5 Common Problems With The Civic Type R From A 2 Year Owner

[@crocboc2992]

Just bought a 2017 type r with 18k miles. First manual car and I am absolutely loving it.

I just bought a 2017 type R with 10k kms on the clock, absolutely loving it and still drives like a brand new car with no problems at all, hope it stays that way! 🤞🤞🤞😅

[@jefrilopez7890]

How much did you get it for (asking for myself)

[@georgediaz8118]

21 civic owner here as per the water getting under engine cover , water would get into coil then spark plug , and would rust the spark plug shaft (idk what's called its what the spark plug goes down into )but it will cause misfires , problem was solved with coil replacement and spark plug . also care-full when washing check engine after water will most likely get in there .also if you daily drive get after market rims and tires, the ride will change like night and day ! love this car hope everyones enjoying it !

[@houstoncruiser]

new owner and this was great info. especially for the info on water damage to the spark plugs. Just gathering all the information I can before jumping into mods. You are right this car definitely gets a lot of attention, looks and the occasional person trying to get you to race.

[@catalinobaez5617]

I had the a/c condenser leak also. Took the dealer a while to admit it was faulty out of factory. Finally fixed the issue. Covered by warranty of course.

I don't know much about cars and I'm actually getting close to buying my first one. I looked up the real life version of the my favorite car in GTA which ended up being the Lancer Evo, but since they're not available anymore and no one wants to sell theirs I had to look at alternatives. From there I ended learning about the Type R and I'm honestly really looking forward to it. Thank for the video!

[@xSyrious]

Haha thanks I try to mainly focus on the cars and out a touch of my personal life in it! :)

[@ForRJ]

I work at a Honda dealership, the Civic Type do have a few issues, I have a coworker that owned Type R, which he traded it for a TrackHawck had a issue with the rear spoiler that was covered under the warranty, he had a Hondata tune, but for some reason Honda ask the master tech to get access to the Ecu before they approved the warranty, they did approved it, however I don’t know what they found as the car was flashed, hopefully the new owner doesn’t need a powertrain warranty claim, also we did have 2 Type Rs with transmission problems, on both Honda were giving us a hard time, wanted the tech to find if the customer was at fault, and again they got in to the ECU before approval.

[@MrScoobieman]

What kind of transmission issue? I just picked up a 2024 Acura integra type s and when I shift quickly to second it grinds. I’ve been driving manuals all my life and have never had this issue before

Nice video man :) I recently bought a Type R, and I didn't know that the 4th gear lockout was a common problem. It happens for me especially when downshifting from 5th. I thought it was just me shifting incorrectly, but it's good to hear that other people have had this issue haha.

[@nathanjollay2985]

This has happened to me too

[@timothybracken1728]

this 10th gen civics are known to have the ac issues. we leased a 17 civic and it had the same issue. blows out hot air and leaks

[@silentnoise6404]

That AC condenser problem is a civic issue all around. Its a recall defect which is covered by the 2016 and later versions of these cars. Wether its a lx or type r, its a well known issue and its covered by the dealership.

[@PURE1945]

I’m also a 2 year owner of a white CTR and agree with most of the problems. Just never had issue with AC yet..... I did have a few grind issue with the transmission, but that was fixed with amsoil synchromesh fluid or I hear of people removing the clutch master cylinder delay valve.... other then that gonna have to look at the spark plugs next summer.

[@xSyrious]

wont hurt to check haha!

[@PURE1945]

Syrious Media any plans on a rear engine mount?

[@davemorris6747]

Koomoo Ly I’m an 18 month owner and the 2nd gear grind Is the gearbox. When cold I always double clutch and it goes in silky smooth. If I don’t it will grind. If the clutch was dragging then double clutching won’t make any difference. I was thinking of putting the amsoil in but as the gearbox is ok when hot and seems to be getting better with mileage I’m going to hold out for a bit longer.

[@PURE1945]

Dave Morris I definitely recommend it, sometimes it is a pain to remove the air box to get to the fill bolt for the fluid.

[@taskmaster3771]

Wish it had a sunroof and lane assist camera. 40k is quite a price tag to just outright take away those options when the si has them. I know it's not type R legacy to have a sunroof but nor is it legacy to come with 20in tires and comfort driving mode 🤔

[@Alex-gv3gq]

I got mine 2018 civic type r with 40k miles with no issues on it. It depends on how you drive and treat your car!!!!

