Honda jazz DIY repair

From the moment of the previous message, we have traveled with Jazik for almost a year and another 15 thousand. During this time, the car continued to delight.

And the car is already 7 years old and the mileage has passed over 115 thousand km.

And in August, another MOT took place, in my opinion the 8th in a row. There were no problems with maintenance, everything was planned - oil, filters.

But a couple of stocks of MOT, not related to the machine were. I'll tell you about them.

FOR THAT, the master advised me not to put the oil filter, which I bought in Exist. He twisted it for a long time, examined it, blew into it, and as a result said that the filter was fake.

In August, we made a traditional race with Jazik in the Stavropol Territory, along the Don and Kavkaz highways.

The Don highway is getting better and better every year, although there are more and more paid sections. Voronezh now generally pass unnoticed. The terrible condition of the road was in the Kamensk-Shakhtinsky district of the Rostov region, as after the bombing. A couple of times I flew into large pits, which is also traditional for such trips. The tires have held up. By the way, I like the new Michelin, quieter and softer, you ride like winter Velcro. There are no questions about the car.

The temperature approached a stable +12 C at night and it was decided to change the tires for summer. Arriving at the service station, I decided to change the oil at the same time, the term almost approached the regulations. Honda 5W-30 oil (semi-synthetics). at the service station there was an action on the collapse-convergence of 50%, then after changing the shoes of the car, this procedure was carried out.

1. change of rubber for summer with balancing.

2.pressure according to plate 2.2 - front, 2.1 - back

We have an adequate master for convergence / collapse - all angles are brought back to normal.

“The Russian representative office of the Japanese automaker Honda LLC Honda Motor Rus is recalling 135 thousand Honda vehicles and 323 Acura RDX vehicles in Russia. The recalled vehicles will have the airbag gas generator replaced. ”

I somehow initially let go of this topic, taking a pause, with doubts "is it worth it to climb at all?"

But then, when I came to repair the air conditioner, and eventually I came to the official dealer, they said to me: “but there is a gas generator for your machine, now we will change it”. It was me who asked them 2 months ago about this question and they wrote down my wine code.

Yes Yes! Really the first breakdown in 89 t.km and almost 6 years of operation. Well, creaking pads or a dead battery after 5 years in the past does not count.

And so, after the winter, the air conditioner stopped cooling!

Came here in Moscow, rare warm April days, when the temperature in the sun reached 18 degrees. Began to turn on the air conditioner, but it does not cool. I turn it on at minimum and at full power. does not cool. Stuffy warm air blows from the nozzles.

In winter, the air conditioner periodically turned on for 10 minutes, according to the instructions.

I made another TO-3, (mileage 25000), I had to change the front pads, which surprised me a little. But given the mileage, CVT and only city mileage, this is understandable. I put a subwoofer (170 euros). Although the warranty has ended, there is no desire to change anything as I planned before (bare device, pulling the steering wheel, seats).

I would like to share my thoughts on new cars that have come out recently. Especially about the CHR / Vezel / CX-3 line. Toyota recently launched its new CHR urban crossover.

Happy Holidays Everyone 

According to the former owner, another 3-4 thousand cars can be driven before replacement.

I decided not to delay, 3 months after the purchase (≈ 500 km. Mileage, total at the time of replacement 101,000 km), went to one of the club services in Moscow and the region (now we have moved to Vidnoye, Moscow region). By the way, the guys specialize in SUBARU and HONDA Jazz, it is clear that they are doing something else ... but at the weekend you will not get to them))) A line of hamsters)))) At that time, everything was done perfectly.Revealed a punctured coil, next time I changed it.

The other day passed the next MOT. In a row, it is the sixth. But in fact it turned out to be intermediate, tk. we have not yet reached TO 6 years or 90 t.km either in terms of time or mileage. Therefore, MOT was carried out simply because of the next 15 thousandth run.

As in previous times, MOT was boring and ordinary 🙂 Changing the oil, filters, running diagnostics. No comments. Plus, changing the variator oil, because more than 40 thousand have passed since the last replacement.

