Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Kremmen on Today at 03:30:20 AM »For me, the bottom line is that we have a defective part which is a ticking time bomb
Each day, as I approach 3 years of ownership, I go out to the car not knowing if I will be driving today
Honda, knowing the problem, should be fixing this
If the replacement cost was a few hundred then I doubt there would be as many complaints but when they want up to £3k it leaves a very nasty taste
This is also true about the 1 litre 2017/2018 Civic that has a pseudo rubber timing belt that runs in oil and is failing, either snapping or shredding prematurely often causing up to £16k worth of damage
Honda have issued a recall but the range of VIN does not cover all affected vehicles

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Over heating please serious help
« Last post by Takumi.86 on May 04, 2024, 11:51:02 PM »I have a 2005 honda jazz 1.3 idsi in middle east, I have a serious problem need help as the mechanics here are noob. Please help!!!
I had a overhearing problem with my jazz it reached 120 degrees i shut the engine immediately, then filled coolant and drove to mechanic, had the small vaccum pipe leaking the steel one which goes over the intake. Then i removed the thermostat i did a delete on it idk i taught it was the thermostat, soon my radiator fan stopped working i could not find the issue so they made it run always. Car was okay for some days. Again i had a small leakage i cant figure out from where. The problem i encounter now is so strange " car stays cold for long when starts after a 25km run was heating, I shut the engine before it vouched 105 degrees and waited for 10 seconds turned the engine on and car was fine dropping temperature from 103 to 74 and then drove back hom 25kms and before I reach home had the same issue but i killed the engine before it reached 103. And once my car was at 98 i opened the radiator cap while the car running topped it up with water and waited for long but temperature did not go down from 98 it should stay at 80 as no thermostat and fan running all the time waited for 5 mins still same after 1 min of driving started dropping the temperature and went to 74 and my sensor seems fine as i know car feels different when over 100 degree Celsius. My mechanic states that i have a bad head maybe the reason for it. Also after 10 hours of sitting when i open the radiator cap without starting the car there is a strong hissing sound of releasing pressure from radiator, also my reservoir is not used stays full the whole time. Please i need help as headgasket is a big work

« Last post by Nicksey on May 04, 2024, 09:30:39 PM »So if the premature failure of the brake simulator isnt a manufacturing defect then its therefore an engineering design failure .. arguably worse from hondas perspective as it makes them more liable .blaming the defect on the sub contractor who makes the part removes the stress from honda . Failures have occured at low mileages and no one has yet covered distances aporoaching 100k in a mark 4 jazz - it doesnt appear to be failure after x thousand presses of the brake pedal so nothing is wearing out as such .
Interestingly, the part is failing after under less duress than a standard cars braking system.. as we all know that the regen system allows you to drive smoothly WITHOUT using the brakes as much.

« Last post by 5thcivic on May 04, 2024, 08:14:05 PM »According to the link an extra 2 years to take it to 5 years is £799. That's a lot more than £399 if that was the offer when you bought the car (if you had the service plan which was a no brainer if you did the minimum finance)?

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Newbie Jazz help!
« Last post by Cammytammy on May 04, 2024, 07:32:27 PM »Hey guys,
New jazz owner (well the Mrs bought one) however I need some help as it has some issues!
First - the juddering issue. Judders when driving (worse when acceleration hard) The Speedo also doesn't work. From what I have read, I have ordered a new speed sensor and plan to change the transmission oil (possibly put some xdaco in)
Would someone be able to link me the correct transmission fluid to buy please? Found some on cox motors for £79 odd. The car I believe is a 1.3. it has a 7 speed button on the steering wheel while enables me to change gear with the paddles behind steering wheel. (It doesn't judder at all on this mode)
Which car has she bought? Can you tell from the info above?
The 2nd issue is, sometimes the power steering light comes on and the steering goes heavier. It doesn't always come on every drive, and goes away if you turn car off and on again.
Thanks in advance for any guidance! Jazz newbs here. Ask me about the mk8 civic and I know my stuff lol

« Last post by coldstart on May 04, 2024, 06:47:37 PM »I think this clears up the fact that this offer is at point of sale, ie not available to me to purchase in year 3 of ownership.
That's quite the opposite of what my dealership tells me:
They recommended me *NOT* to buy the extended warranty until year three just in case I (or someone else) "totaled" the car before this time - I wanted to buy it at time of purchase.
So, I'm waiting out next to three years of ownership before buying the prolonged warranty.
You should check with your dealership about this - Honda can't be that different in handling extended warranty across Europe (before you go for it: I'm well aware of the fact that neither Switzerland nor GB is a member of the EU)
Addendum:
Please have a look at Extended guarantees

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Spacesaver spare wheel
« Last post by coldstart on May 04, 2024, 06:36:10 PM »In this situation of a slowish puncture, and you decide to carefully drive on to the next (motorway) services, I had heard that the breakdown companies won’t attend; as they would if you are on the hard shoulder.
I would love to have this possible myth dismantled!
As I have not yet experienced this dire situation far from home yet (fingers crossed!) I cannot tell you about the demeanour of breakdown companies.
My only "slow puncture" so far occured only five miles from home and I was able to go to the tyre shop of my choice and they were like: "What do you want? - Everything looks okay!" - Yes - That's because I inflated the tyre before I drove to you!
Turned out there was a screw in the tyre and they were able to remove it and safely fix the puncture because I didn't apply the gunk.
So, I'm a bit at a loss regarding the "myth" part of your posting - care to clarify?