No issues until a week ago. My 2018 made a weird noise- loud flapping and howl when started. Turned off then back on- noise gone. Emission system and rev match service lights on. Drove it- lights went off/ reset. No further noise or lights. No mods. Inlet hose? MAF plug? My guess is something got in there and was blown out after start up and drive. Transmission has been fine. A/C okay too. 42,000 miles. Honda wants $165 just to look at it. Under extended full warranty. Paint, like the 30 series tires, is sprayed on. But the AB color is still gorgeous. . Doesn't fade- but chips easily. Overall still thrilled.

[@EmetYAHU]

Rock chips 4 sure. Get PPF wrap the day you drive it off the lot, save yourself $$$ and headaches, trust me. It chips SUPER EASY, mine is 2019 Championship White...

[@dl9775]

The water leaking into the motor is legit. Had it happening to my fk8. Never sprayed into the scoop or under the hood. It’s a design flaw. An accord 2.0 engine cover would fix it. Saw the other 2019 ctr that was in the showroom when I got mine a few weeks ago. It had paint flaking off the door handles and it was faded. Mine never had paint issues tho and it was always outside.

[@chanhuor]

There's some people who have an oil leak on the valve cover gasket on the driverside towards the firewall. The water leak on the spark plugs shouldn't be like that unless the spark plug seal is compromised. It takes a lot for something like that to happen. Trust me I have a spoon sports VC and I have power wash the car and have seen no water leak issues.

[@xSyrious]

Nice thanks for the info! :D

[@opadilla123]

The hype comes from the history of the car , its a car that’s capable of beating cars at the track that are way more expensive .

Not the first time honda transmissions grind. Know people with 8th gen Si that grind 3rd and i had the same issue with my 07 accord J series. 3rd gear grind. Switched to Syncromax. 200k on stock trans.

[@df9834]

Good honest review mate. I’ve had Honda’s for years. And although they are great cars, they do also suffer common issues that other brands Do that aren’t supposed to as good. I Now have a 2013 Focus st, And finding it to be a good car. Maybe not quite Honda quality, But it’s still a good performing car that I’ve had no issues with in 2 years of ownership 👍

[@suhhdudee5153]

Facts

[@iStayKrafty]

I think this car is for the people who wanted an ITR back in the day and couldnt get one. It's just a track version of an already made economy car. The ITR of yesteryear wasnt some crazy quality of life difference over a standard integra, but people who were a true enthusiast knew what made the ITR special over a normal teg or even a gsr. This R is no different, its for the enthusiast.

[@xSyrious]

I agree :)

I drive an 2019 FK7 with Exhaust, CAI, and a Hondata flash. I daily drive it about 60 miles a day. I don't stress about the dings and chips from Highway and city driving. That's what it was meant for. I will be doing a car wrap in about a month anyway lol. The only issue I get is the low tire pressure warning however tires are fine.

[@xSyrious]

It really is not gonna lie. A lot of the issues are very rare anyway

[@supafance92]

3:06 The problem comes from people removing their engine cover. It’s solid plastic there is no pathway for the water to get to the spark plugs with the engine cover in the way.

[@VulcanXIV]

They say the A/C issue with the 10th gens is a faulty issue in its design. After some time (or not using it) the tubes crack from the drying of the coolant (or something like that) and it begins to leak. I'm paraphrasing at this point but basically people say you gotta run the A/C at least once a week or more to prevent that

[@xSyrious]

True! Im surprised they haven't made a oem parts change or more r&d for it haha

[@tylern922]

I get locked out of 4th sometimes when downshifting from 5th. When I first bought the car it was an issue cause I wouldn’t know until I let the clutch out and it lurched horrifically. But I’ve gotten use to it and know when it’s not fully in gear. Idk if it’s driver error. But I’ve driven more manual cars than autos my whole life and all have been Honda’s. Seems to happen less now that the car has around 5k miles. No second gear grinds but I haven’t tried banging 2nd lol

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

I rarely if ever shred through 1st gear.

