Haven bought those cleaning kit for my K&N air filter, so last Saturday decided to clean filter using airgun after unclean for >20k km adi...
Since clean job is FOC, so i went to 2 shops to clean it, do double cleaning.
Wow, the difference is so huge, now the pedal feel alot more responsive and lighter....

Wanna raise some discussion on after market air filter.

Some said those good air flow filters are actually poor in filtration,
so last week i did some checking on the air box.

I using my hand to rub the internal of upper air box and the air hose (after filter), i din notice any dirt on my hand, what i get is as clean as original. I have been using this K&N since 20k, now almost used for 45k adi.

I read the article for filtration performance thread posted by someone here previously, the high pressure air suction to test the filter. I think Apexi is the best for that test.

Anyway, i doubt about those testing method. IMO, our engine air suction actually is not as strong as in that test, so for particle to pass through filter still very minimal, proved by my checking result. What i'm thinking is for after-filter airbox/airhose area, new car until now 63k, i din clean it/wipe it even once, if the particle still can pass through (even very less), sure it will left a black mark on my hand, but it didn't.

So i think best airflow = poor filtration theory is not valid in real world application. Just my thought, you can share your opinion if any.

Check throttle body, not airbox.

And also, depends on where you driving, and driving style. If you like to rev, dirt will accumulate more, since you're sucking in more air than usual.

I could do without the drama on this thread day in and day out.

Today gonna test drive the Preve

did u know that we can enable or disable the alarm beep?
to do that press both button on the key at the same time to enable/disable.

at service centre they like to hear beep coz it's easier for them, unless they just trigger the alarm to find the car

hi wanna ask. any dealer can get saga blm se? or blm?. new?.i saw now only flx.

Did you engage R soon after starting the engine? did you wait 30secs - 1 minute for it to warm up?

ur fc quite good nowadays huh

on all radio station or for certain only? i hv bad reception on my fav radio station at certain location only. other stations is ok

No one else wanna collect their door seal kah?

fuzzy and david not attending. the only one left is r3apers

actually the car was start for quite sometimes then only i reach to a parking n i think it will be no effect, if i was immediately hit the gas after turning to reverse gear right? of might be timing problem coz i also notice when i start the car without turn on the aircond my timing is below 1 a bit....

Then fook it, I'll just collect from you and DIY at home.

Not quite sure what you mean, you mean the car has already warmed up?

Warm up for a fuel injection car?

Abang, warm up the CVT and the clutch, not the engine.

yeah it is already warm up....

Then it can't be help I guess. All I can suggest is to wait for the RPM to stabilize after shifting into R, then only press the throttle. For some reason the CVT's R gear is finicky.

guys, my car dented langar pokok coz of reverse parking my friend buat
ngam2 atas lampu brek sebelah kanan. sorry no picture yet

so, need claim insurans?
or, hantar workshop ketuk & repaint?
where is the best workshop for repair the dented?

Got NCD?

1)Idling speed too low
2)Vacuum instability(if there is a vacuum hose,could be leak/disconnected)
3)Wrong petrol(result in retarded ignition)
4)Low combustian pressure. Gasket leak(ever overheat your engine before? Check the rocker cover surrounding see whether greassy or dry)

Last thing u can check is whether it makes a different with/without aircond. If without aircond no such problem, then its loosen throttlebody result in vacuum leak.

Regardless of your finding, you're advise to go back SC to rectify unless your warranty ady void.

oic yeah i also feel the reverse gear like a bit weird...

wrong petrol? hmm im using shell 95, is this the problem also?

Someone mentioned the CVT engages a set of planetary gears for R, maybe the gears causes slightly extra load for the engine that the ECU did not account for.

Just a theory, though.
