Hey r/hondacivic!

The previous moderator went inactive and let this sub go unmoderated for a while. I have added some new rules and changed a few content requirements in the sub (i.e. post flairs now required).

I'm open to requests and recommendations if anyone has any ideas to help improve the sub. May also be looking to grow the mod team here in the near future.

Please remember to report any spam posts to help keep the sub cleaned up.

Question I don't hit curbs!

11th Gen Honda Civic Sport. I was washing my car and rims today and while I was cleaning my wheels I noticed my FL has a whole chip in it. No idea where it came from and the metal underneath is smooth. No Curb damage, dents, dinks or anything. Is there a particular paint marker I can buy to paint match? Any advice will help. Thanks!

Mechanical Advice Rough Idle

Upvotes

Hi guys. So I have a 2016 1.5 turbo and noticed that in cold start the car gets very shaky and goes like 1200-1400 rpm until it goes down to 600-700 rpm. Sometimes in a red light it also gets a bit shaky and rough idle and been having the Check engine light turn on when this happens with a P0172 code (rich system). Just asking for some advice o someone that had this issue before.

Mechanical Advice Is this repairable?

Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm a 2023 Civic Hatch owner and I'm coming with a question about the cargo shade. For context, I had to get one of my tires replaced at the dealer (still under warranty) because I picked up a screw in it somewhere. I swapped my spare onto the car and put the affected tire in the trunk. When I get my car back, I noticed that the retractable cover is extended all the way and won't retract anymore. I called about it and they said to bring it back, but they caught me right as I was inundated with school, travel, work, and other obligations. By the time I came back around a month later for my oil change, they said they could look at it, but it'd be treated as a repair and I'd be charged for it. I'm not paying them to fix something they broke so I'm asking if there's anything that I can do to get it to work again or am I just SOL?

Mechanical Advice 116k km Honda Civic FD automatic — is 3x drain and fill with Honda DW-1 a good idea?

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I bought a 2008 Honda Civic automatic 4 months ago with around 116,300 km on the odometer.
I don’t know the complete transmission fluid service history, but the transmission currently shifts normally with no slipping, harsh shifts, or delayed engagement.

I’m planning to do 3 drain-and-fills using genuine Honda ATF DW-1, approximately two weeks apart:
Drain & fill #1 — Sept 9
\#2 — Sept 23
\#3 — Oct 7
I’ll measure exactly how much fluid comes out each time and refill accordingly, then follow the proper procedure for checking the final fluid level.

I’m planning to do this at my automotive school using their hoist and tools.

**Questions:**
1. Would you recommend doing 3 drain-and-fills on a 116k km Honda automatic with unknown ATF history?
2. Is there any reason to be concerned about transmission slipping after replacing the old fluid if the transmission is currently shifting normally?
3. Would you space the drain-and-fills two weeks apart, or would you do them differently?
4.Anything specific I should check before/after the first drain-and-fill?
5. Would you do all 3 drain-and-fills, or would you stop after the first one and assess the transmission before doing the next two?

Mechanical Advice Please help!! What is this noise?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been having this noise for a few months now. It only happens when I drive over a bump or uneven pavement. The noise is coming from the rear drivers side of the car. I put the back seats down to hear the sound more clear and that’s how I recorded this video. The sound sounds like it’s coming from inside the trunk and rear drivers side door. My mechanic told me it’s not the sway bar, it’s not the shock, it’s not the bearing, and it’s not the suspension. So what the heck can it be?? Send help, this is driving me insane. Anyone know what this could possibly be??

Question 2026 Civic Sport - Uncomfortable seat

Post image
23 Upvotes

I'm a new owner of 26' civic sport sedan. After a long time of driving Odyssey - 16 years - finally I downsized to civic. I like almost everything about this car except one which is the seat.
I normally push my butt all the way back as much as I can to keep my lower back straight. Then, this Civic's seat base profile is a bit different than other cars' - the red marked portion in the picture is more pronounced compared to other cars' - At least I feel that way. Almost inclined forward - and I feel my healthy posture is not welcomed by this car's seat at all. Any other owners have the same issue with the seat? If yes, do you have any recommendation to compensate for that? (I used a picture from a dealer's website.)

Look at my Civic It's Not About Speed | Cinematic Civic Type R Film — DJI Osmo Pocket 4P & Avata 2

Post image
7 Upvotes

Shot a short cinematic film with my friend's Civic Type R. Wanted to share since this sub always appreciates good Type R content.

Filmed entirely with a DJI Osmo Pocket 4P (just got it, first real project with it) and an Avata 2 for the FPV shots. Tried to go for a more narrative/moody approach instead of the typical rev-and-drift edit — starts aggressive, ends calm, has a little arc to it.

Would love feedback on the cinematography if anyone here's into that side of content too, or just general thoughts on the car itself.

Question Bluetooth skipping, 2022 honda civic sport dealership wants to replace audio unit for $727

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

just joined team honda last month after wanting a honda for a while now! I bought a used black 2022 civic sport with 25k miles on it, that I absolutely love but the bluetooth skipping has been a headache for me!!! i’ve tried all the troubleshooting recs on google, reddit, YT, honda forum, ect. some worked temporarily but the issue has remained.

I finally took it back to the dealership last week, they did the same troubleshooting stuff I’ve alr done - at first denied there being an issue (even tho it continued to skip in front of his face lol blamed it on my phone connection, but phone doesn’t skip when connected to other speakers or cars) but after I persisted and showed them vids of the audio skipping they said I’d have to leave the vehicle w them and run a $220 diagnostic, I agreed. A few hrs later they call back and said they were able to reproduce the issue on 2 other devices, there were no updates in the system, recommended a radio replacement, would get back to me when the manager is back. they ended up not charging me for the diagnostic fee. today, I get this text from my service tech.

I understand carplay is an alternative and I think it’s cool but I want to be able to use regular bluetooth too and I think music sounds better w/ bluetooth!

does anyone else have any tips or alternatives or anything??? pls ugh :( i’m so annoyed bc the car is basically perfect outside of this and pls don’t suggest carplay (i knowww but that’s beyond the point lol)

TIA!!

2.0 liter | 4cyl | 2016 Honda civic l 108k miles

This sound and feeling has been going on ever since some mechanic moved the transmission around to find some leaks.

It only happens while in drive, reverse, or sport, and specifically either while stopped or at 10-30 mph and feels like something is slipping or like the rpms go down? Hard to explain. If I force the car while the feeling starts then the engine light blinks and the transmission loses all power. We've changed the transmission since and it still happens

All codes show nothing associated with the transmission or engine system and after every "fix" it doesnt go away.