[@shaneoex]

It's a uk built car so we can't expect 100% japanese built and assembled quality

[@joesautospa5736]

Hey, so I have found honda paint in general is super thin is not soft like subaru just thin and rock chips will take it to bare metal. Then the issue you had with your clear coat is called sand pebbles on the clear coat where the very top layer of the clear coat have those marks and it comes like that from the factory, you can take it to the dealership get “warranty” been a detailer I would not recommend this. Thanks for the shout out bro I really enjoy your content.

[@rjung_ch]

My AC also got replaced yesterday on warranty. You need to remove a lot from the front

[@stuartingram7327]

Damn, paint problems been around since my 8th gen fa5 was made. Look into the master cylinder and slave cylinder, I know I've replaced them in my 8th gen with em1 cmc and csc, not that you could use them on a 2020 type r, but changing to a different unit stopped the lock out in my car

[@RelaxAndSmokeMeth]

What happened with the 8th gen civics paint should be a crime.

[@upbeforethaopps]

I own a 21 ctr and only issue Ive had that you spoke about is the 2-3rd gear grind

[@dontgetjabaited3935]

to fix the water problem im assuming you can get a piece of rubber or plastic piece that has a slight lip on it from home depot or lows, open up the hood either put clips/rivets in the plastic of bottom of the hood scoop that way its still functional but when it sits the water will be forced to sit in the scoop itself until driven then naturally it will go threw and in the engine bay and evaporate. if you end up riveting or clipping it i would run a small amount of black rtv along the seem to make sure its water tight but this should fix the issue since once the car is running and engine is warm the water should evap. im assuming this issue only consists when it rains and the car sits with the water for quite some time with it seeping into the plugs. we have had a bunch of rain the past couple weeks and i never ran into this issue or even had the car hesitate to start. i also try to part so im slightly at and angle with the nose of the car tilting down so the water falls off the hood and not back into the engine. Try the method out hope this helps.

Tje construction of the front bumper is a bit weak. Dont get me wrong i absolutely love this car and cant say enough good about it. The only other issue ive had is with the turbo. At the time of writing this its at the dealer and they are strugglimg to figure out whats wrong. They have alresdy replaced the turbo (i dont believe that was necessary) and its still not running right. The turbo is slow to kock in and at times wont kick innat all. It also is jerky at times when it does kick in. I believe its the fuel pump but the dealer isnt convinced and only seems to follow codes. They dont seem to know how to diagnose other than codes. This why they changed the turbo due to some code it kicked out. Hopefully ot will be fixed soon and illnbe back to loving my time in the fk8!

All Honda paint sucks. I had a 2017 Accord sport special in red. In 2 years it looked like I drove it in a sand blaster. Had a white hue all over the front end

[@xSyrious]

Knock on the wood metal concrete. I don’t have any of these problems after 2 and half years with 21k miles. I don’t have a garage so I park outside 24/7 and I live in NY. Second gear grind has happened less than 5 times and I knew I fucked up because I tried to shift so fast into second and the clutch wasn’t fully depressed. (Move ur seat closer to the pedals guys. Went to a type r car meet two ppl drove our cars to position for a photoshoot and they asked me why the fuck is seat so close to the wheel and they slide the seat back about 5-8 inches, I was like ???? Can you guys even reach the pedals wtf they were about 2-3 inches shorter than me. I’m 5’9 and they are like 5’6-7. No wonder a lot of ppl are having gear grind issues you can’t drive a manual car like an automatic). I have less than 5 rock ships?? I don’t drive behind big trucks or whatsoever and I ceramic coated my car myself for paint protection since I don’t have a garage lol. Don’t know about the interior quality but I’m very happy with it, it’s simple and the seats are cool. The Alcantara on the hand rest did fade a little bit, well isn’t that normal??? I mean even leather does that over time no???? Correct me if I’m wrong never owned a car with leather interior.

[@xSyrious]

yes, changing driver position can make great improvement on someones driving!

I drive my husbands 2013 6spd accord and never have had gear grind 1st into 2nd.. so I don't know if it's the newer ones or just user error or some bad apples in the bunch, because that does happen. Yes leather wears out, but only if you don't take care of it. I only drive cars with leather or leatherette. I had leather done in my 2018 civic sport hatch. To me just easier to take care of..Yeah I drive much closer to the steering wheel when I drive a manual.
