Brake work and oil changes... had one rear calliper fail... rear shocks replaced and just did front wheel bearings...
Other then Spark Plugs engine hasn't had a single part replaced and all original ball joints and front end
I own a 2019 civic Si I've been building her.270hp 315tq. She's full bolt on plus I do my own maintenance also. So easy to work on and super reliable.
APR head stud? Too much boost will cause early head gasket failure 😂
Yeah I want an update
$50 says they blew it up on those numbers
this generation is the best looking modern civic imo
the 9th gen looks like a mini van and the 11th Gen looks like a smaller accord
I agree
rear tires wear great on mine. From factory it has worn great. The alignment specs could be too lenient at shop checking it. They always just want easy money. You could use stiffer springs because when it sags on the longer sedans the alignment changes. I have some stiffer Si springs for rear if you want them.
Your wheel bearings are going out. I can hear that drumming hum. My civic is a 2018 and right after 160k km the wheel bearings started making noise. Sounded like wheel balancing but after a full road force balance it’s the bearing.
Where did you order your brakes and pads from? I need to do brakes before the end of January for inspection. 54,000 miles on original pads and rotors. Not bad! I'd like to do drilled and slotted like you did.
Thx for video. Buy civic 2 day. 1.5 turbo. Sport. 140 000km
Check out my Honda civic playlist
Some of these 1.5 models have oil dilution, some don't. Do they know where the bad one's were made?
use Pennzoil platinum synthetic 370000kms still running great
Think smart
Buy honda
I need your help on deciding whether or not i should take the Honda Plus extended warranty from Honda Canada, the cost was $2500 Canadian , the car i am looking to get is a 2020 Civic LX with the 2L N/A engine, the car has 74000 kms on it and drives really well and the cvt pickup is good with no unsual noise or shaking. Should I get the extended warranty as I have 60 days to decide whether or not to cancel or keep it. Please help.
We didnt bother... civics are cheap 2500 can buy lots of parts... dealerships are crooks
@@BurninGas8.1 Thanks so much for the reply, indeed i went to pick up the car yesterday and told them to take it off, i was able to shortened my finance term and i decided to put the money to pay off my loan faster.
what about the carbon build up and oil dilution problems?
Never had carbon issue ... drive the car dont baby it.... oil dilution hasnt been a issue either run penzoil platinum
@@BurninGas8.1Oil dilution usually caused by cheap fuel, driving around town in traffic all the time and not changing oil every 7500 miles.
No oil dilution?
no
Have you adjusted the valve clearances on the civic?
No the engine hasnt been touched
@@BurninGas8.1 so that means you have not touched the spark plugs. i heard you should change them every 100k miles. I'm about to get them changed along with valve adjustment. my 16 civic has 98k miles.
@@FabianRobinson yes i have changed plugs twice my bad but nothing internal
@@FabianRobinson How did it go on valves? I need that soon.
Having owned more than a dozen Hondas .
I can tell you that the rear bushings tend to start sagging with age which causes your rear camber to flex... This can either be compensated with an adjustable rear camber kit .. OR by servicing all the bushes on the rear .
Also at 300 000 km , the inner CV/ Axle joints start to wear into the cups and cause a small pitting which then causes the vibration under load .
outer axle will cause the noise . inners will cause vibration .. so you're on the money .
At around 80,000 miles my 1.5 liter had issues and I had to replace my fuel injectors. First time ever having to replace fuel injectors on any car I've owned. They told me the fuel injectors were fouling due to the GDI engine carbon build up in them
that would have responded to additive treatment no?
We had that at 80,000 Miles on our CR-V with the 1.5 Turbo. We started putting injector cleaner in at the beginning of each new season and we are up to 90,000 miles now and all is well.
-So far, so good!
@Narrowgaugefilms Which brand do you use?
STP, black bottle, basically what they had at the supermarket!
