1. Some old cars have. 2. When you pull the knob, the other end of the cable connect to Carb will operate a butterfly kind of a flap and close the air intake, which will let more petrol sucks through intake manipol and help to ignite fast at cold start.

If you don't have outside visibility of coolant leaks, then it should be the head gasket leaking coolant in to combustion chamber where it turns out to be steam and goes out from tail pipe. First takeoff radiator cap and let the car to run until operating temperature and see you get air bubbles out (Rev a bit about 3000RPM). If you don't get any bubbles and only coolant overflowing then there will be no leaks on to combustion chamber. The next you could do is take the dipstick out (better to collect and inspect drained out oil from sump) and see if you get any white mix on it (When water mixed with oil it get whitish). Please post your observations.

Best you call the and check what is the best way of doing. I know these numbers are always busy, but there are quite a few number and keep try one after the other and you will get through (That's how I catch somebody to talk).

Once I saw a Celerio with Reg. no CAE-**** floor board has start rusting, think the metal is thin and low quality comparing to a Jap car. No experience with Picanto, so cannot comment on it, but look wise it's a nice car.

I talked to them on two occasions for two different jobs and each time they have quoted nearly the same cost that will go to get the entire panel repainted. when I told them the cost is too high for a touch up, they claim that after the touch up done need to apply a lacquer cote for the full panel and that's why the cost is high. I don't see any point of getting touch up done if it's cost you the same amount of repainting the panel. So I DIY both jobs which was about 80% success.

Yes I tried this acceleration method. 1. Parked a well carpeted road about 10 at night coz of less vehicles on road. 2. Switch off all electrical including door light, removed one battery terminal and kept for like 20mins. 3. Reconnected, started the Car and let the radiator fan kicks up. 4. Shut the engine and restarted. 5. Switch on headlight, press the break paddle and shift to D (Before shift make sure the road is clear) 6. Let the car move on and gradually accelerate until it reach 60Kmph. 7. Take leg off from accelerator and let the car itself to slow down by the engine brake. (Repeat step 6 and 7 for 2-3 times) 8. Drive home and let the it cool down. Had a trial run on next day, D and R vibration in cold start was still remaining, but after first 2-3Kms it disappeared and the acceleration feels better than earlier. I tested the same again couple of other cold starts and it was the same result. What I cannot understand is that why this has not applied to cold start but working after initial kilometers.

Yah.. I'm planing to tryout on weekend. Will update the status..

The link I was referring. http://www.hondafitjazz.com/manual/A00/HTML/02/SAA2E02E15117656881BBAT00.HTML

Yes the battery been replaced to install gearbox mount without giving outside power. About 200kms back Now the total is 117000kms.

Guys, as per my findings on internet and below link, this vibration also can come if the Battery terminal removed and reconnected (ECU gets reset). What happen is that the memory related to CVT starter clutch engagement is being erased and need to reprogram to engage at the correct position. This mis engagement also could lead to the experience what PerfMad and myself are suffering. Rather repair/replace the gear box I'm looking for other possible alternatives to get this matter sorted. If anyone done this before by them self of by agents, please comment with their findings and experience before and after the calibration.

Yah it's the same one.

Well, in idle with or without A/C I don't get any vibration at any RPM (Doesn't matter the engine is hot or cold). Soon after I engage to D or R, it give a jerk and start vibrating the whole car. Done a tune up recently with changing all 8 spark plugs, Injector/throttle body cleaning and etc... Checked engine mounts and all were good except gearbox side, which I have changed with a brand new. So the final conclusion was CVT where this module is known to that. Any other possibility that you see? apart CVT.

Hi Honda experts Found this on Internet while finding a solution to my CVT vibration. Has anybody done this before? There are couple of way of doing the same, if someone have done, please mention the steps as well. Looks like this is the remedy for the jerk/vibration on D or R while brake pressed. Thanks

How do you feel when the car is not running and on idle.

