Mine is usually set 1-2 notches left of 25 (indicating 23-24degrees lo)...

But the setting may not be the same as per 1.8... as setting the dial to the same position in 2.0 will not result as the same coldness.... i have tried it for 1.8, to get same coldness as mine, u need to put the dial all the way to 9pm position (20 degrees in the pic above)...

Try it and feedback....

I see, i always been putting at 9pm or lower position for my a/c maybe that's why it feel satisfactory...

Hmmmm...could it be the cooling coil used is different in 1.8 and 2.0?

Anyway I'm surprised to come across this article...

http://star-motoring.com/News/2011/Proton-...iable-cars.aspx

Proton is the 5th most reliable car manufacturer behind Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissan. Studies is done by Direct Line Breakdown, a UK company i think.

I think that 0--10--20 meter changes depending on how much you open your throttle and how much petrol your ECU decides to inject if I'm not wrong. I've changed my meter to show mileage in KM/L, so for mine it shows 0--10--20--30--40, and it's very obvious that if I keep it hovering between 10-20 by being lighter on my pedal, my FC for that duration will read somewhere between 10-20km/l. If i'm more aggressive, or hit more lights, jams and bumps, naturally I need to depress my pedal more, so it usually drops below 10, and my FC will also drop below 10 on average. From my observation, I think it shows the actual LIVE calculation of fuel usage/efficiency. I guess those numbers are as the readings are being taken. If I coast down a hill without stepping on any pedals, it crosses 40. If I idle, it drops to 0. If I'm going at 30kmh, and floor the pedal, it drops to near 0 too.

Ooo...that reading would be better...how do you set that?

Rattling sound may come from the glovebox, try adding some foam pads or rubber stoppers at the areas where the sides can hit the body.... and also ensure the damper at the left side is securely fixed.... i recalled Snowfish's car didnt come with that.... make sure you have yours...
As for Papago, continue to use X5SE, its the most stable and fast compared to X6 and X7.... and has the latest map from Malfreemap, which is updated every 2 weeks.... you dont need to updated the maps that frequently, i do mine every 3 months ++... The latest map update form Malfreemap was 2nd Aug 2011 (Garmin map was updated 1st Aug 2011)...

X8 dont have the latest map as it uses Android based maps (R51, unlike X5Se uses R21) maps, it uses map last updated in April 2011, and next update will be in Sept 2011. Apart from the interface being diff, the map is exactly the same as X5SE, so there is no reason to use it over X5SE...

Oh ya, the route re-calculation in X8 is faster, but by one or two seconds compared to X5SE...

ADD-ON: It's called Papago! ONE on the screen of X8....  nod.gif  nod.gif

Yeap mine don't have. when i went to the SC at 7.30 the boss already standby with the damper in the box, within 5 mins gao dim. In the end, I reach 1 hour earlier than usual lol rclxub.gif and balik still same time.

Btw, anyone can answer me about the radio question? (My mix fm channel always show breakfast with JD and dilly 6-10am even though its already midnight). And, is the default angle for the antenna optimum? These few days i guess hissing sound when i use the tuner....wondering is it the weather or my HU is working up... shakehead.gif

How to change to 0-10-20-30-40??? I only see 0-10-20???

Rax gave me the solution thru pm. Basically when your car is in parked gear, Press that info button until you reach settings, then change your unit to km/l (got l/100km, km/l, mpg etc.) for u to choose.
Settings menu is only available when ur car is parked.

This, does not make sense to me. Unless there is a huge different between both fuel, fuel causes knocking sound does not sound right to me

I'm using R95 petronas, so far no problem with my 1.8cvt.
Petrol station dependent?
