Honda Brio Owner Faces Multiple Engine Warning Signs

Had similar issues with my 2018 Honda City last year. The symptoms matched yours exactly, rough idle, power loss, and terrible fuel economy. Turned out to be faulty fuel injectors. When I took it in, mechanic found carbon buildup was preventing proper fuel spray patterns. Three injectors were completely clogged, and one was leaking. The check engine light and exhaust smell were dead giveaways. It was definitely a serious issue that needed immediate attention. The fix involved removing, testing, and cleaning all injectors. Two were beyond repair and needed replacement. Also got new seals and gaskets installed. Car's been running smooth since then, no more shaking, power's back to normal, and fuel consumption is where it should be. With your symptoms and mileage, I'd bet on injector issues too. Don't wait too long, running with bad injectors can cause more engine damage. Get it checked by a certified Honda technician.

Hey there! Yeah, I went through almost exactly what you described with my Brio. I had the fuel injectors cleaned and replaced, and it sorted out all those annoying problems, the shaking, power loss, everything. The car's been running like a charm since then. Quick question, do you remember roughly how much you ended up paying for the fix? Also, has your car given you any more trouble since getting it repaired? Just curious because I'm coming up on a year since my repair and wondering what to expect.

Hey again! Glad to hear you got your Brio sorted out with the injector work, that's exactly what mine needed too! Since you asked, I paid 515€ for the whole job, which included replacing two injectors and cleaning the others, plus all the new seals and gaskets. I know repairs can be pricey, but honestly, it was worth every penny considering how well the car's running now. And to answer your other question, nope, absolutely zero issues since getting it fixed! It's been running perfectly smooth for over a year now. The rough idle is completely gone, power delivery is spot on, and fuel consumption is back to normal. My mechanic really knew what they were doing, and it shows in how well the repair has held up. Just keep up with your regular maintenance, and you shouldn't have any more injector problems. These Honda engines are pretty solid once you sort out any issues. Super happy to hear your Brio's back in good shape too!

Thanks for sharing that info! Yeah, you're right, the repair wasn't cheap but totally worth it. Actually, just got back from my mechanic today for a routine check-up, and everything's still perfect. They mentioned the injectors are in great condition. The funny story was when I first took it in for the repair, I was so nervous because of my previous bad experience with another shop. But this mechanic was different. They showed me the clogged injectors and explained everything so clearly. Even let me see the before and after fuel spray patterns! Really gave me confidence they knew what they were doing. What a relief to hear your car's still running strong after a year. Makes me feel much better about the money I spent on the fix. My Brio's running like new now, no more shaking, great power, and back to being fuel-efficient. Guess we both dodged a bullet by getting it fixed before any serious engine damage happened! Anyways, really appreciate all your help. It's been super reassuring chatting with someone who went through the same thing!
