My oil leak is the power steering. Theres a TBS on this. Its a fitting on the low psi / return side of the pump. No biggy at all. Nothing to do with your issue.
I have seen the issue that concerns you. My car does the same exact thing. I brought this up to my dealer also. They say they see it on all the r18 Civics also.
I stoped mine with a engine under belly pan. I have noticed from day one that a ton of air goes up into the engine bay. I aways had a dirty engine bay, road salts and grim loaded in the hood insultion pad. Its bugged me from day one. I would see the build up your seeing wipe it out and two weeks later it was back. BUT it seems to only get so bad. So I made and installed my engine belly pan. Cleaned my engine bay up. The goo has not returned in full force for two weeks. Theres some there but not like it was. I honestly thing its a catch area for road grim and muck. Why there I dont know.
Im very impressed with my dealer. Ive bought two new cars from them in the last 7 or 8 months. This is my first exp. with them for warrenty work and they did very good IMO. All concerns and issues will be addressed.
2. Look beneath the dashboard for any screw. It all snap-on, don't afraid to pull it off. Always start from the bottoma nd move up toward you.
3. Remove the middle console of where you install the aux.
I hope this help, sorry if direction very professional. Have question which part, just asked :shades:
I would like to get to the 12V section of the pocket, not
the radio, but as you stated it is a lot of works and look like that I will have to remove the radio part in order
to get to the center pocket section, not worth the hassle.
Thanks for your help as always,
Regards,

Just a note though - you may not have noticed, but you have an Edit link available for about 30 minutes after you've posted in case you see something you want to change. It's just underneath or to the right of the post title. Hope this helps.
Playing with the 12v section
This would be simpler I guess :shades:

The Edit and Delete links go away after about 30 minutes.
Email me if this doesn't make it clear - we'll get it figured out.
Still not crazy about the low sound in the cabin, my Sentra really kicked [non-permissible content removed] with it's Road Trip set up. Will eradicate this problem soon. Love my music loud & with a rich sound the envelopes you.

If I may be so bold - how much for the tint? My dealer doesn't offer it as an option.

I do recall more than a few people mentioning something about sagging springs, which would cause the gap issue.
Now that you mention it, I might as well check from left to right since I already checked from front to back.
I hope I don't have this problem as my car has been back to the dealer 2 times now and every time they stain my car with grease and such inside.
Bad door seals
Bad shocks
What else?
Mark
Hmm, I never heard about the bad door seals but here are some things to keep an eye out for, some of which has been posted and some of which are on my own car.
#1 front or rear end suspension noise, etc
#2 if you car comes with bridgestones, a hum at highway speed, something about belts in the tires.
#3 Sagging springs
#4 possible power steering fluid leak or oil leaks
#5 possible weak A/C
#6 some interior issues like panel gaps and or seat seams coming undone.
I myself have a 06 LX with 2000 miles, my only problems thus far was a weak AC, front right end noise over bumps, bad alignment from the day I picked up the car, fixed by dealer, panel keeps popping out near seatbelt on passenger side, very small oil residue rear right corner on valve cover.
I still love the car and after 2000 miles, the car has settled and broken in a bit and drives and feels great.
Remember, first year production model, totally new design in and out, you have to expect a few problems.
Luckily, I think my problems were not as bad as people having entire suspensions replaced, etc.
Good luck when you get your car, you will love it I am sure.
The Sandman
What do you think - does waiting until the END of the first year (like NOW) help at all or are redesigned systems held up until the next model year?

I also wanted to note that I observed the second day I had the car the ride height difference with the driver's side being lower. It was that noticable. I was again told everything was normal, but I have to wonder if I had a sagging spring, back shock or something that may have been contributing to the instability I felt.
I am just one of the many people complaining here about minor to moderate problems with their civics, etc.
We can go round and round about them but I guess it does no good until Honda issues recalls on the issues we know and they know are true and valid. We also all know that it does not take much time for a car mfg'r to find why the problems are being cause.
My guess is why release recalls and hurt sales of a newly designed vehicle that can also hurt future sales of the same shape and style car.
Would it not be great for Honda to read a forum like this because I truely believe, the dealerships don't report all problems to the mfg'r. Only the warranty repairs get reported and that's only because the dealer wants to be reimbursed by the mfg'r.
Half the problems we go in for, when not fixed, don't get reported and thus, no effort gets put into finding the problem and then issueing recalls.
We all know TSB's are not truely suppose to be known by the buyers of the vehicle and when I mentioned some of them to my dealership for the problems I was having they made believe they had no idea there were any.
Just my thoughts and to be honest, eventhough I have my share of problems with my car, I still love it and enjoy driving it and really like the design, shape, styling, blah blah blah.
It surely beats driving my 05 scooby that was t-boned and had 14,000 worth of damage.
We sometimes have to not take for granted we drive a civic as there are many people in the world that would die or give anything to have a car period, let alone a new one with some minor problems.
None of the above was meant to sound rude or mean. Just my feelings on things.

EX coupe......
Also glad to see HOST directed problems to a new thread.
Ive had some problems come up with my Civic. I expected them to be quite honest. Its a first year of a new gen. There will be problems. I look at it as a adventure and one I can take knowing I have a rare 5MT Sedan with Navi. :shades:
There is soooo much to like and enjoy concerning this car. It just dosent seem to do it or the owners justic to get all bent about issues and bugs that are going to surface given the production situation concerning the car.
I do feel sorry for those that got screwed around when purchasing there cars and way way over paided for them. Then couple that with a hord service dept, it could get frustrating very fast.
I paided $416 above invoice in Dec / 05 for the Civic and $300 under invoice for the Accord in May / 05.
What good things have happened in your Civic? What kinda fun have you had? Planing any road trips? what about the car do you like?
Lets share some fun and intresting things about our cars! after all we are a part of the Civic Nation!
Ive taken our civic to weddings. It will do its first funeral in the morning. I know it will handel its self well.
Ive taken it on many trips into western Arkansas. It loves to slice around on two lane twistys and make the tach sore to redline. Or can be a humble gas miser.
Here is a link to a road trip we took to PHX. http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=535
Even with a few problems my Civic is a great car. I expect nothing less than 300k miles out of it.
Enjoy
psy
I have taken my LX on a few camping trips Upstate NY and really enjoyed the trip in my car.
It handled the twistys and hills just fine with gear and wife in tow, hahaha.
After 2000+ miles I still like looking at it and eventhough I still have some odd noises and such, the car still makes me happy.
I hope to take a long trip down to Lancaster PA etc.
Driving my civic is fun and eventhough it's no race car, it surely does not bore me like some other cars that are on the market right now.
I've already addressed the lack of 6 speakers by putting in tweeters. The only other thing I really wanted from the EX were the alloys. Didn't really want the sunroof, but the discs would've been nice.
Any help would be appreciated.

After so many delays and holidays, I just finished my
AUX port installation on my 2006 LX sedan last weekend.
Thank you for your many helps.
By the way, do you know that the 2006 EX sedan comes
with remote trunk locking feature?. I would like to install
the same feature for my LX, do you know if that is
possible?, please let me know. Thanks.
2006civiclx
Bad new. Sorry, only the Si Civic Model carry the remote locking feature. I really don't know it will fit a LX,EX Sedan. The trunk size is not the same diameter. Yet, The ideas has great possibilities. Install a upgrade security system w/ your OEM. I'm thinking of doing it later on. Right now, I'm focusing on getting a B-pillar decals,Mugen style window visors,and the door sill plate with CIVIC logo. :shades:
anytime time need help, just asked. Thanks
