hi all, is that normal that the fc reading goes up easily but very hard to go back down?? my fc initially 7.5-8.1l/100km, went up to 9.5l/km after stop and go jam, but today no jam still around 9.3l/km....

I think it depends on the sampling size also.

I think you need to reset the trip meter. Usually the car calculates the rate for current trip.

+1... The reason why some of you guys get high fc reading may be due to this. You need to reset the data everytime you pump petrol.

u have to understand that the units involved in FC calculation is distance covered and fuel consumed quantity. if u drive longer in start-stop traffic and shorter in no traffic condition, u still get FC a bit on higher side. u can always reset it to get more accurate reading.

pssst: any of you fofi owners change to HID??

I will change my foglamps to 8000k latest by this friday.

Guys,

I'm interested to get Focus Ghia 1.8 2nd hand. It's selling around 50k for 2008 car.

Wonder why it is so cheap? Any major issue for this batch?
Any idea on the maintenance cost, spare part and FC?

Thanks.

focus is cold car that why second unit very cheap. maintenance abit high , spare part surely very costly if u went to SC .Join the club then surely many can help u .

thanks.
how high is high for the maintenance and spare parts?
how about FC? For 1.8 engine, i expect 8-9litre/100km?

OK.. I think i will go for Fiesta... but how about the spare part price? Any one from here make up any services before after 3 years warranty?

8-9km/litre is impossible unless u are doing highway, the FC for the 1.8 is quite bad ( Around 11-12km/litre for city driving ).. don't forget this is a very heavy car for its class

ooh.. are you going to use any branded brands or those normal ones?

i used to have those cheapo RM150 ones but then it lasted for like 3 years instead

where are you going to change? headlights going to change?

It's liter per 100km. Not km per liter. XD

Headlights not changing la... no projector also. Later kena JPJ. However I'm using Michiba super white 4350k bulbs now... Although it doesn't look super white, but its a bit brighter la...

Still contemplating whether to buy cheap or branded ones... Cheap ones I can get from 140-170 including installation, branded is 220... both also got warranty. Any ideas?

Hello guys, haha just picked up mine today at SDAC Jln Ipoh. just got one issue, do I have to reset the DTE or something ? because its stuck at 195km..

Anyone can tell me the interest rates for fiesta?

LOL... i once had the Michiba on my old car. hehe.. i do wanna try out those funky new +80% lights but then no hurry la lol... i think the lights are bright enough though i'd prefer HIDs + Projectors

only RM50 diff, get the more expensive ones would give you more peace of mind i guess

I think there's nothing wrong with my measurement, for example your FC is 6.6litre/100km that means 15.15km/litre of fuel

He was asking 8-9 liter per 100km (or 11.1km-12.5km per liter) and you were quoting 8-9km per liter. There's some sort of disconnect there.

The "8-9km/litre is impossible unless u are doing highway" sounds a bit off unless the measurements were swapped into per 100 liters which makes more sense.
