Like I did that night

I didn't know that...

1. You have NOS

And

2. There's a temperature sensor at the cat-con

No, I meant when I drove your Iswaga from your parking lot to dunno where, macam L driver oni

I think my Gaga has a Continental ECU, dunno if it'll work or not Darn I should have tried the reader on Saturday

No more turtle tyres

I must do muscle workout before driving your Iswaga, later have to reverse 20 times just to get out of the lot

Fair enough, at least I can pasang vacuum gauge

The reader works with the Conti ECU, rite?

My Gaga was delivered on 19-10-2010, I think I saw some labels in the engine bay dated around August 2010 so I guess it's sometime between there.

Lemme go home and confirm mine is Conti.

Confirmed Conti.

Okay I have three things to say.

1. I just filled up tonight for the journey back to Penang tomorrow. The previous tank was 9.9L/100 km, did almost 200 km on it. The reason for this consumption was heavy traffic on the LDP on Friday, and around Summit and USJ on Sat evening. Also on Sat night there was a horrendous jam going to Kota Damansara and I had to release steam by redlining the engine a lot. Sorry yah YAB, vacuum gauge needle was pointing to 0 a lot then.

Will drive very carefully monitoring the vacuum gauge all the way back to Penang and hope to collect some more results regarding the vacuum gauge readings.

2. I noticed that my tyres have been squealing around my car park today. Then it hit me. When I was on the stock Ducaro GAs, it was silent. No squeal. After changing to XM2, they squeal a bit. It was tonight that I realised after adding the FSB made the squealing a bit louder, and then now with the RSB it squeals a lot Guess the bars transmit more force to the tyres making them squeal more.

3. Yesterday when I was on the LDP doing around 60 km/h my friend sitting behind told me there was some noise from the tyres, and the sound was on every rotation. I couldn't hear anything though.

Tonight as I was driving through my car park on the way out I could hear some flapping "pak pak pak" sound from the tyres. I thought I had a flat but all four tyres were inflated properly. So I drove on but the sound persisted. Went on the LDP again and this time I heard it clearly, though it was quite faint.

Talked to YAB about it and he advised going to SC for a check in the morning. Hope it's not the drumbrake problem

Thanks for the suggestion. I made a visual check just now after getting home but I think I'll go and do a more thorough one now.

Got onto the floor and had a good look at all tyres. No foreign objects stuck.

Did a test drive in my car park. The sound is there, but it's very faint. You can hear it only if everything else is quiet. Seems to be coming from the left side.

My gut feeling is that it's merely an annoyance. The car feels perfectly normal while moving. Still, better safe than sorry.

Anyway, the sound seems to be related to something between the road surface and the tyre thread, not the tyres themself. Oh the sound is more like, rip rip rip rather than pak pak pak.

Don't think so. Alignment was done at 40k and the car has always gone in a straight line with no hands on the wheel.

Nope. Sidewalls and threads look normal.

Added on August 14, 2012, 1:19 amAhh I've thought of that. This afternoon, when I parked at 1Utama there was a large spill of engine oil at the lot where I parked. Still, I can't find any traces of oil on the threads.

I think I'll stop by the tyre shop instead of the SC. Can't afford to wait a few hours for inspection, and this problem seems tyre related.

Thanks YAB and Z1.

At the tyre shop now. Just took the guy for a test drive. Hopefully it's okay

Update: tyres taken off and checked. No bengkak or abnormalities. Doing balancing and rotation.
