My 2018 Civic EXT bought new: AC condenser failed at 117k miles (replaced under extended warranty/ for known issue). I noticed the wire covers torn but the exposed wires were undamaged. The most expensive maintenance I’ve had done was replacing the water pump, drive belt, and PCV valve at 120k miles for $1,030. Of course I maintain my Civic with oil/filter changes every 5k miles. I use only Shell Premium fuel for the high detergent to mitigate carbon deposits. I’ve never redlined and I rarely exceed 4k rpm. Other than the AC, I’ve had no issues after nearly five years and 141,900 miles averaging 36.5 mpg (combined). I plan keeping my Civic for at least 300k miles. With my aggressive monthly maintenance, I hope to avoid any major repairs to the engine, turbo, or CVT. BTW…I bought my Civic without any of the Honda Sensing. I know that the electronics are often the first things to fail. One less area for problems if I plan on keeping the Civic for at least ten years.

Thank you so much for a very informative video. I have a question, my daughter has a 2016 honda civic and i use to hear the turbo but not anymore. Her gas mileage has gone down a little. Is there a fuse on the turbo or maybe a air leak? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a 2017 EXT with a 6 speed manual. No problems at all. I not only run higher octane than the normal regular but I also run ethanol free too when I can. And to help the oil dilution issue, I shift at higher RPMs than I normally would and run a gear lower in cruise at whatever speed I am at. I even drive at highway speeds in 5th gear rather than 6th. It still gets superb MPG in 5th gear on interstates. And doing so keeps the combustion temps and cylinder head temps hotter overall. This helps to mitigate oil dilution as it burns more of the gas before it can seep down into the oil. Also in the winter I do not warm up my car at all. I start it and drive away after only 10 seconds. This allows the engine to warm up much faster since it's under load. To warm the engine at idle in 20F takes about 20 minutes, To warm up driving at 3000 RPM from the get go on the road, it warms it up in 4 or 5 minutes. Less time for the gas to leak down into the oil because the oil dilution is much worse when the engine is cold by far. You want a warm engine. Also, with todays thin oils, you really don't have to warm up an engine on a cold morning, the oil circulates right away. Only exception for me is when the temp is below 5 F. In that case I warm up for a minute.

Honda has been replacing steering racks without addressing the real cause..

FYI: put a new battery in it last week. went out to start the car in the morning and got message (parking brake issue) would not start. turns out if the battery dies it will not have enough juice to release the parking brake, no issues with the brake, replace battery.

Point me in the direction where the coolant sensor is by the engine 🥲 long story short I exhausted all possibilities of the gauge on the dashboard staying low when it’s on but not driving. Once I start driving it’ll go up at the normal level and match the heat. I have zero leaks, no engine light on, coolant is in, A/C works, heat works, the air pressure is fine. The only issue is the sensor. So I’m kind of stuck on where it exactly is on my 2018 civic lx.

Bought a 2017 Si brand new. Last summer at 34k the condenser went. Shortly after a rear window motor failed. Then a month ago with 43k every dash light came on. Took to dealer and they said it was a failed head gasket between cylinders 1 and 2. Quoted the job at $7,663. I didnt beat on the car and used nothing but 93 octane. Honda reliability is no more.

I have a 2020 Honda civic LX. I bought the car used with 34k on Odo. And ever since I bought like 9 months back. It started the clunking noise coming from the front left axle, and the right suspension made a thud noise. Took it to Honda they first look at this but couldn't diagnose anything. Well after 3 months with alot of suspension parts changed and left axle changed it is still making the same noise. Can you please help. The clunking noise is heard when you lift up from gas and depress it. And the thud noise is coming from them the suspension drops in dips in the road.

Could be anything from links to loose/under torqued suspension parts, to bad engine mounts. Tough to say from here

2018 Civic LX 2.0l 6spd manual cold start issue. Starting the car first thing in the morning any temperature, turn the key, starter engages, turns over the engine, engine catches, the rpm initially drops to almost a stall then increases to high idle instead of going to a high idle like normal. Every start after that it functions as normal, only on a cold start does it almost stall. Seems to be getting progressively worst and I'm worried one day it won't start.

