about there. the workshop i went to missed out on one of the mountings when the staff placed an order. so i changed three pieces for 700+. subsequently, the unker at a Honda specialist workshop mentioned it was not necessary to replace that mounting which was not replaced. it looks like a dog bone.

I just changed 1 engine mount last week, 88000km

intent to renew COE (5 years) 2 years later, though next W&T parts should be shock absorber and wheel bearing,

estimated cost at least S$2000, compare to buy new car (Civic 1.5T) ......

dilemma:

buy new Civic1.5T: 120K (OMV 27K) 10 years COE

Total: 120-15=105k 10 years

 

Renew existing Civic 1.8FD COE 5 years: 25k

lost OMV rebate: 11k

Change W&T parts: 3k

Total: 40k 5years

why no 10 yrs?

FD got sports mode?

 

i assume S is for SPORTS...once engaged you can upshift and downshift with pedal shifters behind your steering wheel...seldom use it though... a bit irratating especially when cornering

why no 10 yrs?

if got $$$ better to renew 10...but if $$$ no enough like me...guess no choice ...strangely about 80% of used cars above 10 years sold on SGcarmart seemed to have renewed coe for only 5 years...seldom see 10 years renewed...maybe all the 10 years one dont sell quietely driving

[Metalslug2]

oh ya i nvr noticed that either! lol

 

am thinking to renew mine 10 yrs next yr. but wana change color if possible. change color must pay LTA or not?

for the 2nd batch of FDs onwards, can use paddle shift even in D mode.

i thought those 2nd hand coe civics in sgcarmart although advertise 5 yrs COE. can actually ask for 10 yrs also? Correct me if i am wrong. cos i also viewing civics. next year may want to change a COE civic FD. So now doing some homework.

Don't quite understand what you are saying. But if the car already renewed COE 5 years then it's 5 years. period. Edited November 2, 2016 by Blueray

Hi guys,

 

Looking for some advice here.

 

My fd4 recently has burning smell on rear right wheel. Can feel some heat from it too.

 

Smell and heat only identified from that wheel as rest of wheels feels and smell ok.

 

Rear brake pads replaced in August 2016.

Nothing stuck in exhaust.

No visible oil leakage front or back of car.

Car can be driven normally in terms of acceleration and stopping.doesn't pull to one side.

 

Only visible difference is that disc has rust around the bottom rim where brake pad is.

 

Got a picture but not sure how to post.

 

Anyway with similar experience?

 

Thanks for reading.

u trying to say those in Sgcarmart civic already renew 5 year COE and u want to ask the dealer to add another 5 more years that make it 10 years m I right ? if that your question I don't think u can do that,cause once u renew 5 year COE u cannot add another 5 more years if u want 10 years must straight renew 10 years u cannot renew already then want add another 5 years to make it 10 years.

I also driving FD4M and base on what u say might be your rear brake caliper jam, bring to your workshop to let them check

[Andyong]

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I suspected that as well but there isn't any drag during acceleration. Car in fact drives pretty smooth.

 

Oh and both rear wheel bearing replaced during replacement of brake pads.

 

It's just the burning smell that I took notice of the wheel.

 

Just to add on. The tyre is still touchable when parked.

 

I probably monitor a few more days and see a mechanic if necessary.

 

Thanks again.

Don't quite understand what you are saying. But if the car already renewed COE 5 years then it's 5 years. period.

 

I think what he meant was those ads where dealers advertise with a  5 year coe renewal price, but also offer a 10 year renewal price option. Iirc, most dealers, at point of putting up the ad, have yet to renew the coe so they are able to give that option (except for some cases where they have alr renewed when putting up the car for sale).

 

From what I know(spoke to a few dealers when we bought a 2nd hand car recently), most dealers only renew upon sale date or upon expiry date (usually they have a buffer of approx 2 weeks to a month or more before original coe expires when they put up the ad).

 

They may even , in some cases renew after expiry as there is a 1 month buffer after expiry to renew, albeit with a late fee (was it $150 I can't quite remember exactly), and usually if the advertised cars past the expiry and can't be sold then they are scrapped/exported

 

Dealers would definitely try to sell certain popular models as renewed coe cars as they stand to make more compared to if they were to just take in and scrap/export. 

 

Cheers :)

yes this is exactly what i meant. Dealers will not renew until a buyer buys the coe cars. otherwise they will be keeping stocks that nobody buys, logically they do business in this way. what is advertised is only say 5 yrs, actually there is option to renew 10 yrs.

Touch the rim and see if it's hotter than the other side. If it does probably maybe a brake jam

if like what u say the car not yet even renew it's 5 year COE then its ok u can let the dealer know u want 10 years they will settle for u all u need is pay money one

Drove home this morning from airport after being away for few days.

 

The rim is much hotter than the rest.

 

I guess it's really the caliper.

 

Time to visit mechanic. Hopefully just servicing and not changing the whole thing.

 

Thanks again.
