New member, Jazz Dynamic 2018

[Gibo]

Hi all

New to the forum, month ago bought Dynamic, 2018, 96KW, red, 45000km.

Bought it used from Wiena/Austria, lot of surface rust on undercarriage but other than that car seems perfect.

Rust is now done, I used epoxy rust converter after brushing and cleaning as first coat followed by epoxy high build primer with zink as protection coat.
Stil some far and  unreachable areas left uncovered... uh.

Car is real toy to drive specially after being used to cruise with my Zafira b for last 500.000km.

Looking at bushings or short shifter from Hybrid racing as some are raving about shifter feel after swap.

Thats it for beginning.

Changing your cabin filter find it behind the passenger glove box. A 3 minute task and what an improvement. I have used blue print filters as well as Bosch.

will do

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations of your new Jazz! The Dynamic with 130 hp is really a peppy car! Is yours manual or CVT?

Its 6 speed manual, I like it, just find hard to manage to elegantly pull off in first gear as clutch is slow and it revs up immediately as you touch gas pedal.

Similar to mine then - except the colour. https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=12071.0

I see what you mean with getting to move from standstill. Accelerator pedal has a delay in response and it is not possible to rise rpm just slightly, because the lowest pedal controlled rpm is around 1200. But eventually you'll learn to depress the clutch in timely coordination with the accelerator pedal.

Yep, i found out that, when changing gears, I have to release accelerator pedal first(not simultaneously as on normal cars) and than clutch as there is a rev slowing lag probably programed in ECU for some reason

I've been planning to contact local tuner to get rid of that rev hanging feature. That has been common in some Japanese cars already in 90's. Maybe it''s one measure in emission control. Annyoing it is anyways.

Let me know ,  would like to know the reason...

Found a thread here about it and solutions...

Thank you for the link. It seems that st least with turbo there might be some undesirables drawbacks if the lag is removed.

I did some reading and it seems with K-tuner to be possible to remove the lag and adjust it back in separate settings per gear with Throttle Padding.
