I never use auto car until recently.. Can I know it is Ok if when I drive fast, I saw red light, still got far distance, and then I change from D to N.. So the car move with N gear..

There are people who advice against that with a CVT powertrain, the same reason why I wont allow the tireman to do on wheel balancing on my front wheels previously (allowing the wheel to spin freely, or coasting in N)

I would advise against doing that, at least until I recieve the reply from Kristof of Punch Powertrain that it is OK to do that.

i've read a tip from fuelly that for auto car engaging to N doesn't really save fuel, unless u're coasting while in D.
not sure how much better compared to idle N
*
Coasting in N removes engine braking ma, so you can coast further compare to D. At least that is the logic la.

EDIT: just read your spoiler, haha that would suck for those who regularly coast in N.

Why during wheel balancing ur wheel is attached to the car?

It should be taken off and put inside a machine to do balancing ma... ohmy.gif

Thats off wheel balancing.

On wheel balancing is where the wheel is attached to the car while being spinned at highspeed with the engine or extenal spinning machine. This kind of balancing yields bette results as it is done at highspeed and take into account the imbalance of the suspension and brakes assembly.

Normal balancing adi expensive enuf, i think on wheel will cost a bomb, no? hmm.gif

Nvm one la, off wheel more than enuf adi la... tongue.gif

if really want to take into account real factor, then alignment should do with driver inside the car and another go tune at below, because current alignment method din consider driver inside the cabin, when they align finish, once driver get in, the steering will not in perfect position also...and with both passenger in front it will different also...

expensive meh? i saw a viva doing on wheel balancing with a trolley-like mesin. looks simple to me.

Not expensive la, 10-20bucks per wheel nia.

They do test drive it several times each time the do any adjustments, at least where i did my balancing la.

UPDATE Re Soundproofing of Sagas...

General consensus in most forums/by DIY enthusiasts is that in order 2b effective :
a. A min of 2 layers are needed, namely 1 layer of dampening marerial eg dynamat/vibramat/similar mayb bitumen-based material esp on doors, coupled with sound absorbing barriers eg insuflex.
b. doors, floors, firewall & boot areas are the minimum areas 2b treated.
c. proper tools eg a roller needed to do a good job to ensure proper adhesion to surfaces treated.

Note: A lot of stripping & removal of car parts eg carpets, plastic covers, seats, etc need 2b carried out b4 proceeding with DIY soundproofing! A very daunting tedious task!
Not 4getting hving 2put all if them back together again!!!

Total expenses = RM700 - RM1k (DIY)

Above only REDUCES only arnd 50% of noises ie mainly those caused by vibrations in car!

Worth it? Or juz live with the noise? tongue.gif

YOU tell us... rolleyes.gif
*
a.) go perodua showroom. Test drive a viva.
b.) come home and appreciate the calmness of your gaga.

Total expenses = zero.

vpower, ron97 and ron97 with techron apa beza? ==
*
Mainly to do with additives.

Vpower is basically Shell Ron97 with friction modifier additives and engine cleansing properties. Developed for F1 and modified for normal cars.

Techron is basically an engine cleansing additive in the petrol. In other countries the techron additive is sold separately from the petrol, but in Caltex malaysia the petrol is premixed with techron.
