Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Confused about AC Compressor replacements 2006 Fit GD1 (JDM)
« Last post by LightningCobra on June 08, 2026, 05:17:38 PM »The car is not immaculate, but has only 101,000 km on it so it has lots of life yet.
I will see if an ac specialist can give me more details.

Even if you were able to find the part yourself at a good price it may be quite a big job to fit it and experience needed to ensure all pipe connections etc are leak free , and then getting the system regassed . Sometimes a slightly different model of compressor will fit but might need some slight modifications to the pipework, different fittings etc that an air con specialist would probably already have in stock.
If you are having the job done by a specialist they may have better and cheaper sources for obtaining the correct part ( or fast exchange if it doesnt fit ) and are more likely to guarantee their work if they supply the parts.
With a car this age it might be worth trying a DIY regassing kit that contains a leak sealant. (If they are available and permitted in Canada.) It might work, or might not but could save you 'throwing good money after bad'. Aircon professionals dont normally mention this option as its not guaranteed to work and loses them business. (Apologies if your car is immaculate and destined to become a historic museum piece
)

Only guessing as not had this happen to me but from what your describing I think that's what it is.

extra warranty were going up July 1st I think that was a shove to make you take it, what I can add is this, the salesman
who sold me the car was honest and genuine [was moving to a different car maker dealership in two months time]
anyway he said to me actual words , if you have to use Honda assistant all the AA will do is come out with another
battery.

« Last post by Mr Onion on June 08, 2026, 09:05:21 AM »I would agree that the Michelin CrossClimate tyres are one of the best choices for a combination of performance and extended wear.
Certainly not the cheapest, but there is a lot of info on the web which confirms they have a long tread life.
Another vote from me. Excellent grip in all weathers

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on June 08, 2026, 09:05:02 AM »Several reasons to fit wheels from another Jazz.
1) The bolt holes need to be 4x100mm spacing.
2)The centre bore hole (ie the big hole in the middle ) needs to be 56.1 mm so the wheel fits snugly and centres on the wheel hub. This also supports the weight of the car -not just the wheel bolts . Few other car makes have this size hole .(most are too large, a few are too small )
3)The ET (off set) needs to be the same or similar - put simply this is how far out the wheel rim and tyre protrudes when the wheel is bolted to the hub. This varies from car to car . (alloy wheels sometimes have a slightly different ET to a steel alternative but within Hondas tolerance)
4) Insurance companies may happier to accept genuine Honda alternatives, but regard other makes as a modification.
5) With the appropriate sized tyres there should be little or no change in car performance.
6) When wheels obviously come from a different carr MOT testers sometimes note it as an advisory . (in case the owner put on wheels with better tyres just to pass the MOT)
Another thing to watch out for. You may need to change wheel bolts . Honda use wheel bolts with domed seats. Certainly for Honda steel wheels, and I think also for genuine Honda alloys, but you would need to check. Most other brands use tapered nuts/bolts which are not interchangeable.

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on June 08, 2026, 08:35:45 AM »Does this mean the price of their extended warranty packages are going up on 1 July, or does it mean the Price of a new Jazz is going up to cover the cost of the so called 'free' 8 year warranty proposals?
reply prices are going up 1st July for warranty cover,
(Or both)
