QUOTE(sevendogz @ Oct 8 2011, 05:09 PM) How far you can go for a full tank? what i'm trying to say here is that the fc is still the same after repair, the amount of fuel is still there, juz that the fuel meter not working properly or not that accurate anymore |

The first advice I got from the technician from SDAC when I talked to them is "DON'T MESS WITH THE WIRING AND ELECTRONIC STUFF". Got lots of problem later if we do...

not all SDAC technician are good, maybe they messed up your settings. You see, when I asked the supervisor about the installation of fog light to my sedan, he don't recommend it because the electronic settings is problematic if not done 100% correct.

[quote=gahpadu,Sep 19 2011, 03:02 PM] turbo lag is normal..sprint booster can help to overcome that matter. petrol got better top speed but the important is how fast it can be achieve diesel vs petrol 134hp vs 145hp 320Nm vs 185Nm numbers dont lie.. Added on September 19, 2011, 3:04 pm Installed sprint booster will be no more turbo lag? coz i feel that the lag some times will be dangerous and cause uncomfortable to the passenger. those tcdi all already get used to the turbo lag? going to test drive the petrol type...and soon will be in the league too either is diesel or petrol....... [/quote] i think its the TRACTION CONTROL working when u have turbo lag, did u press on the accelerator softly or u tekan saja... i am not sure but i know there is away to turn tat off and try... still waiting for mine my focus... hopefully i will get it by next week... |

Finally surpassed the Ford Fiesta's fuel efficiency standard!
QUOTE("Ford SDAC") With the combination of 6 speed dual clutch transmission (PowerShift®), twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) Ford Fiesta will have an estimate fuel consumption of 5.9L to a 100 kilometers. 42 liter fuel tank will enable a travel distance of 700 kms. 100km/5.9ltr = 16.95 km/ltr 700km/42ltr = 16.67 km/ltr CODE Distance Traveled (km): 603.1 km Fuel Consumed (Liter): 34.253 liters Consumption Value (RM): RM 65.08 Distance per Liter (KM/Ltr): 17.607 km/ltr Cost per Km (RM/KM): RM 0.108/km Liter per 100 KM (Ltr/100 KM): 5.679 ltr/km Drove as I normally do daily. Only difference is that I took a different route home via USJ toll once I reached the MUFORS overhead restaurant (ELITE Highway) that was slightly longer but less hilly compared to driving straight to Putra Heights toll. I guess the many long uphill climbs is the main factor that pulls down my FC. |

Excerpts from The Star business section today.
QUOTE Severe Thai flooding forces Toyota, Honda, Isuzu and Ford to stop ops Vehicle plants operated by Toyota, Honda, Isuzu and Ford in Thailand have been closed due to the crisis.... ...Sime Darby Auto Connexion, the distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, said in a statement: “Our production facilities are located in Rayong which is not affected by the floods. However, as some suppliers operating in Ayutthaya have been affected, production at the AutoAlliance Thailand (AAT) plant was suspended on Tuesday for 48 hours to make a full assessment of inventory and logistics continuity.” The AAT plant is a joint venture between Mazda Motor Corp and Ford Motor Co. Models retailed in Malaysia such as the Mazda2 and Ford Fiesta compact cars are produced at AAT. Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Isuzu Malaysia said the company's assembly operations for pick-up and commercial trucks in Pekan, Pahang may be affected eventually... http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?f...67&sec=business |
