Users have complained that it takes around 10-15 minutes for the engine to warm up – and even more in colder climes. The cause is most likely the general design of the engine.
Afaulty VVT solenoid can cause several problems. The most common include: Illuminated Check Engine Light. Your car’s primary computer, which is often referred to as the powertrain control module (PCM), monitors the operation of the VVT solenoid(s). If the PCM detects a problem, it will turn on the check engine light.
However the success of their diesel engines, particularly their relatively new 1.6-litre i-DTEC unit available in both the Civic and CR-V, has led many to forget that the company is famous for its high-revving and largely unbreakable VTEC units. Two are offered in the Civic range – a 1.4-litre unit with 99hp, and this, the 1.8 with 140hp. Theupdated 1.4 i-VTEC produces 99bhp, while stop-start technology and Hondas Econ mode which regulates the air-con and engine responses help cut emissions from 135g/km to 129g/km, and boost The1.5-liter turbo engine for the Honda Civic Si copies the European 1.5T VTEC Turbo engine specs. It produces 205 hp at 5,700 rpm and 192 lb-ft (260 Nm) at 2,100 rpm. The gain in power was achieved using more performance intake camshaft and higher boost pressure - 20.3 psi.

The“Earth Dreams” K24W from the Honda Accord Hybrid was listed on Ward ’s 10 Best Engines for 2017. With an output of 153 hp/L, the VTEC engine in the Civic Type R is the most powerful street-legal Honda ever to reach America. As is often the case, Honda engine reliability remains superb for the K series engine.Still if this is the precedent set, then we very much look forward to the next one. 1.4 engine is a bit weak. Material quality isn’t great. Diesel option more efficient.
The2011 Honda Civic offers three unique engine options: the standard i-VTEC 1.8-liter, a performance-inspired 2.0 on SI models, and a 1.3 I4 paired to a 20-horsepower electric motor on Civic Hybrids. No matter your choice, only a handful of complaints and a single recall have ever been issued on any Civic engine from this year.
