Moiz Bhai, Did the Honda dealer got back to you with appointment? if yes please share the experience..

I definitely would! Actually I requested them to give me appointment of a Saturday since that's the only day I'm free and can take the car to the dealer. As for now, I'm still waiting for their call. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Hi All, Can anybdy guide me the complete & accurate process of checking the CVT-F (CVT Transmission Fluid) level for steermatic?

There is a dipstick in the engine bay near the gear box. It is rather small. Just pull it and check.

no diff

thankooo bhai...
I believe, then it won't make a difference if low profiles are installed on an iDSI ???

Anis Bhai, I wish it could be as simple as this.. I read somewhere that this procedure is not as same as checking engine oil. To measure it correctly transmission has to be working in normal operating temparature and then while engins is On and gear in Parkign mode. The rpm has to be mainatained at about 1500 rpms for couple of minutes and then after turning off the engine the CVT-F level has to be checked between 60-90 seconds and ideally at this stage it should be between mid pont of the lower and Upper indicators of Hot indicator... I hope its understandable

I dont think so yar... Default tyre size for Steermatic is 185/55/R15 but it is 1500cc in comparison to 1300cc for iDSI... But thats just my point of view.. If this factor doesn't count then it should be ok

Where did you read that?

Where did you read that?

In an online User Manual for Honda Fit Aria in which CVT-F is used.. I beleive Aamir Bhai has the User Manual of Steermatic and he can have a look into it and let us know..

Aamir Bhai - Your help needed

Hazir Janab Hazir , Sorry Sir for late reply , Maaf kar denaaa :(

Ok now here is the procedure :



Walk out , start her & heat her up until the radiator fan comes up , as stree don't have temperature gauge , walk out & give 1min(60sec) to settle the oil down , dont wait more than 90sec , now check the level from dip stick it should be between the upper & lower marks on the HOT side & here you go CVT level checked

Aamir Bhai. Deer Aye Durast Aye :). Thank you for the detailed reply. Just one quick query.. Engine should be shut down or still running while walking out and checking the CVT-F dip stick?

i was thinking of buying city steermatic i wanted to know about the fuel consumption of both cng and petrol inside the city and on the highway
plz kindly tell me

[smashhud]

^^ Welcome to PakWheels as this is your first post. As far as your query is concerned CNG is a NO GO area for steermatics but I have seen people running the car succesfully on CNG but with alot of timely maintainence and care.. Detailed information on this and rest can be obtained from going through this thread itself...

As far as the mileage is concerned. Almost all Steermatic owners are getting 12-13 KM/Litre within City and 16.5-18 KM/Litre on Highways/Long Routes.. So i dont think there is any need for installing CNG :). Let me know if you want this to discuss in detail i will PM you my cell number.

<SMALL>Rather than having a fixed set of gear combinations, or "ratios", the CVT transmission allows an almost limitless number of engine speed to vehicle speed ratios. This provides significant benefits over a traditional automatic transmission, including:</SMALL>

• <SMALL>The computer can intelligently choose to have the Insight's gasoline engine and electric motor rotating at the optimal speed, regardless of how fast the car is travelling. When cruising under low power demand conditions, the engine & motor will turn relatively slowly, while they will turn faster when accelerating or climbing a hill. This provides improved fuel efficiency as compared to a typical automatic transmission.</SMALL>

• <SMALL>Because of the smooth transition in gear ratios provided by the CVT transmission, the CVT Insight provides constant, stepless acceleration from a stop all the way up to cruising speed. This contrasts with the jerk of gear changes experienced with a typical automatic transmission.</SMALL>

• <SMALL>The CVT transmission provides less power loss than a typical automatic transmission, resulting in better efficiency and acceleration.</SMALL>

<SMALL>Honda claims that their CVT transmission is the world's first mass-produced, high-power, stepless transmission. While such transmissions existed previously, they claim the CVT is "far superior in quality, endurance, power output [and] cost". They have also specifically designed the CVT to respond in the way that drivers are accustomed to other automatic tranmissions responding.</SMALL>
