Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: You want an EV but have doubts...
« Last post by Jazzfan49 on October 06, 2024, 11:24:27 PM »£60 for 80 miles 
that equates to .75 miles per kilowatt that’s some terribly inefficient EV, considering most EV’s are capable of approximately 4 miles per kilowatt and at an average cost of £.79p/ kilowatt on the M1 motorway, so it should not cost more than £18.80 to charge for 80 miles and much less if you charge at home, my only concern with an EV is range and with the Jazz hybrid there is no such problem with it’s average 580 mile on a full tank.
So would i buy an EV well yes once 250/300 miles is possible on an 80% charge on a mid price vehicle as my budget would not stretch to Tesla money, Hybrid in my opinion is still the better option and is what I will go for next.

If so that is your problem! It contains salt and will completely block washer jets.
You need to flush the tank with hot water and keep doing so until the water shows absolutely no trace of 'gunge' .
If you can get the either end (preferably the tank end) of the pipe. disconnect and run hot water through it. Do it in short bursts, otherwise you run the risk of burning out the pump!
Always use same tesco washer fluid mixed to the correct ratio, there was no residue on the jets or in the pipes at all, they were very clean, when drilling them out a tiny rubber washer came out along with white plastic stuff, they were quite hard to drill so god knows whats inside them but it seems unnecessary and maybe the reason they clogged in the first place.
Yeah I used cheap fluid but everything is nice and clean and it was never a problem on my focus (2005), fiesta (2013) and jazz mk3 (2018).

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Rattling noise/sound, seems like it is coming from engine room, Crosstar 2024
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on October 06, 2024, 11:46:38 AM »I have come to accept that the engine sometimes runs when you might not expect it and sometimes faster and more noisily than usual. You can also notice things like aircon fans and tyre and wind noise can be more noticeable because its not hidden by the constant noise from a conventional ICE car.
I live on a main road and learned to ignore traffic noise. When staying in a rural location the silence is lovely. You can hear a leaf fall. But sheep can become annoying little bleaters and the dawn chorus of birds can be deafening
The following is pasted from the on line owners handbook.
● Auto Engine Stop/Start
Your vehicle’s petrol engine automatically stops running during vehicle operation or restarts while the vehicle is stationary when it is
appropriate.
In the following cases, however, auto engine stop may not activate.
• The vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, or driving uphill or at high speed.
• The climate control system is in heavy use.
• The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.
• The High Voltage battery is too low on charge.
• Sounds Unique to the e:HEV
When you first start driving this vehicle, you will likely hear some unfamiliar sounds, particularly when you turn on the power system, or
while you are driving or accelerating from a stop. Some of these sounds are unique to this vehicle's powertrain, fuel, and climate control,
and High Voltage battery cooling systems; others are similar to sounds generated by conventional automobiles that typically are masked by
louder noises absent from a vehicle of this design. These sounds are not a cause for concern, and you will soon recognise them as normal
and thus be able to detect any new or unusual noise should one develop

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Removing tail lights
« Last post by JamXRS on October 06, 2024, 11:22:19 AM »I feel we are going off topic here.
My questions was if anyone has removed the bit that goes on the boot door, as I'm not sure if it's done from the little cover behind?
This can also be in case the tail light is damaged and needs replacing.
Thank you

Bits of plastic and rubber came out, I think these tiny bits and pieces are there to create smooth laminar flow but because they are so intricate they became blocked, you don't need laminar flow on window washers that's crackers.
