Not that loud la. Sudden power surge? Haha, maybe that time your aircon compressor disengage, then you suddenly feel the power. This is not V-Tech la.

I think the IAFM is abit cacat one, i also sometimes can hear, sometimes cannot. Especially if I rev the engine >4k for certain period, most probably i will heard it afterward, this lead me to believe the IAFM valve is stuck sometimes.

lol .. i honestly never notice any aeroplane sound before, but I definitely feel more power after 3K RPM. And if I can discipline myself to stay under 3K RPM when I drive, my fuel consumption improves drastically.

mine very weird to be honest. IAFM on mine "seems" to open between 2200rpm and 3000rpm. sometimes, the rpm climbs like mad, but drops again.. wtf?

and my first tank of petrol gone liao~

1 tank for 292.1km? You sure got a heavy right foot

>_<" must...control...

Your car still new , lets break-in 1st, and wait for few service then your FC will definitely improve one.

may i open V12? xshiro tak tau pi mana edi wor~

omg~ and so it seems

tires needs to be replaced.

iafm opens around when >2.8k

Eh? It's a secondhand car Already broken in long ago liao

But right foot control is still important

you dun understand what i mean meh? open all the spoiler, is all in one sentence la.

1) How old are the tires? But then again, second hand, not surprising I guess.

2) Your rev going up and down on the 2K to 3K RPM is probably due to your car switching between 1st and 2nd gear.

3) That mileage you posted, when you started, was it a confirmed full tank? Did you fill it in yourself? If not, you can try following the formula:-
a) Fill full tank
b) Reset odometer
c) Drive normally until your normal refueling point.
d) Refill full tank
e) Make a note of how much you refill and how much your mileage at refill. This will be the basis of your calculation of fuel consumption
f) Repeat steps (b) to (e) at least 3 times to get an average.

Always stick to the above formula for FC calculations.
Always use km/l to make your fuel calculations, NOT cents/km because fuel prices fluctuate, rendering previous calculations obsolete.

4) If the FC is a concern to you, make a point to:-
a) Control your right foot. Try to keep revs under 3K.
b) Always keep your tire pressure optimum. You can find the tire pressure guide sticker in the driver side, rear passenger door frame.
c) Plan your trips and avoid traffic jams whenever possible.

Congratulations on your new car. Overall, I'm happy with my car and I hope that you'll be happy with yours. Good luck and hope you stay happy with it.

Hmm, his car is manual.

Oh. I think I get it now

Go SC and ask them to reset the previous owner campro setting.

how is that done?

blm power is more obvious after 2.2k rpm,

by the way, just done my 70k km service, cost me RM160..

using BP visco 3000

1) came new with the car i guess. 2009 tires.
2) Mine's manual worr
3) Confirmed full tank. 32L if I was not mistaken.
4) Noted i blame my right foot

Just get new car sure vr hard to resist the temptation of harassing your oil pedal

T_T price of petrol not cheap
