Hey guys,

I've been experiencing a rather concerning issue with my 2007 1.4 manual Jazz and I'm hoping to get some insight from the community here. Whenever I accelerate hard, particularly in 1st, 2nd, and occasionally 3rd gear, I notice a knocking noise occurring between 2000 and 3000 rpm. Noise doesn't occur when driving in reverse. My mechanic suspects it might be related to the gearbox.

I'm aware of the infamous input shaft bearing noise that's common in lower gears. I've had that noise since I bought the car. But this knocking noise during hard acceleration has me a bit worried, especially considering the mileage on my car, which now stands at 170k kilometers (105k miles).

Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? If so, what was the root cause and how did you address it? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

When my next service is due, it's third, in August, I'm considering going back to Crown Honda for it if it entails a brake fluid change

My nearest dealer is Reading but I've read some worrying reviews about this dealer on various forums with them being less than helpful when problems arise ..... unless you're paying

Just glad I've been a Which? Legal member for years. Used them a couple of times and they are good with consumer problems

Now that my Jazz had been repaired I intend to exchange it for a Kia Niro which has a 7 year warranty. I don’t feel I can trust the reliability of Hondas after my recent experience.

As a result of all this I've changed my 2020 Crosstar for a nearly new Advance Sport a year before scheduled, was pleasantly surprised at the generous p/ex I received.

I've just come across a mention of Honda using soy in their wiring looms to make them more eco-friendly. Unfortunately, rodents welcome this. Here's one discussion on the subject https://www.hondacivicforum.co.uk/threads/rats-chewed-thru-my-electrical-looms.86427/. The www has more.

It has been mentioned, that a brake fluid change at the service interval, has triggered this fault. Is that the case, or has a different picture emerged?

 It’s good to know that my 22 registered car will be covered, but what are the newest cars affected?

Even if this issue starts after a brake fluid change, it is still a manufacturing defect.

Thats exactly how I installed my dashcam

Things I could do without? Almost ever "extra" included in modern cars, specifically (but not limited to):-
Privacy glass (makes the rear view very dim)
Heated seats/wheel
Most "driver aids" especially lane departure warning and the like. If you NEED aids like this then you should consider if you are concentrating enough on your driving.
Pseudo buttons (impossible to use without taking your eyes off of the road)
Mobile phone integration (again, you should be driving not holding a potentially stressful conversation)

I could go on, but I'll shut up before you realise what an old fart I really am.

...I won't insult you or your ideology so, no comment.

I used option connectors on two of the Civics because they were easily available courtesy of the forum members, but on the Jazz with 4 USBs available there is no point to the 12V socket so just used that. I installed just like Nicksey's pics, virtually no wires visible, even for the rear camera, my 12V adapter just has a side cable exit on the passenger side tucked away, and a pass through USB power at the rear, so now three USBs at the front.

Good to hear that Honda are covering the whole repair Chis52- as they should and for everyone else. As I reported before the Forum went down last week, Honda are covering all of mine and I have that verbally and in writing. However the delivery date of the part, according to the dealer, has been put back at least another week which is not ideal. I will contact DVSA again to see if they have had a reply from Honda concerning the issue and whether there will be a recall which should make it easier for everyone else who have had to pay, or are currently negotiating or are going to experience this problem in the future in or out of the manufacture's original or extended warranty. Even though some garages may be reporting just a few examples, my dealer  is still of the opinion that the numbers could easily run into hundreds and has already been said, we are just a small proportion of Honda owners discussing it on this forum.
I should also add that its good to get the forum back after a week without it.
