Anyway, regarding FC discussion.
Many of us say 'don't care' about FC anymore, so not bother to calculate. My opinion is actually by monitoring your car FC, you can know certain parts aging or not. Like older spark plug, clogged air filter, dirty fuel injector, carbonized engine internal, spoil O2 sensor.... Of course not to compare 'why my car FC is so high in city drive' this kind of sohigh question, but just monitor yourself and post here if you really feel something wrong about it. I do monitor and calculate FC every tank i refuel since i bought by car for 2.5 years now, nv skip once. Added on February 3, 2012, 5:25 pm QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Feb 3 2012, 05:15 PM) getting old, huh?

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Feb 16 2012, 06:39 PM) Engine oil - Ok. No traces of coolant. Not creamy/bubbly. Bro, last time your have accident, maybe something wrong when the mechanics assembling back the radiator... Coolant - Ok. No traces of engine oil. No smell of petrol Exhaust - Ok. No white smoke. Radiator - Ok. No spring-like coolant flowing out when engine is running, only coming out steadily. Fan - Ok. Spins relatively fast. So now, where is my coolant going? Leaks? Gotta have a look. Radiator was empty by the time I got home. PJ-Damansara, coolant gone. Hmm. |

Mine same la, clocked 60k now, no need fix it one...When im driving on highway speed above 90km/h can feel already. when aircon kick in, you will slightly felt a jerk (this is normal). but my case, I felt the jerk and also a sound (like "CIT", sound like the blow off sound). what i assume must be when the aircon kick in,the mechanical part on the fan make such noise. plan to have it rectified at my 20k service. another 2.5k to go.

QUOTE(dares @ Feb 21 2012, 10:48 AM) Updated No choice, SE price up, but plastic part still the cheapskate as BLM/FL, plus your absorber is hard... Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle yeah Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle yeah Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle yeah Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle yeah yeah Dashboard rattle man Door trim rattle man I'm a Saga and I know it So sure eh?.... See updated version above I can't!!!! Hope the P3-21A will be better because.....nothing True...Putrajaya is worse. You know I think the same thing. With the kind of ride the FLX SE has, god knows what's gonna fall apart soon. Since i got my car until now almost 2.5 years, i nv stop to fix those rattling issue by myself, i only can say, improve alot compare to stock, almost no rattling sound except extremely uneven road. Just can give you some hints if you want to DIY solve it. For dashboard, use sponge and insufflex...not to paste on it, is to find out by part by part knocking, then force insert those material into the narrow empty space... Also the center console, if you press with your finger, you will hear 'nyek nyek' contact noise, this is due to direct contact between two different plastic, this one have to dismantle and stick the clear tape on the edge to isolate the edge from directly contacting. For door, deadening is the only effective way to solve it. This weekend if i got time i will post some snap shot the location i insert those insufflex/sponge into the dashboard. |

QUOTE(ericmaxman @ Feb 24 2012, 10:53 AM) the damn blm was also used I still think that your case is isolated and because your car had accident before. like i said, some older cars are built to last, not modern cars these days.. 10 years? tough luck.. see the civic from the 90s, they can yield 300k km or more with proper maintenance.. i doubt that the blm can even last 250k before something goes terribly wrong... once bitten, twice shy. this overheating problem will lead to more problems in the future.. once i have enough savings, i'm saying goodbye to this car.. maybe thats why ppl shy away from proton..it all boils down to your luck. if u lucky, ur car would be relatively trouble free.. since i am not so lucky, if and when i change, how can i ensure that i wont be pushing my luck again? simple, by not choosing proton..sure u may argue that other brands have their lemons as well, but to me, enough is enough.. since you mentioned spare parts and availability, have u been to the numerous half cut shops scattered throughout kl? thats a lot of parts for jdm and continental cars.. at least the quality of their used parts are still better than our local quality spare parts.. Well, they could fix/repair/change it no problem 'initially', but something might hiding and symptom only appear now. Maybe engine block got some hair line crack due to that collision, initially no problem, but now become a problem? Who knows, but you will never know. |
