QUOTE(ZenGTMM @ Feb 10 2011, 09:41 AM) Once the fuel light start to blink then I fill full tank can go in 28L.. Since the tank capacity is 36L, so balance is 8L.. Although the 8L is reserve and can be used, its not advisable as the fuel pump needs to be submerged in fuel to prevent overheating.. Im not sure if the Viva fuel pump is the submerged type.. But generally thats the use for reserve tank lah.. My viva consumes 7.2L/100km so far.. So i can easily go 100km if i want. Thanks. This morning I somehow manage to "repair" it. It appears that the last time when I pump my petrol the nozzle had caused the clip (the square thing on the fuel cover) to bend after leaning on it while pumping the petrol. I manage to push open it by inserting a plastic flexible ruler from the side. After adjusting the clip back into its original position then the problem is solved.  |

QUOTE(nobody#2 @ Mar 14 2011, 12:36 PM) personal opinion - if you really want to drive fast with Viva, better do more invest on the tires 1st.. ic.. what tires r u using btw QUOTE(earl-ku @ Mar 14 2011, 01:55 PM) LOL given the aerodynamic of the car which is pratically none ... with or without a spoiler for more downforce is no use ... alrite. i think i shd save my money for other useful stuff btw guys, our viva door (speaker slot) can fit what size (in ") speakers without the need to mod/add something? |

QUOTE(nobody#2 @ Mar 15 2011, 02:09 PM) tires - i'm using dunlop (don't know what model, is RM125/pc), size is 165/60/R13.. last time was R12 but forgot what size, tergelincir before, masuk longkang.. so change to wider tire.. one bad experience again, before i change the whole set of tires, i asked what is the max wide of the tire i can use, he said R13 max is 165.. and was told the Myvi original set of sport rim with tires not fit for this Viva (that time i have offer from my friend), but now some of the workshop told me can and the R13 can go for size 175  - forgot to tell - i don't drive fast with this Viva.. fear of masuk longkang again.. the 165 and 175 thing is the diameter of the wheel rite? if want better stability i thought should go for "wider" wheel? u do cornering at high speed is it? lol |

QUOTE(earl-ku @ Mar 15 2011, 04:22 PM) yeah standard to avoid turning issue or scraping the mud guards, 165 is best ... and yeah 165 is the wideness of the tyres ... my viva is on 165/55/15 thanks for the info.. i am using 165 too.. but 13" only (stock rim) QUOTE(nobody#2 @ Mar 15 2011, 04:31 PM) speed - about 60-70 km/h at that moment, cornering after exit the Tol at subang hicom after rain, was slowly slip into longkang.. haha.. normally max speed i drive is 90 km/h, when in hi-way max is 110 km/h.. wao.. hydroplaning |

QUOTE(eddmecha @ Mar 20 2011, 10:56 PM) @11796 n camel90 thanx...i will consult p2 on my 3rd service btw how much does it cost n how long need to wait for the stocks n how long does it took for the installation? Mine was under warranty so I do not know the price, as for the time I can't really remember but I know that I was waiting there until they finish it. |

QUOTE(izwanz @ Apr 28 2011, 06:55 PM) Guys, any ideas how much FC would it cost from KL to Penang? How's the long distance journey with Viva? 120km maintain okay? I'm thinking of getting a Vivaaaaaaaaaaaa I am driving 1.0 Manual. Every 27 litre (pump full tank after blinking) can give me between 420km to 500km (around 17km/litre) for city and highway. U do the math. |

QUOTE(izwanz @ Apr 28 2011, 09:15 PM) WOW! That's kinda impressive, I guess? How's your driving experience for long distance on a highway in a Viva? Mind sharing it with me please? How's the speed? Is it true that Viva will tend to 'shake/vibrate' when you reach certain speed? I am seriously interested in getting myself a Viva!  1. For me, driving for long distance is quite ok la.. just need to adjust to the correct seat angle and position 2. It doesn't shake or vibrate la.. just float like a boat only. i manage to reach 170km/h (4th gear) in MEX while going downhill =p |

QUOTE(earl-ku @ Apr 28 2011, 11:52 PM) i can hit 160 on the hw easily as well ... but then 170 is pushing it la ... i am heavy la ... but then again, floating like shit ... and before u hit that speed ... ask yourself can u stop it or not ... True. Need more time to stop, so only do it when it's safe.  |

QUOTE(WhiteWing @ Apr 29 2011, 11:18 AM) Even I hit 160km/h also didn't shake or vibrate. I manage to reach 180km/h on 4th gear last time  but alr history .. value your life  How much was ur RPM during 180km/h @ 4th gear? The car actually doesn't shake / vibrate when high-speed, but why are still people saying that it would?  |

QUOTE(peanut @ Apr 30 2011, 04:26 PM) Has any viva owner here encountered this bfr; 1) whole car shakes d most at 70 kmh whn braking frm 110 kmh with 2/3 brake pedal pressed down or juz pull ur handbrake at 60 kmh thn can feel d whole car vibrate dy (pull slowly so u wont lock d wheels) 2) knocking noise in 5th door / trunk door whn going over small bumps/ potholes? 3) ac sounds like its stuck at 2-4 fan speed. aiyo my viva haven 3 yrs old oledi so much problem. maintained by perodua sumore. change d whole set of rear brakes dy still vibrate. d knocking sound frm d trunk door since i bought d car and d aircon sounds like its stuck or sth juz 3 weeks ago. 1. Same as mine. High speed + hard braking = whole cabin vibrate (steering doesn't). Normal issue for small cars? Previously my steering vibrate when braking is due to t he disc not even, but the problem was solved. 2. It might be the tools (OEM tool bag) that hit something (for my case) 3. No idea.

QUOTE(tehcc @ May 3 2011, 12:46 AM) Hi Guys! My friend Viva air cond got some problem, but I not sure what is the problem. At morning and night driving, the air cond is very cold, even at the minimum temperature setting. But when driving under the sun, afternoon or evening, the air cond is not cold at all, the air blowing out are hot! can suggest some solution please? help! The hot air during afternoon drive is killing us. Thanks... Eh, i think most of the car also same. After parking under hot sun for > 30min.. surely became sauna 1. hence takes time for the whole car to be cold again. |
