight will slightly flicker and at the same time the lights on the instrument panel and integrated radio display will also slightly flicker.

    Solution: Add grounding wires.



    8. PINCH-FREE POWERWINDOWS MALFUNCTIONING

    Signs: Driver's side window would not close using the one touch feature.

    Solution: Casa does some lubricating and cleaning.



    9. ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT IN DASH BOARD

    Signs: Engine indicator light always on even if the engine is already running.

    Solution: Casa fixed indicator panel/light.



    10. FOUL ODOR COMING OUT FROM AIRVENTS.

    Signs: Foul odor, almost smells like chemical/wet paint, coming out of the airvents when aircon is turned on (600kms odometer reading).

    Solution: Casa Replaced aircon filter.



    11. DRIVE BELT AUTO TENSIONER

    Signs: Whining sound when engine is running at any speed.

    Solution: Casa replaces the tensioner for free.



    12. DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOWS ALIGNMENT PROBLEM

    Signs: Window does not close.

    Solution: Casa replaced the whole assembly.



    13. WATERMARK PROBLEM

    Signs: Watermark on the front doors due to dripping water from the side mirror assembly.

    Solution: Casa did a strip on both left and right doors and replaced the rubbers and seals with a thicker one.



    14. ONE OF THE DOORS DOES NOT CLOSE SMOOTHLY/PROPERLY

    Signs: When the three other doors are closed and you try to close the last door, it will not close properly. you will have to apply a greater force to close it smoothly/properly.

    Solution: Casa fixed it by adjusting something in that problematic door.



    15. OFF-CENTERED/MISALIGNED STEERING WHEEL

    Sign: Steering wheel leans towards the left side.

    Solution: Casa performed re-alignment.



    16. WATERMARK/STAIN IN HEADLAMPS

    Signs: You will see a mist-like dot with the size of a 1-peso coin on the top-part of the headlamps.

    Solution: Casa replaced the headlamp c/o warranty.



    17. WATERMARKS ON FRONT DOORS DUE TO WATER TRAPPED IN THE SIDE MIRROR

    Sign: watermarks on doors, after carwash under the side mirrors.

    Solution: Casa trimmed down the rubber gasket inside the side mirror to avoid water being trapped inside, rebuffed the door panels to remove the water stains.



    18. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK MECHANISM

    Solution: Casa reattached the cowl.



    21. DRIVER SEAT

    Sign: A clip in the rear plastic part broke for no apparent reason (never had seat covers installed/removed) so there was a gap between the gray plastic panel and the blue seat foam.

    Solution: Brought it back to casa 3x and they finally replaced the whole seat c/o warranty.



    22. ENGINE ACCESSORY BELT PRE-TENSIONER

    Sign: Whinning or whistling sound in the engine bay, specifically the fan belt area.

    Solution: Replace the Tensioner bearing

    Thank you. Laking tulong nito. May mga napansin nga ako tulad nung moist on top of the headlights. Nakakapag taka kasi ang mura ng offer sakin, tapos binawasan pa nung nakipag negotiate ako.
