I’m pretty sure, having owned an EK4 since new, that that light is an aftermarket light. That’s where my aftermarket alarm light is fitted, that only comes on and starts flashing when I shut the door...
As far as I know, the only headlight/bonnet protectors you could ever buy for them were genuine Honda ones. Aftermarket manufacturers like Aunger never made them for EK Civics (or if they did, they...
No, the handbook says 95 RON for the VTi-R engine. It also says "Premium Unleaded Fuel Only" (or something like that - it's raining, so I'm not going to get wet checking it!) inside the fuel filler....
I use either, but mainly 95 since I bought mine new - principally because 98 has only been available here for a few years. At times, away from large towns, I've had trouble even finding 95! If they...
When ABS comes on, which only happens when one or more of the wheels has locked, you feel the pedal start to vibrate as the ABS continually releases brake pressure from the locked wheel(s) and then...
If you keep a watch on Ebay, genuine ones do occasionally show up on there secondhand at good prices - I bought some on there at around the $100 mark for a pair! It took quite a few months of...
White, grey, black, cream/yellow are colours they often come in, which match most modern car interiors. Many companies also have ones which are OK for cars with seat mounted side airbags, as they...
Most car accessory shops have a range of seat covers, and I've found that sheepskin covers usually fit well - they are made in a range of sizes, and the shops have model-specific info on which sizes...
It’s best to get a service manual, if you haven’t done any service work before – they always tell you not to push the brake pedal if the pads aren’t there! Honda service manuals can be downloaded off...
Sounds like worn CV joints, if it's a metallic ratttling/knocking noise when turning, particularly under power. If the rubber boots on the CV joints have split, that will wear them out very quickly,...
Usually CV joints start a loud metallic rattling/knocking kind of sound when the front wheels are turned. However, if the noise is coming from the back, it may be worn rubber bushes causing metal to...
Just another reason why you should only fit genuine ones. If they can't get something like sealing right, how good is it likely to be as a headlight? It's a danger to you and everyone else.
I've noticed several other errors in that list of features above that are supposedly standard on the VTi-R. It doesn't have steering that's adjustable for reach - it's only adjustable for tilt, with...
Yes, they all had twin airbags - it was one of very few cars in that class that did when I bought mine. They didn't have metallic paint as standard, though - it was an option at extra cost.
Have you checked to see it’s not something obvious like a fuse blown? If you remove the plastic boot trim from that side, you’ll see the motor and antenna. While I’m sure that a Honda replacement may...
Yes, as the others have said, it just glues in. When I had my Civic's windscreen replaced I just took it in at lunchtime, and picked it up after work. They normally tell you to take it easy driving...
While I'm unfamiliar with your model, many Japanese cars of the last 30-40 years tend to use "glued in" windscreeens, that glue straight to the car body. Certainly my model Civic (1998) does, and an...
The Osram Night Breaker +90 bulbs are also available as Narva Australia bulbs - Narva call them Blue Power, but they are the Night Breaker bulbs - Osram actually say it on...
I'd disconnect it from the battery straight away, and get a fuse ASAP. It is unsafe, whether it's switched on or not, without a fuse. I have electrical engineering qualifications, and always use...
It tells you on the customs website – if the item cost is more than AUD$1000, they’ll charge you 5% customs duty and 10% GST. If you split it into several packages, each worth less than $1k, you...
Well, I’ve had my car broken into – a few weeks after I bought it new, before I’d had time to get an alarm fitted. Several other cars in the car parking area (at the start of a popular bush walking...
I'd suggest that it would probably be a good move to replace all the spark plug/coil high tension leads for new ones. I've had problems before (misfiring at town speeds, but OK at highway speeds)...
Can't help you with that, but given that they all share the same wheelbase, I'd suspect that the handbrake cables are the same for the sedans, coupes and hatches with rear disc brakes. Obviously...
