Honda Vezel Hybrid Owners/Fan Club

[imhaseeb_khan200]

Thank you, brother. I am going to buy this vehicle. I have checked other cars too but not able to find good ones like vezel. I mean the comfort, features, style, driving all look incredible to me.

Can you please tell me how to drive DCT? I mean what are the important factors I should consider while diving a DCT?

Also if you tell me the routine maintenance of Vezel that would be beneficial for me. Like

Engine Oil grade
DCT oil (change after how many KM?)
Accutator oil (change after how many KM?)
Brakes Oil (change after how many KM?)
any other thing that I should note for the car maintenance?

Waiting for the reply

You think will get info for free

[zarakdurrani606]

Engine oil should be 0w20, transmission fluid is the Honda DW1 brand (replace it every 60,000 km, actuator fluid is dot 4 brake fluid change every 20,000 km or sooner if you drive like you stole it. Brake oil is DOT4, you can verify this through the manual or other users.

Sorry for a noob question.
The new Vezel's transmission is jerky too like in Vezels before 2015?

[zarakdurrani606]

Not the latest iteration on the road. That one has a CVT.

[zarakdurrani606]

Oh and one important thing to remember is not to drive your vezel up hills and steep grades haltingly, the transmission tends to overheat real quick and will go into safe mode. I experienced this in swat way back when the road to Kalam was being made.

[shujah4]

Oh. What's safe mode?

[imhaseeb_khan200]

your vezel up hills and steep grades haltingly

Can you explain a bit more? I don't understand

and what is the recommended coolant for Vezel?

[grotle998]

What he means to say is, imagine a dual clutch transmission as a manual transmission because that's how it works essentially, so just like a manual try not to stress the clutches too much by stopping and try to keep moving. He is absolutely right as that's how I used to drive my Vezel too and I didn't have any problems

[grotle998]

Nope it's got revised gear ratios and much newer software so yeah it's more refined and smooth if that's what you're after

[grotle998]

I would advise at 10,000km as I used to change mine at 15,000km and would notice clutch slippage only once or twice between 10,000km and 15,000km

[grotle998]

Ideally look at a website like carvx.jp which will let you put in the chassis number, which will tell you the year and variant. the reason you should do this is because many people convert X's to fake Z's. When I went to look for one, I was looking at this one white 2016 supposedly a Z and at first glance it was indeed a Z and just as my father was about to finalize a deal, I noticed all of its windows were not one touch and if you're into Vezels you would know that as STANDARD (not an option) all its windows are one touch automatic. while the seats were of a Z (half leather opposed to fabric), it had roof rails, the 17 inch diamond cut wheels, cladding in body color, this was a lucky find otherwise I would have been extremely annoyed. Hence, I advise everyone in this thread to always check your cars variant when you buy it as this is very common in imported cars and most common in cars like Toyota Aquas you may very well notice so do keep an eye out!

[grotle998]

Sir with all due respect, yeh pakistan hai idhar sabki price theek hoti hai Just be sure to make sure your car is not crashed or converted, I've seen genuine 2018s sell for 46 lacs and even up to 58 lacs so it just depends really

[imhaseeb_khan200]

Thank you very much brother for all the answers and clarification Jazakallah Khair

[imhaseeb_khan200]

Can you please tell me which coolant should I use ?

also after buying Vezel just a routine maintenance is required or is there anything I am missing? I am buying a fresh import

[pwuser154212239585]

Just use it in sports mode with paddle shifters
Took my car from Lahore all the way to khunjerab,Astore valley,Deosai plains,skardu,Gilgit and Hunza.Not even a single issue any where Alhumdullilah car performed very well

[grotle998]

Just change your actuator fluid every 10,000kms there is a tutorial on youtube, we use dot4 brake fluid any decent branded one. Engine oil I prefer using 0w-20 fully synthetic.

[grotle998]

Not sure about the coolant

[imhaseeb_khan200]

again Jazakallah Khair

I was studying Honda Vezel Recall issue and wanted to ask a question.

My plan is to buy a vezel 2016 +model so just curious if the vezel chassis number is in the recall list should I still buy it or not? Because according to the website below Chasis number

February 23, 2016-January 10, 2018

RU3-1200021～RU3-1275304 is all on the list. So does it mean that recall solved the issue?
