The air cond gas (what is it, freon?) leaked edi. Find the leak, patch it and refill the gas.

Actually, you should take it to a trusted mechanic and ask them for inspection. Never know what else might have gone wrong. When they inspect and repair, you better sit there and watch them work. Kinda hard to trust people, these days.

OIC. Do you know the standard price to refill the aircond gas? Also i'm worried if sealing back the leak gonna cost alot

Sorry. Never done before, so don't know price.

try shift the gear without letting go the fuel pedal while pressing the clutch.

mr_alien,

getting 400km at sabah is really good, I'm from sabah too and heck wanting to try at 80 - 90Km/h is difficult if I'm using light foot only. Letting the car shift at 2 - 2.2k rpm only gets me to 70km/h before there is slow car/traffic jam/traffic light infront.

Share some tips to improve FC mr_alien

I'm still aiming for a higher millage >260km for RM50. Does the IAFM opened at 80km/h or 85km/h?
I've always pumped my tyre 29 for rear and 31 for front (standard) but currently I'm adding 1 psi to the rear now (29->30) to see any improvement on the FC

i refilled dam long ago that time it was Rm30,sealing the leak should not cause much unless the guy wants to con you saying other stuff spoiled like bro +Newbie+ said.ask around for a good mechanic last time when i changed my compressor the guy con me,telling it is a good one but not even one month it spoiled again,later i brought to another mechanic and found out the guy deliberately didn't fit in something(forgot what).

-removed-

found out how edi

Added on June 24, 2011, 12:18 pmwhich part of sabah are u from actually??
mine always 80-90KM/H...sometime over 100KM/H
the IAFM opens at 80KM/H....maintain 85KM/H is best to prevent it from closing

bro, i think its better to say IAFM open from 2000-3000rpm, rather than speed.

Later ppl try 3rd gear 80km/h then u know

i revved so many times 2-3k...never heard IAFM open be4
always is 80KM/H...i heard it open....never lower

and abt FC...my car is acting quiet weird
i filled RM40 since left 2 and half bar...mind u it's not full/vomit.....until today...100KM still the 1st bar haven't drop
this is the 2nd time in the 70k KM...this has ever happen
the 1st time is a long long time ago
usually is 40-50+KM...the 1st bar will drop already...eventhough filled till full

aiya... 3rd gear can reach 80kmh sap sap sui la.. if no traffic light la.. cruise on down the road..

KK area...i'll try 85km/h this time for 2 rounds of pump to see if there is any difference
should i pump 220kpa for rear and front to see if it helps? my rear is 200 while front is 210
btw what brand of fuel u use if u don't mind to share?
For those blm drivers that have low FC, would you mind stating your brand of petrol too so that we could analyze which is better for our cars
So far Shell doesn't perform well for me

Suggestion....Try different petrol stations,even though they are of the same supplier brand...yu might find one with a difference...Good Luck!

ps. I've been using Petronas 95 Xtra...different towns, different stations...so far so good...

try 220 front 200 rear
and yes...shell really sucks
try using esso....or the new petronas also can
i give up shell since RON95 released

but IAFM close liao ma

i think for rear 200 and front 220 is enough..too high your tyre will wear uneven in the middle area and less grip too, too low your tyre will wear more on the outer side...

usually in the rear u dun need high pressure because, you dont carry people behind all the time, but in front, you have engine and a driver, so front need higher pressure than rear

Yup, me, too!
Was using Shell V-Power when there was NO RON95... and it was really VERY good! Didn't mind paying the 10...even 20 sen/L xtra for it then!!

However, not any more now...Shell VPower same as any RON97. And was RM1 more to pay!! No way!!

anyone using K&N filter?`

Happened again!

am using it
