CVT Hesitation at Pull-Off

medium
In progress

Book a workshop soon. You do not need to stop driving today.

If ignored: Left alone, the delay grows as the valve body accumulates wear and the CVT-II fluid degrades further.

Symptoms

  • Delay when pressing the accelerator from standstill
  • RPM flares before the car begins to move

Cause

The City CVT can develop delayed engagement as the valve body accumulates wear and the CVT-II fluid degrades.

Solution

Replace CVT fluid with genuine Honda CVT-II fluid. If the delay persists, have the valve body inspected by a specialist.

CVT Hesitation at Pull-Off is a known consideration for the Honda City. Early diagnosis keeps repair costs low.
