maybe he's manual one ..mine was 2003 1.6(m) and at 3k rpm i'm cruising at 120km/h...so far my car done amazingly in term of FC.full load of RM115 can reach 750km.about RM0.15/km, 50/50 interm of city driving and highway..

bought it last april at 39k but now i saw at newspaper around 35-36k only...

handling wise still ok, interior also still nice like new...but door handle got change twice hardly to engage 1st and 2nd gear...major problems have yet to come hopefully i'm the lucky one

yup, me driving a manual.. thanks for the info bro gonna check it then...b4 this, WPC (thru their webs) said it was a known issues for the manual version and still unresolved ....that's why i take it lightly ...


For uncle Tainted,
Me driving a july 2003(M) waja here, already clocked 53K...FC recently quite good, full load of tank manage to reach 750-800km (normally 700km)...no modification or fuel saver thingy..city driving/highway about 50-50....TIPS, dont go hard on the pedal and maintain rpm below 3k... usually my shifting point around 2.5k only. For manual waja, at 3k rpm of 5th gear u r crusing around 120km/h..fast enough for me

point noted ....by the way i just joined the power window club the PW motor kong on the way from kl to kuala lipis.since it's kinda rainy day i have to get it change.. stop at bentong and change with new motor which cost me RM100...dont know if that mechanic rip me off since i never knew the motor's price b4:cry: .....luckly it's not the bracket that broke, if not RM280 gone...

yup totally agree i did have this kind of problem (few months ago) after changing my steering bush..but i only notice the probs few weeks after that..due to my 'noobness' that time i've done alignment 3 times but my steering wheel still not level ....then my heart feeling tell me that is something wrong with my new bushes ...went back to the shop and ask them to check the bush(luckly i still kept the receipt)..voila, problem solve!!

Tanakwagu_noh,
one more symptom of a faulty steering bush: there's little bit freeplay when u turning the steering wheel right/left.espeacially when u counter-steer..

by the way, today i just notice my power steering fluid almost at minimum level ..never check it before so dont know since when the fluid reduced ..hopefully there's no leakage anywhere ...how frequent u guy topping the PS fluid? if there's no leakage i've been thinking of flushing the old fluid and change it with a new one..

ya that's what the mechanic do when i sent the car to workshop..by the way dude, for the PU bush, is it available at any workshop? so far only seen it online but never ask any workshop bout it la kinda interested....Eh, u wanna sell the filter? half price? brand new some more?

i kinda have the same problem before...the sounds really annoying ...at first i thought my wheel bearing kong already...but when i bring the car to workshop the mech said it was due to the tire surface which is become uneven..i doubt bout it, but when they change it with another tire the sounds disappeared ....

here's the things that i would suggest to u, jack the car and spin the tire..while the tire is spinning:

1-hold the the abs with your hand..if u can feel any vibration or hear any 'metal rubbing' sounds from the wheel, then it could be the wheel bearing....

2-see the tyre surface and check whether it is even all around...while the tyre spinning u may easily notice if your tyre got any 'lekok' or 'lebam' here and there...

or if u still doubt bout it and got plenty of time, try to change the tyre and drive around.see if there any difference after that

P/S:for those who know more out there, correct me if i'm wrong
