Not using Honda Jazz for many days? What all precautions to be taken?


Lock down precautions

In these unprecedented times, hope everyone is following social distancing guidelines and more importantly not stepping outside the home unless dire necessary. Please do not take COVID-19 for granted and assume it is ok to go down for a walk.

Take care of your vehicles in these times :
1. Start your vehicle once a week for 4-5 mins to avoid battery discharge.
2. Disconnect all possible accessories from USB and 12v/cigarette socket and ones connected to battery directly.
3. Park vehicles indoor. If not possible make sure to dust them regularly.
4. Open engine bay and make sure no rodents are staying there
5. Clean interiors and run fan to clean interior air. Place cotton swabs with peppermint or tea tree oils to keep air odor free.
6. Take vehicles off hand brake and keep them in 1st gear or Park mode (automatic vehicles). Best would be to keep in Neutral (manual) and use wood block or bricks to stop vehicle roll. Reason : Engaging the handbrake over an extended period can result in the brake pads getting stuck to the discs or drums. Needless to say, if this happens, you'll be in some trouble the next time you drive the car.
7. Move vehicle forward and rear once a while to make sure tyres and coils are healthy.

Wheel balancing for Jazz - recommendations


Wheel balancing for Jazz - recommendations

I usually hear people doing wheel balancing from external vendors. But remember the wheel balancing & alignment  is not just adjusting wheel based on road surface. this include adjustments based on the steering levels etc. And Honda has a  balancing mechanism based on the automated system. So recommended is doing it in Honda service centers.


1st paid service Honda Jazz recommendation

1st year paid service after 9,000kms. How much should this cost me approximately.?

It varies from 6500 to 9000 in Bangalore depending on the things included. If you opt for wheel alignment and balancing usually it goes around 8 to 9 thousands

After 1 year paid service of Honda jazz, what should be the frequency of next service?

Recommended is 6 months or 10,000 kilometers

Showroom Service and Genuine Spare parts - Facts.

Guys, I am going to narrate an incident here which may cause some pain for all of us.

We all understand showroom service is best and we get all genuine parts there. Is this 100 % true? Recently I got to know that parts may be genuine but there are some culprits who can do bad for us.



Few days back I was talking to a friend who has a car from brand name starts with S. To avoid any issues and to not give pain for that brand guys, I dont want to disclose the brand name completely(I confirm this is not Honda). But remember, it can happen with any brands.

He mentioned one of his car spare part related to exhaust was gone 90% and it costs around 13,000 Rs in Authorised service centre. My friend had a known service person in Mysore based showroom and the service guy told, sir you pay me 500, I will replace one of the other cars spare while servicing and fix it for you. Friend agreed for that and he got it fixed for 500 bribe.

An unfortunate guy need to fix the same part in few kilometers now.

Think, this is completely not in our hand and unless we dont inspect each part daily, we cannot guarantee anything. So from next time if service guy asks to replace something, ensure to collect more details, and average duration or kilometers of that spare. We dont have much choices here.

Known issues in All New Jazz (Honda ANJ)


1) Fogging on windscreen during rain + AC

Very tough to fix it. After usage of AC, you need to increase temperature and blow air towards glass, so that the vapors get away. This is one of the rare issue with other vehicle and seems like it happens in Jazz due to the aero dynamic body shape.


2) Pick up/ power issue on hills.

No fix for this. Jazz in all works with less power till rpm is 2000. So ove
r taking other vehicle in hurry/ easy driving on hills are bit tougher with Jazz.

3) Mileage:

Even though the company boasts big mileage, it actually doesnt seems like. Mileage gets improved after some service but not in a very big way.

4)Low quality Tyre:

The tyre provided with brand new Jazz is of average quality. It can break or edges can be cut any time. Also you cannot permanently use the spare tyre, bcz the diameter is of different size.



5) Low ground clearance:

This is known that majority of the humps are touching the Jazz under body. So need to be bit careful here.

Clean,coating & care ANJ


Teflon coating for ANJ, is it necessary for place like Mumbai which is humid mostly ?

What other efforts can be taken to protect paint when we have open parking and worried about car paint as most of time car is in open.

Better to get Teflon coating along with under body rust protection. once the car starts to rust, thats the end of it
Some people also suggest wax based polish like Meguires.

Which is the best Polish and wax for jazz?
Meguires Polish and Formula 1 wax

Clean & care
3m car shampoo and 3m glass cleaner are recommended

Petrol Tank capacity

Hows the Jazz tank capacity once it starts showing empty warning?

Drove Jazz 65kms after it was showing RANGE zero. The Avg display was 12.6 kmpl.It made space for 38ltrs in tank to reach full ( Auto cut off from Nozzle). So dont worry when ur Jazz is at RANGE Zero. U have good amount of fuel to reach the next fuel station.

Cost of ANJ Wiper

The rubber blades of the front wiper have cuts in them and the rubber strip has started to fall apart. I enquired at Honda , they are quoting 900Rs plus labour.

Mileage - HONDA Jazz

Why is the mileage so less in Jazz?
It depends on your driving skills. Minimum you will get 15 KMPL. I get 15 to 18 in city depending upon traffic.

Some getting 11.5 to 12.5 kmpl and max 13.5kmpl... In Highyway 2 lane traffic I got max of 17kmpl.... On Jazz CVT petrol.
