Apparently Honda have been replacing these CVT trannies, even out of warranty.....you just have to push Honda hard hard hard to have it done.

Having said that, it could just be something minor....

Ditto with my old GD CVT.

10W/40 is not too heavy for the Jazz engine.

Hasn't oil choice been mentioned somewhere before :o

Yep. No manual..................and ugly.

Haha. Just a pair of wheel bearings ( and a few other bits, new discs, pads ) thank Budha. But, mechanic said previous owners mechanic put in very nasty front brake pads, which lead to overheating...

Bloody gearboxes !!!!!!!

Bought an 04 Toyota Corolla 5 speed for the sons first car, looks immaculate, only 75K km's. We noticed a slight bearing noise in the front after we bought it, been...

You've already replaced the CVT fluid with genuine Honda CVT stuff ?

Power steering in the Jazz is electric pump, not old style belt driven hydraulic. It's a sealed unit requiring no fluid top up.

PS, there are no lifters in the Jazz. You may have some tappet...

God I hope not.

Honda have been accused of losing the plot over the last few years. This car would confirm it.

Yep. Did the valve clearance on the GD Jazz at 80K. Valvetrain was spotless. I think peoples are getting a little to "anal" these days. We are not talking 70's or 80's technology fuel and oils...

I suppose 8 years and 100% reliability would make me right. Both engines didn't/dont use any oil between oil changes, and run as smooth as new at all times. Why would Honda risk their reputation on...

No. Genuine stuff is a rip off. I use Ryco oil filters, and Wesfil air filters ( identical ) that cost $15 ( as opposed to $60 plus for oem ) Never had a problem. I use Valvoline Durablend Semi...

Honda stipulate an oil filter change every second oil change, or 20K km's. I've stuck with their recommendation for my GD Jazz and my GE jazz. 8 years and 150K combined in both cars, no issues with...

Yes Honda............why no manual ? I view my GE VTIS manual as some sort of "collectors car".:p

Sounds like clutch issue type of mileage for sure.

What's the mileage ?

I just want an " affordable" cat back for the GE. Can't believe no one makes a reasonable cheapie for the GE.

Cool. I'm gonna get one.................and dump it sik Forester style.

Apparently an all new Jazz to be released at the end of 2013. I urge all Honda enthusiasts to ask honda to bring out a K20A , LSD, 6 speed equipped rocket ;)

From memory, it's another valve clearance check ( I wouldnt be bothered unless you've got valve clatter/ noise, i think you can do 80K km's between valve checks TBH ), oil/filter, air filter.

Luckily, my car didn't need the motion springs replaced. Apparently they can tell from numbers stamped on the valve gear if they need replacing, it was only a certain dud batch. So all they did was...

Burning smell is normal in all new cars for a week or two.

Dont most people opt for 195/50/16 over the standard 185/55/16 ( a weird tyre size with limited choice ) ? i know I will be.

I find the 1.5 manual in my GE performs well given the cars intended purpose, along with the handling and brakes. Outright performance only counts at one place anyway, the race track.

My last...

My sons 02 holden Astra is supposed to have "sealed for life" auto tranny oil. We changed it at 120K km's, and the difference was huge, just like your result. It will be done every 50K km's from...
