is the glow plug suppose to appear every time or only when cold start ?

as far as i know with the new commonrail diesel system, because the pressure is so high and control is so accurate, the glowplugs aren't needed anymore unless the temp drops below -5 degrees.

I totally agree with you... I been in technical line so long and he try to use this trick on me... Swt...

haha...i'm juz guessing...u can bring to other more experienced mechanic lo...i think the jerking is normal coz if i'm not wrong i read bout this somewhere...majority are experiencing it...but if i'm wrong then something is very wrong with ur car liao lo... *fingers crossed*

jerk is normal!
it only happen in 1 to 2nd gear

if your car cant start and when you press the key to crank and all you hear is -----tskk tskk tskk..then your fuel pump gone.

It means your car is trying to start but no fuel going in so how to start? If battery - then just turn on your headlight see bright or weak. If its battery - u cant operate your alarm anyway

Dont think your car is brand new meaning fresh from factory. See your shipping slip when your car landed at the port. By the time its at the port > shipping yard > you ..it can take 5-6 months sitting/rotting doing nothing at the store yard

hmm.. did you guys send the car for 1000kms service or not required to send until 10000kms ?

not required. wait until 10k unless u want to change ur engine oil at ur own cost.

ok thanks!

regarding the battery, if you measure it after a drive, like going to the workshop, chances are the reading will be ok
once you leave it overnight or for a day or two, then the reading would be diff for batteries that is approaching EOL

battery issues in new car, though not common, is not unheard of
especially for CBU cars

Anyone know how to do the reading at my car?

everytime. but after warm up, you will notice the glow plug "indicator" disappear faster than cold start.

correct. mine doesn't even require to warm up. one crank terus up n go !

+1 because the alternator has almost fully charge the battery.

ah, he never reply my question. Or worst the immobilizer activated after a certain time frame making the car unable to start until they deactivated the immobilizer?

today i noticed a low pitch pulsating sound coming from rear wheel - sounds like wheel bearing worn out already .....

How much mileage have u done?

Again - check your shipping slip
if your car landed in Msia in Jan 2011 and you got yours in august 2011 - thats more than 6 months.
Plus i never trust oil that is put into factory. I dont know for sure 0-10K is SDAC or international standard.

Best is to have it changed at 1K mileage for peace of mind.

Before you change - DRIVE HARD!

that why I changed my oil during 1k but not in SDAC

then where u change?outside workshop?

at the workshop recommended by senior in FOMEC

milage <500kms, taking to SC today to check out the sound.

any luck with ur problem?still can't solve?

i am thinking of getting 1 too,,,,, what is the best discount?
