  1. Hi All, I own a honda fit gp1 2012 model which has an ODO of 62,000km. Couple of days ago it suddenly started to indicate the check engine light. We did few scans, one even from St#fford M#tors. All scans indicated that there's a malfunction in Oxygen sensor. Stafford recommended to replace it straight away asked me a ridiculous amount to replace. I took it to a different well known garage and did replace both sensors but yet it keeps indicating the check engine light. A scan would still indicate the same error as previous. Then we replaced the Air filter package. Still the check engine light would not go away. Once the error is erased by the scanner it would start to re-appear again in few minutes after engine turned off and started. Garage now suggested to do a Tune up with cleaning all injectors etc.. Has anyone else faced this kind of a issue before? What would be the cause for this. Also to tell you same day this started to appear I got someone to replace a bulb in the front. It was the right side bulb of the hazard warning lights. Apparently the guy has tried a wrong bulb and a fuse went off causing both lights to non functioning. He then somehow put the fuse back on and fixed the lights with the correct bulb. I actually didn't thought of that far of the replacement and causes of it since that was just a changing a bulb. Could this be any where close the reason for the check engine light? Because it came up only after few mins of replacing the bulb. I know that was just changing a bulb and a fuse . But it came only after that. yet the scanner keeps showing O2 sensor as the error.
  2. Guys, Is it ok to use BG 44K http://lexuslanka.com/bg/bg-44k-fuel-system-cleaner for Hybrid vehicles Like Fit GP1. Or is there anything specially for Hybrids. What I understand is hybrid or not Fuel system clear shouldn't be different. Does anybody have any kind of experience before. How is work is it worth. What are the recommended directions to use this. I searched on the net there are so many contradicting opinions.
  3. Thanks buddy. I guess I will be sticking to it. Btw dp you have any idea on the impacts if I change the Audio Setup. When i went through the set up I saw there are some indicators like filter change. Is this more than a typical audo setup where you can just replace.
  4. Hi Guys, Does anyone here knows whether we can change the language of Audio Setup in honda fit gp1. It's Gathers VXM 128VS. I'm curious has anyone done it before or if it's possible. I my self tried this using the Manual and couldn't succeed. There were couple of YouTube videos as well which we can use google translator to find out correct language settings that didn't work as well. If you guys have any experience or knows a place a do so I would be really great full.
  5. Thanks alot. This car has been driven for 51200kms. Yes as per the owner it's not a frequently driven car. These are the only battery related reports i got.
  6. Guys need a small help.. I'm no car expert and I'm trying to buy my very first car so bit cautious that's why posting here. Chosed gp 1 since i felt in love with the look of the car. I'm planning to buy a honda fit gp1 2012 10th anniversary model hybrid car. After negotiations price could be vary between 27.5-28 laks. So after much consideration I brought a guy to inspect the vehicle guy was from Greasemomkey (it was easy as they had a mobile inspection service). Few things I want to get clarified from experts and honda gp1 owners here. At first When the vehicle was breaked in the traffic IMA indicator did not show power transition to hybrid battery. It was still showing fuel engine symbol. but then drive went on further and it started to shift to battery on when stopped in traffic. It was shown in the IMA screen near speed meeter. Inspection guy said this die to car hasn't been driven regularly so the battery isn't charged. So if I do atleast 80-100km drive this won't be a problem. As per the owner of the he drives only once a week. When I asked the inspection guy about the battery percentage he said it was more than 65%. He also said after the test drive it increased. I'm curious on this could this really happen? Also on the scanner it showed faulty for ABS. He said it's not something big only scanner could identify it hence not to worry now I will be able to do more than 5000 kms. If it's something big error will appear in the dashboard. Also there another error it showed for Honda BCM. He said that's also because of ABS issue. He said battery is in good health condition and if I drive few miles consistently percentage will go up. Is that possible? I'm attaching the scan results here. I would be really thankful if anyof you can give me yours opinion whether it's a worthy buy. This vehicle's chassis number doesn't fall for engine oil burning issue which honda recalled. https://www.honda.co.jp/recall/auto/other/170120.html Appreciate your thoughts....

  7. May be they said and that's when he decided to sell after doing a regular service . I must say i used this car very roughly ever since i bought. drove in roads with pretty bad conditions. No accident happened , after i bought i did not do the 1st service from TL. But I did the next service from TL today as I thought it's good to carry on with the TL service records which is already have also it will be useful to get a good resale value. So today TL gave me these things needs to done after the service. I don't know whether it's true or not I have heard from my friends TL is famous for giving a huge bills on their customers. Any idea on costs in approximately to fix issue 1, 2 and 3
  8. Hi iRange, Thanks alot for the information buddy. Yes I’m pretty sure about the mileage, because i have seen all service records from TL and even in this time service TL confirmed the previous owner and service records which has done previously. Guy was a old professor seemed a genuine guy. Car was selled at 35.90 when the milage was around 52000. Last year October. After I bought it I may have used it hard. How serious are these issue. What issue should I fixed in the first priority . Should I go with TL on fixing these ? How much would be the cost for these. I know too many questions ?. Sorry
  9. I recently bought a corolla 141, which has a mileage about 60000. Then once the service time is up I decided to go to toyota lanka since previous owner has been maintaining the vehicle from the same place since day one. So once the service is done by TL they gave me some remarks of the vehicle indicating that the things should be changed/ replaced / fixed. I’m a very much newbie to this so please bear with me if these are some stupid questions. I would like to post the comments they gave me after the vehicle inspection below. please see the image which has the comments. All I need to know is in what urgency should I fix these. Around how much would I need to be spent. How serious are these fixes. Thanks.
  10. Has anyone been to Toyota Lanka Matara Service Station? Is this a Toyota Lanka branch or some authorized agent in that area. How much do they charge for a service + transmission fluid change approx ?
  11. I recently bought a corolla 141. All It's services has been done by Toyota Lanka from the first service it self. Can anyone please advice me whether to continue the services with Toyota Lanka if so what's the price normally there or any procedures to follow.
