I would absolutely love a video which is reverse of this(unexpectedly reliable)!
Don't ever buy a car with a wetbelt rule #1
I have a Honda Civic 1.8 2014 with the oil burning issue. Anyone looking to buy one needs to be super careful about those 2012 to early 2013 models with the thin piston rings like OP mentioned. If you are looking at one, you need to check both the VIN and the engine serial number. If the 10th character of the VIN is a 'C' (indicating a 2012 build), it is in the danger zone. Specifically, you want to avoid any R18Z4 engine with a serial number lower than R18Z4-1030320.
Diesel Mazdas is one of my guesses before I watch the video.
How can it be that I´ve only just discovered this gem of a channel. big fan. Love from Spain!
Me watching this hoping my car doesn't pop up 🫣
Yep, you sure do have to pay attention to which engine you're buying.
This is why I have a 2006 mk8 1.8 civic
I have got a Honda Civic 1.6 TD absolutely fantastic car no regrets.
Grant , ever consider doing a vid on vans ? I just scrapped an 07 Transit MK7 campervan, had it for 5 years, written off due to all the sills being rotten. After watching your vids an this experience I would never go for a ford again. Considering Toyotas or even Hyundai's panel vans for my next camper conversion
Wet belts were installed by a number of major manufacturers and proved to be a huge money spinner for Ford's repair and replacement business. One wonders if this elementary design fault was perhaps intentional?
Tbh, any video you put out will be interesting to me, but yeah - let's get the top 5 surprisingly reliable cars 👍
I got a 2012 honda civic 1.8 petrol with 118k miles. I have to confirm there is oil consumption but thankfully not too bad, it's 1 liter every 7k miles.
Sorry bud, I'm calling bullshit on the civic 2012. I had one for 11 years and it did NOT miss a beat. No oil loss or leaks. I always prioritise reliability before practicality. Which is why I now drive a 2023 mazda CX-5 skysctiv G.
The Pro Chain company has a kit to replace the wet belt for a chain in the PSA PureTech engines 😂
Honestly what idiot came up with a welt belt absolutely madness
Would love to see that video. 5 cars you think are unreliable etc.
Ok... This is a bummer. I had my heart set on a lovely MK9 Civic 2015 1.8 with 55k miles :( Edit: I spoke too soon! Thank you for reassuring me 🤣😅
I’d love a video on unexpectedly reliable cars!
My 2.0hdi aut. Sw Griffe 136hp from 2007... had it from now, 305000km on going. Always completing a journey. No oil use.
