Civic 2006 to 2011

Hi Stupid newbie question....Just looking at buying a 2008 civic which is listed as sequential manual. I have also seen sequential autos and wondered if these are different or if they are just different names for the ISHIFT system? MY missis doesn't want to drive an auto or semi auto and I have heard that the I SHIFT system can be problematic? Ta in advance!

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 looking at changing spark plugs on a 2009 civic 1.8 petrol, i have a torque wrench so could do myself which ones would i need and is there a torque setting for them or can i just do hand tight with a wrench? Thanks

Hi guys, I have to replace the A/C compressor on my 2011 Honda Civic 1.4 Petrol, Automatic. My mechanic recommends this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Compressor-fits-HONDA-CIVIC-Hatchback-05-NS89247-/223934914814 Do you think there is a cheaper version for this?

I have had Lionel from new and have wanted to upgrade the feeble horn. How do I get to it and can I fit another one adjacent? I fitted another one in parallel on my Jazz and it sounded great afterwards. That location was in front of the o/s front wheel behind the wheel arch liner. I have finally discovered it down by aircon heat exchanger, RH side when viewed from front. It looks extremely difficult to connect another one in parallel unless I remove sump guard etc.

Hi all I’ve just bought a 2008 civic 2.2 diesel with sat nav in it but the on off and volume control button is missing, where apart from Honda would I be able to buy one from please thanks Sam Dyson

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?). …

My phone won't connect to my civic 2012 I no my phone works and the car Bluetooth works but they won't find each other any help please

Hi. Has anyone got any suggestions about how to improve the fuel economy that does not involve tips on driving behaviour. For example remapping, or new microchip, etc? Many thanks. Pete

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.…

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 everyone, would be grateful for some opinions. I have just purchased a 2009 1.8 manual Civic with around 90,000 miles on it and a mostly full service history. I have had similar aged mazda and fords in the past where I have had the starter motors fail at this age. I can not be left stranded out and about, so I have contacted Honda and asked them how long the starter motors were designed or expected to last. They were unable to answer (even their head office in Japan). Does anyone have any anecdotal experience? Obviously, there is a huge amount of variables and no guarantees. But how long do these tend to last? Do they start failing after i.e. 15…

Hi all, I have a 2007 2.2 diesel I parked it up last October while I was doing bots and pieces I started it in February and as expected it fired right up however I tried starting it 2 weeks ago but it wouldn't even crank over theres a clicking noise from the glow plug relay but nothing else the starter was tested and is fine, I'm stumped any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

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. I have a 57 civic 2.2CDTI type S when the car is cold, it will turn over straight away no issues, however when up to temperature and I turn it off it will struggle to start. has anyone had this issue.

Hi folks Just looking to see if anyone has any idea what is going on with my civic. I own a 2007 Honda Civic type S 1.8 petrol semi-automatic. On Friday when I started it it came up with the system check cog, the engine still run fine but it wouldn't let me go out of neutral. It eventually went away and was okay. I decided not to drive it at this point. Later on I went out to try it again and it worked fine so I took it for a run around the block (which included driving up a hill) and there were no problems. Later that night I went to go out in it to drop someone off, it was okay to start I drove out the street and up a hill and the system check cog came on and i…

Hiya folks. I have an 09 2.2 diesel with an annoying ABS warning light….. The warning came on a few months ago and showed a fault with the OSR sensor. I eventually got round to replacing the offending item o oh to find that a fault was now also showing for the OSF sensor. A pain in the butt, but got that replaced too. The warning light now periodically comes on, and then resets when the ignition is turned off for a period of time. There seems to be no pattern for it in terms of speed, journey duration etc. Sometimes I can do my 20mile commute and it’s fine, other times I might go a mile and it comes on. I’ve had all the sensors disconnected and the con…

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.

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?

Hi Folks! I know my civic is old, its a 55 plate, first reg Feb 06, so probably 05 manufacture, but does anybody know if there is a way of telling how near start of manufacture it is, or how many in the UK are older? Hope to hear from you.
