Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Does the City has only one reverse lamp? My friend who bought his SV CVT is having only one reverse lamp lighting up. |

Same here. Did a TON of searching all through the Net but couldn't find them anywhere. All the review sites say "gear ratios are short and tuned for maximising FE". The closest information available is for the 1.6L i-DTEC for the Civic and the CR-V, which states: 3.642:1 first gear ratio, 1.884:1 second gear ratio, 1.179:1 third gear ratio, 0.869:1 fourth gear ratio, 0.705:1 fifth gear ratio, 0.592:1 sixth gear ratio and 3.673:1 reverse gear ratio manual. Final Reduction Ratio = 4.352. (for the Civic 1.6 i-DTEC Comfort & for the CR-V) Considering that the 1.6L has been re-bored to make this 1.5L i-DTEC for our country, it's safe to assume that the gear ratios are shorter than the ones specified above. Exact info can only be given by the technical staff of Honda India. Quote:

Yes it is. Nope. The City has 2 reverse lamps on either side. Tell your friend to get it checked at the Honda A.S.S. center. One of the bulbs might have gone kaput. | ||||

Standard in all Mercedes. Observed the same behaviour in my C220. Merc technician said the vehicle is meant to auto-unlock doors in an accident. Guess this impact sensor gets triggered by sharp pothole jolts. |

That's when I got the doubt, whether it has something to do with the SV trim. Edit: They fixed it! Still wondering why they gave wrong info initially. Last edited by sarathlal : 16th July 2014 at 15:56. | |

After Peninsular repaired it, this is not happening but the door needs a slightly heavy push to close now. Seems they have tightened it a bit too much. Taking to them again to correct it and will ask for a clarification on when it should actually unlock. | |

Even I could not find any gear ratios mentioned in the booklet. I got my first service done from Courtesy Honda yesterday and it took about 2 hours for the same. Even the service guys had no clue of gear ratios. ![]() But seeing the mileage I have been getting on tankful-to-tankful method, I do not see any issues in the gear ratios I have been using. Looking out next for : 1. Fog lamps 2. Reverse parking sensors 3. 3M car coating and under body rust. Does anybody know that 3M guys do all this in Faridabad ? I can see just one authorised shop at Kailash Colony, New Delhi and I'm not in great mood to drive from Faridabad to get these treatments done. | |

Avi has given quite a good info about estimated gear ratio few posts below. Still, I will check it on my first service and if they are clueless will drop a mail to Honda. What is the mileage you are getting in city driving? Till now I am getting 15.6 as per MID which includes a lot of bumper to bumper drive. AC is 100% on. | |

I think always it is better to get alignment work done at one place only. In my Punto I used to get it done at dealership during service and next one at outside(after 6 months/5Kms) to avoid any warranty issue. But my tires were replaced at 21K due to bad alignment. Better check with Honda whether the warranty will be valid if we get the alignment done at outside. Last edited by Stratos : 17th July 2014 at 14:54. Reason: Corrected 'Quote' tag |

| ![]() Hi BHPians, I have booked the Honda City VX IDtec MT variant and it seems ages before I would have my hands on it. I am committed a timeline of October. I have a quick question - Does the top end VX and the V variants both have the heat absorbing windshield glasses ? Can anybody confirm ? Some SA say that it is present in both variants, some say it is available only in the VX variant however, i did not see it on any of the Honda City brochures. Please update ? Regards |
