Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Difficulties in changing wiper blades
« Last post by OldBat on March 24, 2023, 04:07:30 PM »I changed my rear wiper blades recently, without any difficulties. I've now tried to change the front passenger side blade, but cannot remove the old wiper blade. There is a kind of tab that can be pushed (upwards), but it is still impossible to "slide" the blade out. I'm worried that if I use too much force, it will break. Should a lot of force really be required? Or am I doing something wrong? Changing the rear wiper did not involve any form of violence!

The engine does respond in a different way, and sometimes sounds like its high revving... almost like you're clutch slipping. A couple of times I have put my foot down too heavily and the revs increase dramatically before catching up with itself. I have also now experienced that algorithm with the revs that Honda built in to make it sound like the gears are changing (pointless).
I think what Travis means though, is that sudden engine noise that kicks in for no reason that the driver has intended. Again, like the others have mentioned.. I now accept the engine configuration is doing what it needs to to to optimise performance and efficiency. I only really notice it at slow speeds, when I am using things that drain the battery quickly too often.
there isn't an automatic gearbox - it is direct electric motor drive until +/- 70 mph then direct enging drive.
I know how it works, but it is easier to say 'auto'.. especially as it has P N R D B and it is not a conventional stick shift.

Dutch motorways are considered the safest and most comfortable roads in the world. The acclaimed status of Dutch roads is largely due to Very Open Asphalt Concrete (ZOAB), which has been used on almost the entire main road network. It is relatively quiet, safe and comfortable.
'The miracle of ZOAB' tells how ZOAB was developed, from the first experiments on Dutch motorways in the 1970s to the breakthrough of ZOAB in the late 1980s and its massive application in the 1990s.
ZOAB was developed to improve road safety during rain and broke through when the top layer also turned out to be much quieter.

Noise reduction from 2.5 dB at low speeds to around 6 dB at high speeds.
Edit: The Netherlands and Japan are the only two countries in the world where Very Open Asphalt Concrete (ZOAB) is used on almost all roads.
