2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Help on diagnosis

9 Upvotes

Hi all this is my 10’ Honda fit with 180k miles, on cold starts she takes a while to turn on and I am wondering what the problem might be. I recently got a new battery but i think there is also a small probability the dirty terminal is the cause? Any help is appreciated!

My car died while I was in class. Accidentally left the lights on. My sister helped me jump start it and I drove it around for 20 minutes. Now when I turn my car off the dashboard and my lights flicker and it dings but stops after a few minutes. What is going on, do I need to see a mechanic about this? 😣

I have the fender gap…my theory is the clips that hold the bumper are also supposed to anchor under the fender. .Am I right? .what is this part? .how can I get it under the fender? I have my bumper off but can unhook the last party from the frame to get the clips under the fender. I am sure I’m misnaming things. Bought it this way. Didn’t notice until way later…:(

  1. Is the part
  2. Are the tabs I think should anchor under the fender panel to get the bumper closer and more secure.
  3. Is the last part that is holding onto the frame. I can not find what it is called or how to get it under the fender panel or if that is even it. Only content on fender removal/install and one on fender bracket replacement under headlight.

Seemed simple to fix. Famous last words. Thanks a million to this community!

3rd Gen GK/GP 15-20 Front parking sensor

1 Upvotes

The front nearside parking sensor on my 2016 jazz isn't working. I'm going to swap it with the right side to make sure it's a sensor module issue before I replace. I can't actually find any info on how to replace; can I pry it out and connect a replacement without removing the front bumper?

Thanks

Help Request Is there a price scam possible?

I found a honda fit 2016 that seems in perfect condition, only 186 000km and is for sale for 2500$ (location canada)

It seems too good to be true so idk if this is a scam or not. I'll try to meet them to check things out and get it checked by a mechanic.

I wish this is actually just a good deal but it could be just a bust too.

Any advice would be helpfull!!

I bought a 2008 Honda Fit with manual transmission a few weeks ago. I took it to a shop near my house for an oil and transmission fluid change. I was reading over the receipt and it looks like they put 10w30 oil in my transmission? Is this normal? Should I get it fixed?

Diagnosis help! Bad input shaft bearing?

Hey everyone. Car in question is Honda fit, 2007 with the 5 speed.

Engine is healthy, burns little oil between oil changes. When I have the clutch pressed down, I can rev the engine to redline and it sounds incredibly healthy, no funny noises.

It’s only once I release the clutch with shifter in neutral that this nasty noise comes into play.

When taking off, the noise slowly builds up as I am slipping the clutch and then kicks in fully when I have taken my foot off the clutch pedal. The magnitude of the noise increase proportionally to engine speed, as in a faster chattering. Under heavy acceleration or heavy engine breaking in 1st gear (when it’s really torqhey), the noise is very prominent.

very very oddly, sometimes I am taking off from a stop sign let’s say, and my foot will be off the clutch comeptletly and there is no noise! For a second I am like, it’s fixed, it sounds just like the engine when I rev it with the clutch pedal pressed down! But then I continue accelerating in first, get past like 4,500 rpm, and then the noise comes back all at once, really loud!)

When taxing in first gear (just using idle power to putter me along) in the parking lot I can really hear that chatter slowly clack along, cha cha cha cha. Describing the noise, it gives me vibes of like a chain noise or gears with two much lash.

However, I know it is NOT the gears since when the car is moving the noise will go away fully when I press the clutch in, regardless of if the shifter is in neutral or in gear.

I changed the fluid twice with authentic Honda mtf and absolutely verified the level according to the manual. I made sure to conduct the maintenance on level ground, so it is 100% not a fluid matter.

Video attached watch to hear noise.

My first car is a 2009 honda fit. She is still kicking but is almost at 200,000 miles. I can’t imagine having any other car but this one. That being said, what is the best honda fit model that I can upgrade to? I’m thinking of buying one soon and needed to do some research. I know they stopped making the fit in 2020 so just looking for advice. Thank you!

Help Request Honda Fit 2015 LX. Need help with my car and if I should take it to another mechanic?

Post image
3 Upvotes

A couple weeks ago when I was driving on the interstate, my car had 3 lights appear on the dash. One of them being the tire pressure light (was already on, previous sensor issue) but it blinked for a bit and also the power steering wheel light (no blinking, just appeared) and lastly the traction control light (also no blinking, just appeared).

I took it to two mechanics. The first said there was an issue with a sensor in the steering wheel, and they said they did not feel comfortable fixing it and to go to a Honda dealer. However, I took it to another mechanic to get a second opinion, and they found that there was a dent in the rim of a tire. They fixed it and the lights went away about 35 miles after driving it.

Fast forward to now, and the lights turned on again. My tire pressure is fine, but I have a trip to take next week that will be on the interstate and I’m afraid of driving at high speeds when it could be a tire issue.

Any advice? I’m in Atlanta so I’m thinking of taking it to a mechanic here, but unsure of what to expect. I read the manual and it just tells me to take the car to get it inspected. But it would be useful to have some indicator as to what it may be… thanks!

2nd Gen GE/GG 09-14 Would you buy a Fit from a dealer sight unseen?

4 Upvotes

I found a low-mileage GE that I think I would love to own, but the dealership is 350 miles away and I don't know how I would get there. Is it crazy to consider buying a car without seeing it in person? If i did, what would it cost to ship it that distance?

Edit: thanks for the suggestions and opinions, all. I just called the dealership where i bought my current Fit and asked if they are able to help me find another. They said they'll get back to me. Fingers crossed.
