Hi, just finish drive for almost a month after 20K service.
Complain my IMA battery indicator drop from full bar to zero and then back to full for 1 min drive(Occur once a while) and lastly go up Genting (almost near genting) IMA battery show half but acceleration can only go for 10Km/h even I change to lower gear L. Pedal bang to the floor but still speed around 10Km/h++. I have to release and bang again the pedal to push a bit of speed. Luckily the distance was short or else get honk by cars behind then down hill to recharge my battery and everything back to normal.
SC put a remark to ask mechanic to check IMA battery. After getting my car they say the IMA battery connection is loose. So I test drive for a while to see if it happen again. So far no drop for the IMA battery indicator.
The up hill thing so far no problem but is not like Genting hill slope so is hard to say.
Another thing I found is normally when I fill up full tank I can get up to 350 - 380 KM (Empty Fuel tank light up) but after this service I can get 400 - 430 KM (City 85% highway 15%).
Damage from 20k service (Chan Sow Lin SC):-
Labour = RM117.0
Oil (Semi) = RM99.80 (15% discount)
Washer Drain = RM 2.10
Oil Filter = RM26.08 (15% discount)
Dust and Pollen Filter = RM153.00 (15% discount)
(Air cond service postpone to next services cause very expensive)
Total = RM405.00 (including service tax 6%)

I have this same issue of the IMA Battery discharging very fast when going uphill (even slight hill) the discharge is to almost to the end.
And then the recharge is also quite quick but not as quick as the discharge so I used to get 5L/100km but now only 6L/100km.
I asked SC during my 30K service and he said he checked and nothing was wrong
Perhaps I will ask SC to do the 12V battery test then?
