well i just got a 07 lx last week. has 30 miles on it. 4 dr 5 spd. At.
every time you drive it 1,2 usually u hear the engine making a UFO humming noise. just want to make sure if thats how it should be like. Car was made in march so i got a really brand new car. Made in Usa if that makes any difference and tranny in Japan.
Also my coolent is on the min. line. will Honda fill it up for me for free or no?

 

not sure about the "ufo" noise, but if you're low on coolant already, i would most definately bring it in to honda. they may have not filled it up completely before delivery or you could be leaking coolant.

 

also i want to purchase the fogs from ebay . JDm yellow. has anyone purchased them before. how hard was the install. thanks

i doubt i have a leak. they just probably filled it up low. is should be half way when car is cold right?

humming noises yah i don't know whats up with that. i think its normal tho because i test drove a another civic and it worked the same. but i just want to make sure.


Driving it slow since its in the break in period right now and want to get 89 fual upgrade as soon as i am almost done with the crappy 87. Do gas stations make a difference like shell, Bp, citco?

I only read this far and I can answer, they are junk, OEM all the way.

The coolant level may be on the min line when the car is cold, check it agai after driving a bit.

 

bump. still wan to make sure the noise is normal. thanks. just got back from a auto store bought come cleaning supplies and car wash , polish, and wax.

 

no noise in ours, take it to the dealer and tell them

 

coolant level, are you refering to the white tank? that is an overflow tank. not reservoir. open ur radiator cap, check if the tank is full. if its good, ur fine.

ive never heard what a ufo sounds like, but i work at a honda dealership and never heard of any strange noise. good luck.

 

Its probably the belts

when the car is standing you'll hear a little faint whistle etc

 

its only when you drive usually u can hear it teh most 1st gear to second (tis auto) its like a hovering sound.

 

I ordered K2 fogs off of ebay. I read alot of good reviews and a couple of bad reviews. But it seems like that one is the best to get if you want to get ebay fogs.

 

 

damm. but it sais o6 models ?

read the repair procedure problem
print that and ask yyour dealer

 

may i ask where you got this page from? is there a site? thanks

 

someone had the same problem on another website and she posted up that bulletin...
there's nothing on other websites about this issue. But print it out and take it to your dealership while going for a drive with a tech to let them know of the problem

 

We replaced an AC compressor on a new Civic a while back because of a similar humming/"UFO" sound. I think that the TSB posted above is your best bet though.

 

checked with the vin and my number doesn't match.

 

ps. would there be any negative results if i decide to keep the current one or just replace it when it will be still under warrenty. i feel as if i give the car to honda they will expletive something up

if they do f'up on ur ride then you'll have warranty...
Even if ur viN doesnt match up go on a road test with a tech and let him know the sound is similar to what the tbs says or advertises

 

any one wana bet they will say its normal. ?

Is it loud? From your description just seems like it's the normal sound of the tranny. Sure you just don't have the new car jitters where you think every little thing different than your last car is abnormal?

 

i dont drive the car much. ill take it out this weekend for a drive in the nice w heater. alot of ACID rain falling here. lol and ill chek it out more.

 

well actually there is another problem with the car. there is a little oil on the tranny. idk why but i wiped it off and was still there the next day. so im going so they check it out and ill show them this Ufo noise aswell.
