Had an instance on Mt Gravatt Capalaba Road recently where I saw the radar and was doing bang on 60 by the GPS and some tosser in a Lancer sped by me setting off the camera. I haven't as yet, 2...

old fart rant warning.:p

:eek:
Well there is 3 points and $2000 in fines straight up. This is Oztraya, we have registration plates not license plates. :angel: {funny as it may be, the 2 toll...

Aznalex, as you appear tp be new to car maintainence, please please always use the set of car stands too. Always leave the jack where you last used it to lift the car but just shy of touching the car...

OK, car in at Honda at the moment for the start clutch or transmission replacement. D-I-L not sure what they are actually doing but will find out and let me know.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........................
Sure this isn't a gee up????

And, the engine is warm or you allow at least 15 minutes if the engine is cold for the majority of the oil to reach the sump.

Thommo, I think the start clutch has been done too now. The EGR valve was eventually replaced and fixed the erratic running but the start up vibration continued and my daughter in law took the car...

Best off to find out exactly how much oil the sump takes. Take note whether the oil quantity includes the filter; if not, add about 150-200ml for the filter volume.
If you just do it by guess work,...

What actually happened? Was the plug overtightened and snapped? Was it a manufacturing fault with the plug itself? As long as you didn't drive with any foreign bits in the cylinder(plug fragments) it...

Yes, it's a good thing they are backing the product. Pity more manufacturers didn't do the same when there are defined issues, where a fair amount of customers present with the almost identical...

Jazz has been taken to Honda by daughter-in-law's family and has been given a total flush this time, not just drain and fill. If this doesn't fix the problem I am told the transmission will be...

Thanks Lionheart.
No good to me I found out, my scanner won't read Honda codes anyway as it's mainly euro based. I thought it was a basic generic one but hasn't got any Honda capabilities if the...

Hoey, the change in question was about $100 worth of fluid. Right price but for a workshop who should have the correct equipment, they IMO needed to do a full change/flush, using the full 7L or...

Hey hoey, the car has only 41000km on it actually.(it's up top but typed as 41xxxkm, sorry).
Been around cars all my life and always thought there was something wrong with it, even the day we test...

Thanks Ricerocket, that sounds like the EGR which I am also getting her to have checked.

OK, my daughter-in-law had her Jazz's trans flushed. The workshop that did it haven't given any info on what they replaced the fluid with, except to say it was Honda fluid.
\My suspicions are that,...

OK, asked this Q in the jazz section but haven't had a reply as yet.
is it easy to locate the EGR valve on these motors?
I don't have a workshop manual as yet but will search the net for...

Revy, I wouldn't use any anti-leak tape on a hose joint. Just make sure where ever you put the t-piece the hose or line you cut is the same diameter as the T. The tape could cause a leak if you don't...

My daughter-in-law has a 2003 Jazz, 1.3CVT as some may know.
Can anyone tell me the location for the OBD scan socket?
Also, where exactly on the engine is the EGR valve/solenoid located,...

Dragging up the past here, sorry.
$470, WOW, they charge like real euro car dealers do.:eek:
Where on the Jazz 1.3 engine is the EGR valve located. Don't want to get the wrong bit off. Haven't...

Will say that the norm' for modern cars with comp controlled idle etc is for the idle to be increased when the a/c cuts in. It can drop back a little when it settles but it's not usually the case as...

Yeah, typically like ALL dealers, they do this because they are then getting your hard earned and it's usually 45-70% more than a qualified mechanic. Then you have to go to them for the replacement...

08ESE, is yours a CVT Jazz, early model? You are talking the O2 sensor I guess.
Daughter in laws Jazz has got the same problem and thought from all searching it was the CVT so had the fluid changed....

Yep, already have a scan tool.
Will check it out this weekend.
Thanks guys

OK, just gota call from my daughter in law. Sounds as though her Jazz(early model) has thrown this fault this morning. Turned off car and restarted and no light. If it's only O2 sensor that's a...
