  1. thanks for the reply guys
  2. Dear All I tried to search the forum but most of them are about Honda CVT gear Boxes Infact the issue is with Borther's Car , corolla Axio 2007 model , X grade It has started some roarding sound and a avibration and when they visited a garage where they do the running repairs they ahve mentioned that the issue was in the gear box and has started reparing the gear box I am not sure whther they are capable of repairing CVT gear Box later they have mentioned that it is a bearing in the gear box that has caused the problems and has looked for bearings from reconditioned and also from agents. No luck and they have tried to repair the bearing. still no luck and the car is at the garage for about 2 weeks now Do any one of you have any comments ? Do you know any place to look for a second hand ( reconditioned) CVT gear BOX or a good place to do a repair thanks a alot Mike

    Ac Fan

    I have heard lot of A/C guys are telling that if you do not use your AC frequently that you are likely to dust in the A/C system which will eventually lead to A/C Gas leakages and shorten Cooler life- Dont know how much is true though Also With all Due respect to HarshaSenadhir let me add the following line The bottom line is that for all the electronics to work there should be electrical current which is nothing other than the movement of electrons. For the electrons to be in motion they should be in the so called " valance band" and to jump to the valance band you need some form of energy. As per Newtonian physics ( which is applicable to our general world since we dont engage in activities close to the speed of light) energy cannot be destroyed or created but it can be transferred to another form. In your car case when an electronic device is powered it get the electrical energy from the Alternator ( or Dianamo) and alternator get it electricity generated from the energy of motion by the attached pully which in most cases is delivered to the pully by the transmission Belt and the source of that is the motion of the engine. Engine get the energy from burning the fuel ( which leads you to consume more fuel) and ultimately petroleum ( fuel) get the energy from the our SUN by the process of transferring to the raw ,petroleum for thousand of years. In other terms you are using the energy of the Sun to on your electronic device Also note that in the transformation phase ( i.e from sun energy to the petroleum to engine etc..) there is a much wastage and efficiencies are not that good P:S : I did not mention the above to show off myself and humbly put the above to show ( or probably ) remind the fundamentals . Im sure every one inluding Harsha knows this stuff ( may be better than me) and just put so that any one can analyze these wonders of the nature cheers Mike

  8. Hi Ripper Thank you I think issue is not in the RPM meter. infact I dont know the issue may be it is the injector pump ( car is a diesel) so in that case is there any good mechanic who can look in to it ? thaks \ PS: Due to some error on my side ( i hope) the post has been triplicated in the forum)

  17. Dear Ruwan Sorry for poking you after almost two years after the original thread. Can u share your overall expereince with FIT aria or could you give me any contact of yours to drop a mail or give a call I am looking to buy a FIT ARIA but little bit worried thanks mike
  18. Hi Guys Thank you for the feed back Currently I have a Toyota 121 Luxel. So compared to toyota do u have any idea about the maintenance and the whether the parts are expensive or not ( i am trying to change the vehicles due to financial challanges) thanks Indika
  19. Hi I understand that there were some discussion on this forum on the FIT ARIA I need to know the experience form the ppl who uses Honda FIT ARIA and whether there are any known vulnerabilities ? also what else should be looked before buying thanks Mike
  20. Dear Car Maniac Is it Triptronic Gears or some thing similar to that. My 122 has the option to shift to the third gear while on the " D" and I guess that is not Triptronic or is there any models with Triptonic Gears in the 122 range ? thanks Indika
  21. I also have the same model. but the year is 2002 as of Ruslan. most of the things were in the Ruslans reply Purchased it about year ago at 2.8 M. well I saw couple of them in news papers in 1-2 months span in the same range or in a slightly higher range. So hope the second hand market would be ok ( Pls comment - if any one knows much details) well about the driving experience. It is superb and it got lot of extra like factory fitted tweeters , woofers, tyre pressure sensor etc.. and my one is now 100,000+ and is doing well so far. Also i get a good fuel consumption like 11-12km/l in the mix traffic conditions.outstations I get 15+. It is comfortable too. I also had to change the throttle body gasket ( thanks Ruslan for the advices) I do not see any negative point apart from the price but lets hear what others have to say cheers