To start, we put it in when the car was doing low mileage and the cleaner could soak inside the injectors for more than two weeks. The warning messages appeared once more on the display later that month, so we did it again. Since then, at the beginning of each new season we put a bottle in a full tank of gas and we haven't had a warning message since.We're hoping somewhere along the line, the injectors will be cleaned to new condition and we'll keep them that way.
I can't guarantee this will work forever, but we've kicked a $1400 repair 10,000 miles down the street now.
Ive had 105kkm od mine 1.5. Still reliable. I have manual transmission.
Nice
Love this generation of Civic.
Yea they have good power and speed, drives like a go kart, and is very reliable and not a parts pig
@@BurninGas8.1 love my 22 accord 1.5 it’s a tiny little monster !
@@lachonga1644 tiny?? I think its downright spacious! Wish I had one.
There are videos about head gasket issues with this engine. I guess not with you.
please write engine and transmission oil change intervals
Mine is 1.5 turbo 2016 and I’m making 255,840 km right now
I dont get it. Most people including a Honda mechanic on TH-cam says that this is the most unreliable engine ever. But then there's videos like this of people saying that their 1.5T that has over 300,000 miles? Some say it is very reliable? I don't know who to believe lol.
Been a good car to us
I have about 98000mi on my 16 Civic so roughly half of what you have and no major issues thus far. It's interesting what you say about the rear end I haven't had any issues with tire wear in that respect
I live in Norway. What about oil dilution problems and carbon build up? I have seen many claims about these problems. I have owned 5 Hondas in my life. A 1999 Accord 1.8 IES and a 2002 Accord 2.2 i-ctdi diesel. 2 civics. A 2007 (?) 2.2 i-ctdi type s (diesel), and a 2012 2.2 i-dtec, also diesel. I think the crv was from 2005, and was also a 2.2 i-ctdi diesel. None of cars had any major problems. 2.2 i-dtec civic i had to change the exhaust temperature sensor under warranty, and the old 99 accord had worn bushings in the steering rack after over 100,000 km. Other than that, all the Hondas were very reliable.
Test drive the 1.5 on a cold winter day put heater on high and see if this stays at operating temp at idle. Mine will not stay at operating temp in winter condtions. Also have oil dilution during the winter. I have had heater module changed and used the new honda oil recommend. On short stop and go driving with alot of idling my engine temp drops if heater is on high
I have a 2016 coupe touring I bought brand new I do a lot of mixed driving city and highway 200K miles and aside from a few electrical problems and a bad low pressure fuel pump at 120K and brake rotors and pads it’s been great . At 36,000 I switch to amsoil 5w30 instead of 0w20 and I switched two amsoil cvt oil at 60k and I change the cvt fluid every 15 k which is excessive but I figure it’s cheap insurance vs a new transmission. I’ve only used 87 octane gasoline. I let it was up for 10 minutes before and after work everyday even when it’s warm out .
would you say this is more reliable than a Jetta GLI?
Yes
Hell yeah. Volkswagens are unreliable crappy cars. Hondas are known for reliability
I just got a 2018 civic touring with 43,000 miles, 1 previous owner, no accidents, clean title, pre-purchase inspection by honda came out clean. Drove it for 14 days (1,000 miles) you won't believe the situation I'm in.
The damn engine and turno blew (drain plug fell out while driving normal, within 10 mins no time to blink the cars running no oil stalls out i tow it and drumroll..) $16,000 in repairs to replace new $7,000 to replace used
Bro wtf ? That’s one hell of a crazy story
The only way a drain plug would fall off would be if someone didn’t tighten it enough. It won’t just pop off for no reason. If you took it to get an oil change at a shop then I would wrestle with them to pay for the damages.
Dont blame the car..owner or mechanic negligence is the only reason
My car has 408.000 kilometres and never had any problems i have only done regular maintenance and consumables
Wow…i have this car…just love it
check out my other videos
Our 13 RDX did that same noise from rear driver, I thought it was wheel bearing, replaced it, noise still there. Culprits was the rear wheels were cupped, new rear tires and that roaring was gone.
