Am using Shell 95 at the moment, and been rev happy lately so the lousy FC can't realy blame on the fuel... Will try to do the same with other brands soon...
This tank has been town drive only and frankly it's very lousy and guestimating it to be 300 when last bar flashing sad.gif


On the other note, am not sure if it's juz me or is MyVI's suspension very soft and hence the car very bouncy driving thru rough roads...
No mods on my car and it's only 2 years old...

another thing guys,
did any of you guys improve your alarm system?
just checked through some forums, saying Myvi bonnet is easy to be open...
*
There are always the option to "move" the cable which is easy to access to...
There are alot of "plug in" alarm system for myVI which doesn't void the factory warranty. Can start there or juz add in an extra door sensor at your bonnet so that ur alarm will sound and attract attention...

My SA is missdream. See her topic in Automative Garage.
I highly recommend her. Very friendly. My Maybank loan approval took less than 1 day. smile.gif
Then when news of the Limited Edition came around, she say can change my current model choice, and increase the loan later.

Hello fellow MyVIans~
Been awhile since i posted anything at all tongue.gif

Juz some update on my MyVI, my absorber is leaking... 2 years 2 months, juz out of warranty and it's only 31k KMs!! Sigh, need to fork out some money to replace em now...

Any suggestion for replacement for OEM absorbers? I was quoted RM175 for P2 Ori Kayaba (Licensed by Tokico Japan) <-- That's how the Seremban SC told me...

Will shop around for a better alternative or I'd be good on Kayaba? Comments pls~

Cheers!


Any comments on inserting Coil Buffers for suspensions? Any one installed for their myVI?

Security Upgrade for MyVI


Added on November 16, 2009, 12:36 pmMore news for your light reading ...


Enhanced security features for new Myvi cars
Submitted by masami on Monday, November 9th, 2009
The airbag is the most expensive single part in the cabin, costing about RM2,500 or RM5,000 for each car as these airbags are fitted for the driver and front passenger.

FOLLOWING a number of reported Myvi airbag thefts in recent months, which led to the discovery of a security weakness, all Myvi models manufactured from January next year will come pre-installed with an improved alarm system to address the issue.

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) managing director, Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar, told Malay Mail that Perodua discovered a security weakness that allowed thieves with working knowledge of the car to easily remove both fitted airbags without triggering the alarm.

"We discovered the problem during monthly technical meetings, where a recurring pattern of airbag thefts were noted from a number of customer complaints reported back from service centres.

"From the reported thefts in the media as well, our research and development division noticed the security problem and we knew we needed a field-fix," he said.

A few months of research enabled the technical committee to device a counter-measure.

"We have fixed it for the models coming out now, but we are in the midst of enabling and testing the after-market solution for cars that are already on the road," he said.

Cars manufactured in April already have a quick-fix, where all Myvi cars produced from then had a "software upgrade" that nullified the problem.

Cars sold before April, however, could receive a free upgrade at service centres starting from December.

This upgrade would be similar to the alarm system maintenance and takes 20 to 30 minutes to install.
It is learnt that the thefts started at the end of last year and Perodua has recorded about five airbag theft cases — which were reported to its customer relations department so far.

A spokesperson said Perodua will assist police in their investigations.

i ask them why they never fitted it in the first place, they just told me, they design the car manufacturing/produciton like that.. so will only add every first service... (for them to make more money lo)
*
Guess they juz wanna earn that extra RM29.90 from us since first service... They'll "recommend" to change the filter every 10k KMs...
juz to "protect" the a/c compressor which is suppose to be fitted in the first place upon delivery to customers...


On the side note, Toyotas and Hondas doesnt have the filter as well... Juz to make u "service" ur a/c units on time @ their SCs.. So it's obvious money earning method used by car manufacturers... shocking.gif
