    Hi all, I Recently had the car in for a diagnostic check and the garage confirmed the engine was getting up to temp (78c)? but the heater in this car is useless! I have it on max constantly and in this weather the car is never warm inside even after 40+ minutes of driving. The air that comes out of the vents is tepid at best. I am having to wear my coat, hat and gloves all the time while driving this car! 😨 I know diesels do take a while to warm up but surely this is not right? I did ask the garage to investigate it but they were a bit dismissive and just said the car is getting up to temp and the heater works... The car is a 2007 Civic 2.2ctdi.…

    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 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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    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?

    Hi, my Speedo on my 2011 Civic 2.3 cdti is playing up. It'll be fine then it will start flashing 888 or more commonly you can see 888 in the background but still see the actual speed as its brighter. A new speedo is in the region of £700 from Honda. My questions are:- anyone know if there's a way to try and fix it and if not there's lots of second hand ones listed on ebay. They all seem to a different E numbers. Will one from a early manufacture still work in mine? Thanks for your help. Mags

    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 there, I've wanted to change the head unit in my 2014 Honda Civic to something a little bit more modern. I took the car to Halfords as they seemed to be good value. However, they tried installing the stereo only to find that the stereo would turn itself off after about a minute or so. They tried two different units (Kenwood and Pioneer) and the same thing happened. In the end I think they just gave up as they didn't know what the issue was. Apparently they tried a few cables too, to no avail. Thankfully, I was not charged for anything. Does anyone know why this might happen? The standard stereo works fine, so doesn't seem to be a power issue (or a cabling issue?). …

I looked on the internet but couldn't find any useful information so I thought maybe someone has this car and know which roof rack will be the best for it.
