Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Hicardo on Today at 12:43:08 PM »Going back to Jazziks question about the owners who have so far been trouble free in the affected years (supposedly) of the brake simulator failure. Although I am quite reluctant to tempt fate, my car has been entirely trouble free, except a piece of trim came loose in the wheel arch, which I re-attached and all fine since. BUT like some of you, I am now always wondering if one day the brake failure bug will strike. If it happens it happens, but I do hope it happens when I'm at home, not away travelling somewhere!

« Last post by pauly58 on Today at 12:19:32 PM »They didn't say where the leak was, I'm hoping it won't be damage from a stone & we have to pay. I presume the part will be coming from the UK, so it will probably arrive just in time for winter.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Spare wheel foam insert
« Last post by jazzyb88 on Today at 10:40:07 AM »I had a problem finding one , in the end managed to get a used one cheap from a Honda dealer.
They were available new but around £150

Even though £150 is steep, the dealers I rang around me are all quoting £350 for a a full kit including the tyre. Perhaps the foam is £150 of that but they couldn't split the cost for some reason.
I think I will just have to fashion something myself or keep a watch on ebay as someone will eventually sell one.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Rust
« Last post by PaultheManc on Today at 10:21:49 AM »Has this rusting not been picked up by your Dealer when being serviced. Corrosion warranty requires annual inspection.
About 12 years ago I ended up in court with Ford with rusting issues on a Focus. Ford didn't turn up, paid up in a week.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Opinions on CVT noise
« Last post by PotentialBuyer on May 08, 2024, 11:46:01 PM »Mine made this noise, after changing the oil the noise went away a week or so later.
Thanks for that. Just for clarity, the transmission fluid was changed rather than engine oil?
If so, was that a regular change of fluid, or a full flush of the transmission?
The local mechanic I use is very meticulous, just checked the invoice, was a full drain and refill of the transmission fluid. Not sure if he did a flush.
2012 reg, was a pre-reg car, was always Honda serviced till I got it, I bought it in 2020 with 24k miles.
Hope this helps.
Mine has been annually serviced by Honda including fluid changes (with a few small bits and bobs elsewhere too), and to be fair, it has over 91k miles now. I presumed that'd be about mid-life, but judging by chrisv's comments, it might require a premature transmission transplant!
I do find it interesting though that so far, for seemingly similar sets of symptoms, yours was a relatively cheap and easy fix, and chrisv's sounded like a proper ordeal.
Anyone else have any insight or experiences of this nature?

« Last post by PotentialBuyer on May 08, 2024, 11:33:11 PM »Hi,
It sounds like a bearing on the way out( sorry) it may continue ok for years or fail, there's no way of telling. Honda were totally unhelpful concerning repair, no information about parts, no reconditioned parts available, new gearbox only, available around £15,000 plus fitting, you can get a new car for not much more. I took mine to an auto gearbox specialist near Cannock who obtained a gearbox in good condition from a breaker then rebuilt my box with donor parts. They give you a free loan car while they fix yours. My bill was over £2,000 but was better than scrapping the car. The alternative is " we buy any car". If you want to contact the repairer send me a message and I'll look up his name and address for you,
Chris
Well that sounds grim!
If that's the case then mine has already been in that state for years, probably already on borrowed time.
I'd say the sound could well be an iffy bearing as you suggest. Hmmm.
Thanks for the offer, but I'm in the north of Scotland, so not massively convenient!

Honda & Other Honda Models / Re: Gulp! at Honda UK April 24 registration figures.
« Last post by Rory on May 08, 2024, 09:58:13 PM »I wonder if, down the line, Honda will pull out of the UK market like Mitsubishi.
It's been talked about for years - not just the UK, it's even more of a marginal brand in the rest of Europe.
