Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: No Rusty Bolts Etc - Impressed!
« Last post by Nicksey on Today at 07:00:26 AM »After 28000 miles, my 22 plate still looks pretty fresh under the bonnet. I do occasionally give it a 'dust' wipe after a bodywork clean and polish, but this is because I also check the fluid levels and make sure everything is tight. The only area that does gather detritus (generally leaves) is the plastic recess area below the windscreen and wipers. This can be fiddly at times, so the Hoover nozzle comes out to help.

In terms of whether the part I purchased is actually in the car, I had my own fears about this and asked for the old part back (which I now have in my garage).
Best wishes.
I don't want to be entirely negative but the used part you got back might be from any honda model they serviced at their site
probably worth peeping through the opening next to hand brake if the fuel tank cover screws show at least any signs of tampering with...
Good point, I'll try and do this - fingers crossed!

It looks like the recall kit they get is just a pump motor with a filter attached to it, the filter is just a small teabag-like looking piece of mesh attached to the bottom of the pump, also some new washers and wire harness.
they remove your old plastic fuel pump assembly from the fuel tank and need to disassemble it to remove the old pump from it. they then insert new pump with filter into the plastic assembly, change some washers and seals, route the new harness and insert the whole lot back into the tank.
you gave them the whole pump assembly, hence made their work much easier, all they had to do was remove your old plastic pump assembly and insert the new one, that's it, no faffing around with disassembling the old assembly.
there should not be any extra charge for it as it actually saved them time and parts!
there are however correct, the plastic housing/assembly/bracket is not replaced as part of the recall but this doesn't need to be replaced unless is cracked or broken.
the plastic housing/bracket is not a filter, it's just a housing for the pump, fuel level float and some pipes and wires.
bearing in mind they had the audacity to charge you extra for saving them time and money, I would actually double check that the part you bought from cox motors actually sits in your fuel tank...
Hi Krs
Many thanks for the response, which was really helpful - your interpretation of the recall was also my understanding of the situation - I didn't expect the outer plastic housing/assembly/bracket to be included, but thought I'd ask the dealer just to be sure, as I didn't want to go through the whole process a year later at the annual service when it was due. The bit that left me feeling short-changed was when it appeared that some others were getting this part supplied free as part of the recall.
You make an excellent observation about whether or not I should have been charged for the labour and I specifically raised this with them twice beforehand (I think it is ridiculous that I have been charged for something that was making it easier for them), but they point-blank refused to do it without me agreeing to pay it (which I think is wholly unacceptable for the reasons you outline - but I paid it because this was still cheaper than them doing it separately a year later).
In terms of whether the part I purchased is actually in the car, I had my own fears about this and asked for the old part back (which I now have in my garage).
Best wishes.

« Last post by 2robbie2 on March 26, 2025, 05:49:48 PM »Dear all
I was hoping you could help me with a simply query (which may also help everyone else with the recall), particularly 'Basil', 'Pebbles', 'Beanbag' and 'Krs' who have responded on this topic.
You will see at the start of this thread that I had my recall done back in January. At he time, I asked the dealer (Johnsons Honda Milton Keynes) if this work included the fuel filter (the outer assembly) and they said no and that only the fuel pump was subject to the recall. They did however say that if I wanted to replace the fuel filter (the outer assembly) at the same time, they would be happy to do this at an additional cost. I chose to do this to avoid the need to reopen the central console a year later when the filter needing replacing as part of the service schedule (I ended up purchasing a fuel filter for £74.90 from Cox Motor Parts online and the dealer fitted this at a cost of £28.80).
Subsequent to the above, I have been following this thread closely online and it would appear as if some members have also had the fuel filter (the outer assembly) replaced at zero cost as part of the recall and not just the fuel pump.
I have just telephoned Johnsons Honda MK about this inconsistency and the Service Advisor insisted that the recall only relates to the fuel pump and that if other dealerships have been replacing the fuel filter as part of this, that is down to them & would be at their own cost and is not covered by the recall.
I would like to write to Honda UK about this inconsistent approach among dealerships, but to do so, I need details (just the name and location) of any dealerships who have replaced the fuel filter as part of the fuel pump recall at no extra cost.
If I get a sufficient response, I’ll then write to Honda UK and let everyone know the outcome.
Many thanks in advance.

« Last post by Tombola on March 26, 2025, 12:08:33 PM »I spray the "lump" with GT85 or WD40 and give it a wipe over, the engine bay in the Jazz seems well sealed and insulated from road debris and water spray, much better than some cars I have owned, I always use the "let it drop" method for closing the bonnet and watch the indicators flash to ensure it's properly closed

« Last post by Lord Voltermore on March 26, 2025, 11:56:28 AM »Another opportunity to inform new mk 4 owners something that was raised some time ago.
On a side note I also love the bonnet release mechanism under the bonnet; it’s quite a complex affair and it’s also quite beefy!
On some cars the bonnet will not always fully latch closed if you just press down on it. Its quite obvious it hasnt fully closed ,although it will still be retained by the safety catch .
It latches properly if you just let the bonnet slam shut by dropping it from a bit of a height. (maybe 30 cm) If you find dropping unacceptable I think the latch can be adjusted ,but getting it exactly right is fiddly. I never bothered.
