  • Secondhand purchase 2004 Honda Jazz CVT – Questions

    Hello, I’m interested in a used Honda Jazz 1.4 CVT year 2004. with 68,000 km I’ve come across the following familiar problems myself: – e.g. the CVT/Rubbel/Drivingrubbing – AGR/Exhaust recirculation valve known problems – water in the footroom at the back or in the suitcase area because roof seams to the trunk partly leak Are there other frequently occurring abnormalities? How does this model look like with the service intervals? Is there a maintenance plan in the net somewhere where you can see what needs to be done when? When often? For example, every 10,000 km or 12 months How expensive? Transmission (CVT) Oil replacement intervals? I have read: The first time at 80.000 km or 5 years later every 4 years Is that true? Are there tooth belt replacement intervals with the vehicle model? Set valves? Generally, where have a focus on it? Geared (CVT) Oil – Here I have read the initially factory-side a non-standing oil was used. However, this was not done by a return call?

  • Parking accident with difficult settlement shortly before the end of the lease

    Hello, I had a parking accident last week. I had someone parked back into the driver’s side of my Audi (private leasing)! While I was driving the road between the parking lots. Guilt question in my opinion absolutely undisputed due to common jurisprudence. It is slight scratches on driver’s door, fenders and front apron, which were only visible the next day in daylight. On Monday I have an appointment at the Audi workshop, where the damage is looked at and counted. Unfortunately, the accident opponent absolutely does not see his sole fault. He now wants to prohibit his KFZ liability to regulate the damage and let it happen due to existing legal protection insurance. Fun Fact: but at the same time he offered me to have the scratches on his costs privately with his paintr buddy. My problem now is that the vehicle goes back to Audi in three weeks and I would have liked to repair the matter until then, otherwise I will get back the invoice for the damage (plus depreciation probably). If one of you experiences with accidents short of unrepentantness will see how you clearly regulate the chances due to make me

  • Attached with the jazz 🙁

    Hello together, my wife is yesterday after her description probably set up with her jazz back or “somewhere against”. From below it looks quite badly scratched (see photos). Visually this would of course not matter from below, but I ask myself 1) what exactly is damaged there? “Only” an underbody protection or is there the tank or something? I can not estimate this as relatively ignorant unfortunately. 2) What do you do? Especially now in the winter time could there be problems due to all the dirt, salts etc. on the ground? Vg, Michael

  • Smoke off / under the engine compartment in cold condition

    Hello municipality, my XC90 D5, Ez 12.2006, 185 Ps, 251,000 KM, automatic, makes the following problem: When starting in the cold state he smokes heavily under the engine room for about 30 seconds. If I have programmed the heater and start it, then it smokes violently for a few seconds. – Heating performance not even lukewarm. – Heating last week I had overtaken for 1,000,-€ – Heat exchanger I got today. Is installed after the holidays could then also the environmentally harmful and unpleasant smoke formation be finished? Many thanks for your tips in advance. Best regards from the Badischer, Volker

  • Ventilation / heating / actuators defective?!

    Hello, my moose doesn’t get really warm anymore. Even after a long drive only lukewarm air flows out of the nozzles. I have read a lot now and shut out the heat exchanger. The thermostat is also fine. It seems to me that it is more likely to lie on the actuators, because I hear a short surrehen every 4 seconds (about 0.5 seconds each) as if the actuators want to adjust. It sounds like they somehow sit tight and don’t find the position or something like that. Do I turn the heater once on cold and then on warm I hear a longer surrehen (adjust) and the short adjustment noises are temporarily gone, but it doesn’t get warm. Does one of you have tips? I read you can recalibrate the actuators. Does there have any experience? Thank you and greeting

  • No warranty on clutch? (also in this case…?)

    Hi friends, I think I’m stuck in a small trap. On wear parts there is no warranty that’s already clear to me… Now to my situation: I picked up my Citroen Saxo today which I tried on Monday. Was also everything ok with the test drive only exhaust and brakes faulted this was then also made. The problem with the whole story is that the car when I drove it was on reserve and the seller told me not to chase it so much. I took that of course (as much as I would have kicked it either way or not with a cold engine). Today after the purchase I refueled the car then three quarters of a hour carefully driven and then I wanted to pull the gears up a little bit more and noticed from about 4000 turns that the clutch slips! Now that’s such a thing. Clutch is no wear but how could I have come to this error in my case? I still couldn’t drive the car with empty tank at upper speeds and with bad luck to stay at the next corner. I don’t think that’s what the clutch is going on?

  • ZF-Partner does not provide any service on its own transmission. Reason: installed in the Phaeton!

    Hello dear Phaeton drivers, I had asked the nearest ZF partner for a service for my gearbox (GP3) and wondered why they didn’t answer me, so I sent all the necessary information with me. I would like to copy the course here and then I’m curious about your reactions: first my request:Dear ladies and gentlemen, please give me your price and your best recommendation for the necessary effort for a transmission oil change on my Phaeton GP3, Fzg. note. Lt this rep.-histo of VW has not been renewed since EZL. KM-Stand now 101000km. With kind regards then came back:Dear Mr. Xxxxxx, unfortunately I can’t make you an offer for a transmission service for your vehicle, because in the past problems have occurred again after an oil change or a flushing of your vehicle. And now? Who knows something about explicit problems related to our beautiful vehicle?

  • Semi-defected clock

    To the experts here in the forum in my Phaeton 3.2 (241 PS) B. 04-2002 the clock in the A. board no longer changes. After the last winter time change I see under Settings / Time the correct time indication in the monitor/Infotaiment – (by GPS the exact time is displayed) but after pressing the button “Apply” unfortunately nothing in the clock above the monitor (A.Brett) – now unfortunately I see only the old summer time and I do not want to wait until the next change in the spring – by the way, the light is in the also defective – but with that one could still live. So the clock (in the A.Brett) continues to run in the Prinip my VW factory place does not know how to repair the error of the “non-current time acquisition”. They do not trust in the infotainment system – because from there the error could come from then probably. So the cost of the exchange of an entire Plantine will also not be in any proportion by the time correctly can someone do here an idea that you can still do it in advance – the idea of a manual?
