Last time I tried Petronas, a little bit powerful, but no mileage improvement. Then again my first and last, thanks to some Indon hired by that el-cheapo station. Asked for full tank (knowing my car can go beyond RM 60) with RM 50 at the cashier, they gave me RM 50 worth of fuel only. Had to screw them in front of so many ppl. "Tak paham apa tu full tank kah...?" They purposely limit me to RM 50 because they takut I run away with the excess. No more f***ing Petronas for me. Went back to Esso/Mobil.  whistling.gif

Now trying BHP since many ppl claimed there's improvement on mileage, some more now got contest until Nov... brows.gif

Baru first time try. Before filling with BHP, was with Esso. Previous tank did 420km with 106km range left. Just refill, did 386km with 186km range left. Not a good comparison yet coz 80% city drive, 20% highway. Previous tank 95% and 5% respectively. Have to wait until the car comes back, refill a few round baru tau... brows.gif Car masuk kilang again tomorrow... doh.gif

Ur Alza is very petrol saving, mine average only 450km nowadays, always drive like bull brows.gif

Some say use a bigger size battery it would help and the battery will not damage so easily. I have tried this with the previous car. But now I am not sure what size can be use for Alza?

change bigger help in? blink.gif

I don't know much about electrical, so the terms I use here might not be correct but just to illustrate on what I learn from mechanics.

If our Alza needs 1000mAh each time we turn on the car engine, and the battery we use is just 1100mAh, then the battery lifespan will be very short. Because we have only 100mAh buffer. So if we turn on the aircon to full one day, charge something, or for whatever reasons used very close to 1100mAh, it kind of reduces the battery's lifespan.

But, if we put in a 1300mAh battery, then we hardly strain/stress the battery since we cannot reach the limit. The 300mAh buffer is more than sufficient to cover all our needs. Hence, the battery will last longer.

However, the issue is different battery capacity has different sizes. I don't know what size can fit into our Alza.

Aiya, 450km is very good already la. Not yet a bull, maybe a calf. I'm the real bull. I hardly reach 400km. Just something close to 400km, maybe +/- 380km. But the thing is, only sometimes I hit until 3000rpm going uphill. Most of the time on 2000rpm only. I cannot figure out why my mileage so low.

Might be you need to try other petrol? brows.gif

QUOTE(Eithanius @ Sep 26 2011, 03:24 PM)
How you guys measure...? Refill to refill...? How much of range left...?  blink.gif

Me average 420km city drive if range down to about 100km, and I don't think it will go for another 100km. I've tried asking P2 guys to see how far can they go, they don't even know... My max was 463km...
Anyway, just came back from service, my car tak jadi masuk kilang coz no replacement car for me. Have to wait until they're available... rclxub.gif

Damn sien lar see this piece of trash. Everytime have to take leave, waste time go service center and show them all the problems.
*
is rite this

When u pump full oledi, reset the meter and run. On the second pump, use the mileage and divide with petrol you just pump. E.g. Ur mileage recorded for the first pump is 400km. On second pump you fill 35 litre. Use this 400km divide by 35 litre and times 42 litre. Why? Becoz you just use this 35 litre to run 400km. Times 42 litre shall be the full tank petrol consumption. brows.gif

What's the point of "times 42 litre"...?  rclxub.gif

Anyway, normal plugs and iridium plugs don't seem to have any performance differences, not even a noticeable one. Just installed it today when servicing my car.

Alza tangki is 42 litre brows.gif

No performance difference, just you save in the long run brows.gif

who summons me? tongue.gif

will update the front page later regarding aircon kick in issues and the solution - Voltage Stabilizer brows.gif

Other problems like steering vibrate on cornering/uneven road, you'll have to live with it. I read Alza forum long time ago the problem still persist even after change new steering rack at SC/ changing to quiet tyres. If you found a solution, remember to share with us brows.gif

Dashboard rattling, just DIY and put some sponge in between those gap.. SC won't care 1 lar...

Front Driver Cabin room Lights Cover? The 2 light in front right?

Use a testpen, let choose the right side .. insert the testpen in between 2 covers but touching the right side.

then use a little bit of force like open milo can.

Found the solution for the wind noise on the side mirror! brows.gif

The culprit is the rubber line near the side mirror pops up a gap for the wind to flow in. I seal it with masking tape and so far no wind noise when speeding at 140kph brows.gif

If any member found this DOESN'T work for you, please report in tongue.gif

mah like that lor... grumble.gif

Went to Penang for 2 nites, came back yesterday... On highway, the car engine is noisy as hell beyond 110kph... this must be due to the fact that I'm on quiet tyres now, so engine noise is more protruding...

And this piece of shit really underpowered with 4 ppl on board and some luggages. Passing by Menora tunnel towards Kuala Kangsar, going uphill was hard that I had to keep to the leftmost lane climbing slowly like a big ass trailer. I cannot bear to see this car going up Genting with the same amount of load...

Otherwise driving around Penang has been comfy, partly due to the new tyres and Autofoam. With 4 ppl onboard, it feels like driving a Camry minus the luxuries... The only problem with Penang is most of the roads there are coarse...

Acceleration on highway still getting that jerkiness and judder - very disturbing, I suspect it could be the air-cond compressor kicking in, but as long as the engine's loud, I can't discern the kick-in sound.

Good to hear that, try play around with different petrol brand and I believe the engine noise can be reduced brows.gif

I've read somewhere that petrol brand is not as effective as engine oil brands when it comes to addressing engine noise...

true. at the same time we won't want to let go the engine warranty unless we have special contact to make the warranty valid brows.gif

So far my research for petrol (For new and clean petrol station):
Bull drive, Petronas and BHP less noisy
Gentlemen drive, Caltex is the most quiet

Caltex is noisy for Bull drive becoz under power, we need to keep on pressing the pedal brows.gif

n8210 is right, it never ends but for a perfectionist like Eithanius and me, it counts brows.gif
