So sorry guys but I simply have to say this =>
Break in the ENGINE not break the CAR lah. Not much to be gained risking an accident in the process.

To do that, kaw kaw rev the engine whilst in 'N' mode sudah cukup lah.

In N, you can rev til 2.5k RPM oni.

90-95% city/housing area driving, highway here arent considered highway anyway, u can only cruise for 2-3mins then u will hit a roundabout or traffic light heavy traffic. L/100km showing like 10-11L/100km, but i didnt reset it since last 1-2 fuel ups..

Sorry to ask, whats the benefits to have engine break-in? How do i know if the engine was already break-in?
Just put the gear to N & press pedal kau kau for how long & what rpm?

Now that's news. Always good to learn something new. I however stick with my earlier opinion that it's highly inadvisable to tempt fate at 200 km/h.

While Proton the manufacturer, prescribes that one should not drive above 120 km/h till at least past the first service.

Added on June 30, 2012, 10:47 pmI went outstation today and was in the car for most parts of the day. IMHO, the tint worked well at keeping the heat out. My old Wira which had el-cheapo tint all round, feels like a furnace compared to the Preve. For example, in the Wira where the driver's right hand is close to the window, you can feel the sun burning onto your skin. Barely felt anything with the Preve's tint.

the moment you start the engine, it is already "breaking in", only it is very very slow. Normally, breaking in has two different approach, one is soft and another is hard. Soft break in involves driving slowly (usually for the first 1,000km) at speed not exceeding 110-120kmh. Hard break in is the complete opposite of soft break in, usually stretches the car to its upmost limit for hardcore drivers. Both has its pros and cons.

However, both types of break in shares a same basic rule: Do not let the engine to stay on a specific rpm for too long. This is especially important for those taking their new car for a leisurely drive/outstation trip. It is important to vary the engine rpm throughout the entire journey.

How to break in? Just drive. To go below (soft break in) or beyond (hard break in) 120kph, that's your choice.

Something worthy of note. When I collected my vehicle late yesterday evening. Being quite dark, I didn't pay much attention to a piece of paper dangling from my rear view mirror. Didn't notice it till this morning.



Btw, my chassis is 82**. Sluggishness seems minimal and the car was quite responsive to the throttle input.

no

main concern for most car owners is #3 and #4 only.

Your car is sitting at the stockyard for about a week after assembly while awaiting to be transported. Therefore, it is safe to wind down your windows. Just dont turn on teh demister.

anyone knows how is the portable navigator gps looks like? same as the CFE one?

simple word..'Lenjan' your engine to the max..

break in to keep our engine at the best performance, overlasting..and the engine very smooth to accelerate our desired speed..


give u example:
1. a new 100cc cub chai = once get the car, no break in, just drive like others cub... one day the rider ask why his cub only can go max 110kmh?

2. a new 100cc cub chai, same model with no.1 = 1st 1000km he control the speed below 80kmh..after 1st service, he do proper break in, and he realized that his engine very smooth and easy to get 135kmh even a standard 100cc cubchai...

for a car, by break in the engine, we allow and give A STEP TO STEP EXPERIENCE to the piston and engine to achieve maximum speed.. i dont say go for maximum 200kmh.. if got chance to get 160kmh for few minutes ok already..then slowly reduce the speed constantly...

maybe..one day someone claim he got maximum 240kmh with standard preve.. and when we ask them, they will said they do proper break in when their engine still virgin..

p/s : i can give u 18SX example for better understanding, but im respect silent reader here, maybe women,girl, is reading and learning how to be Turbowoman..ohhhh..hoho

TQ. That's reassuring.

Proton use Lookatoo iinm....

I read from others forum, can convert to Papago ohhhh...
