blush.gif after consider sooo sooo long, finally, i get myself a new pair of original bosch headlamps. no regrets! brightness are much better than after market audi /bmw style... =) good choice i made.. haha
\anyway, after consult our brother linage, i switch to Q8 10W40 from mobile 10W40! WOW!!! no regrets!!! supreme acceleration n fuel saving.. my car can only run around 6.5+-km/L lastime, but with tis Q8, i manage to get 10.9km/L from Klang-perak(average speed 140km/h, max 165km/h), 9.7km/L for city + highway! =) omg!! i'm in love with tis engine oil.. haha.. =)

"edit" i drive like a mad man blush.gif seriously, i'm gonna hold back my top overhaul plan becoz of tis 10W40 Q8 brows.gif

Oh. Urs is the same spec as mine. One cost 175. Kruizer is meant for highway drive. I believe the silicone compound is the one that give its grip on wet surface.

hi Sifuz,

I need your advice. Am currently driving a 1.5GL ..
early this year i changed my rims to a 195/55/15.. and recently, i noticed that each time i fetch ppl at the back, the spacing between my wheel and the wheel arch is only 1finger.. if 2 bigger size passengers sit, even without moving, you will know it'll surely scrap the arch if on the move d.

So now, i'm thinking of changing my rear springs & abs as it's been a while d.. went to the shop, the guy recommended me to change front and rear to 1.6's springs. said is stiffer..

But what i read is that if 1.5GL use 1.6 front springs & abs, the front will be higher as the engine is lighter than 1.6.. I duwan my car too high though :S

So now i'm having a dilemma,
1. sud i change front to 1.6 springs?
2. rear 1.6 springs more stiffer but same height, is it true?

Or can you guys tell me ur experience and what springs you use to overcome this issue?

Budget is normal springs, fren suggested adjustables, but too exp :S
Thanks sifuz !

IF U ARE INTERESTED, i m letting go my adjustable.. blush.gif

haha, an advice to u, if u drive in kl.. try to make sure that ur fuel lvl is always 1 bar above, in case jam n u stuck in the middle of road due to run out of petrol laugh.gif anyway.. i got the same thinking with u.. i thought wira only 40L.. haha.. but suprisingly it was 50L @_@" rclxub.gif

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Nov 23 2011, 12:33 PM)
Next time try go 'just' below that lowest line to see if low fuel indicator lights up ?
hmm.gif

Wira is 50L tank.

I used to drive until low-fuel lights always on. Then refill between 39L-45L.
Can go 460km in KL city centre driving most of the time. If highway, 490-510.

but when i drive in city, i only manage to get 6.1km/L...

hi guys,

Q8 semi-syn 10w40 or Eneos (Semi Synthetic) SM/CF 10W40 where to buy qenuine in KL? How much is the pricing? i heard alot of fake oil merchant. I need do to servicing soon.

Im a wira 1.5L Auto sedan driver. Year of manufacture 2000 iinm but recently i encounter gearbox problem when during early morning or cold mode whereby slow response between 2 to 3 gears. Its like gear not shifting but the rpm rev until 2~3k. Its delay shifting about 3 sec. after that, its shifting as usual.

Back in years May 2010 i encounter GB problem also whereby its wont shift gear from 2~3. Getting worst day by day. All foremen said gearbox problem but when i decided to change gearbox the day it run fine. Therefore the foremen said try change back to original ATF and new filter which last me about 1.5 years until last week i decided to change ATF oil again but it wont solve the problem i encounter when GB in cold mode but slightly better in response. The delay is shorten by 1 sec. This time i use Toyota T-IV atf oil as requested by me.
*

if u confirm wan genuine oil, get them at enous center.. But, I can confirm that, u will have to pay more.. Haha.. I m selling q8, if u are interested, pm me laugh.gif

need to check your radiator fan first. Because when driving at high rpm, engine will be hotter than usual. When ECU detected higher temperature than normal, it will cut off aircon compressor. Sometimes it cause by waterpump also.
*
oo ya, 2 years ago, i changed timing belt, n bearing but forget to change water pump.. ><" so somehow it is ok when i din not drive till 4k rpm.. when i was in 140km/L, my rpm is around 4k d.. i think should be water pump issue.. coz if ECU problem, how come lastime dint not happen rite??

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Nov 24 2011, 03:46 PM)
For old car, my mechanic advise not to use semi/full synthetic oil. Stick to mineral. As it is less chance for it to get into combustion chamber and 'eat oil'

After top overhaul, then he says ok to switch back to semi/full.

Not sure on the truthfulness though  hmm.gif
*
ya dad advise me to use mineral too.. but i tried once, pick up lousy, n fc become worst, so.. i still using semi eventhough i nit to top up engine oil quite often..
