Ohh... I wasn't aware if there was anything called Half Bumper Painting. My SA always talks about full bumper painting, probably It may be due to the fact that whole of my bumper has little scratches. ![[;)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Wink.gif "Wink [;)]")
Honda Brio Problems & Solutions
- Thread Starter manish09
- Start date
Hi all,
I bought the Honda Brio 2 years back. I have not been getting very good FE figures from the start. But off late it has decreased even more. In normal traffic I get an FE of about 8-8.5 with AC on. I took it to the service center but they did not provide me any solution. Instead, the CRM said that FE depends on many conditions and rode me off even though I fought a lot with him.
Please suggest what should I do now?

I did few things which have resolved the issue.
Like most of u have said, format the drive. Did it!!!
Now is the tricky part, its important to understand how the system reads the files. Say I have the formatted fresh drive, now I place few .mp3 files on it from my system which will look like
(If you are placing the files on /root)
1. song1.mp3
2. song2.mp3... so on an so forth
now I copy the second set of files which will be like
1. song3.mp3
2. song4.mp3.... now notice both the set it has same numbering. The system is not smart enough to fix this of its own and thats when it throws the error(In my case). So with my little knowledge of systems I removed the numbering and left it with the name only. It works like a charm!!!

if it is Bumper to Bumper Traffic my Brio too gives Horrible FE but never such low . My Average has been 13.5 kmpl in City Driving , 15.5kmpl for Mix riding and Total Highway Riding 17 KMPL , but they are many Brio Owners have claimed Better FE Figure then mine . I Remember once i asked Honda Service to look into it , They checked Senors in engine and said all was good and then asked me to keep under 2000RPM under in which ever Gear i drive . i am doing it but i donot see any increase .
All above FE figures are without AC usage .

. I was also told that due to impact they was small tear from inside in the bumper which also has been taken care of . Rattling noise coming from dashboard was also solved by putting some Foam in .Attachments

You are quoting these FE figures from the display (trip/totalrun/fe) in the car or you tested FE in some other ways? I am also getting around 12-14 in city and about 18 on highways for my Brio with AC on. The service centre guys told me the actual FE will always be better than what it appears in the display. Is it true? [thinking]
Easier way to calculate is Tank full method. Dont trust the display figures.
Thanks Farhaan. Have anyone installed aftermarket 12V sockets in Brio? Mine is EMT variant which doesn't have a factory fitted one. Can someone share the photos (both Aftermarket and Honda installed) please?
Hi, I do have installed 12v socket for my Brio few months back after its manufacturer warranty expired and extended warranty kicks in. I am not sure how much it effects the warranty. The seller installed it by connecting its wire directly to the audio system wires. This same guy has installed my audio system too. I would have preferred a direct connection from fuse box but didn't had much say. He charged some 250-300 bucks and installed it. The make was minda, Here's the link Buy Minda Car Cigarette Lighter Online | Best Prices in India: Rediff Shopping
Though these days we are getting directly usb out from 12 v socket.

I can not say that actual FE is always better than display FE but yes, first time when I checked display FE with actual FE, this was true i.e. actual FE at 14 kmpl (city use that too in Delhi, AC on) was better than display FE which shown around 13 kmpl. I checked the actual FE with tankful method.
I have observed that slightly faster acceleration affects FE quite negatively. Plus, usual things like air pressure, petrol pump's selection etc are also responsible for FE.

Not display figures they are usually high like 15 + in City . but is around 13-14
I have done it .

I got at the same place but little up and precisely in center. I tried to install it in such a way and my 2 year boy can't see and fiddle with it... :)
Anyone updated the horn for EMT/EXMT as they come with single horn?
I want to update the horn but read somewhere that we need to update the fuse too in fusebox, If we are just updating the horn it might blow up the fuse.
