My Honda Brio SMT Rallye Red

[darkkid85]

The holder remain as it is, i dont recall changing anything apart from the Relay box and bulbs,

I have been using the 100/90 W with relay setup for 11 months now, so will not be changing anything soon

one of my rear tyres ( not driver side) is losing air slowly but regularly. In a weeks time it comes down to 20 psi or so from 30. seems to be my 1st puncture :(

yup, it was a puncture :(

maybe after 10 years or so i faced this issue of a puncture. I remember while in school my mach 1 used to get punctured very frequently

anyways technology has changed and i remember the good old heat punctures which adored my santro about a decade back. this time the repair wallah traced the nail, took it out, put a bead like thing in the hole and filled air, checked it again and said you are ready to go.

i was like, WTF he told me the bead or whatever he called it expands and sticks to the tyre and thats how tubeless tyres are dealt with these days. Paid him 50 bucks and came back confused. :(

since i was still not sure of the effectiveness of the technique used by that guy, i checked the tyre again for any reduction in air this morning and it was as tight as the rest.

things are really changing very fast :)

Seems reasonable to me, and looks like honda is not ripping us off!!

After my 3rd service, there is an issue with my brio where it does not idle well any more. For ex: i oftn need to use the clutch in 2nd or 3rd gear to prevent the engine from back firing/dying.
Feels more like a desl vehicle at low revs now.

I told the SA about this and he said he needs to look at the car in detail, 4 which i dont have the time. I drive about 62kms a day,so badly need the car

how do we fix this? What cud be causing?

 

[bReeze AkA brIo]

Must be some issue with idling timing. They could tune it up. Try going to HASS on weekends, shouldnt take too much time for them to rectify it, if you drop in by 9.

 

[darkkid85]

Good 2 no, so an idle timing shud sort that out!

i thot it ws an issue after the air filter was replaced(mandatory 4 3rd service), but that looks clean so something to do with idle timing, i guess

any car with 6 month service interval is supposed to perform well. I have covered almost 6900 kms in 18 months and i feel the gears are still notchy as compared to a Hyundai. Agree at low rpm if u downshift the gears, the car sometimes stalls but that is more to do with the excellent mileage they want we guys to enjoy.
I have got used to this but recently Raja was driving my car and twice the car stalled at low rpm.

wrt ur case, could be some bad quality petrol which is not burning properly. And its advisable you get a check up done by sparing some time.

 

[darkkid85]

i dont think its bad quality fuel, i have fueled up 5 times at diff stations and the problem is very much der after 3rd service. Maybe they tinkered with ECU, MAF sensor or air filter, i dunno.

Earlier i could easily coast at 20~25kmph in 3rd gear , now i see that thats not possible and speed gradually comes down to 15~20 on its own!

this has to be sorted, as the car was fine for nealry 21k kms. (@ 22k now!!)

did you complaint about low mileage else why wud they poke the sensors etc.
or maybe it was a case of bad service :(

 

[darkkid85]

no nothing like that, when they did the service, i think they may have mis aligned the MAF sensor or something, i dont no

got the 3rd paid service done. Honda is offering free pick up and drop facility so it saved me a lot of time and a holiday.

Costed me Rs 3646. Gears are butter smooth now. they also removed the rattling sound which sometimes came from the dash board. Also gave me a free dry cleaning of interiors and an awesome wax rubbing. Also did a free paint touch up and covered a few ugly scratches here and there. Its shinning like a new bride now.

added free coupon for tyre alignment which i can avail in the next service.

[nitin_k]

I had done my 3rd paid service at RR Honda and they called to inform me that i won a lucky draw worth Rs 2350 on account of that service. The coupon is for Complimentary Upholstery cleaning worth Rs 2350. Their executive came to my home and delivered the coupon to me which i can redeem in my next service.

Honda does believe in customer delite :)
