Civic 2006 to 2011

Hatchback, Hybrid & Type-R

  1. Started by Danny_uk8385,

    Can anyone help. My 2007 2.2 diesel type s decided to play up when I needed to get to work. I started to clear the frost my windscreen came back to it 15 minutes later and noticed alll the dash lights are on and the dash flickering and getting brighter as I rev it. The steering wheel was locked in place and the power steering warning light on. It had been fine the day before and the battery is less than 18 months old. I have gone back to the car just a second ago all the dash is on and still flickering radio works but now it won't start. My mechanic is in bed with man flu is there anything I can try in the mean time? Many thanks

    I have a '61 reg 1.8 Civic ES . I want to buy a space saver wheel to replace the repair kit , which is date-expired anyway . The car has 17" alloys fitted , and on the face of things I can find lots of space-saver wheels on Ebay etc . However , I have seen references to wheels not fitting cars with the larger backplates , and mine has these . How do I ascertain that a given wheel will fit over my large backplates ? What is the spec I need to look for ? Thanks hopefully ..........

    I have a 2013 Honda Civic. Occasionally when you have been driving it and switch off the engine to pop into the shop it won't start. The engine is cranking but its not catching. If you wait 30 minutes after switching it off it will start no trouble. It has been to the Honda dealership to go on the diagnostic machine but they couldn't find any fault. If I have to switch the engine off i worry it won't start and i also can't use the stop/start as a result. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    I have a 2015 Civic. Using the Source button on the steering wheel I scroll through the audio options. When I reach the DAB option the audio continues with the previous option, medium wave. All other options work normally. Trouble is the DAB option is the one I use most. Any help would be appreciated.

    Good morning fellow Civic owners. Has anyone had experience of a leaking aircon system? Days after regassing only warm air was coming through. A dye test showed no leak in the pipe, so it might be condenser or compressor? Would be interested to hear anyone's similar experience and outcome? Thanks in anticipation.

    Evening I’m having an issue with my civic 57 plate. The heater blower works when it wants to which generally never. I’ve checked the fuses and they are fine. I’ve seen on YouTube that the resistor and fan motor are often the problem. The videos are generally in USA so not sure if the cars are built the same way. any help appreciated

    Hi all, New Honda ownere here, recently picked up a bargain Civic 2.2 ctdi. I've notice the temp guage never quite hits the middle even on extended drives (see pic) The heater does also seem a little weak in cold weather. Is this right or is the the thermostat shot? Is there any way I can see what temp the engine is actually running at without a diagnostic machine? Cheers, Niall

    I read somewhere that it is good to clean the MAF Sensor (Mass Air Flow sensor) every now and again with some isopropyl alcohol from Maplins. Anyone else done this? Any tips? thanks

    Hi guys, i have a 2006 honda civic 1.8, a few months ago when not started for a couple of days the battery would drain, and i would have to jump start, then all would be fine as long as i started and ran the car daily, the past couple of weeks as soon as i turn off the engine the car is dead and will not start, i changed the battery a few months ago thinking it was that, the car runs fine when running, i am reluctant to take to a garage as im worried they will throw the parts cannon at it, Also i did remove the bluetooth module as i had heard that this was a common problem with these cars, it made no diference thanks steve

    Thinking about a 2012 Civic automatic. A couple of queries:- What are the headlights like. It may seem an odd question but on some cars the later LED or HID units are so much better than Halogen bulbs. Are Civic Halogen, LED or HID? Also are there any issues or problems with the auto boxes? I would also like some of the modern safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking but I am bnot sure which Hondas have that and what year that was introduced?

    Hey everyone. I just bought a used 2014 Honda civic. When I start the car up after leaving it for an extended period of time (like in the morning or after a 12 hour shift at work), the cruise control won't work and the green arrows for shift up and down don't show. The only way to get it to work that I have found is to turn the car off and back on again. The problem only occurs after the car is off for extended periods. Is this an issue? What causes this and can it be fixed?
