Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Milestone mileage reached.
« Last post by jasonevans on Today at 11:47:28 AM »I had a MK1 Jazz before and sold it to a friend. The car has currently just ticked over 201k and so far all it's needed are normal wear and tear items and a clutch at 165k.
Reguler oil changes are the key to keeping these cars going I think.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Scratch near Gearstick
« Last post by Westy36 on Today at 11:44:42 AM »With our car, that would be filed under patina and evidence of a life well lived. 
That said, I know these things can annoy once you've noticed them. Maybe replace with a cheap used part? Ebay would be my choice for searching.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Milestone mileage reached.
« Last post by Westy36 on Today at 11:42:07 AM »Our loyal little Jazz hit 144,444 miles the other day. 
The car has never broken down, only ever needed servicing and still runs really well using no oil between services. Brilliant little motors.
Next stop, 150k! I've total confidence he'll fly past that milestone.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Whats difference between ls, s and se models?
« Last post by Westy36 on Today at 11:30:47 AM »Your car has fog lamps in the lower bumper. On the MK2 Jazz in the UK, only the posh models got those so I'm guessing you've got the SE? Sport models come with side skirts IIRC. You could phone your local dealer with the VIN number and ask them?

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Where can I buy a rear subframe? used or new
« Last post by Westy36 on Today at 11:18:28 AM »I would be in touch with professional vehicle dismantlers and breakers such as Synetiq, Reclamat and Silverlake. Give them a call with your VIN no and see what they have.
Ebay cars breaking is another good option. Breakers list the cars and you contact them for the part you need. Photos will be provided and parts come with a warranty from decent firms.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Honda Jazz Mk3 Heater on Ex-Navi
« Last post by ramaka on Today at 11:07:20 AM »I am a new driver with first car as Honda Jazz MK3 Ex-Navi. I don't know how heaters works in Cars hence want to know how much time does it normally takes for the heater to start blowing warm air when the outside temperature is in the range of 5-10 degrees. What I noticed is, it start blowing warm air after 5-10 minutes of driving, is that normal?
After staring the car I set the temperature to hi and climate control to auto mode, and then once after 5-10 minutes when it starts to blow the warm air I set the temperature back to 20 degrees or so. Am I doing rights here and Am I using the heating system correctly?
Also can someone please explain the mechanics behind the functioning of Heater in general.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Honda Recall for steering
« Last post by Westy36 on Today at 11:00:26 AM »Good to know the Jazz isn't involved.
I remember with VW diesels, they got that sorted pronto and made VW buy back all the affected cars customers. Here? VW UK recalled to modify the software, which overloaded injectors and egr, and gave a paltry 24 month warranty. Pathetic.
I wonder what the US NHTSA would make of the brake simulator if the US still had the Honda FitThey'd have it sorted long ago. We need the same body here.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Auto assist light flashing Honda Jazz 2018
« Last post by ColinB on Today at 09:47:31 AM »Sorry got name wrong. It is the Auto idle stop system.
There is a whole raft of issues with the Idle-Stop system on the Jazz, including a very long list of factors that influence whether it functions or not. If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest looking at the online manual ...
https://www.honda.co.uk/content/dam/local/uk/cars/owners/manuals/2016%20Jazz%20Owners%20Manual.pdf
... and searching for "idle stop". The main section starts around p.404, but there are references elsewhere as well. Pages 100-101 refer to the indicator blinking, which mean different things depending on whether it's green or amber.
However, most of the indicator messages imply the system is functional but not stopping the engine. Pushing the button on the centre console should turn the system off (indicator will light steady amber); if that doesn't happen, it sounds like there may be a fault with the system itself, which probably means a dealer visit.

« Last post by jazzaro on Today at 07:55:29 AM »Sorry got name wrong. It is the Auto idle stop system.Does the start and stop work with the new battery?
If not, which battery do you have now? If the battery is a standard lead acid or an AGM type, it won't work, the car needs an EFB or AFB battery.
