Honda Brio Problems & Solutions

WooWW!! Sudeep, How much mileage you are getting in city drive and on highway. Have you checked the accuracy of MID w.r.t. fuel efficiency.

I am getting around 14-15 without A.C. But i feel i can get more because i get stuck in between most of the times as i am newbie in driving.

Mileage totally depends upon your driving style & my AC is always on.
14-15 is pretty good and this should improve gradually after the run in period.

great bro !!
A small question here, how does the car steering feel at that speed ?? Is the car stable at that speed > 120 ??

It was amazing, I still remember how planted the car felt in high speeds!

There were mild vibrations while nearing 140, but that was within acceptable limits.

Hi guys,

I wanted to know if the under body coating is required/necessory in B'lore weather condions?. My Brio has already bottmed twice on highways thanks to speed breakers, Lesson learnt from the incident +2psi all the time.

So, wanted to have an opinion. I am considering to visit 3M for it.

For Bangalore weather it is not required but under body coating helps in reducing cabin noise when small stones hits under body . it's not much Honda charged me 3500 but 3M will be cheaper i Guess .

I feel you don't really need it here in bangalore. Underbody coating would be rather more than useful in coastal areas.

Did you use 29 and 26 psi ?

Brio owners whats is ideal PSi for Brio car tyres ? and Does Nitrogen filling helps in Fe or Handling ?

fill 2psi more than the prescribed limit, i usually fill 30 in all 4.

Yeah the dealer maintained 28F and 26R for me after first servicing. But now i am keeping 32F and 30R. Read somewhere a higher PSI will give you a better milage.

Yeah for B'lore weather the under body might not be necessory but i am more worried about the scracthes that have occurred at the bottom(Rusting)...thinking of taking it to 3M to be on a safer side.

Nitrogen filling only helps in "maintaining" your car tyre psi pressure for a much longer time. Not sure on this but have heard that 32psi of nitrogen filling will increase your fe by 5%. correct me if i am wrong.

I had asked Service Guys , they told higher PSI will lead to better handling but lower FE , Recommended PSI will be good FE but Drivable Handling

 

[jarpickle]

Higher PSI will lead to responsive steering and better FE but the ride quality will be bumpy.

i am sticking with 29F and 26R , Strange thing happened yesterday , will like to take feedback from Brio owners

I was taking reverse on elevation , coming down , to move car to my left side , i turned it and i wanted to move back up i put the car in first but car didn't move at all , i put car back in neutral and again put in first but still car didn't move , later i again aligned the steering straight only then car moved forward , is any one noticed this did i do any thing wrong ?