One of my “complaints” was that sometimes there is vibration in the cabin when idling, in D mode and the brake is pressed, well, when, for example, I got up at a traffic light.

Detailed instructions on how to replace rear brake pads in a Honda Jazz car. The video also contains photographs showing the process from different angles. The replacement is not difficult, after watching this lesson, you can repeat everything on your machine without any problems.

Video of replacing rear brake pads in a Honda Jazz (Honda Jazz):

There is nothing difficult in replacing rear brake pads on a Honda Jazz car, everything can be done on your own without resorting to the help of car services, where you will spend your time and money. When replacing brake pads, pay attention to the condition of other units, caliper, brake discs and hoses. Your life depends on their work.

Repair of Honda Jazz is a service that every owner of a compact Japanese car will certainly face, and if such a fate cannot be avoided, it is better to entrust your "iron horse" into the hands of experienced specialists of the Honda Auto Service network. Cars Honda jazz 2002-2008 and the second generation of this vehicle, presented on the domestic market in 2008, are very popular. Building on experience in renovation Honda jazz by our specialists, we will give a number of typical malfunctions that the owners of this car may encounter.

Honda jazz 2008 -.

The first thing you need to pay attention to is the engine's exactingness to the quality of oil and fuel. Traditionally, the repair of Honda Jazz, which requires intervention in the power unit system, is associated with many difficulties, since this unit of the Japanese manufacturer has a number of design features. So that the Honda Jazz repair does not come as a surprise to you, we recommend that you check the oil level in a timely manner and change the oil filter. For domestic operating conditions, it is recommended to change the oil and filter every 10 thousand kilometers. If the engine experiences oil "hunger" for a certain period of time, accelerated wear of the cylinder-piston group is observed, which entails serious material costs. The timing belt serves 130-150 thousand km, which is a fairly good indicator for a car of this class. Repair Honda jazz can be associated with the adjustment of valve clearances, which, under normal operating conditions, maintain factory standards up to 80-100 thousand km of distance traveled.

Transmission Honda jazz it is reliable enough and does not have any statistical faults. The only problem that may worry the owners of this car is that it can be relatively expensive to repair the Honda Jazz, which involves restoring the function of the gearbox. This is due to the fact that some Honda Jazz models are equipped with a CVT variator, the repair of which requires serious investments. In addition, not every specialist will carry out the repair of the Honda Jazz, the cause of which is a malfunction of the CVT variator, since this unit of the car is one of the most difficult in terms of design. To delay major repairs Honda jazz, we recommend that you follow the manufacturer's requirements and update the lubricating composition in the variator at least 30-40 thousand kilometers.

Honda jazz 2002 — 2008

Suspension Honda jazz 2002-2008 deserves all praise, since the main elements of the chassis, while observing a calm driving character by the driver, serve more than 100 thousand. In some cases, the repair of a Honda Jazz can be caused by a failure of the front stabilizer strut, the service life of which ranges from 60-70 thousand kilometers. The next stage of repair Honda jazz, associated with the renewal of the chassis, affects the malfunctions of shock absorbers and wheel bearings, the useful life of which reaches 80-90 thousand km. Our specialists have repeatedly carried out repairs to Honda Jazz, which were caused by suspension breakdowns, therefore, they have all the necessary skills to provide high-quality services.

The braking system of the car is capable of serving 120-140 thousand km of the distance traveled without any special malfunctions. Among the planned works, it should be noted the need to replace the brake pads, which can withstand 40-50 thousand km without any problems.

Repair of Honda Jazz, caused by problems with electrical equipment, was not often encountered in practice by our specialists, so we can state the sufficient reliability of this unit.

The network of technical centers Honda Auto Service carries out high-quality repair of Honda Jazz, regardless of the complexity and specifics of the task. We are waiting for you in any of our technical centers - the addresses of the Honda Car Service.

In fact, the Honda Fit, as time has shown, with proper and timely care, is almost an ideal car. However, it also has weak points. We will tell you about them. (And to those who think that Honda fit “Crumbles on the move” - look at the intervals of minor repairs of similar units in the popular Hyundai Accent car).

