Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: CVT-F Oil Options
« Last post by paulhipw on Today at 09:52:54 PM »I had just bought the car and returned it to the seller. He did the change I supplied the oil, which was £83 including postage.
I am sure I could have undone the bolt but decided to get the seller involved.
I would not use an extraction system for the reason you outlined.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: CVT-F Oil Options
« Last post by cyrax.net on Today at 08:27:00 PM »When was the last time you changed the CVT oil, and how much did it set you back? I need to see how much the genuine oil is now.

I tried to change the oil on my Jazz but could not undo the sump plug.I'm not surprised, and yours is much newer. I'm sure I'll have a difficult time taking it off. I was advised by a friend to use an oil extraction pump - "faster, easier and less mess". While I've seen people do it for engine oil, not sure it's possible for gearbox oil, and if it's bad practise. Inevitably, some gunk will remain that the pump can't pull out.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Re: Rust Issue
« Last post by SpookyGal on Today at 07:55:03 PM »The rusty disc doesnt look too bad to me. Some cars, inc the Jazz, get surface rust on discs very quickly when not driven regularly. Even overnight in damp weather.Oh if you pop on the UK used and approved Honda Jazz page, there have been loads of 2018/9 mk3's for sale. This is how I found the car. This one is just under 8 years old.
The body work adjacent to the inner wheel lining doesnt look great but I am more concerned about what you can see in the background. Looks like a brake line is badly rusted.(although this part of the picture is out of focus ) . Sometimes dubious 'cowboy' car dealers might seek to disguise this with a coat of paint, or worse still, a coat of underseal. This might deceive a buyer but not an MOT tester.
There also appears to be other rust in the same, distant ,underbody area but this is not always a bad thing. Some suspension parts are made of cast iron which is notoriously difficult to effectively prime and paint. Its often left unpainted and allowed to form surface rust which is actually quite an effective protective barrier on cast iron.
I'm surprised that Honda dealership is selling an 8 year old car direct to the public. They would normally pass it on through the trade. It could indicate that its a particularly good example - but maybe not.
I agree with the others. If it doesnt feel right, trust your instincts. I dont know the legal situation about return of deposit etc. The citizens advice bureaux might be able to advise.
I read your post and took your words on board. After getting the service history from them today and looking through it all, I have taken a punt. 14 days rejection and they have to drive it nearly 60 miles to drop it off. Yes, I have seen and test driven the car. It will be booked straight in with my local garage to go up on the ramp and assessed. If I have done this right, with a little rust care, I may have got a good 'un!
If not, it goes back.

« Last post by jazz 2 on Today at 06:12:12 PM »Many Thanks both fully understand- I don't think I will get to 10 posts as no longer have the car
The issue I have is that when we owned the car someone Stole the cat and damaged the under side - we bought all the bits to get to fixed again as per my item from the CAT back with sensors etc - we no longer have the car and just looking to ways of passing these parts on to like minded people as they are no longer required by us
Thanks

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015-2020 / Re: Inaccurate speedometer
« Last post by FarNorthJazz on Today at 04:55:56 PM »So in town I set the speed limiter to 22, knowing that the car will not exceed that, and I am safely within the speed limit
Not quite. The speed limiter only affects the throttle, it does not brake the car to stay within the set speed, so it is possible to over speed. An example is the northbound A3 through Guildford, which has a 50 limit and average speed cameras. But it’s a steep hill, and a car will exceed 50 if left to its own devices even with the limiter set at 50. You do get a bleeping warning if you go too far above the limit, but in an average speed measurement zone you may still get into trouble.
Good point by Colin B. If the speed limiter is set, the Jazz will "run away" if going downhill, although it does bleep a warning.
Mrs FarNorthJazz has a Subaru Forester - and Subaru must have spent an extra 50p on the speed limiter circuit board - if you run downhill with the limiter set on the Forester it actually puts the brakes on and holds the set speed !

« Last post by Kremmen on Today at 04:28:04 PM »1) I am not saying you are not genuine
Over the years I've seen many new members on various forums offer items for sale that don't exist
They offer items then demand either a bank transfer or PayPal Friends and Family, neither of which is protected
One step forums take to help is to insist on a number of posts and/or a membership time to help reduce this problem

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Engine Light
« Last post by TnTkr on Today at 03:06:58 PM »Replacing an O2-sensor is not a big thing. Neither the part nor work. I'd say it's defenitely worth doing. It may get worse in that sense, that you can not hide the fault when selling the car, and then it reduces the price you get.
Besides I am not sure which O2-sensor you actually use, but if it is the one before the cat, then it may lead to damage, which requires replacing the cat. And then it is much more expensive. In my terminology that sensor would be upper and it is primary because it gives the input to fuel injection. The one after the cat is secondary and exists only to verify the system works. Older cars had only the one before the cat.

« Last post by Hinckley65 on Today at 02:37:17 PM »I took it to a garage who cleared the fault but told me it is the upper (secondary) O2 sensor . They are calling me later today with a quote- the question will be, is it worth doing if it's not causing problems. I am contemplating changing next March when I take a pension lump sum. Also wondering about what to buy.
