Honda Civic 4D

Honda Civic eighth generation in the body of the sedan was produced from 2006 to 2011. The cars were assembled at Honda plants in their homeland and in Turkey. Civic 4D Japanese production is more high-quality assembly and is known as more reliable. Many of the first copies have already been wound up over 150 - 200 thousand km. In the discipline of "reliability" the car performed even very well.

Engine

Honda sedan for the Russian market was offered only with one engine of 1.8 liters (140 hp). The engine gave the Civic 4D good dynamics and good economy. There are no serious problems with the power unit.

Owners sometimes notice increased vibration of the engine when working at idle. The reasons are the lack of voltage of the battery (full discharge after 3-4 years of operation). Another reason is the engine support that failed, often the left. It becomes unusable after 60 – 80 thousand km. The new support costs about 6 – 8 thousand rubles.

On the 2008 Honda Civic 4D, the manufacturer recommends replacing the radiator due to possible leakage from exposure to road reagents. Dealers make replacements under warranty.

When running more than 60 – 80 thousand km often begins to leak the sealing ring of the stubborn lid camshaft - due to "drying". After 90 - 120 thousand km can flow and the crankshaft. The work on its replacement is estimated by services at 5-7 thousand rubles.

Oxygen sensors nurse about 80 – 100 thousand km. The new will cost 11-12 thousand rubles, an analogue of 4-5 thousand rubles. The catalyst can “die” after 100 thousand km, while the “Check” will light up, and the engine thrust will significantly decrease.

Many people take the rattling on the right side of the engine for a malfunction of the engine. In fact, the sound makes a “dying” clip of the tensioner. With prolonged operation of the "noisy" roller, its jamming can occur. There are cases of destruction of the support of the tension roller of the belt or the bolt of its fastening when running more than 80,000 km.

Transmission

Honda Civic 4D with a manual transmission when running more than 30 – 60 thousand km, after a long push in traffic jams, begins to shake significantly on the 1st and 2nd gears - after releasing the clutch pedal. A specific cause of this phenomenon is not yet known. But there are a couple of solutions that eliminate unpleasant manifestations. This is the lubrication of the clutch fork, as well as cleaning from dirt and lubricating the shaft with slats on which the squeezed one moves.

When running more than 100 thousand km on some Civic 4D, the bearing of the primary shaft of the manual transmission noised. The clutch of the box runs at least 150 - 170 thousand km. The clutch set costs about 8 – 13 thousand rubles, work on its replacement will require about 6 thousand rubles. There is also a clicking of the clutch pedal. After lubricating the knot and springs, foreign sounds go away.

The machine, when running more than 60 – 90 thousand km, begins to “kick” when switching from the 2nd to the 3rd gear. Less often, there is a “hang” in the 4th gear, without switching to the 5th. The oil replacement provided by the regulations every 45 thousand km, does not always eliminate the appearance of the "latch". The glands of the drives often begin to "snot" after 60 - 80 thousand km.

Walking

Many note a weak rear suspension, which strongly settles under load and "breaks through" on irregularities. The rear springs are already subsided when running more than 80 - 120 thousand km. This in turn leads to increased load on the rear shock absorbers, which begin to “sweat”.

The bearings begin to crunch when turning the steering wheel after 30 – 50 thousand km. The cause of creaking can be the anthers of the front shock absorber - due to the stuffed sand in the upper part. In this case, cleaning of problem areas and lubrication with silicone-based compositions will help.

The rear stage bearings can sound after 60 – 100 thousand km. The replacement is made in the collection with a hub, the cost of which is 5-6 thousand rubles. Stabilizer racks, like bushings, run at least 100,000 km.

When running more than 30 – 60 thousand km, the steering rack begins to knock. The reason for the knocking is the wear of the right sleeve. Dealers take 12 – 20 thousand rubles for repair of the rack, a new one can be purchased for 25 – 40 thousand rubles. Steering rods serve at least 60 – 100 thousand km (2 – 2.5 thousand rubles), steering tips – 45 – 60 thousand km.

Other problems and malfunctions

Cars older than 4-5 years often suffer from bloating paintwork in the rear arches. Bubbles can also appear on the outer contour of the rear doors and in the gutter. On the front headlights of some cars appeared clouding of the glass from the inside. Dealers made replacement of problem optics under warranty. To replace the burned-out passing beam lamps and dimensions will have to remove the flaps. To access the lamps of the left headlight from above, it is necessary to remove the battery and the antifreeze tank. Access to the right headlight from above is a little more difficult. Fog lights in the front bumper are in great demand among night "robbers". They steal them a lot. After long-term operation of the car can be soldered cartridge with a lamp in the stop light. The reason is the close location of the lamp legs with a glass base. Because of the souring trapezoid wipers can live their lives – stop at the most inopportune moment in the most unnecessary place. Salon Honda Civic 4D in winter often creaks, often the front panel. The back shelf might creak. Not uncommon and "cracker" glove compartment cover in the upper right corner. To eliminate the sound, you need to glue the “madeline” cover and its response part on the panel. Easily erasable pads of clutch and brake pedals, as well as the braiding of the steering wheel and gear shift handles will prompt the real mileage of the car. The scuffs appear after 50 – 70 thousand km. On the Honda Civic 4D older than 3-5 years, you may experience problems with the ignition lock.