I love how it starts after a -45 without being plugged in.
I plugged it in tonight because its a 7 years old battery , November 2015 built 2016 model 1.5T. Ford batteries are not lasting 60 000km warranty, 2021 f350 and 2020 escape hybrid 12v bateries. Two new batteriesin each, one has 52 000km the other 68 000km.
Civic rear end has positive camber on tires from the factory… so I hear.
130500km on mine. Only new part is tires, oil filters, skid plate windshield wiper. New driver door panels and front fender and rear bumper clips.
Change that CVT fluid every 50k, it will last a lifetime if you do so
why door panel and fender? Not wear items
@@jamesmedina2062 Lived in a bar/motel for two months when I went west to joined the new legal marijuana gold rush.
@@Yotaciv even stranger! what does housing have to do with the car?
@@jamesmedina2062 drunk guy hit my car
Great to see they can do big miles . Just one thing has it still got the original aircon condenser fitted? Their known to be fragile..
Yes its original the playlist i made for this car shows any issues we had
I'm on Waiting list for second replacement on my 16 touring. Only issue I've had the air conditioner has failed and been recalled. Great Quick little car m
Axle fail sounds right. But if it persists after you change it, try checking loose brake pads. I had to add spacers to the clips and tighten the hold. Problems solved. It seems that aftermarket parts may have less tolerances or the clips flattened out. Note only you that only one rear side was noisy.
After market axles are awful. I have bought Raxles twice with good results
The K20C2 should make it to 1,000,000km no problem them
My 2016 civic i change the cvt tramsmissin and now i have problem on the a.c compressor, i have 107k kilometers
Thats hard luck
AC condenser had extended warranty but not sure if compressor was covered with recall
My civic also wears the rear tires weird last time I got new tires and an alignment the mechanic said it’s because of its independent rear suspension
its definitely an issue a fwd car should not destroy rear tires like they do
Have you removed the intake manifold and checked the back of the intake valves for carbon build up? Curious to see if there is any carbon build-up at that high of mileage. Is the fuel economy still good?
Nope never did that but we drive it hard not easy so it keeps itself clean
I use crc carbon clean between oil changes. I drive hard also but these still build up carbon but not nearly as bad as a VW.
Any carbon building up ?
Nope
Hi, I would like to ask if you have done any rustproofing on this car and if not how is it holding without it?
No we had dealer do it when it was new... your not allowed to undercoat yourself or it voids warranty... watch my latest video we are getting rust around rear wheel well... curious if honda is gonna back up their 10yr warranty on paint
@@BurninGas8.1 We probably got screwed over unroyally in the US again and this time with no paint warranty at all. I have paint flaking off everywhere on exterior.
Where do you guys drive to rack up that kind of mileage. That's like 50k per yr
She commuted to a job that was 150km one way
I drive 68miles to and from work daily 6 days a week
I bought my 19 coupe ex-t with 10,000 miles a little over a year and a half ago. I just hit 45,000 miles today 😆. Last summer I was driving to Maine and new Hampshire a lot. Plus I was doing 63.3 miles a day 5 days a weeks. On top of the normal driving around. Then this year I've driven to Maine a few times, and heading back next weekend. Luckily my new job is only 24 miles round trip now. 35,000 miles in not even 2 years. 8/7/23
How often do you change the oil and fluids?
Engine oil when it reaches 5% on dash about 15000kms and it doesnt burn a drop and we put new filter everytime... transmission every 100,000kms and filter as well
Honda tech here , 4 quarts of oem honda cvt fluid, 2 filters 3 rubber Orings on the transmission heater , problem solved , you're welcome
What problem ... all that honda fluid is overpriced ill stick with what ive used 350,000kms no motor or trans issues at all
@@BurninGas8.1if you use anything other than Honda HCF2 fluid in that trans you are going to destroy it
@@BurninGas8.1as a Honda tech I’ll guarantee if you use the Honda fluid that drive ability concern will be gone instead of throwing more parts at it
@@justindasilva73 yea I work on everything and 360,000 kms with no issues says otherwise
@@justindasilva73 that’s why it has 360000 kms on it and I’ve serviced it since new
Congratulations on those kilometers on your Honda. How many times has the brake fluid and coolant been changed on this car.
