yeah, GK Jazz brake not that responsive compared to its competitor. It is not tak makan but rather lack of bite feel. The 1st 10% of brake feel is like nothing (no brake bite) but the next 10% is suddenly very makan. Brake feel not progressive.

Changing other brand brake pad together with brake bleeding certainly improve braking feel. Wait till finish then you may change to other pad but will void warranty. The best possible option now is do brake bleeding to improve the feel without having warranty void.

p/s: The original brake pad supplied to Honda is made either by Akebono or Nissin but usually supplied by Akebono by newer batch.

V spec has ouside temp display
There is also option to calibrate in case it is not accurate.

Professional car inspection is available in Msia
In fact, the jap is pro as this most recon car is sourced from jap auction is inspected.

Have not personally used them but their info in the website below.

Confirm service by looking at service booklet. There is 'chop' from SC to indicate service done at which date and the mileage.

For those who feel that the Jazz brake is spongy, you might want to try this. Brake hard until the ABS activated. This was what SC inform when the complaint of brake spongy was made during the service. That's all they did and tested the brake feel is now better. I would have thought they bleed the brake fluid but they didn't.

I dont get their reasoning as well but since it did solved the problem, I didnt pursue further.

Yr mechanic explaination does not seem to be accurate as well. ABS works by cutting the pressure of brake intermittently to prevent lock up.There is no diff of pressure from day to day emergency braking in non-ABS car. If brake line is swollen when ABS is activated, think that it will be manufacturing defect.

Current model Jazz uses 3.5 litres of CVT fluid. Honda SC charges RM120.50 including gst for 3.5l.

The petrol version of GK Jazz uses CVT. CVT is a specific type of Auto transmission. The latest facelifted petrol (non hybrid) GK is the same mechanically, only cosmetic is diff. Yes, the pre-facelifted GK Jazz assembled in Malaysia is using HCF-2 CVT fluid.

Better you get it change at SC if still unsure. Your car shld be within warranty period and SC will change it every 40k km or 24 months whichever comes 1st. The part price is not much different compared to outside. Only diff is labout cost.
