I'm in Sydney at the moment.
Got my car from Rick Damelian, so yeh.
I was thinking of getting the Motul 8100 10w-40 i think it was. Is that any good.
They drove the car but couldnt find any fault with it, i was with them in the car, but they couldnt feel any vibration. It happens now and then, thats the problem.. If it happened as frequently it would be easy to pin point.
Just stop the car and turn on the A/C since you say that is when it happens.
Depending on how much vibration you're talking about, I think what you're describing is normal. I can notice a mild vibration through the accelerator when the aircon is on, and as the various fans kick in and out.
I did that too...i think that guy who was test driving the car...was an idiot...
he didnt know anything, or i think she was acting...i'll probably go to another dealer to get this checked up.
i dont even trust honda dealers with the servicing. They say they have done all this and checked all that, but you have no proof that they did all that. Its just all on paper....
Well nevermind, well going back to the Oils, is Motul 8100 series good or do i stick with Mobil 1 Performance
Hey Tobster,
How about when your car is on hault, and then as your accelerate can you will any vibration. I dont have the A/C on this time, but it still vibrates, and its not a massive vibration, but a slight vibration, but its annoying!
It happens when i stop the car and then as i acclerate it starts
Firstly, do you drive an auto? (I have a manual)
The other thing you might be feeling (from what you describe) is the lack of low down torque combined with what I think is some resonance around the 1800-2000 rpm range -- the engine seems to have a little rough coughing moment. A few more revs when moving off generally eliminates this.
Yeh i do have an auto...
so your saying it vibrates around the 1800 - 2000 rpm mark. Properly does, havent noticed it.
What do you mean by few more revs...are you saying that i need to rev the acclerator hard for a while to solve this issue
I have the same problem. Can't pick when it happens though. I've got a 03 Euro. Took it to Hanny's Performance and they couldn't find anything either.
If you want it fixed I would strongly suggest you take this up with Honda Australia. One of my mates had an issue with his Integra for a different issue and the dealership was being very difficult so he bypassed them and contacted Honda Australia 1800 804 954 and complained to them. All was sorted after that.
My 2004 Auto has a vibration that can be felt when stopped and the a/c compressor cuts-in. Local dealer swapped all sorts of parts, including the power steering power (on same pulley as a/c) but no cure. I wrote letter to Honda CEO. Honda honcho from Brisbane came, took me for a drive in my car and said, there there now dear Euro owner, it's a sporty car so you should expect some vibrations. He acknowledged that it was a problem but that Honda was going to do absolutely nothing about it. I felt a glow about me when I was reassured in this way but it wore of after I got control of my car back again. The local dealer bent over backwards to fix the problem to no avail. Honda wasn't interested. Probably because I live so far away from East coast of Australia where all the first class Australian Citizens live.
i drive an auto euro. i get the problem with the A/C all the time. I think that's normal, just the a/c drawing power for the startup.
i've also had the vibrating a few times with the standing start. I asked my dad and he said i was imagining things.....hahahaha. no idea what that is but.
I get a short vibration when I turn my air con on. Lasts for 1-2seconds. It might occur other times too. It's when the fans turn on from what I can gather. To me it's normal as the vibration isn't that bad. If it was constant then I'd worry.
Well is there a solution to this problem.
Cause it seems for a fact that when the A/C is on we get some kind of vibration.
But not many people have got the vibration with the car is at hault and then moving. Like Starting & Stopping.
I'm still surprised that Honda hasnt heard about this problem before, or i dont know if they are pretending to not know that a problem like this exists.
I'm just upset to see such a good car like this has an annoying thing such as vibration.
Do any of you guys suggest anything that can be done.
I've offically made my COMPLAINT to HONDA AUSTRALIA, so waiting for some response back.
Another thing i wanted to ask you guys, is that the HID's that are standard on the Honda Lux isnt that BLUE. Just wanting to know can i change to a more blue looking one without affecting the warranty of the car. And if yes, which is the best looking BLUE HID's there in the market to purchase.
