Good workshop for troubleshooting Honda EK 1.5 Engines

[Sturtles]

Hi guys, my colleague has got an EK 1.5 ESI(?), which has got overheating issues.

 

Does anyone know any workshop very familiar with this model of the civic?

 

He has tried radiator flush, top overhaul etc, but does not solve the issue permanantly.

 

Do hope to get some good workshop contacts.

 

Thanks!

Hi bro, do they specialise in honda engines?

 

My colleague visited a few mechanics, for the radiator flush, top overhaul etc, but non seem to be able to solve the prob permanently, and its a money pit

Not sure what else your colleague has done, but if the "problem" part is not solved, replacing or repairing other parts will not fix the problem.

 

Personally, i'd get N2CS take a look at it. They are very experienced with Hondas.....old Hondas especially.

[Astrochucky]

Yeah, both of them specialise in Honda.

Kah Motor are authorised dealer for Honda Car in Singapore whether they are consider as specialist is depending on what sort of mechanical work U are looking for. If you belong to the type of maintain stock condition and with money to burn then go for them, even if you do visit them (KAH) I doubt they can do anything about the car as its not a recent model Honda car. But if U prefer different opinion and lower in maintenance then go for the alternate. Do take note your colleague is driving a very old car certain parts may no longer be available in the market.

Driving 92' ESi before... overheat during normal city driving or highspeed long duration? last time my car had a twin-fin radiator, no issue at all... till one day freak incident happened (someone stole my radiator in the car park!)... changed to a stock single fin radiator, that's where the problem comes...

normal city driving ok, stuck at JB causeway > 1 hr temp start to rise to 3/4... went Ipoh NSE 140km/h half hr start to hit high temp (red), need cool down abt 15 mins...

 

morale of the story.... find one twin-fin radiator!

Overheating problems needs basic troubleshooting only.

What is basic troubleshooting ??

[Yeobh]

That's a great answer which many mechs will dish out to car owners who know next-to-nothing That's why in Spore, there is no need to learn the fine point of trouble shooting using specialty tools nether is there a need to use specification manuals. In a nutshell everyone can become a mechanics or open a shop without any certificate or licences.

In many advance countries, mechs that repair/service brakes or do wheel alignment works need certifications so that no one is kill due to lack of knowledge.

Understanding the operating charactistic of the cooling system.

Knows how to extract useful information from the owner.

 

Start from basic and do not jump into conclusions unless you can see the fault directly.