Never not once
@@BurninGas8.1 I'm surprised. At the official service, the brake fluid would be changed every 40k km. Here in Europe.
@@kiboendo3146 waste of money if u ask me ive never changed brake fluid or prestone in anything other then my m5 unless your removing another part that involves draining fluid... brake fluid will get a bit burnt overtime but coolant doesnt really change much and lasts a very long time
How about a transmission flush?
@@backtoshallabal6662 yes the fluid has been changed 3 times
I have a 2016 civic touring no issues other than the air conditioner recall that has now been extended ( im on a waitlist list apparently?)
But other than that 123k km no real issues.
The 174 hp is nice and peppy even 8.5 years later.
Do u use premium gas or 87?
87
No need for 91-93 on the EX-T. You won't even feel the benefit of running 93 in the ex-t. Unless you have a tune from ktuner, or hondata to run 91-93 it's not worth it.
Now my big question. Have you replaced the water pump?
nope only thing I done to engine is oil changes and spark plugs
@@BurninGas8.1 ok so that’s where I’m confused. I went to Honda. My car just hit 100k miles (idk what that is in km) but they suggested replacing the water pump for $1500 as a “preventative maintenance” thing. I made a post about it on the Honda Reddit. Do you think getting that done is silly or should I do it?
I mean you didn’t do it and your car seems to be running ok
@@Ghost-jy9hk I wouldn’t replace a water pump unless it was leaking or actually had a issue… Honda is just trying to take your money
this is someone who is with honda to make this video all hondas with the 1.5 engine are having fuel in the oil.He is liar.
I am not with Honda at all buddy and I don’t lie in my videos
Did you Honda blow up eh jerry
I have japanese 2017 1.5 T own it for 1.5 years 24000 km done by me always wait for it to warm before driving never ever had any oil dilution issue
I bought the Civic Hatchback Sport 2021. I’m worried about the smell of gasoline coming out of the muffler. Religiously, I change the oil and filter every 5 months. I travel short distances of about 19 miles a day. When I check the engine oil level, it smells like gasoline and is above the level. I’m worried about the longevity of my Civic. I use premium gasoline 91. I hope my Civic will be durable, but all these things worry me.
yea oil level should not go up
Maybe try running on 87 for a few weeks .
You should check oil level properly. There is a timing of it. The smell will be there. That is why you are supposed to start with a heavier oil so that when mixed with gasoline, it does not get too thin. Change it every 5k miles max. Also let it idle 60 seconds at start up. Drive it slowly for 1st 5 minutes.
The Honda L15 1.5 turbo engines have oil dilution issues. Since its a turbocharged engine it operates at a lower temperature and causing a prolonged engine warm up period. as you know metal expands as it heats up so running the engine at low temperatures or in a colder climate can cause it to stay cold longer. this is an issue because when it cold starts the tolerances between the pistons and the cylinders are loose causing fuel to leak around the oil control rings. It also doesn't help that the internal operating pressures are higher and the operating temps are lower due to the turbo. your solutions are 1. go to the dealer and have them update the software on your ECM. 2 allow the vehicle to warm up before placing load on the engine. 3 change your oil no more than every 5000 miles.
I would use a good synthetic 0w40 oil and change it every 4 months or 3k miles no more. Turbo gdi cars can be reliable, but you need 2x the maintenance compared to a non turbo car.
Have you cleaned the valves, how's the carbon build up
No engine never touched other then spark plugs
@@BurninGas8.1 wow okay
