    hihgest mileage Jazz

    Hi all, my 2004 Jazz VTIS is fast heading toward 200,00 kms, current sitting at 192,000 kms. I am just wondering whether anyone has a higher mileage Jazz out there. I hope to keep my car until 300,000 kms.

    Would be good to know what/if any mechanical issues are occurring with higher K examples.

    Sadly mines ( 06 VTI CVT ) only got 95,000K, no problems so far apart from 1 slightly warped front disc fixed with a $15 surface machine, and 1 right rear wheel bearing fixed for $70 with a repco replacement.

    I want to update to something else soon, but, it still drives like new and is hard to beat for practicality and cheap running costs.

    Mine's close to 180,000 kms and still going strong. Only cosmetic issues (grr other people's door damage and @#%#@$ rock chips). Engine seems to be fine - very well built for a little car!

    hmm.. nah, it was about 170,00 when it was Rebuilt.

    When they pulled it apart it still had the factory hone marks so we decided not to overbore it. (wanted to keep as much meat in the cylinder wall as we could), so it's currently done 189,000kms.

    80% of all this is highway km's, hence the state of the engine when it was pulled apart, (drives from brisbane to tenterfield/stanthorpe 4-5 times in a year)

    Gearbox is still good and tight, and honestly, they only things we have trouble with is stuff i have modified, and MAYBE A coil pack. (looks like one has a little water damage and i have an ignition problem @ light throttle when it's really hot)

    SO, DONT modify your JAZZ if you want it to last forever, and change the oil lots

    Not necessarily, but in most circumstances aesthetic and performance mods cause damage or lead to causing damage. But that's the price you pay for having it go faster, the candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

    hondas go on forever anyway..... with the jazz most of the time what you would do would be I/H/E which shouldn't affect it too much, start messing around with the internals then you will see problems occur

    I was reading the log books the other day for my wife's jazz and was very concerned when I noticed the first recommended coolant change was at 200,000kms, O.O and at no point in the book was there a requirement to change the timing belt/chain....

    nope...no timing belts, like all new cars...all modern cars have timing chains, and the only reason you need to change the timing chain is when it stuffs up. which is never if you frequently service it.
