This morning went to crank again the damn car, ekk....ekk....ekk, still slow motion and can't start. So i just open the engine cover to check the fuel rail and tubing as suggested by YAB, all are intact. So i just walk to the shop i bought batt3 yesterday look for the magician.

The magician told me this problem is common on Saga when the car running out of batt3, after change it will very difficult to start, but once start, it will revive. sweat.gif

So the magician walk back to my car, put in the key and crank. ekk...ekkk....ekkk.......ekk..ekk..ekk.ekk ekkkekk vroommmm.... shocking.gif he crank the car for almost 1 minutes and the starter is running more and more faster and finally engine started. ohmy.gif But dead again once he release throttle. Crank again, started in few cranks. After that my engine is revive.

I'm like WTF, i could do that also if i crank it longer yesterday, just afraid the batt3 will spoil if crank too long. After that the magician told me, when we fail to crank especially running out of batt3 for many times, the fuel that pre-injected by fuel pump (TEEEEE sound when u turn ur key to ACC) is flooding the combustion room, thats why it makes it more and more harder to start the engine.

Batt3 story finished, so don't know how to thanks him, so just let him change my EO. Mobil1 5w50.

After change EO, i can feel the engine now is damn heavy, like putting extra 100kg into my car sweat.gif I think this time is not placebo effect, becos i've been using 5W30 EO for more than 40k, this 5W50 really make a huge different in engine response doh.gif Even my last 11k Petronas 5W30 EO is much better than this new EO. cry.gif Nvm la, just get used to it. sleep.gif

from 5w-30 to 5w-50 haha definitely you will feel like the engine is ROARING like no tomorrow. lol That's the main reason why last time i dd not continue my service with proton.. I just don't like the 15w-50 oil they are using.

I usually get 8.5-9.5 liter/100km, but using Esso and Caltex only, sometimes BHP. Never used Shell, the only reason I would drive into a Shell station is to use their washroom or buy lego  whistling.gif

BUT if you car is still new, less than 5000km, the fuel consumption will be higher. It will normalize after 10k km, providing that your driving style is consistent.

The rest V12k already answered.

Hmm...I think the sweet spot is around 100-110km/h, but it's not empirically proven la.

At 120km/h I need to keep constant pressure on the throttle to maintain speed else the car will decelerate easily.
Shit my mum couldn't be bother with the FC. hurm need to find 1 fine day swap car with her for a week to gauge the FC haha. Hopefully full tank can get around 420km. Driving @ 110km/h.

Get a OBD2 scanner lar and hook it up to an android phone with the Torque Pro app, then can monitor instant FC, no need drive 110 for 400km  laugh.gif

After you're done with it you can plug it to your Forte to monitor engine health  brows.gif
