no la he want to go for full throttle during his journey to his kampung laa..thats why la he want to service earlier LOL

Only advise to keep in your mind is that the alignment if (out of spec) will be repaired free of charge provided your mileage is under 1K.

If you pass 1K then you'll have to pay, my advise, if you feel the alignment bad go directly to SC cuz it may be something serious like my case

Good Luck

I think it is not so effective and a waste if you change the oil immediately. The idea to change at 1k is to get rid of the loose sludge trap in the oil and filter but if you do it immediately it has no chance to catch that thing.

hey EB owners,

Yesterday my dad and i did some DIY grounding for my EB. Here's what i noticed after the grounding:

1. felt better response when pressing the gas
2. During cold start did not hear the "craakkk" sound when starting the engine (still need to observe more on this)
3. Usually whenever i start the engine the fuel indicator will drop at least 6-8km then the km will slowly climb back up. Now it just stay at what it suppose to indicate the last km. (need to observe more)

Let me know others had installed grounding and tell me your experience.

Agree to ur comment on this. The main purpose for 1k mileage service is to avoid any metal sludge from the "virgin
engine" of getting into the piston ring which can cause scratches & damage done can be serious.

won't this void warranty?

Interesting!! Forgot abt doing this.. Now, I remembered doing the 5 point grounding on my ex older car (toyota seg)
years back.. Done on DIY also, using flexible cable for welding & cable lug bought from electrical contractor shop.

Observation:-
1) Smoother acceleration
2) Radio - clarity & radio reception also improved
3) Battery last longer - might differ from car to car

akchang bro, do keep us update if this benefit our EB..

To all EB bros, thank you so much for the all advices...!!!

im not sure how grounding is going to void warranty? but you know it's debatable.

I also notice the wind sound coming from the driver side when exceed 100km/h. Anyone kind to share is there any permanent solution for this? Is annoying to hear wind sound on a new car.. :-)

Added on August 13, 2012, 10:17 pmHi all.

Any sifu out there can share what are the differences between driving in CVT mode and SAT mode?

When should we be using SAT or CVT mode respectively for better enginer performance and fuel efficiency?

TQ

I personally think if we remove the door visor it will reduce the wind noise
Because I have one satria neo at home, it the most basic one, so one day I went to accessories shop and get a pair of door visor. After I installed them I noticed wind noise is too loud, so I removed them and sell at mudah.my
Another case: Most conti car dont come with door visor to minimal the wind noise

The difference between the normal mode vs SAT mode is just that you can feel gear change on SAT. It mimic 6 speed auto gear, but the feel is not that good compare to real autobox.
I've tried, using SAT, FC increase. So its better to stay on normal mode. About the performance I think normal mode is better, the rpm always stay at your desired rpm, but in SAT it will drop when gear virtually change

Anyone brave enough to remove and report the difference please let us know. for me i dont dare to do it

Thanks Neo1point3 for the tip.

It does look great with the visor on. But if it can solve the unnecesary wind noise issue, then i might consider to take it off. But if the culpirit is really the visor, why it only happen on the driver side and not the passenger side?

Anyone out there has removed the visor and found it to be effective in overcoming the wind noise on the dirver side?

have you tried sitting in the passenger seat and hearing the noise. maybe its heard only when you sit near to the door . so cannot say only driver side unless we let someone drive and we listen.

Are you sure only at driver side? because my EB both side got wind noise, when I am at driver seat I can't hear the wind noise coming from the passenger side but I can hear the wind noise at the driver side. When someone else driving my EB I sit at passenger side and I can hear the windnoise at passenger side but not at driver side
I also already ask the SC to replace the door rubber but still the same, so i think door visor is the culprit. But without the door visor then EB less handsome so need to compromise

this is one of our member posted earlier, i done mine too but i totally wrap the connector as well..

Any one got, at engine start up, engine seems to rev up and down by itself?

Mine seems ok. It will rev up slightly when the engine first started, then rev down after 3 - 4 sec. I think this is normal for any car.

Do you mean yours will rev up and down repeatedly without pressing your fuel pedal?
