Hi I asked this question from other forum( see below ) how ever looking for an advice from Honda section. i believe one of GP 1 user help me on this. This is GP1 2011 and 65,000. battery is 25% Gear oil has changed in 40K and never done a engine tune up still the original spark plugs. got it checked before buy it from Stafford and no any issue and no oil burn problem too. when i'm start using i felt some thing wrong in this. morning it was awesome!! very good pulling power. After around 1 hour time behavior will changed as below it seem very lazy to move and i had to give more gas to get the required power and then engine RPM go around 3000-5000. some times when i press i apply the break engine RPM go 1500 and then cut off. normally it will shut down smoothly . this happens during heavy traffic and moving 1m per second . it looks applying breaks every second and accelerate if the car lazy mode and give more gas, car got small knock, or wobbling or bucking. i really need to get this checked and one person in stafford said this is normal for hybrid and do a Engine tune up and see. is there any place i can get this checked thoroughly ? please let me know your idea Thank you sira

Thank you and appriciate you advice. how ever i need to get this checked by a proper person. I showed to Stafford and they said do a tune up and see. not sure how will effect this issue. do you know any one who can thoroughly check this issue? sira

Thank you all for the update since last week i drove this car every day to my office and realized behaviors as below In the morning the pulling power is fantastic. and after 1 or 2 hours it get reduced . Battery seems quickly get discharged during the traffic jam then engine run fast when all happen the car pulling power reduce around 40% let me see your ideas sira

Hi Lal Alawathha said if the millage is more than 100,000 km then engine is worn or start getting worn . this was said on " sitha FM panchikawatta " program. How true of this comment.

The owner confirmed that he changed the CVT oil at the 40K which indicated on the pannel. This issue comes all the times. and just got one of friend in honda and he said if you stop middle of the ramp, then you must move the gear to S ot L to climb further.

Dear Friendsi brought Gp1 YOM is 2011 and Millage is 65,000. i got the condition report from agents - "stafford" - Rathrhanapiyiya .All seems OK. only the battery condition is 25%. On the first day i notice small issue while driving. with slow moving the traffic jam and press the accelerator few times and apply breaks few time car seems unhappy to move forward. then i had to press the accelerator more than usual to move forward and then it will start moving like slipping or Bucking , shaking... the behavior is looks like, when you pressing and releasing accelerator every second. very unusual. how ever today i went to "Asiri central hospital" and entered to upper level parking and the road with ramp (30-45 degree i guess) . I was following another car and i had to stop middle of the ramp. then release the break and press the accelerator , Oh my god!!! car was not moving forward. I saw the RPM goes around 2000. then i apply break and then it start move back. then i move the gear leaver to "S"mode . it start moving very slow. with high RPM. What could be the issue with this car. Honda agents notice the first issue and they said do a Tune up and change Plugs if needed. but i think this is not with the power and seems gear box please advice and highly appreciate your valuable comments. Thank you sira

Dear Friends I'm hoping to buy this car and did the condition test. see the attached, will some one advice me how is the battery condition . this is 2011 Fid hybrit one SOC - 72% usable IMA battery capacity - 25%

Thank you for the update. i was not aware of 2013 model issue.

Dear friends Since last month i was looking for a car . I gone thro with Honda GE 6 YOM 2007 to 2009. and most of them are good and expensive too. So then searched the spare parts and it looks this is very uncommon car and very difficult to find used spares. very nice car. Then i thought pay more and get a good one, good fuel economical and bit a new one. Then i searched Honda GP1 2011-2013 and looks bit a common car and spare parts are easily available even Hybrid Battery pack cost around 120K and Engine + gear box around 140K (at vikasaitha homagama) got few comments from few of them and they said hybrid battery will last for 8-10 years and then you need to replace them. some of said this model got engine oil burn issue and repair cost go around 100k. so far I have had honda and swift and they were nice. what i'm looking for is If its below 3 M 10-12 kmpl city and 15 or above in outstation. IF its below 3.4 M Prefer Hybrid with low mileage please let me know your valuable ideas Thank you sira

Dear Friends I'm looking for GD1 or GE6 which above YOM of 2006. how good is it? 1. Fuel consumption 2. Spare parts 3. Known issue 4 . Any other current market price Thank you Sira

Dear Friends Looking for a ES8 and some of them said ES8 VTi with Multimatic will give you a very good fuel economy. 10Kmpl in colombo and 12-15 out station. but multimatic gear box you need to maintain well ES8 Exi is not very good with fuel economy how true is this? sira

Thank you very much for the update. This comment was said by famous engineer and i doubt that too. so that's why i asked the question Thank you all Sira

Hi This could result due to wrong caster angle. please check it first . "car care - wellawatta" they can check it manually. the front wheels must comeback to straight position when you release the steering wheel after turning, this force will generated with the caster angle while driving. like the wheels on " super market trolley", it's adjust to the direction Other thing is due to incorrect camber angle the caster force may not be generated. so result would be the same.the camber angle may differ due to shock absorber damage. also check type pressure. first do the proper wheel alignment then start repair.