Possibly a dirty throttle body comes to mind. Wouldn’t be able to say for sure without some data.

Thanks for this video. I've had very very minor problems with my '21 Civic Sedan Sport 2.0 NA. One of them being - the brake PEDAL squeaks about 75% of the time when released, whether the car is on or not... I've taken it to the dealer twice regarding and they lubed but only settles for about a day... any advice? also 2 of my reverse lights have gone out already which is more so annoying than anything.. could be bad bulbs but not a big deal. Just wish I could get the damn brake pedal to stop squeaking when I let go of it haha.

Sounds like it could be something with the brake booster. Not a big deal, but if it’s annoying you, it should be addressed. The reverse bulbs going out is a weird coincidence. Thanks for watching. Good luck

My son just had oil changed, drove 48 miles then motor lost power, all lights on dash on, checked engine oil completely not marking on stick. Engine now smokes white smoke bad, oil tech stated he ran 3-cleaners thur to clean oil, then filled. Any idea what happened. Did he wash the rings out or damage turbo?

Sounds like the oil change tech poked the oil filter to get the wrapping off and a piece of the plastic fell in the filter making itself into the engine and clogging the feed hole for intake cam lubricant. Take it back asap!

I put a boomba bov and have a muffler delete and every now and then my car will not build any boost at all and it sounds like an air leak in the bov. However when I run the car again 1-2 hours later it is back to normal. I had a professional mechanic install the bov so I don’t think that is the problem but the bov itself could be.

Squirrel ate through the speed sensor cable on my Civic (2.0L), and it cost $600 to replace the wiring harness. Found out they like to hide in cars during the summer, even if the cars are daily drivers parked at work. Best defense against this? Keep your engine bay clean and spray peppermint essential oil in the engine bay and wheel wells. Not only does it smell great, the critters hate it.

I would not say that. They have built thousands of 1.5 T and compared to the failures it’s still a low percentage of failures.

It’s like I would never buy something with a K24 as I am tired of putting pistons and timing chains in them, but if you want to tune and mess around the 1.5t was never designed for it or will take the abuse were the K24 will all day long.

The window goes up all the way and then down half way when you try to close it using auto window. I do want to qualify the comment by saying that I do not drive the vehicle all that hard and in fact I drove almost 60k on the original tires and had to replace them not because of tread wear but age. I also want to note that I used 87 octane fuel (regular and not premium) exclusively.

@@BCautosolutions well I checked the things I could, like the coolant. Coolant was fine and I only put 93 in. Doesn't appear to have any other problems yet, starts fine from what I can tell (has around 65,000 so I was worried). Another yt person said it could be a battery wire or the alternator going out. The smell is definitely coming from the drivers side around the fuse box or maybe the battery, not the alternator. Battery looks fine though (from what little I could see) and there was no melted plastic or anything around any wires. But no, no spills, or at least not that I know of or remember but it's used and my ex drove it a ton. I try to keep it as clean as I can in general. It's just weird it has the smell but I have no dash lights at all, no check engine or anything. And absolutely no smell inside the car, it's only when I've parked and I usually notice when I'm transferring my sleeping stuff from the car to my storage unit. Could spilling something there have shorted something in the fuse box? I suppose I'll have to check the fuses individually but just from opening the box (the one under the hood not the interior one) I didn't see anything obviously off. The only thing I could think of is the driver's side marker light has been loose for some time (still works okay, the clip just broke that keeps it secured) or the fog light lens on one of the sides broke somehow. So maybe that's shorted something out? I'll need to look tomorrow and see if it still turns on cause it rarely gets foggy here and I haven't used them in probably half a year at least.

It’s most likely not a problem and on “high” to cool off the condenser for proper ac cooling. Usually if it’s extremely loud is due to an aftermarket fan assembly.