Hood space:

Spark plugs (front and rear rows) replace every 20,000.

The most common and widely reported Fit and Jazz problem with a 1.3 liter engine. Most often, problems with the ignition system result in jerking and vibration of the car during acceleration. The prevention method is the timely and correct replacement of all eight candles. The method of treating the problem is a trip to the master to find out the number of failed coils and their subsequent replacement.

On the L15A engine, this problem occurs much less frequently.

EGR valve (after 100,000 km - at any time)

The EGR valve, an ingenious environmental design solution for the environment. In most cases, for Russia, the thing is irrelevant, without which the engine cannot work smoothly and efficiently. It is an object for cleaning many comers. In fact, cleaning is not always necessary, even less often it is beneficial, even less often - it is beneficial for a long time (longer than a couple of weeks). In an amicable way, the part is disposable and must be replaced if an error occurs. The cost of a new valve is quite high, but usually one replacement is enough for at least 60,000 - 80,000 km.

CVT cushion (30,000 - 40,000 km)

An ongoing problem for Fit and Jazz owners. Malfunctions are detected during acceleration and deceleration - a certain mixture of knocking and vibration appears under the hood. Visual access to the automatic transmission pillow is almost unlimited and you can diagnose its failure yourself.

Headlamps and bulbs of dimensions (extremely inconvenient access)

Headlamps and dimensions change on the Honda Fit is very inconvenient. Those who do not own the technique begin to remove the bumper and the headlamp itself, which translates into a bunch of problematic work. In fact, the easiest way to get to the replacement site is to detach the plastic wheel arch liner. In words, it is quite easy to do this, but more often it is more convenient and correct to carry out this operation in a warm and clean room. In many car services, they do not always own the technology, doing unnecessary work, they often break the arch protection clips.Those who know how to do it change quickly and clearly, hence the high cost of the operation.

And further. In the Honda Fit, it will be most practical to use original lamps, which differ in the duration of walking without breakdowns, in order to minimize the frequency of service visits with this problem.

pillar supports (rubber) (30,000 - 40,000 km)
rack bearings - (40,000 - 50,000 km)

The supports and bearings of the struts are a real consumable for the Honda Fit or Jazz suspension, especially in Russia. If there is no problem with the support of the rack on a car that has stopped at the service, then it was replaced just the other day. In all other cases, rubber mount problems occur on every vehicle. The usual recommendation in this case is to replace both supports. Often, together with the supports, replacement of the strut bearings is required.

wheel bearings:
front: - 60,000 - 80,000 km
rear: - 80,000 - 120,000 km

The wheel bearings on this car cannot be classified as a "consumable", but their replacement interval often coincides with the replacement of the struts and the front silent blocks of the lower arms, which makes repairs much more expensive.

The problem of hub bearing replaceability is also well known. A special feature of Honda Fit bearings is the fact that they have special magnetic rings that are necessary for the normal operation of the ABS system. Replacing bearings with similar ones, but without a magnetic ring or with the wrong degree of magnetization, leads to a failure of the ABS system, and in the absence of the necessary knowledge, to an extremely expensive repair. Also, improper bearing installation can lead to a similar situation.

REAR * front lower arm bushings - 60,000 - 80,000 km.

Premature wear REAR The silent block occurs as a result of vehicle operation on poor roads. In Japan, as a rule, front silent blocks take care of more than 250,000 km, but in Russia, 80,000 is an excellent indicator, and more often they fail much earlier. The problem is the fact that the silent block is not produced separately by Honda itself. The automaker company recommends replacing the lower arm assembly, which is very expensive in Russia. If the replacement of the lever was carried out on the basis of the need to replace the ball joint located on it and capable of nursing up to 150,000 km without problems. Unfortunately, phyto-growers in Russia are given only two options - either an expensive replacement of the lower lever, or replacement of the silent block with a duplicate, very controversial quality, which sometimes fails after several hundred kilometers.

P.S. It should be said that on the first day of publication, the article caused a lively response. We have received many proposals to expand the list, or vice versa to remove some items from it. In this regard, we would like to explain what we mean when we talk about "weak points". We call weaknesses the problems that are typical for many cars of the same model that get into the service.

