Should I avoid the CVT

[guest5117]

Yes,
I looked at the receipt now and its £40 for 4 litres (before tax) for the CVT-F (- £10 discount) so it costs around £34 including tax and another £36 for labour. So I need to save up some money and a proper flush and repeat done soon.

I have called the dealer that I bought the car from and he has agreed to change the bearing this Saturday FOC.

Maybe say something to the dealer about the judder too?

Get a second lot of CVT-F in there and work from there.

How do you find the rest of the car anyway?

I already bought 2x 4L CVT-F fluids from ebay

To be honest, I have moved to Honda Jazz CVT from Lexus IS250 Auto  http://1drv.ms/1BKXX8r

I am not a happy bunny cause I had to sell my IS250 due to financial struggles. I loved that car. But then it cost me an arm and a leg to fuel, insure and tax.

I am now trying to be sensible  and saving about £70-£80 a month going the Jazz way, so hopefully will see the benefits once the niggles are out of the way.

I do really appreciate all the help I am getting on this forum.

Good luck with sorting the teething troubles out. (I'm waiting for you to tell me there is water in the spare wheel well  )

I find it a pleasant enough car to drive, it's not perfect, but it's an excellent package that should do everything you require. Look after it and it'll reward you with the savings.

Checked today...yayyy... no water in the spare wheel well.

One less thing to worry about!
