Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: What roads to drive on and gears to use for the best MPG/fuel saving?
« Last post by embee on May 01, 2024, 09:16:38 AM »In basic petrol engines the best fuel consumption is typically achieved if you keep the revs between roughly 1750 and 2250rpm and don't use big throttle openings.
Fuel economy and fuel efficiency aren't quite the same thing, don't confuse the two. Efficiency means getting the most energy out of the fuel you burn, but you might be demanding more energy than you necessarily need to so end up using more fuel overall.
Modern engines are a little more complicated with variable systems, but broadly the same guide applies.
Look up "BSFC map" on Google and you'll see what is often called an "onion map" ( like rings in a cut onion), which shows how much fuel is used to release a given amount of energy to the output at different engine speeds and loads. Try to use the engine near the "eye" of the onion, not too fast and not too much throttle.
Vehicle speed and acceleration are the principal factors. Try to keep moderate speed and don't accelerate rapidly.

The car is therefore unusable on what may be a day I need it most
Russian roulette
Honda should be supplying this part to dealers to be changed during routine servicing at the very least
As it is there is likely to be regular instances of MK4 on trailers being delivered back to dealers because they can't be driven which won't help sales
Which is currently my way of thinking. After a faulty wing mirror, screen wash nozzle, delaminating windscreen and now roof blemishes, I am a little worried what is further down the line. I have the 5 year service/warranty plan, and just having reached 19k I still have 4 services/3 and a bit years left of a reasonable assurance that if/when it goes wrong my dealer is reputable enough to help me out. After the 5 years is up, then I will see about maybe switching back to Renault.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Sat Nav Update?
« Last post by Kremmen on May 01, 2024, 05:38:21 AM »As per a previous post, the old TrafficMaster RDS-TMC is no more as of April 2023.
TrafficMaster turned it off, nothing to do with Garmin or any car manufacturers.
This puts the old Garmin built-in units into chocolate teapot territory IMO
Garmin standalone PND's were seamlessly switched from TrafficMaster to Inrix which is way better anyway
Honda no longer use Garmin mapping on newer models, they now use 'Here' so as a result are Garmin not particularly concerned about fully supporting Honda ?

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Honda jazz 2009 jerking
« Last post by 123Drive! on May 01, 2024, 12:51:01 AM »Can you explain when it is jerking? My 2009 i-shift is jerking when gear change but if you lift off the gas before gear change then it seems smoother. Also using Shell V-power seems to make the car less jerky. Other then that, change both actuators may be the only way to solve this problem.

Some people are perfectly happy with a car like that. It’s like he’s having a go at people with less money or less motoring a,bitiom than him. I did not like him or his approach.

Even Dacia are now doing it as well. Also on cars for existing owners. Even more incentive for me to look at the new Duster hybrid that’s coming out later this year that’s getting Excellent reviews.

Nah that's only the metal bracket part, but I need the rubber mount.
