Hi guys.. Just got my Fofo S+ White on merdeka eve. Mileage on 2030km until the car suddenly shows error warning. "Engine malfunction. Service now". Now stuck at petrol pump. Other forums solution was to just leave the car rest for one or two hours before it get back to normal.

Anybody experiencing this problem before? What is the long term solution.
It is a very good car and I was very satisfy with the performance until now.

Need some advice.

I've narrowed down to 3M, Raytech and Sahara-X as there are too many tints available in the market to choose from. Specs on paper look good though not sure if they are all that accurate in real life.

Just stumbled upon Sahara-X Tint and did a quick research. The specs for some range of their tints seem to be impressive, though not too sure if the figures are all accurate.

The specs for one of the available tint is as below.

Sahara-X NF Specialty Sputter

Sahara-X MIRACLE 999 (FREE Sahara-X Keychain or Sahara-X Cap)
RM1888 (WALK-IN RM2800):
- SUPREME ULTIMATE infrared heat rejection
- Nano-Technology IR and UV protection
- Conducive and comfortable ambience
- JPJ claimable
UVR 99%
VLT 62%
IRR 99%
TSER 75%
color: green

For VLT62%, it is impressive to achieve TSER up to 75%.

Anybody who tinted their vehicles with Sahara can comment?

My SA currently recommends the 3M as it has a package that includes the tint and the car protection layer which protects the car against small stones and sand.

Anybody has any feedback, experience or comments on 3M, Raytech and Sahara-X tints?

Yikes! I always had a good impression of 3M tints before.... did you bring your ride back to the shop to claim under their warranty?

I am sure the forum (including me!) would be very interested on what happened and how the shop responds to this....pls share.....

I just stumbled upon this year 2010 review of the Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi Turbodiesel by Paul Tan. The engine in this vehicle is a 2.0 Duratorq which produces 134 horsepower and a class-leading 320Nm of torque. It was mentioned that the 2.0 TDCi’s 320Nm can also be boosted 20Nm up to a total of 340Nm for a short period of 8 seconds, although the ECU manages this feature automatically.

In the article the Focus TDCi is mentioned to only manage 9.8 seconds in a 0-100km/h acceleration. Any ideas or thoughts why the acceleration with that massive 320Nm of torque is a "slow" 9.8s, since the current Focus is capable of sub-8.0 seconds in 0-100km/h with just 202Nm of torque? The TDCi also uses the Powershift dual-clutch transmission, and although it may be slightly different from the transmission that is in the current Focus model, the significantly higher amount of available torque could have offset the difference.

I have driven our company's Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 2.5 which runs on diesel and the acceleration feels lethargic. Could be the weight of the thing(kerb weight is 1935kg which is about 600kg heavier than the Focus). The Focus feels very light and nimble in comparison due to good balance in torque and horsepower. The acceleration power is certainly impressive in its class.

cannot compare large SUV to sedan segment C

petrol focus only less around 100kg compare to heavy diesel engine.

you need to know how the diesel engine work , then u'll know why diesel ride feel lethargic

low rpm vs high rpm... sprint up to 100kmh..focus petrol only need up to gear 2 ..but diesel maybe 3-4th gear already