In most cases, the problems described are typical for any Honda Fit, the owner of which does not bother with preventive trips to the service station. So, almost all cars have problems with automatic transmission pillows, strut supports and bearings, torn silent blocks - in the majority, and the problem of candles and coils has become "the talk of the town." In most cases, there is no need to diagnose these elements - they are "tired" on almost every machine. This is what we call “weak points”.

Honda Jazz (Honda Fit) is a mass Japanese car corresponding to the B class segment according to the European classification. The car has a high roof and good handling. It is popular in Japan, it was chosen twice as the car of the year, and also once as the car of the decade.

The car is known under the name Fit in Japan, China, North and South America. Under the name Jazz - in Europe and some countries in Asia, Australia, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa.

The second generation of Jazz appeared in 2009.The style and concept of the previous generation have been preserved. The base of the car has increased by 50 mm, the track at the front has increased by 35 mm and by 30 mm at the rear. For the convenience of boarding passengers in the rear seats, the door opening angle was increased to 80 degrees.

In the Russian market, the Honda Jazz II is sold with a single 1.4-liter (1339 cc) engine with i-VTEC system. 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmissions are available (the latter has a manual gear selection mode). The CVT was abandoned on the grounds of environmental considerations.

The basic equipment of the new Jazz includes ABS, VSA stabilization system, front seat belt pretensioners, airbags and side curtain airbags. All wheel brakes are disc brakes.

The compact and lightweight Honda Jazz car is an excellent representative of its class - a high-quality and economical option at an affordable price, which did not sell a single drop in terms of quality or even design. No wonder it was even produced in revolutionary configurations with electric motors and a hybrid power plant! Now we will analyze the basic manipulations that each owner of this beautiful car may have to face, and give short instructions for each individual case.

You can buy spare parts for your car in our online store

Not more difficult than on Lanos or Ford, and maybe even easier. To begin with, open the hood of the car by lightly pressing the corresponding lever under the steering wheel on the side of the door. When the bonnet lock opens, you will need to manually lift and lock the bonnet. The next step is to disconnect the cable from the candlesticks. Using a wrench, unscrew the coil mounting bolts and take them out, thereby freeing the spark plugs. It remains only to unscrew the candles with a special candle wrench and put new ones in their place. This completes the replacement of candles - we twist everything back and do not forget to connect the cable chip to the candlesticks.

Best of all, the steps for disassembling mirrors can be expressed in a step-by-step list, which we did:

• gently press on the top of the mirror glass, thereby moving the lower edge of the glass towards us;
• detaching the hooks and clamps, remove the mirror from the body and, if necessary, change it;
• if you need to disassemble further, then disconnect the connectors of the mirror heater, if any.

This completes the disassembly - in order to finally disconnect the side mirror structure from the car, you will need to remove the interior plastic from the door and unscrew the mounting bolts, however, this is usually not required to replace and repair the mirrors.

First, you need to start and warm up the car well, and then set the speed to 3000 rpm. With the engine muffled, locate the "2P" connector under the torpedo and short-circuit it with the SCS. Next, you will need to check the ignition timing at idle speed and, if it does not give normal readings, adjust it by rotating a special distributor. It is better to clarify the necessary nuances and design features of the distributor and ignition in the official documentation or according to the diagrams of your model on the Internet.

Headlight adjustment is necessary almost every year, but fortunately it is a fairly simple procedure. Moreover, the principle of adjustment is identical for any passenger car. Here are the steps you need to follow:

• place the car in front of a vertical wall at a distance of 7-8m;
• draw a mirror image of the car headlights on the wall;
• the dipped beam should fall 7 cm below the headlight line, and the high beam should fall on the headlight line with an offset to the center;
• adjust the headlights to the above parameters.

The very procedure for adjusting the headlight tilt is very simple - on the inside of the hood on the headlight box there are special bolts that need to be rotated, thereby adjusting the angles of incidence of light in the horizontal and vertical planes.

