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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
