Itsec 2nd Gear April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 Owners of 1.6NA and 1.5T, do you find your engine vibrate a little too much during idle even when the car was new? https://www.civicx.com/threads/1-5t-engine-and-vibration.868/ Engine vibration is usually due to worn out engine mounting for older cars....should be like that for new cars/ When I tested the 1.6NA, I can definitely feel a mildly strong vibration while stopping at the traffic lights, like the air con cutting in and out vibration/ sound. Seems to be the norm for 1.5T, but even the 1.6NA? Some even suggested this is normal for honda cars? "Welcome to Honda ownership. Every single 4 cylinder Honda/Acura I've owned has had more vibrations than you'd normally find in other cars at idle." I don't feel it on my 1.5... what's your mileage? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DACH Supersonic April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 How strong is the vibration ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WONWON 1st Gear April 6, 2018 Share April 6, 2018 How strong is the vibration ? Car was a 1.6NA test drive at Kah. Maybe my expectations are too high, the vibration seems to be from the air con cutting in and out, where the rpm goes to 800 then back to 700....both during idle after starting engine and at the traffic lights. Also when I get down from the car and check outside the exhaust seems to be muffle rattling.....is that typical of honda cars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should go to another Koh Motor showroom and test drive their Civic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryxwee 2nd Gear April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 Hi guys, considering to get civic 1.5T recently. After research, found majority of China CVR owners 1.5T engine having oil diluted issue which means petrol mixed with engine oil, some of civic 1.5T also kena. China Honda had make recall on those effected vehicles. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/japan-s-honda-to-recall-roughly-350-000-cars-in-china-over-engine-issue-9952684 So like to check Singapore civic 1.5T owner whether facing similar issue. Im looking at the 1.5T as well and 2nd time this has appeared in this thread. But doubt owners here check their engine oil levels themselves. Furthermore, it doesn't cause immediate problems to the drive. I've been reading quite a bit in the civicx forums, might be helpful. https://www.civicx.com/threads/fuel-dilution-with-gas-check-yours.20605/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 If so, Is the more frequent oil change on the 1.5t due to petrol-oil dilution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WONWON 1st Gear April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 I don't feel it on my 1.5... what's your mileage? Sounds like this and when the air con compressor cut in, the rattling sound will be louder with rmp up as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelaihoyin 5th Gear April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 Sounds like this and when the air con compressor cut in, the rattling sound will be louder with rmp up as well. Thought that is normal for all DI engines? Cant hear anything weird 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itsec 2nd Gear April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 Sounds like this and when the air con compressor cut in, the rattling sound will be louder with rmp up as well. mine also... but I couldn't confirm (don't feel) there's rattling sound when rev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WONWON 1st Gear April 7, 2018 Share April 7, 2018 mine also... but I couldn't confirm (don't feel) there's rattling sound when rev Correction, no rattling sound but just vibration inside cabin. Vibration is more evident in D mode while stopping at traffic lights. Muffle rattling is at the exhaust.....think this is just normal for Honda. Toyota and Nissan's exhaust are quieter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single 4 cylinder Honda/Acura I've owned has had more vibrations than you'd normally find in other cars at idle." The idle rpm for the Civic fluctuates about 50-100 rpm while on Park and Drive mode, the vibration happens when on the higher rpm and is stronger at D mode. Some say this is typical of Honda cars due to SOHC 4 stroke engine. Is that the case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