To briefly and informatively illustrate this operation, we offer you a step-by-step plan for parsing a Honda Jazz torpedo:

• remove the panel shelf of the glove compartment and the lower part of the panel on the right side;
• by unscrewing all the bolts and removing the lower cover of the control panel from the clamps, we separate it from the torpedo;
• unscrew the connectors of the air conditioner control unit (if any) and release its wires from the clamps.

If the control panel is dismantled on a machine without built-in climate control, then in the glove compartment find and disconnect the recirculation adjustment cables and the mode control cable, as well as the air mixer control cable.

Basically, the structure of the 2008 Honda Jazz / Fit remains the same: a front-wheel drive 1-volume with flexible variable interior space. In the Japanese state, Fit also comes in 4WD modification - of course, with right-hand drive.

This car has only two engines, both gasoline. Both engines have the same cylinder diameter (73 mm), and the difference in piston stroke is 71.6 and 80 mm. Therefore, the working volume is equal to 1199 and 1339 "cubes", respectively. Both "fours" are all-aluminum - with a dual-mode 16-valve i-VTEC unit.

An excellent twist, thanks to which Honda engines are distinguished by their particular speed, economy and very rarely come for repair. Before getting behind the wheel of this unit, read the device and auto repair Honda Jazz.

In each cylinder of the vehicle, one of the two intake valves is actuated by two cams of different profiles. The executive hydraulic unit starts either "power" mode with rather narrow intake phases or "economical" mode - with very wide phases. Thus, we can say that under the hood of a Honda Jazz car there are two completely different engines functioning - in one set. Everyone understands that two engines are better than one, so the Honda Jazz is distinguished by solid dynamics - along with fuel economy.

The smaller motor has a capacity of up to 90 horsepower. at 6 thousand revolutions, and the maximum torque has a value of 114 Nm. But the "engine", which develops more all 99 horses (at the same 6 thousand rpm), and the maximum torque is 127 Nm. The engines are mated with a manual "five-step" - or with a six-speed robotic i-SHIFT (only 1.34-liter is available). Not to be confused with Volkswagen's DSG, the Honda Jazz has a conventional single-clutch transmission. The auto electronic device is regulated by hydraulic switching drives, and it functions both in the "coercion" mode (buttons on the steering wheel, as well as the lever on the center console), and in automatic mode. More detailed information on the management of electronics is described in the manual for the device, maintenance and repair of the car.

The chassis has a standard arrangement typical for passenger cars of this class: a McPherson suspension is installed in front, and a trailing arm at the rear. Even 40 years ago, a wide variety of design solutions for the device and repair of Honda Jazz cars were used, and since then everything has been reduced to a standard set ... Transverse stabilizers, coil springs, 175 / 65R rubber, 15-inch wheels. The "gear-rack" steering unit, which has an electric servo booster, disc brakes "in a circle" with EBD, ABS and other electronics. In general, there are practically no problems with hodovka, occasionally minor repairs occur.

The interior of the Honda Jazz car is also well equipped, but there is no air conditioning in the basic configuration. Interior design: seat belt pretensioners, front side airbags and central door locking. You can also note the front power windows, power side mirrors and other positions. For a surcharge, you can install steering wheel tilt adjustment, climate control, leather upholstery, sunroof, reversing sensor, navigation - and much more. Everyone chooses a complete set based on their financial capabilities.

The volume of the luggage compartment of a Honda Jazz car is small: when passengers are fully seated, only about 380 liters.However, when the rear seats are folded down, the capacity reaches 885 liters.

Weighing from 1125 kg, the Honda Jazz even with the smaller of the motors and the "handle" can accelerate from zero to "hundreds" in about 12.6 seconds. The maximum speed is 177 km / h, the average fuel consumption is 5.3 liters per 100 km. And with a 1.34-liter "four" car Honda Jazz (with a curb weight of 1150 kg) accelerates to "hundreds" in just 11.4 seconds. The maximum speed is 182 km / h, the average consumption becomes 5.4 liters per 100 km.

• Dollar - 58.85 rubles.
• Euro - 62.68 rubles.
