You need to run your engine in. I think 1,000km is not enough. 1,500km is ideal to get the parts to loosen all its bits. With the window issue, youll need to test it like Homer Simpson did, window goes up, window goes down. Keep doing it and see if you have a problem. I dont know any other issues cos this was the only one that occured to me. Maybe take note of other peoples problems and investigate it before taking it in.

I noticed fuel consumption was on the high side and power didn't feel strong till around 3000km.......no I wasn't lead footing it that badly.

Yea, its like that. My fuel economy was really crap when before the first service. Once you hit around 3000km, you will notice a better fuel economy. It didnt feel like there was any power in the car unless you had to floor it. Now, the car feels much more smoother and more power even travelling at low revs.

Slightly off topic but since we are discusing running in,.. here's an article from Temple of VTEC Asia...
It compares two new civics, one a trashed press car and the other, a gently run in owner's car

From that article the K20Z should run stronger but it feels the same to me. It only gets interesting at the top of 3rd gear, pretty slow on the lower gears. We most probably got the K20A then........maybe the Z is for later in the year.

WTF didn't we get stiff suspension teewww.

[gerard]

nah, we got the K20ZZ2 its in your owners' certificate
The Americans get a K20Z3 on their Si (197 ponies)

[Nugget02]
