Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Jazzik on Today at 02:27:27 PM »@ Nicksey:
My question was: "Our 2021 Jazz EX experienced none of these failures. I wonder how many forum members here can say the same."
There is a poll "Which Mk4 Jazz do you own?" and total 267members voted. This means that 267 forum members own a Mk4 Jazz. Some have been confronted with the failures mentioned. Among them Nicksey.
But what I asked about: how many of those 267 are not confronted with these failures...

This is the exploded view.
That is fantastically helpful, thankyou!!!

Despise steering wheel covers. They look hideous and are actually unsafe, they can let the wheel slip in your hands.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Nicksey on Today at 12:52:02 PM »Now I’ve read of the following problems with the Mk4 Jazz:
Brake failure
Door mirror motors failing
Seat base sides cracking
Delaminating windscreens
I’m really going off the idea of buying a brand new one as these failures are on cars that can’t be any older than 4 years and most seem to have low mileage
In all fairness: Your list above shows the accumulated failures reported by a multitude of forum members.
This doesn't necessarily mean, that every Jazz is bound to experience all of these.
Positive example: Our 2021 Jazz EX experienced none of these failures and is performing flawlessly(so far). I wonder how many forum members here can say the same.
I have had the delaminating windscreen, mirror replaced and washer nozzle replaced. 72 plate. More than anything I have had to do with all 12 of my previous Renaults (one had to have a new coil).

Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: sunglasses for driving
« Last post by Jazzdriver on Today at 12:12:22 PM »You can get lenses that change according to light, rather than according to UV (which is blocked by the windscreen). They were introduced with driving in mind. Look around for someone who offers them.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Knocking noise coming from gearbox under accelration
« Last post by jthorpvoodoo on Today at 12:00:23 PM »The noise got to be bad enough to where I was thinking that a catastrophic failure would have happened if I kept driving it.
Initially I could barely hear the problem in only 1st and 2nd gear, but as the noise got louder, at some point I felt that it was "bad enough" and unsafe, and therefore needed to fix it.
The place I went to took my old gearbox and supplied another reconditioned gearbox, so I wasn't able to open the old gearbox up and see what the actual specific issue was.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Seeking Guidance for Dashcam Hardwiring and Installation
« Last post by Karoq on Today at 11:14:36 AM »Bear in mind DashCams run on FIVE VOLTS! !2V into 5V doesn't go!! (not for long anyway) I 'fried' two dashcams before realising that. It took a few weeks, but it happens.
So make sure you get a voltage dropper (EBay)
I haven't hard wired a Dashcam on any of my Hondas and can pass no comment on the connector mentioned.
On my Skodas I used a piggy back fuse connector on the rear wiper* circuit as I wanted it to switch off when engine not running if you buy a camera with a battery it will usually wake up and lock a clip if the car is impacted. On my 'TOGUARD' you can adjust the impact level.
I use https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403970638552
The picture quality is amazing. No GPS so no speed, apart from that it is brilliant. The second Toguard camera I have had. They are excellent value.
I couldn't be bothered with wiring a separate rear cam, so opted for the internal which does at least give you a bit of rear protection.
* cars (all modern ones) fitted with 'Canbus' electrickery can be very picky about being interfered with, so Kremmen's warning is valid. That Is why I chose the rear wiper, as it spends most of the time not working. I never had any problems so doing.
