thats the normal mileage already. best to leave the ECU as-is.

my car using 15" rims with super heavy 11" disc rotor getting about 300km++ per full tank of shell ron95.

i think 15 40SW is abit too 'heavy' for our car? try using the recommended oil grade as written in the car manual. shld be able to achieve the best FC.

Thanks bro. Its 10W40 actually. Ya. I think its the engine oil also. Hmmm. Need to wait till next service. Btw, is it suitable using Mobil 1? Or my friend working at a workshop recommended me using a 0W50 engine oil. I forgot what brand. But a bit expensive.

Hello my fellow viva owners. it has been a while since my last visit. i would like to take this opportunity to say Selamat Hari Raya to everyone! hope it's not too late.



anyway, hello there sifoo noblesse,
i'm thinking to upgrade my brake setup too. here are a few details that i have in mind :

1. i don't mind keeping the stock brake shoe for the rears.
2. i want to change to MYVI Brembo brake rotors (bigger diameter than viva )
3. but, since my elite EZi comes with ABS, i want to keep the ABS feature. is it possible to use my ABS with myvi brembo rotors?

haha not sifu la bro. just fellow viva owners. sharing is caring~

anyways, if u wanna use myvi brembo rotor, u need to use myvi calipers. if not mistaken, myvi rotor cant fit our viva calipers. changing front brakes wont affect ABS. ABS only affected if u change rear drum to disc brake. but if u go to those workshop pro in brake conversion, ABS shldnt be affected.

how bout i suggest other alternative to u. u can actually get YRV brake set (rotor + caliper).. cost about RM250 >LINK< from chop shop. it is DIRECT plug and play to viva, no need to fabricate bracket.

just need to service the caliper (depend on condition), and perhaps skim the rotor (depends on condition) as it came from chop shop. if items are good condition, u can just use it straight away. YRV set is 10x better than MYVI caliper..

myvi caliper got problems with the caliper pin. after some time, will give the annoying 'kok kok' sound.
and also YRV caliper came from a turbo 1300cc car. so im pretty sure it is more than enough to stop our N/A 1000c viva

guys.. just recently got viva elite auto... few questions to ask...

1) found out that viva elite dont have adjustable height steering.. is every viva also like that one ?

2) the noise from engine bay is quite high.. especially the sound is like tight or misaligned timing belt.. is this normal for viva ?

hope that helps.

thanks for the reply...

so confirm no adjustable height for steering la..aiih
ok ...

the sound is actually when idle... it sounds like how lorry will sound.. the belt is like too tight la..

if the engine sounds when idle is that high as you said, you may want to pay a visit to Perodua SC soon bro. let them check everything because in my opinion the viva engine when idle is close to 'quiet'

Hey guys. as you all know my front hood isn't properly alligned. yes, i've replaced the hood with the new one but since i have yet to do any major 'knocking' and body repair the hood won't be properly alligned. so, there is a tendancy that water from rain or during a carwash to come into the engine compartment at the sides there.

like this one. the ABS unit is not really flooded with water, but there's slight water that comes in. will it effect the braking system? that ABS system has got a few wires around it. i'm afraid it may effect the braking while i'm driving

Checking In!! >)
New Viva owner here, Elite 1.0 Ebony Black!
Got it last friday(malaysia day)
Hope can share something here!!

Welcome

Anyone?



Anyway guys, here's another symptom

car : Elite EZi, Auto, 1000cc

Exhaust setup.
Change the header to this one and threw the ori


the same goes to this rear section.



so,since i travel via ELITE highway almost everyday from shah alam-klia exit, i always constantly drive 130-140kmh. the thing is, after driving in that speed for 10mins or so, after i let go off the throttle and the moment i hit the throttle again, the exhaust misfire. is it bad for the engine? or it's okay for the engine ?

yes i felt the same with my viva elite...asked perodua sc, they said its normal..but i rarely heard other viva has the sound..not viva elite at least..

another one that i just noticed, viva elite is using carburator engine, is it true? i saw in the manual, got efi engine also..but for viva elite its using carburator?

sry bro, im not very well versed with exhaust problems.

i recently had an upgrade, full stainless steel exhaust.
3-1 extractor, 2 bullets, midbox, full SS piping. so far so good.
nice bassy sound when idling.
not too loud , just nice

for your problem, i 'think' it could be probably be due to unburnt fuel? or what do they call it, fuel too rich?
i dont think its exhaust bocor or something.. usually that comes together with car vibrating excessively when idling

carburetors is kancil time haha.. easily identifiable with the big round air filter in the engine.
