    When sending my videos the recipient (Apple), before viewing, he must give  personal data and , truly obnoxious, acres to all his photos.

    This also possibly sounds like an app requesting permissions. Some of these permissions sound bad but are actually necessary to allow the app to work.  For example, if you download a photo viewer app, it needs permissions to view the photos.

    The 1.0 Honda 'P10A' engine is one of a number of 1.0 litre 'turbo triples' that have been introduced over the last decade. They are small, light and efficient - although mostly don't live up to their advertised fuel economy.  Almost all of these engine have inferior long term reliability compared to the four cylinder normally-aspirated engines they replaced.

     

    The Honda engine was in fact developed for Honda by FEV Group of Aachen, Germany.  It was not developed by Honda.  I don't know the situation in Thailand but in the UK and Europe some of these engines are failing at low mileage with serious damage. Personally I would not buy any Honda with the three cylinder turbo.  There are still bugs to be worked out.

    If you want big power from small displacement then forced induction is the only way.

    This stresses all mechanical components in the engine and drivetrain.

    As has been posted above - don't expect these engines to have anywhere near the lifespan of a larger displacement naturally aspirated engine.

    Manufacturers do this to reduce the CAFE (corporate average fuel economy) number.

    There is NO free lunch.

    So, basically it is too good to be true...?

     

    Would these issues present themselves more or less on a car that was mostly driven in an urban environment with occasional trips of about 50-60 km on a highway?

  3. 2009 Honda City

    1497 cc

    120 PS

    145 Nm

     

    2022 Honda City

    988 cc

    122 PS

    122 Nm

     

    Both have similar weights.

     

    This would suggest that despite a much lower engine capacity, the new Honda City's are at least as powerful (if not slightly better) than the older engines.  I appreciate that engine technology will have developed in the last decade but are 1.0l engines really that good now?

    The fans should start about immediately if you start the car idle with AC on. If not, you have a problem either with fan motors or temperature switch.

    I replaced both my fans recently after the wife submerged the car in water.. They were sort of still running but at a very low speed/erratic. Motors were damaged.

     

    Engine will not overheat so quickly if you have a fan failure. There is still circulation of coolant. With a pump failure or air pockets however it will happen very fast.

    Thanks for this info.  I'll check it out properly when I have time later.

    How does the OP know what is in the radiator now is the correct coolant? Excessive dilution of coolant or substitution of plain water is a possibility.

    Simple answer is I can't.

     

    Even if I took a photo of the bottle they gave me with the excess, I would still be difficult to know if they diluted it correctly. (there is green fluid so there is coolant in the reservoir). Maybe I should just take it somewhere else and get the coolant completely changed again.

    It could well be the fan motor, its sensor, or its relay. when the temp reaches normal or slightly above the fan should run, it should also run when you first turn on A/C.    When the car is cold, remove the rad cap, to see if it is full, run a while with cap off if your worried about air locks, you can normally see the coolant circulating .Water pumps normaly leak when nackered.

    just to add, i once brought a fan motor from Nissan lasted only 15k klm 6k baht ! Brought an after sales motor from GT battery shop still works after 3yrs 2k baht. 

    Thanks for this info.

     

    I don't think the fan (There are actually 2 fans) is kicking in.  But if the fan was the problem would the engine not overheat quite quickly at idle because there is no airflow through the radiator?
