no idea about the cranking... but i can comment about the brake pedal. this is normal for every car (i think)

brake servo uses vacuum taken from the engine. when the engine is off you only have around 2-3 pump before the brake is no longer able to press until you start back your engine.

this is the same for charade as well (i use to own one) as well as my previous waja...

To my understanding that's good already. Most of us here is minimum at 9.0l/100km - 12.9l/100km. But since u're in highway, it can go better bro. Have u done 1st service?



Bro K2002,

Fortunately I never faced such situation before bro + thank God the cold start only happened to me once. But what I can say is that, if I didn't apply enough brake after the start before changing gear, the gear knob is the one that will be hard to push.

Speaking of which, have your broken/snapped gear knob changed bro? Where? CoSE? It's u right who's the gear knob plastic cover where it's inside click was broken?

So sorry for the confusion bro

Thought u haven't done ur 1st service yet.

Regardless, our FC will get better especially after 10k service. Therefore IMO u can continue your driving style as the FC is good already. for it! Cheers!

Unless other more knowledgeable sifus here can correct me. I'm a noob oso. Just gave u opinion based on what have been studied in this thread.

i hope so and will keep monitoring on the FC...
but mostly i am driving in Penang Island... normally RM80 can run ~ 400km

I dun believe that will help your FC

If you listen closely, you'll realize it happens when the A/C compressor engages. Yes, I have this issue too. I'm going to the SC later this morning and ask them if there's anything that can be done. Worst case, I might end up installing a capacitor bank to dampen the effect. No choice

Also, then the A/C disengages, my idle swings up & down erratically. Sometimes, it stabilizes after a few cycles, sometimes more. Since I drive a manual, I've had the car stall several times before this. Very embarrassing-lah! Like amateur driver

Just now i chiong with a VW car, becos he suddenly pickup while i come out from junction, then i pick up from junction also. Then he follow my ass but not very near, cos not straight road i show the paddle shift power, lower gear while turning and speed up very fast then until climb hill, tis show preve power, he was on my right and he totally cannot catch up, smell my smoke only, until at a traffic light. But pickup i lose la, where can win Golf with 4 ppl in the car, around 70kg average lol, then is downhill already so i don wan play with him, uphill win enuf edi Then my friend 1st time seat in my car say wan me try see the power, then he say drive 0-100km/h see how fast, that time already start chiong with golf, he was seating at the back, and he saw the meter already 100km/h, he say, wah, already 100km/h cannot feel lol... My conclusion is, the car once it is moving, even a little bit, it is a beast And, very stable.. My fren ask me why 75k don wan buy vios, i say vios inside nothing, why i wan buy? I say preve alot safety features, but he say can u trust proton, i say u wan try? i can do a corner u-turn 80km/h, he say nvm lol.. i just say, i only have 75k MAX, preve is the best car i can get at that price range, other than that would be myvi or persona which is cheaper. If i got more i will buy kia forte

Added on June 14, 2012, 1:23 amdont think so. if golf GTI is very fast cause got DSG gear box. (155 kW (210 PS) Turbo TSI) maybe is the new polo sedan.

is a golf TSI i guess, cos no body kit, doesnt look like a golf gti, if golf gti cannot even tailgate me while uphill, it is a very fail engine i climb the hill around 100km/h+ maybe more, becos i din really look at the meter

Indicator fc yg ada average speed tu, bukan yg instant. Pelik btol, kalau kereta running atas jalan, fc shown in logic, naik turun ikut macammane movement keta, tapi kalau berhenti kt traffic light or parking, average speed,decending, tapi average fc accending, weird... ..

Mula2 fc shown dlm 8.8L/100km. Then test b erhenti 5 minit-naik jd 9.6L/100km & still accending

Then I think u better inform the Service Advisor when u go to SC. But let see what others said about this first.. Dares? WhiTe LigHtER? Junn? Rick? Maverickng? my1508? K2002? Fenom? Gigabit?

Any idea guys?

BTW good morning to all Preveians!

Here's your of the day!

A a day takes a doctor away!!

(i don't mean this to u bro doctor.AGF hehehe )

observed mine no such thing as when slow speed the FC goes higher..i think that reading is faulty. need go SC check.

I would say that's normal.

Even you are not moving your car will still consuming petrol.

While idling, total fuel consumption will increase as the engine still running but milage is static.

Average fuel consumption is calculated based on total fuel consumption divide milage covered.

If you run your engine whole day but not going anywhere that would make the average fc reading go incridibly high.

Hope this will help you.

Oh, is it the same for u bro? Your FC indicator also shows like that when idling?

BTW, just asking, from the moment u took ur car, U only have 6 fill ups until now bro? Saw it on ur signature..

Yup, it's the same for me. No worry for that.

Actually got 3 more fill ups before those 6 but don't have the data to put in fuelly

My odo now is showing 4k

It looks normal to me, your car ave speed drop means you're stuck in a start and stop traffic, naturally your FC will increase, the engine consume most fuel during start and stop traffic, change to instant you can see the difference between moving and start stop

gooood mornin' all
thank god it's thursday...

here's a for all wub division members...

eh, looks nice la...
but would this void the warranty?
seeing that our airbags are at the side of the driver and front passenger seat...

Need coffee