Today I went to an electrician, once removing the fan assembly, the root cause was not with the bearing, somebody has repaired the motor earlier and the makabass has not properly tighten the nut that fan blade fix in to the motor's armature shaft. since there was play, it has developed by time and causing a vibration when running. It was not in a condition to tight up as the thread have gone halfway, and the motor also giving some noise when rotating (Could be due to earlier repair). So decided to replace with a recon one. Visited several recon shops to find the exact match and ended up in T*aI*yo Mount lavinia who quoted Rs. 2,900-/ which was damn reasonable as other places quoted from 4,500 to 3,000. Labour cost was Rs. 1,000/- which was way too high for the job as it was just a simple removal, which even my self could manage at home. Now there is no vibration when fan running and I would here that nice wind waving noise.... which is so nice to hear. Thanks guys for prompt reply's and guidance given.

Yah you too were correct! missed to MultiQuote machan.. Sure will PM you.

Yesterday I check and it exactly what you told. when I hold the two wings and shake that had a little play. So I guess the internal bearing have gone. Any Idea on reaping place for this ? If repairing not possible, is that motor replacement possible rather whole thing? and rough cost for a new one.

117,000KM It is FIT Aria 7 speed CVT Triptronic.

This is the exact view of it. Fans directly connected and no mounts on it, but radiator has 4 mounts to fix to engine bay. http://autoparts.beforward.jp/detail/Cooling-Components/Radiators/PASKU211672/

As I can remember no blade was missing. What I also guess is a missing or damaged rubber mount.

Not really, same thing happens when car not running too. No RPM relationship too. It is just that I feel the vibration when Radiator fan start running and goes away when it stops.

Like beige interior than black as it rich looking and pleasant to see specially on a family car. But if it is a sport car, obviously black or other dark color.

Hi Experts Need advice on a small thing. Today on my way home I observed I get a vibration on my Steering wheel, seat and legs when A/C Fan kicks up, initially I thought it's something to do with A/C, but to trace the issue I drive few Kms without A/C and found that same happens when radiator fan start running. So what makes vibration is the radiator which both fans are fixed. Can I know how the radiator connects to the car body? is it nut/bolt or does that has rubber mounts like engine mounts? Whats the best approach to find the root cause? Anyone of you ever experienced similar situation? Thanks in advance.

I think the problem is OK now and the root cause for the terrible vibration looks like loosen ground wire. But there is a slight vibration comes and goes when I put to D or R soon after the start (which is not that terrible) and I think it is common with this module (Correct me if I'm wrong). Once warmup it is a perfect drive and no more vibration or the noises. Thanks you all for the continues advises and support.

Hi all A strange thing happened yesterday, when I start the car after 2 days. Instead of cranking the starter motor, my A/C blower start running all of a sudden while the A/C was in off position (I know this is very strange to hear even) tried couple of times, checked fuses and removed battery terminal and reconnected. Still no luck and I was so down with the situation. After couple of calls I managed to get through to mechanic who worked for agents and now running his own workshop. when I call him luckily he was on his way home and closer to my place. When he comes and when I tell the problem the first thing he did was put the key and checked for Dash indicators and said the ground line is loose and asked me have I done anything and I said I only removed the positive line from battery. He rechecked the terminals and all were OK. Then he put his hand under the throttle body and asked me to On the key and see if Check engine light coming while pressing something, yes the light came up. His conclusion was that there is a Ground line loose connection and need to tight it up, I have given set of required tools to him and he removed air filter assay and tighten up two loosen Grounding bolts, one was on engine block and other was on body (I saw the body one was sparking when revving) switch off and started couple of times and there were no issue and he re fixed everything properly. His explanation about the symptom was that some of the electrical parts was not receiving power due to loosen connection and it complete the circuit half away from somewhere else and caused to run the blower fan instead of running starter motor. You don't believe the miracle happens after that, The cold start vibration I used to get has totally disappeared and the driving is smooth like butter now!!!! I had only chance to run only yesterday and need further testing on today and weekend to verify the same as I don't know that this is temperately or due to something else. Will keep post the status.
