recently i heard some rattling sound as well.
then very " ganjeong", cannot find out where is the source.

then i found the rubber clip for the rearview mirror, to fit between the mirror and front windscreen.
after i clipped it on (due to first day of apply tint, the clip has to take out)
then seems like the sound is gone..

tomorrow will go for 1k service, any SC to recommend btw?

That happened to my 3 yrs+ City as well. The sound started to appear after parking under hot sun & I thought the sound is coming from dashboard. After checking by SC (sitting with him in the car for test drive), the sound is traced to the rear view mirror. They applied some glue & adjusted the rear view mirror & now no more sound from the front (which initially was thought to be from the dashboard). For those who think there's sound from dashboard, try to check this.

To be honest, up until now i am very skeptical towards the idea of replacing air filters and gain accelerations. Improve in a very slight margin, yes but i think the effect will be minimum and most probably negligible.

Unless we are talking about changing more than just the filters.

Theoretically speaking, you have to lose some to gain some. Basic laws of physics. If indeed there is a an increase in acceleration then there's an increase in fuel consumption. I remembered some garage junkie who part owns a workshop around Sunway area told me this.

The items in which the car manufacturer gives you are actually the best there is and everything is tweaked to its optimum performance including the prescribed air filter in which will provide you with the best fuel consumption against acceleration. Any changes in either one of them would affect the balance. Thus:-

"increase air flow = more fuel burn = more power = increase fuel consumption"

The engine cannot be generating more power from air.

Another misconception some car modifiers have is that they thought by installing bodykits, it will increase the aerodynamics of the car hence reducing drag therefore better performance but little that they know, the weight these bodykits actually contributes actually cause more detriment to anything especially to those who installed super huge wings at the boot which is generally used to generate more down force to keep the car at the ground rather than making the car fly -.-

Based on actual senario, I've installed the K&N filter in my 3 years old City ivtec few months ago. It really improves the acceleration & fuel consumption has been improved slightly from average 450kms to about 500kms full tank. My drive is mostly along congested LDP (at least 50-60% city driving).

i do the same thing as you start to move when the cold indicator turn off, but my car didn judder, a "clark" sound will produce from the back and can be heard clearly inside the cabin. Only happen on the first start.

If engage to D and hold on the brake for few sec and pedal, the "clark" sound will not produced  blink.gif  cry.gif

There's nothing to worry. This seems to be the character of the car and the "clark" count u mentioned only happened once during first time reverse in the morning (cold reverse) and is only one sound (one "clark", not continuous).

Same here. Have to press the pedal harder if u want to pick up faster. The car is like doesnt want to move. LOL

It will improve when reach higher mileage. In fact, my fuel consumption improves after 40-50k kms. That time is still standard without any mod. Now after installing the K&N-like air filter, the acceleration improves slightly so does the fuel consumption.

Had another run through the weekends. Driving work+ going back hometown+ jalan jalan+ back to shah alam. Avg 18.3km/l . it's doable with control footing , and off course traffic too
*
U have a good mileage there. Mine one is around +-15km/l, full tank can go about 500-520kms.

Wat type engine oil that u using? Semi or fully? Mineral?
*
Semi & always used Petron only. Mostly used along LDP (jam half of the time & another half is free flow).

i drive this car about 4 years plus, maximum i can go also 450km until the range become 0. how u all manage to achieve 500++ by the way i am all the time fully syn and light footer

Maybe your drive is always or almost 100% city drive & jam all the time.

Because it's new. Wait after 2 or 3 services then see how the FC.

FC will even be better after 20k or 40k service.

Same here, dont understand how you guys get so good FC. I already try lightest foot possible on the pedal. But havent pass 5k service yet. Will see after that.
*
Sometimes too "light foot" will cause reverse effect. U can try to rev until 90-100kms n then slowly let it stop if u see jam in front will improve the FC.

Anyone here encountered that the L15A i-VTEC engine emanates a  light gas blowing sound after the engine has been switched off after travelling for like 30 mins?

Same with my yr 2010 City. I presumed this is normal? It's noticeable when u go near to your front type/engine areas.
