Honda Civic Diesel Tourer: First Home Service & Rear Brake Replacement
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2020
- My 2015 Honda Civic 1.6 i-DTEC diesel tourer was due an oil change, so I gave it a short service with oil and filter change, air filter and new rear brake discs and pads. I've done some of the other items since buying it: pollen filter, new tyres, front brakes, coolant flush and it has had recent brake fluid and A/C service. The Tourer continues to impress with effortless comfort over long distances and 60+ mpg guaranteed.

Thanks for an informative video (and the other civic tourer video). Useful to have a non-journalist real-world person view. Good to hear you are a merc/audi man and don’t find it too different. Cheers
Great video as always John 👍
Thanks Chris 😀👍🏻
Absolutely superb car driven mine 90k so far I'd happily never replace it.
Yes great car - have stuck another 4k on it in the last eight weeks. Is having a bit more attention over xmas with new tyres and brake fluid
There are locating buttons on the back of the inner pad that should fit into the voids in the piston.
Changing rear discs, I used long nosed pliers ok, must push in hard at the same time as screwing it back into the caliper. I don't expect to do this again so tool investment would add to my one time tool box.
For £15 I’d rather buy the stuff and do it right. I’ll have it for at least two sets of rear brakes.
Great vids on this car, thanks. I’m moving back to the uk from Aus soon and looking at one of these, they look ideal. You mentioned in a video about updating the head unit to have Apple car play, any joy on this? I can’t find any info online about it. It’s the one thing I think I’ll miss! Thanks again
Good luck with the move. Surprising how many people who seem to be moving back from the antipodes at the minute: just had an older couple come back to our street after 20 yrs in NZ. I haven’t done anything on the stereo change yet but it is my winter project. You’ll see in my other vids that I’ve fitted Kenwood units to my CRV so just waiting for a deal on an 8020 before Christmas and will get that in there. I’ll video it.
When you change the head unit, does the steering controls still work?
I recently found out, if you lift the rear seats up and remove the front wheel of a bike, it fits in sideways across the rear seat space!!
Yeah the guy I bought mine off was a keen cyclist and used to carry his road bikes like that all the time 👍🏻
Quick question, does your civic have a CD player? On the models without a sat nav screen I can see where the CD slot is but on these models I wasn't sure. Thanks in advance!
No CD on these units 👍🏻
@@johndglynn yes there is mine is the same if you press the bottom right button on the screen the actual screen slides down and there is a cd slot behind there
@@wagonman63 Yep , very trick
Dear john, YOU didnt show how you got the caliper bolts off since they have a rubber boot on the outside. What size socket to use? seems like 11mm too small, 12mm too big. what? please help?
7mm allen key
Hello jhon how are you?I am hoping to get one on 18 reg is it same as yours Honda civic 1.6 i-dtec estate can you please tell me what was major issue you had with car.
when does the timing chain needs changing. Thank you so much. For giving all the information given I've watching all the videos many many thanks 😊.
Hi Maz, no issues. Just had an engine light come on but think it is a glowplug circuit issue. Not a huge panic. The car is just coming up to 120k and has been perfect. Timing chain change I don't know, maybe 180k? I changed my CR-V chain at 170k.
@@johndglynn thank you so much for your help
On your cr-v how did it cost to get it changed. Who do you recommend to get changed by.
did you end up doing the fuel filter change, a few people say they can be a pig to bleed afterwards
Your comment is well timed. I didn’t fancy doing it on the floor so I took it to my MOT guy last week for us to do it on his ramp. It looks an absolute pig to get to and loaded with potential issues if something cracks, so I’m going to take it to Honda to be done this month sometime. Might get them to change the brake fluid also while they’re in there.
@@johndglynn thanks John I read that on some forums too, if it gets an air lock or something. I’ve actually got one the same colour as yours, I’m very happy with it apart from the drivers seat giving me a bad back apparently very common with them. Good luck with it and thanks for your video.
@@Gman-nb9ge did mine no issues
@@treehouse7861 just changed it and it started no air locks ? I live in Denmark and dealer would be a small fortune to change it
@@Gman-nb9ge yep, no prime , no pump or anything. trickiest bit was spinning the cap off the housing without the proper tool until i realised i could use piece of wood and hammer it onto the cap to rotate it off (cap is metal). i did it from the top (took out ecu airbox etc as its easier than going underneath)
which oil do you prefer for this engine ?
I am using Mobil1 0w30 at the mo and seems fine. Previously used Smith and Allan 0w30 and was also fine. Have moved to only using Shell diesel and that has given the car a touch more zip.
Do they have timing belt or chain?
Chain on these ones
The Varta battery in mine failed at 50k.
Yes mine was changed at a similar mileage. I’m going to order another before the 100k mark and just have it ready to go: winter is a battery killer ❄️
At which mileage glow plugs should be changed?
No idea. When they stop working I suppose 👍🏻
I see Honda have now dropped the diesel option altogether to concentrate on hybrid technology. The main thing that puts me off more recent diesels is the DPF and the cost of a replacement. Presumably, you have decided to sell the car before it becomes a potential issue.
No, I’ll run it to at least 150k, which is 70k miles away. If it needs a DPF replacement then I’ll do it, but there are plenty of diesel particulate filters on the forums still going strong at this mileage.
@@johndglynn That's good to hear. I had an Octavia Diesel Estate. Great car but I just do not like what I hear about the new diesels. Just too complicated now. The styling on this Civic is a love hate thing as you point out but most of us look past that and focus on the top notch engineering. Thanks for the videos and your feedback, John. Really helpful.
@@johndglynn is the dpf easy to access? I swear I remember people saying on the forums that they is access from the top but looking at pictures i don't see any way
If someone has a problems with DPF, it means that: A) Should not buy diesel car in the first place, because is using it on short distance only; or B) Fuelling up bad quality diesel. Personally, Honda dropping the diesel in new cars, put me off from buying new Honda. 1.6 i dtec is very good and eco engine.
@@marcindawid8485 And using DPF cleaner to the fuel once a time. Not bad at all
