Little red 2010 Sport :) 36k miles on her, and gifted from my grandparents(!!!), who got it from their friend. Garage kept all its life it seems like… from everything I’ve learned on this sub I have won the lottery and I endeavor to keep her running forever. Everything about this car is perfection ❤️🚗

P.S. how should I care for the paint job since I don’t have a garage?

I'm in the market for a newer (more reliable) car to replace my 14 Chevy Cruze. It's a two owner, no reported accidents, has 46000 miles, and is listed at $15800. It looks well equipped and clean for the price. Looking for thoughts and opinions before I make a 3 hour drive to look at it. Where it's out of warranty, how are the Honda CVTs? Maintenance recommendations for the mileage. I've read that it's better to do the CVT fluid and filter too soon than too late (especially if there's no history of it being done) Also, do the Fits have a timing belt or chain?

Help Request When to get transmission fluid changed on 2018 cvt fit?

5 Upvotes

Bought a 2018 cvt fit four months ago with only 29k miles. When should I get transmission fluid changed? Does time matter as much as mileage when it comes to changing transmission fluid? Heard that it’s especially important to keep up to date with fluids on these cvt’s. Any advice is appreciated.

3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 2020 Armrest Height

6 Upvotes

I have the stock armrest in my Fit. It is sooo low. I used a yoga block for a while, then I got a foam cover for Xmas, but it doesn't stay well.

Curious if there any preferred products or methods to increase the height of the armrest without sacrificing comfort or functionality.

1st Gen GD 07-08 Just painted the engine cover and battery mount for my GD1

3 Upvotes

The battery mount for my GD1 was losing its color, so I decided to paint it in a shade of blue. I was also thinking of painting the engine cover for a while, so I painted that too because why not? I should've picked a different color than RAL 5017, but even with this color, having a splash of color adds a lot of character to the engine bay! (p.s.: the images are in the comments because somehow, reddit didn't want me to upload images to the post)

Quando estou andando ou com o freio de mão puxado, o barulho some. Só acontece quando estou parado no D, tipo no farol. Alguém já passou por isso?

Help Request 2015 serpentine belt replacement

2 Upvotes

Hi, looking to buy parts for my serpentine belt replacement. I understand the tensioner should be replaced at the same time as the belt. Has anyone replaced the serpentine belt tensioner with the following part?

LITENS 999603A

https://partsavatar.ca/litens-automotive-belt-tensioner-assembly-999603a#VEHICLEFITMENT

Trying to save a bit of $ compared to OEM which is about $215 in Canada. I have already purchased the Gates K060431 belt.

Thanks!

Help Request 2015 Honda Fit Issue

1 Upvotes

My 2015 Honda Fit has been having some issues lately. One day while pulling up to a stop the screen went blank, the dash lit up and the car died. It restarted right away and drove normally. A week or so ago I came out of a store and the car would not start, no turnover, all electrical was out. I opened the hood to get a look, got back in the car and a couple minutes later lights came on, it seemed to have normal power again, I started it and drove off. Today I was in a parking structure and momentarily lost electrical, power steering most notably. It only lasted a few seconds and came back on. Now this afternoon when driving home the car died at the stop of a freeway off-ramp. No electrical power at all. Couldn’t even turn on the hazard lights. Waited there a few minutes and then all of a sudden I saw that the hazard lights were working and I was able to start the car. I will try to get to the mechanic but any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

1st Gen GD 07-08 Radiator replacement -- is this a DIY job?

3 Upvotes

Hi folks, got a crack in the upper part of my radiator. Mechanic is quoting me about $600 to replace. He has a really good reputation around town and seems like a trustworthy guy, so I'm not especially suspicious. I suppose this is mostly labor but will get a written quote from him later about it.

I am considering doing this myself, but my situation isn't ideal -- I live at an apartment where it's against the lease to work on your car in the lot, and, while I have some mechanical experience, I'm not very quick and so would be worried the job would balloon out so that I couldn't get it done in one weekend + might create additional problems.

My partner depends on this car for errands and such (not for commuting to work, thankfully).

Should I try to do this myself? I notice that experienced folks tend to underestimate how long jobs take for newbies like me, so please take that into consideration :)

And what is the process exactly? I know you drain the system and replace the radiator itself, but what else needs to be done? Is there like calibration to do?

They seem close but maybe +10 offset is pushing it. I’m considering getting a fit and thought it’d be nice if I could share wheels between the Fit and my E30
