Singapore Honda Club

Recently my 1.5year old Airwave have this problem where I can feel slight vibration of the car just before it come to a complete stop. The same vibration can also be felt when moving off, release break before accerating.

When to the workshop 4 time, but they keep saying nothing wrong as they have already done reprograming. Quite frustrated with them.

Anyone experiencing similar problem or know what is the problem or how/where to fix it ?

Thank you.

It could only mean 2 things..... your CVT or your engine mountings.. what is your ride's mileage??

My mileage is 29k. I have asked the workshop about engine mounting too. he claim no problem saying slight vibration is normal and acceptable. But I don't think so. At times its quite bad, especially when caught in traffic jam where you only step and release break. Feeling like when you take an old manual taxi...where it always vibrate....

Have u checked if your shocks at the front are not leaking?

after everything checked and okie ... perhaps look into your vehicle idling speed ....

i remembered having this situation during NS days ... driving the battalion's LightStrike ... except tat it's manual transmission

29K is pretty young for CVT to fault... But you never know... many have tried pouring in Oil Extreme Concentrate into their CVT to solve the vibration issue.. maybe you can try that out...

I've just sent my car to another workshop for 30k servicing and also to check on the vibration problem.
They changed spark plugs and ask to to use a higher grade of patrol, I am using 95 currently, ask me to use 98 instead.
Ask me to go back again if problem still exist after using 98.
Will try this out for another week or 2...

Thank you for your tips and advise.

Tried with 98 fuel and it seems to have reduced the vibration quite a bit.
Will continue with 98 again and monitor.

how is your vibration?
There is one guy also have vibration in sgairwaver forum, maybe u can advise him

Airwave seems to have problem with the O2 sensor at the extractor.
You might want to get a OBD reading to see if it can detect any error code.
Have you tried getting the workshop to clean the throttle body?

Finally got the vibration problem resolved. Thanks to www.bcfmotorsport.com.

It was a very simple solution, but somehow the workshops I go to cannot resolve the problem. Been living with the problem for > 1 year til today.

Rdgs,

mine is vibration before accelerating... its a known issue to fit/city.. probably its the same to airwave... however i didnt encounter vibration when coming to a stop...

if u starts off from the downslope...kinda of steep 1.. u wont feel it... same goes to upslope... it wont move forward... (depends on gradient) but kinda of not moving ... and there's no acceleration...if even road.. yes... most of the time... i started to think its the start up clutch, not enough 'juice' to surge forward....

KM feedback this is a normal, a typical 'operation' from startup clutch... i dont know whether there are wrong/right.... trying to smoke me thru...
