petrol

Hi all, Stumbled on this forum about a month ago and been reading lots of threads, seems like a great place :) I'd like to get a 1.8 litre petrol 8th gen. Current plan is to get an 8th gen, keep it for a few years, then get a 9th gen, keep that for a few years, and then get an EV (hopefully a...

Hi! I want to buy a 5d honda civic 2006+ it will be my first car. Mileage ~100,000-150,000 km. My mileage per year will be ~10,000 km max. 1. The main question is - diesel 2.2 or petrol 1.8? I'm interested in "reliability", here I mean - technical maintenance, which one i'm going to fix more...

Hi all, yesterday I installed a petrol float emulator on my Honda Civic 1.8, 2006. The reason for this was that the information on the dashboard about the petrol level in the tank is not correct, and while the car is running on gas it shows a decrease in the level of petrol. This is because, as...

Hi. I've followed the forum for a long time and this is my first proper post. I've been saving for an 8th gen Civic ever since I started driving about a year and a half ago. Over here in Ireland 8th gen Civics haven't been very popular and its pretty hard to find a good used one with the right...

Hi all, I am running a2007 FK2 1.8 petroland the fuel economy is awful. Although the display shows 35 to 40 MPG, the reality at the pump is around 25 to 28 MPG. :facepalm: Driving-wise I take it very smoothly and do the school run. So, any ideas on what I can do? Can these cars be...

Hello all! Well, I've tried researching this one, but have not really found much more than a single mention of it elsewhere. My wife has a 2011 TI edition. She has been experiencing serious problems refuelling. Essentially, the pump clicks off as if the tank is full after only a few seconds...

Probably clutching at straws here; but is there any way to calibrate the fuel gauge? I don't know whether this is the same with everybody but whenever I fill up with fuel, my fuel gauge shows full for probably 70 (only get 350 miles a tank) miles before moving off full, and then as soon as it...

Hi guys, I own a 53 reg (2004) Honda civic 1.7 CDTi. Today I accidentally put in 5.11 liters of unleaded petrol (Shell V-Power if it makes any difference). I already had in about 2-3 liter of diesel in the car already (maybe a little more possible 4-4.5 liters). I was told by the gas station...

hi, i was just wondering if doing a gas conversion would be worth it since the fuel prices are going really high. i have heard it cost £0.80/litre for gas and now £1.50/ litre for petrol. also, i have heard it costs around £1200 for 4 cylinder gas conversion. has anyone had any bad...

Hello everyone. I know that there is lot of questions about choosing between diesel and petrol but my question is different though. I am about to buy a used Civic 2006/2007 (I hope so), and a bit concerned. My options are for eq. either 2.2 diesel with 120000-130000 miles on the clock...

How accurate is the MPG reading on a Honda Civic. I drive a 1.8 ex and following a recent trip to Bruges the computer was showing an average of 44MPG. The milometer reading was 650 miles when I returned home and I used 2 tanks of fuel, approx 44 litres per tank. The issue I have is when I...