Dear Friends,Dear Friends. what is the life span of below mechanical areas of motor car. Life span of Engine - i heard after 100,000 km the car engines will decrees the performance and fuel consumption . Some of said, toyota is good long life span . and honda can be 300,000 - 500,000 with carefully maintained. how true of these comments? life span of electronic sensors? map, airflow O2....etc Life span of the gear box Let me have your valuable idea Sira

Thanks Ranadeewa. this is 2004 beetle model and yes MA13 Engine. Hope no carbon on the tail pipe Thank you

Dear Friends I need your advise on this. I brought this car 6, 7 month back and i realized the fuel consumption is very bad. some times it is 6 Kmpl. also noticed that the exhaust is dark. So I taken my car to 2 different mechanics and they did almost every thing. then consumption became 7-8 kmpl . but the issue is exhaust pipe got carbon soot and plugs look bit a dark . No MIL indication and no error on engine scan Emission test was passed see my tuneup details. Tuneup 1 - mechanic 1 clean all injectors replaced the Air filter Unable to remove throttle body due to bad bolt. Applied injector cleaner in to that Same issue Tuneup 2 - mechanic 2 Clean all injectors Removed the manifold and cleaned all of them Cleaned the EGR Valve Cleaned Throttle body - by removing it from manifold and cleanned all sensors Replaced the Spark plugs - iridium Same issue Tuneup 3 - mechanic 2 Replaced all 4 injectors. Cleaned the Throttle body replaced the air filter doesn't seems fixed the issue. Now the same mechanic saying , replace oxygen sensor 2 next to catalytic converter. I have spent hell of money on this issue and bit a reluctant to spend more rather not knowing exact fault. I went to Anuradhapura on week end and it dose only 12 Kmpl. so i think it should do more than that. Do you think this is normal? . Can this be a Oxygen sensor issue ?cannot see the error on the scan . The same mechanic said, some occasions sensors may not get 100% faulty but the reading may get degraded. but i'm not convinced with that. Hope you understand the this and waiting for your valuable comments thank you

Thank you very much for the update. yes this does only 8-9 Kmpl and recently i clean the manifold coz had lot of carbon and EGR valve too. then installed new iridium plugs . now it does 8 -9 from 6-7. not a fuel economical car. but it really good with pulling power.

Dear friends, I got my swift few months back and few things need to clear. 1. There is sticker on the passenger side of the window - Security alarm but i still cannot find the alarm , or it may have disabled. no alarm switch on the dash board. but i can see one blue color wire connector there and i believe it may have disabled by removing the alarm switch. may be that connector is belongs to some other. 2. on the information panel (temperature and fuel consumption panel) one red light there and never seen it flashing or on . and do not know the purpose of that. 3. There is one sensor or indicator on top of the dash board (very closed to windscreen from inside) and no idea what was that if you guys got same model of swift , can you please advise me on above Thank you sira

used bumper bracket . they have charged 8000 for this from my insurance company but installed broken one!! another issue was , the new paint and old paint colors are miss matched!

Dear friends. think again when you want to get a paint job from MR.P. they are not professionals. see attached pic. i had to send my car for 2 more time to fix the dent issue. they do not care much. see the issues below 1. they supposed to replace the bumper bracket but they have fixed the broken one.agreed to replace it later. do not know when! 2. first time they did not fixed the dent but just paint it. 3.The lacquer mist is every where. 3. Bad cataloy paste work. 4. when i collect the car , one fuse had burned. the dash board lights was not coming on when the ignition on. how ever i personally attend to this and fixed it with my own be careful !

Yes, i have changed with mobile 3309 now i can see big difference with the puling power Thanks

Dear Friends I'm looking for the equivalent AFT oil brand for my Swift. on the dip stick it says 3317 or equivalent. The original Suzuki Oil cost will be 4500/- and few of them said if not CVT or Triptonic normal ATF is compatible. can you please advise me on this https://www.google.lk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwih59Stp7rVAhWJu48KHYaFCIYQFggkMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ipdusa.com%2Ffiles%2Fproduct%2F509%2FAISIN%20ATF%20OE%20INTERCHANGE.PDF&usg=AFQjCNHCsxtiDEAjKUFVCijnAm3QjHa7ow Thank you sira
