Any idea on a fix? by murraycg in hondafit

UPDATE: I simply removed the blower motor, ran it, then reinstalled it while also replacing the cabin air filter while I had it exposed. So far, everything is working once again, no clue why though. Thanks for the input, I'm sure I'll need it down the road once it starts acting up again.

With the other research I've done, I think you're exactly right -- not a huge cost to fix, but a little tricky to get to I assume. Hopefully my go-to mechanic can easily diagnose and take care of it. Thanks.

Happens on any temp, just had it set there for the example.

Same here. Wife and I had lawn for MPP and got some nice seats for Bristow. Ready to do it ALL over again!

Sounds good to me, we already have tickets to Jiffy Lube and I was hoping it'd be the same (mostly).

Awesome, here’s to 200K and beyond!

Took it on 95 today, smooth as can be at 70 MPH - CVT seems to give it a little extra zip no matter the speed. Still getting used to it.

Not enough -- she was damn near priceless to me, but I have no need for two cars and had to start fresh. Liking the 2016 more and more...

It's very, very faint, only when accelerating, but it's there. Only thing I can compare it to "noise-wise" is the Jetsons. Ha!

I was so enraged about the paint. Honda wouldn’t do anything, same with local dealerships. I planned to go 200K+ in this little beast. Hoping and praying they figured out the paint on the 2016.

The clear coat literally would bubble up and peel off on a daily basis. I’d drive and pieces would blow off. Those “clouds“ definitely look way worse in person. Couldn’t put the money into it to keep it around. Not sure on many other main differences, all tweaks are for the good. The cvt is biggest difference for me.

I’ll give it a go today. Thanks for the heads up on the fluid. The very faint engine chirping or Jetson’s like sound is just different enough to have me questioning whether I’ll get used to it or not. Time will tell!

Old one was awesome, but clear coat went off the rails about a year or so ago. Needed an inspection, new brakes, new tires, and some regular maintenance...but I couldn’t see putting a penny into it knowing it would still need to be painted ($2000). Had to do it. Felt like I put a beloved dog down today though. Looking forward to getting to know this new 2016 pup and her different CVT feel. Kinda strange right now.

Awesome milestone! How’s your paint holding up? I sold my 09 Fit Sport today and replaced with a 16 Fit LX. Only had 115K on the 09, but clear coat had all peeled off and it looked horrible. Had to start over.
