Honda Civic 1.8 VTI-S (A) 

Hi - I guess all civics have this same problem that you've mentioned. So it is indeed normal, although we civic owners don't like any aircon vibration. asdzds

Hi. I MYSELF AM RATHER DISAPPOINTED WITH e VIBRATION WHENEVER THE CAR IDLES. Got e same generic reply from kah motors saying that it's normal . For such a premium price we'd paid for it does not justfy their reasoning . Btw, i drive e 2009 1.8 civic. asdzds

You got aircon problem with your civic? Well, I own an altis and I can smell diesel and petrol through the aircon, even when the aircon is set on recirculation mode. Tried fixing it about 5 times already in Borneo motors, and still got problem! Moral of story - sometimes really your 'luck' on getting a good car. You can even get a Beemer, but 'sway sway' you end up getting a lemon of a car, we have to live with it or change the car together. asdzds

Yours a 1.6L? Different from the header... ok that's not my point :-) I owned a 2004 civic before, its aircon compressor was more vocal than the engine, and of course accompanied by a bit of vibration. I'm not sure if the vibration you experienced is significant (like set your steering wheel dancing) or is it more of discomfort. Apparently Honda did not take care of this aspect in civic's latest installation. No matter how refined the engine is, such shortcoming is going to affect the car's quality image. And that doesn't really justify the high price KM is charging. I'm afraid they also dunno how to fix it, so paiseh and cover up by saying "it's normal". Sigh... asdzds
