Hi all sifu,
I'm new to this thread.  smile.gif
I juz get my Viva Elite Ez last Saturday. Have few questions in my mind hope any sifu here can answer me  notworthy.gif

1. Perodua did not provide air filter for viva rite. Many forumers mentioned that air filter is a need for our car, so i planned to install it as well.
May i know how much if i buy it at perodua service center (during 1st service) ? Or can get cheaper if go for other accessories shop? Any brand recommend ?

2. My 1st full tank petrol only tahan 380km  sad.gif  (yesterday pump rm48) my fc is it acceptable since my car still new and haven't go for 1st service?
Beside that, 1 bar petrol only tahan about 35km  rclxub.gif is it normal?

3. I looking for carpet, last sunday went to Giant saw a standard car mat juz wondering the size is it too big for our cars  wink.gif
Any well suit carpet recommend? I did survey online viva custom make carpet cost about rm120  doh.gif

Thanks in advance for your answer  notworthy.gif

yes, u should rotate the tyres ...

there is 2 way to in changing the tyres ...

1. is that u use it until its really worn out(botak) then change the front ones only ...

2. u rotate them every 20k until all 4 worn out, then u change all 4 one go ...

After complaining to them regarding my car seat squeaking issue and i am not sure if they found the issue or not, and was only told to wait for spare part, and when i got it back to them last wednesday, they change the entire seat for me ...

was so happy that i got a brand new seat, till i got on and drove, the f***ing squeaking sound is still there with the new seat and its even worst now ...

*** niama ...

Squeaking? As in not comfortable or maybe they're stingy on the cottons in the seats itself? It's Perodua...

nope dont think this is the issue, i think now its the railing issue

QUOTE(l_berd @ Mar 15 2010, 10:15 AM)
the sound appear when you sat down or when the car move or turn or..?
*
its everywhere, get in and out, when car is moving, bumps, basically just sitting down itself makes it squeak

QUOTE(sau @ Mar 19 2010, 08:17 PM)
i had the same prob b4.. bunyi mase naik/turun bumper or sandar pd seat rite?

went to P2 SC, first solution they changed my seat track.. still bunyi..  vmad.gif

after 1 week i go complaint again..

2nd solution, they ketatkan skru kat seat tu.. then..... no more sound      icon_rolleyes.gif ..

LOL.. driver side seat track cost RM1999.00 if im not mistaken.. got it for free under warranty claim.. gahahahaha  brows.gif

*
woooow 2k ar ... then i guess how much is the total can when the seats itself is 2k a pop ...

problem is the screw is all tighten, seat changed, so it could be the railings, the think i dotn like is after 2 times back there, they some sort fixed, and now changed, they still fail to test it before passign the car back to me ... how hard is that to do? test it first la ...

the seat was like loose and u can really move the seats when u push it, so when i got it back with spanking new seats, i tot ok la. when i pushed it, it was exactly the same like my old seats ...

Hi there,

your problem seems abnormal, did you switch on the A/C left button on top of the air con control? There are 4 buttons.

I faced that problem the first day I got my car, I was driving it and the aircon never get cold, until my friend pressed that button.

I hope your air con will be fine cos driving in Malaysia is bad without air con
*
LOL!!!

Without pressing that button i think u would have died in there ...

I believe that button is definitely pressed la ...

its just the aircon unit is not powerful enough ... the cooling element is not big enough ...
