QUOTE(jemmi @ Oct 29 2012, 08:47 AM) For superb performance, comfort & long lasting try find Toyo T1R/C1S or Michelin PS3 or Continental MaxContact5. Cheap good choice Neuton NT5000/8000 or Yokohama CDrive2. u sell tyres? what are the difference? and pricing |

if u ask me, i will drain all the existing water from the car, and fill it up with pure RO water (reverse osmosis).
to avoid mineral buildup inside the pipe in long run. my old car has been using pipe water, so when u flush the water out, u can see all the build up dirt yellowish color. mechanic claimed it the rust from the engine pipe etc. oxygen + water = rust no idea on coolant brand n type. |

QUOTE(Turbocrazy @ Nov 6 2012, 10:50 AM) 1. juz make sure the water tank is already cool down, then open radiator cap (top) TQ Turbocrazy2. find the water coolant drainage socket, plastic - turn anti clockwise, flush all the water out. look underneath the car. 3. start engine for one to two min - so that whatever water left in the engine will also flush out. 4. stop engine, replaced drainage socket (finger tight) 5. pour in RO water, till full. 6. start engine - water level will go down due to filling up the engine. add more water till full 7. replace radiator cap (top) 8. done.. |

refill water (plain) is free, not not adding coolant into the water.
did they give coolant to new EB car? or just normal, water only. |

QUOTE(leongsem @ Nov 6 2012, 05:15 PM) blue color is coolant right? depend on the color of your coolant, some red, green or blue..if the water isnt transparent, it has color, then it should have coolant already poured in and mixed. just be aware of brownish, dark red...color of rust...which you wont be worrying in new car. maybe in next 5 yrs? QUOTE(akchang @ Nov 6 2012, 06:39 PM) anyone with sluggish pickup or response, I got mine reflash ecu 9/12 (lastest), prior was 9/11. 9/12? i read that it is ECU 118 the latest...Just FyI what 9/12 stand for |

double check:
after switch off the car, the sound from the engine IS FROM A FAN? that fan is for cooling the engine, or the turbo? since that fan is moving, while the car is off, that means it is taking electrical power from battery without getting charged back (by the attenuator). so result in a short life battery? dry battery right? this is something i think of but always forget to ask... |

QUOTE(bbjslee @ Nov 8 2012, 10:28 AM) Hi all, burnt rubber smell is common with new car. it will go away after one or two trips.Just got my Exora CFE yesterday. I notice there's some burnt smell from the car after the car stop. Is this normal for new car and will eventually wear off? if it persists, please do not hesitate to call the fire fighter. |

QUOTE(neo1point3 @ Nov 10 2012, 05:22 PM) Yesterday after Friday pray, i went to this one long empty road. yesterday i tried persona..maybe due to after raining, the road is slippery. highway, it was a close call when front car immediately hit emergency brake (dont know which moron front him braked).So this time I really test my EB, full throttle from 0-150km/h. The rpm stay at 5.2k and not going more than that during accelerate. Speedometer climbs fast as expected Then when few metres reaching a bump, I full press brake paddle! The brake is so responsive, and strong! ABS activated when speed at 50km/h-0km/h. The paddle vibrate when abs activated too! No screeching sound from tyre After that i accelerate back to 60km/h and make a full u turn, feels like want to terbalik  So far im satisfied with my Exora bold cfe The hazard light also flashes few times automatically after hard braking! so i full pedal brake (was at 110km/h yes i obey the rulez). i had a minor screeching from the tyre and managed to brake in...maybe 6-10m? u try make a sharp corner during rain and tell us feedback on ur EB. *pray hard that you not the same species like brotan. |
