My K5 body has "injured" a bit, the surface paint has chip off a little...
Does anyone hear about "spot painting" which we do not need to send our K5 for whole body paint and only paint the "spot" area ?

To the matter of fact, I really don't know...
This morning when I rub my K5 I couldn't see any scratch or paint chip off but after my lunch near by which I drove my K5 out, by the time I reached home I has found it at the door panel, a little ( about 1~2mm ) scratch and can see the black color underneath my bright silver color...

Bro, could you please help and PM me the link as my fb account has banned long time ago due to inactivity.... ?

Thanks Bro, will check it out !

Wait for another month, and buy this year K5, I think you may have more discount then !

I would assume first year depreciation of 15K~25K to be more realistic, let see what will be the transaction for year 2012 K5 in next year.
Off course as K5 owner we would be please if the depreciation is below 15K... Hehe!

I want to ask any sifu here about the Auto Light Function, as it still light on after we turn off the engine ( actually it is good if you park infront of your door, it provide lights for you to see clearly when you open the door ), will be it harmful to the car battery in long run ?

But, will it accelerate the deterioration of our car battery then ?

Just curious, when I use the remote control to lock and unlock the door, it supposely not having the "beep" sound or is just my K5 got problem not having the "beep" sound ?

Thanks PlayMeker!

JuneSeptember, what type of "sound" you are referring to ? ear-piercing sound ?

IMO, "nyeeekk" should be related to brake pedal to the brake system, if "nyiiekk" might refer to the disk brake at the wheel position.
However, do refer to your SC.

PlayMaker this is human nature lar!
If given the choices to choose who doesn't want power ?

I did not drove any other d-segment car before and I can not give you my opinion on how underpower the K5 is.
The only thing I can mentioned to you since I'm driving K5 for about 3 months time, it lacks the "sudden power" or if I interpret it correctly the torque doesn't really there when you need it to be accelerate.

And, I must admit myself that it is a little not match with the so beautifully designed sporty exterior look.

But, for me I'm really enjoying driving it as I want is a beautiful design, confort, luxury and within my budget car. No doubt as I mentioned above it lacks the torque but ultimately what I do really emphasis is the smooth in driving enlighten me and for long journey driving it is really fantastic!

This is for year 2012 model or 2013 model ?

It is not advisable to pump again after the first click, I read somewhere in the past as after the first click, all subsequent fuel is not enter again into our gas tank.
I can't remembered from where I read the article but if I found it later I'll post again.

Ok, found it from googling below several links :

http://www.monkeysee.com/play/9472-should-...omatic-shut-off

http://www.epa.gov/donttopoff/

I think there are plenty more articles out there to be searched if you want to.

IMHO, we have plenty of petrol station here as we can easily locate when we need to pump petrol. Moreover the lighter the car the more fuel efficiency we could have, why not just stop at the first click ?

So envy you has a good job bro!

I didn't pump to full each time, and I didn't have any pattern like every time have to wait until the last bar, sometimes even left two or three bars and I just happened to pass by a petrol station I will pump petrol, sometimes pump $100+, sometimes $90+, sometimes $110+ and sometimes even $80+.
But, as I didn't travel a lot so in overall when I total sum all the petrol bills I collected and average fuel consumption for my K5 is only at ±RM250/month.

Bro, pls check the link below :

http://www.drivearabia.com/news/2010/09/13...or-your-wallet/

and please pay more attention to the below sentence :
[ Modern petrol station pumps are equipped with vapour recovery systems that feed back gasoline vapours into their own tanks to prevent vapours from escaping into the air and contributing to air pollution. Any additional petrol you try to pump into your tank may be drawn into the vapour line and fed back into the station’s storage tanks.]

You might end up paying more for nothing, pls check carefully with our petrol station as our system might not be the same as theirs as in the articles.
