i just got back from East coast yday...on d 1st day heading to Kota Bharu via Karak>Bentong>Raub>Kl.Lipis>Gua Musang>KB, well i didnt count d exact FC but after i pumped full tank (in MRR2, KL) i managed to drive 500km+ with approx 1-2bars left b4 my next refill at Rantau Panjang!  thumbup.gif
Yeap! its KL>KB (including town drivings)>Rantau Panjang~!

well, i tried clock this while driving at a constant speed of RPM =/< 3k...with just occasionally hard rev to overtake,etc...&this involved driving at highway, outskirt roads & some small towns   hmm.gif
oh yah, i just serviced my car a week b4  nod.gif

so tat's quite good FC if u ask me.. rclxms.gif (really depends on driving style, regular service, etc...NO? brows.gif )

2nd refill from KB>KT>Kuantan only last me nearly 500km though, cuz involved more hard revving....hehehe
*
That's nice fc u have there... I used to be able to drive up to 420km on city drive with a full tank, keeping the RPM as low as possible (because it was new 2 years ago).... but now... I dun really care about it.... haha....

mine pump full tank, go KLIA, back to KL, then go work in KL for 2 days (from serdang to raja chulan) and go genting and come back. (stuck in MRR2 for 1 hour jam) total mileage 480km for RM59 petrol. when go genting, i rev gila gila coz was racing with my fren, when naik bukit, i rev till 5k rpm on average. down hill on the highway average speed around 140-150kph. mine is manual btw. when KLIA that time, around 130-140kph. i think when rev till like that also can get that FC, should be very good d. from genting to serdang only use 1 bar petrol while my frens auto use 2 bar  brows.gif

wah... very very good fc!!!!!

Then I can go Penang with 1 tank!

of course you can... I think from KL to Penang is about 400KM only.... As long as you follow the speed limit then you should be able to reach there with 2 or 3 bar left....

btw, anyone knows whether u can buy the new Myvi radio with USB support to fit on old Myvi?
*
ya... i was thinking bout that too.... trade in the old one for the new radio...
buying those FM modulators looks ugly (Something sticking out from the hole tongue.gif sweat.gif ) and some says it's not good... sound not loud enough even they put to max volume, same says got interference and some says not clear.... not sure bout the FM modulator brand...

hi guys wanna ask...

1) during service, i'll always get the engine oil bottle with some left overs, so everytime i go service, i just accumulate it with the previous one.. and i think now its almost full 1 whole bottle.. it is ok to use back the oil?

2) when on bumpy road (rock surface etc) there's sound like clank clank (like got 1 screw in a can then u shake it) from rear area... i believe it from exhaust/muffler area.. ive checked and seems nothing loose.. when go to SC, they said calliper problem (which is i think it is wrong seems the calliper is in front) then changed, still got sound. go again then said fixed, but still got sound. dem. anyone facing the same problem?

3) previously my batt kong, then i use century dry cell batt.. then i notice sumthing.. usually, when idle, there's a condition where your RPM will jump a bit than normal rite?like 1000RPM --> 1300RPM -->1000RPM... then when its jump from 1k-1.3k, the light inside (above head) will blink.. not totally on off but dim a bit for half secs i believe.. what happened act? the batt is going to kong again (so fast!!) or what?

4) when i drive in the morning, especially in traffic jam, my brake will produce wobbling sound.. when fully brake no sound one lah.. only when the brake pad is about touching the brake disc.. no shaking.. just the sound.. usually the metal-to-metal sound indicates the brake pad is out d, but for this im not sure...
*
1) you should use the left over oil before putting in the new oil.... It's ok to use the oil...

2) Seems like your case is same as brewoe_1988.... (I'm not an expert) lol....

3) Your idle RPM is high, It even reaches 1300????... extremely high... Or it's in the morning when you just start your car?.... Battery will not affect the RPM....

4) It's normal.... Chill....

hey guys..my myvi 40600 km d...nid to svc by 40300km. It's myvi Ezi auto 1.3 2007. Just got it few months back 2nd hand. what should i change/check? Some probs i encountered:
i) when brake steering will shake(certain speeds)
ii) steering wheel position is not center when wheels are. (5 degrees to the left)
iii) some sounds from the front when on rough roads(like smtg loose)
iv) air cond not dat cold(or isit normal for myvi...compared to saga)

Another question, should i go p2 SC or just do it outside?? cos no more warranty..2 years past d. pls pm me smile.gif thanks!!!
*
I would suggest you to go to P2 sc to service it for the first time. Tell them your story.
Add: Do a full service if possible icon_idea.gif it's gonna cost u a bomb rclxub.gif
iii) you got skirting on your car? might be that problem.... or that car had accident b4? Ask p2 guys to check it...

Since it's over warranty, you can just go to outside workshop to service it after that.

tyre going botak soon...sad.gif tat day went to a tyre shop to ask bout price the ppl there say can change from 175/65 R14 tyre to 185/60 R14 tyre for better grip...anyone tried this?? on stock standard myvi rim..wat brand of tyre good for grip and comfort? i was thinking michellin XM1 maybe..but price slightly more then the other tyre..dunno worth it or not..

been rotating the wheels every 10k km..so tyre wear quite uniform..thinking to change all 4 together..sweat.gif going bankrupt already..sad.gif
*
MX1 is good... My Michelin MX1 passed 30,000km already but still got full grip, but a bit calar liao .... Took the corner outside my Taman too fast and caused my car to drift, luckily I over-steer it and hit the bendable cones in between the roads, or else I'll masuk longkang already....

My previous Good Year NCT5 lasted 36,000km only... MX1... go for it....
