something to share.. really feel the OMPHH!! day after day driving a gti. the feel of power and handling of the car..no regret paying so much for it. how u guys feel???

guys, im driving polo and here is my FC

RM80 full tank can run only 500km.. is it normal or consider hi?? i run till the petrol no bar at all..
then i pump rm50.. i got 3/4 of fuel, run 100km only 1/2 tank and i know from 1/2 to empty tank usually damn fast.. and i expected around 200+km.. polo should be 5.9l/100km on life test. hope nothing wrong with my car

How 'run in' is your car? If it's pretty new, I wouldn't be too concerned if the FC doesn't meet your expectations. Reevaluate again after the 1st or 2nd service when the car has settled down somewhat.

What you pump? RON 97?

is only 2 weeks old? quite disappointed with the FC tho..

hi bro,

my polo is 4 months old,
FC around 480-550 per tank , (depends on city/highway driving and how often i catch in jam).
give ur baby more time, you will get better FC. ofcause only if you have a light foot. mostly i refill when i saw the empty light "on" think around RM70-75
hope this help.

Pump Ron95 can already

Now Ron97 is so expensive

very bad ler the FC... worse than Vios 1.5
if it's polo 1.2, should be better.
Vios for RM70 can go 520KM with RON95. around 37litres petrol.

Hi,

I have been driving my POLO about 5 months. My FC with Full Tank RM80, can run for about 570km in highway and Jam. I have ever drove to Ipoh once, the FC is great can run to 700km.

typical...want to drive twincharged car..but complain about FC.

You want to keep good FC? u will have to keep in the sweet spot of 2500-3500rpm, after that the turbo will kick in and your FC goes to hell

Dun start/stop, brake well in advance if u see traffic slowing down ahead, coast and then smoothly accelerate again

try for 1 week....make sure u do not pass 3500-3800rpm, always be in 7th gear and NO overtaking/braking/aggressive maneuvers

and btw..if u are a smooth driver should use ron97, the fuel savings can offset the cost of the more expensive petrol and u get a better drive

FC is almost always due to the right foot of driver, very rare to be the vehicles problem

Hi brother Yan

Did you just PPS your car or did you also do the interior detailing?

i did the PPS only. Din do the interior as dun think is necessary since my seats are not leather. I'm planning to do steam-jet treatment from one of the car wash in 1Utama for the interior esp the fabric...

KL-Ipoh 2 ways X 2 times? that will make up around 900KM of distance? Impressive man

If you have driven it for less than 5k km, your FC isn't at its optimum yet. I have finally passed the 8k km mark and my FC is getting better! Used to push only 550km on a full tank and now slowly reaching 600km.

Great info. But don't understand what the news paper said

I love your viva statement

Actually even the Viva's FC isn't that fantastic as compared to some of the hybrids around. This is taking into account the cost per km that is. But yeah, what Yan said is true, its not meant for you to get like 1000km on a full tank, its for you to get 500+km per full tank BUT with the ability to smoke some other cars

Does anyone here mod your car before at Exotic mod? How's their workman ship? Any review for the following workshop? I found that their price quite steep. btw is there any china (Fake) Golf R led on market ?

i got my DRL lights and golf r leds from exoticmods.
exhaust and bodykit next
