Honda Brio Problems & Solutions

[82prasad]

Prasad, get it tested while they wash your car . You dont have to wait for Meteorological Department to predict rains on the day of your service.

Sure Ill check with them during first service.

I guess the stock head lights in BRIO arnt that powerful. My old santro had better headlights. Anyone who has changed the stock headlights can please provide suggestions.

Mileage on Honda Brio VX AT

Its been 4 months of driving the Automatic. While I love the handling and ease of driving in the Mumbai traffic Im very much concerned about the mileage showing up on my odo. With 80% of the time the ECO indicator lighted up Im still low on mileage of 5.3 to 8.3 kml.

what could be going wrong? Fellow automatic owners please do share the mileage that you been getting and how do i improve my readings.

Hi, I am afraid you can't does much with rainy season. However, a quick tip to follow is to maintain neutral temperature in cabin wrt the outside. Try to observe any dewy drops in the glass sections. You need to switch on and off the ac with circulation so as to maintain the neutral temperature. If after use of ac the cabin seems more chilling than the outside teperatyire, switch off the ac for few minutes with the blower on. Then increase the ac temperature by turning the switch towards a warmer position anc run the ac on. This will bring in better visibility at the glass sections. Do the opposite when inside temp iks more than the outside one.
Whenever there is a change in temperature the dew will start settling in the glass sectins.the trick is to maintgain the neutrality.

It's looks effective, any idea from where I can buy it.

Online search gave me a hit on ebay.in where I can buy it in for 1k (imported) but that's too much.

 

[bReeze AkA brIo]

^^ Yes, it is available on ebay, but costs a bomb.

But i wonder if it would be effective enough for the kind of rain we have in our country. The demo shows spraying water, which would be like rain drizzling.


However, the below product, i read on some websites with user reviews from West, saying they werent effective, and didnt last long either. Came / fell off after a couple of 100kms .

Definitely need to check some effective solution for side mirrors. Smudges too much with heavy downpour.

I showed it to Honda Service Guys , he did something and got it of . so Now No issues . Honda also did very good job on my front bumper painting which had got some scratches due to my misadventure . they even did touch up to other side of the bumper too . i paid 1850 + Tax for Half Bumper painting .
