K.P.

Hello all, Its been 2 years since I got solved the problem, 78,900Kms on the clock and still car runs smoothly. Seems like changing pistons with rings is a permanent or last long solution for oil burning issue. Will update here if I face anything else in the future. Cheers!!!

I'm not challenging you or insulting you, don't take my comments as so ? but the place where I get done the job said and show me that, new rings are not designed for old piston and there is also visible play than new rings in the old rings of old piston. However we saw that rings are perfectly fit to pistons in new one. They also said that only changing rings may cost half a price but not a permanent solution. We need a permanent solution so we went through it. However in my IMA it shows me only 14km/l I'm doing. Is that details from IMA are true? ? It is really not enough for a hybrid no? ?

Yes exactly! We knew that it is pretty high than we thought however we just want to make sure that the job done using genuine parts coz we are fed up enough. However, I don't no how the repair is going on in other places, here they cleaned the engine like a new one. Engine is almost shining like new engine. And specially I need to mention that, they used mobil 1000 10w30 engine oil. Also need to check the hybrid battery after 500kms and they are going to do it free and they said that the health of battery should be 75%.

This is carbon layers I noticed and tailpipe is in aluminum colour not black like this before this matter comes in.

Hello all, My Honda fit gp1 (now 69000km) got tappet like noise and when I reverse and suddenly put the gear to drive, it shows me a misfire or something like it. Engine looks like jerking when I accelerate. But it went normal with in 4, 5 seconds. Meanwhile engine oil level got drastically down and I have to top up it like twice a week. I'm a daly around 30 - 35 km traveler and twice car got jerk like a 'fish out of water' and engine do not let me to run anymore. When I check the engine oil level it shows me the minimum level so both days I filled it and jerk went out. But last week things went worst. I started the car but it wasn't let me to drive it even 10, 30 meters as car is jerking continuesly. Nothing to do and we decide to replace pistons and rings as it is a permanent solution for this matter. We went to a prestigious place near keththarama ground. (I don't know is it allow here to say the name. Anyway if anyone wants to know the name please let me know.) They said that it is common design fault and now they have permanent solution for it as we knew it before. They offered a package of 250,000/- rupees including engine overhaul, replacing all pistons and rings, replacing all 8 plugs, engine tune up and done each and all things which should done as necessarily. Yesterday I got the car back however they ask me to bring back after 500kms. Will update here what happen after it. Now car is smoothly running. I don't is it is because new broom sweeps well ? Moreover, I have noticed that the day finally my car got jerk, there is a thick layer of carbon in the tailpipe which I haven't previously noticed. Tailpipe is full off water drops not carbon before this matter cames in to the car. You are feel free to contact me. Of you want to get any idea about procedure. Also I have heardthat there are places which this thing can get done cheaply. But I need to make sure that they use genuine parts and do they have right knowledge to right thing. I'm happy with the service but price is cargills. Cheers!!!
