about the fan spinning even you turn off the engine...is because the engine is operating above the recommended temperature....i guess you didnt wait for the radiator water to drop and wait for all the trap bubbles appear and fill in until full......last time i do have the same problem also...fill in fully in the radiator but did not know inside still got air trap inside...so as the air goes out the water level drop causes the temperature to rise thus cause the engine operating extreme hot that is why the fan spins.....do check on the coolant level to see if it drops or not after few days of driving.

oh same coolant eh? hahaha.. ok ok. didnt realise it. good stuffs been using toyota long life coolant in my previous ride... cooling down is faster.

usually brake pad bedding in needs about few hundred KM following strict procedures that ermm... i lazy to type la... google it. hahaha.... so since we just drive more less normally everyday..... i discovered that it needs about a couple k KM to really bed in. I am using Trestor Advantage. Nice

I see, no wonder the mechanics asked me to check the water level on the next morning which i forgot to check it

Yea if wanna maintain more less stock internals etc.... light pressure turbo will be alright. and ermm.... cost factor to add this would be a factor. hahahaha.....

Added on April 14, 2010, 11:48 amjust make sure when u refill it with water... the coolant is not too over diluted already. cuz u might need to add more coolant instead of water. and ermm..... i prefer FILTERED water cuz you know la, our tap water contains a lot of unseen crap. Filtered water is better.

Hi, just want to ask..sometimes my persona m-line will have this "plup plup plup" sound..Not sure it coming from behind or front..

Anyone experience this before?

i think u better check your radiator water level..... i guess

filtered water is not safe enough as it still contain minerals.You need distilled water.

use battery water better.

yes you are 100% correct. i wanted to mentioned that earlier but i cant think of the word and was at work.... "busy". hahahahaha

thanks for adding that.

means? lasttime edi got problem?

be sure to keep an eye for these few days to fill in the water.....or best is morning start your engine and open the radiator cap to let the trapped air go out..then slowly fill in the water...

Just want to ask, the fuel light on, we can still go how many km? if really no fuel the fuel light will blink or stay on?
now on my 3rd tank after getting my car. reading at meter 7.4km /l (not sure accurate or not)

Not accurate at all, Mine now clock at 18l/100km

i alway reset it to 0l /100km when refuel. about the fuel light anyone got more input regarding it?

i tested once. Usually the indicator will turned on when the estimated fuel left is around 60 - 70km. I tried to drive around 30 - 40km more, the meter still showed that i got 40 - 50km left to travel, until suddenly the number turned "---" and started blinking. Then i panicked

But of course, u could dare drive your car till the ECU cut off your engine when almost out of fuel to calculate the mileage accurately

any SA can verify when the H-Line will release and ready to deliver to buyer?

according to the booklet, once the light comes up, there should still be 8 liters of fuel which i find it quite accurate. so if you can travel say 11km/l, 8 liter gives you another roughly 80km before the tank really dries up.
again, ppl dont read the booklet...

it still the same.battery water is distilled water actually.anyone see the new Persona Enhanced on the road ?

Key plugged into ignition hole. Twist to on. Hear the fuel pump operating for about 2 seconds. Twist to engine start.

Do you guys actually do this? Or just key plug in, immediately twist all the way to start engine without waiting.

Some said need to wait for 2-3 seconds before starting to lengthen the fuel pump lifespan or somesort...

Fact Or Myth?

I am not sure about that,normally for me I will wait for a few seconds till all the indicator lights are off except for the handbrake and can't remember which light,then turn to ignition.
