Anybody who has done german sausage and can really feel the difference?

I got it done this afternoon and feel that it is worse or the same than stock.

Maybe too tired from the labour. Or is there a danger of overtigthening the zip tie and squeezing the hose smaller?

I believe u did it wrongly. Cable ties are to hold the hose from expansion, do not change the hose shape.

It has to be improvement, I guess u need to check all the hoses properly. Are they being tighthen perfectly?

I think I need to redo it again. Seemed to have overtighten particularly the main hose. I guess finger tight would be enough. What is the recommended gap between each tie? Used about 150 ties.

Leave around 5cm space between metal clamp n the first cable tie. Else it will not be properly tighten to the intercooler, gas leaking.

It is not a warning sign. Just telling you to press the button if you want to turn off the engine. This sign will appear if you start the car  by pressing the button first before the brake then button to start. If you press the brake immediately after key fob insert and press button, youwon't see this sign. Spend some time to read the manual cover to cover. You will see that sign inside.

TQVM Sifu for the kind reminder to read through the owner's manual. Actually I had read through the manual book but could not find the explanation that necessary to solve the problem. Anyway I will read through the book again. For examples pictures page 68 and 69 do not explain the situation as the gear lever is in 'P' Park position.

Or maybe Sifu can help me to locate the correct page/s for the discussed scenario. Please help and thank you very much.

Mat, nice.

On the ratio, I refer when on tip mode which I still find the best for 'less civil' but fun driving.

On the CAI, looking at best option to easiy revert to stock routing which is super safe but only takes whatever does not go past the radiator and condenser.

try to use mode that easy to revert back to original for easier claim for warranty in the future.

Of course, its normal to any man want to modified their cars, even ferrari owners also like to modified their prancing horse. :-).

I only can tell u one thing, when choosing to equip cfe cvt preve whether with 6 @ 7 speed software based ratio, it seems for them(the engineers involve), 7 suit preve pretty well compare to 6 since its lighter than exora. But if they decide for upcoming variant with manual 6 speed, it will be the best :-). N r3 preve iafm+ easily outpaced cfe on track, he...he...

You need to send car to Sc for indepth diagnosis. If Sc also cannot SOLVE the problem within reasonable time, then you are not alone, since all CFE use the same supplied parts, its about the problems appearing sooner or later. SC will replace the whole of suspected faulty parts. AFTER 5 years you have to pay full cost, yes replaced can still happen after few years. More parts are likely to fails at your own expenses.

If iafm+ r3 can be so good, then cfe will have a lot room for more power

Normally I wash with the Hecta PL - PH neutral shampoo (which comes together with the Permanon DIY package) and also the revitaliser (once a month mix with the Hecta PL) ...the car will be shiny and the beading still good after 3 months.. (my car only 3 months old tongue.gif)

White color : Mesti rajin cuci kete...after rain must wash car/splash with clean water and wipe dry with Microfiber cloth...don't leave it to dry by itself..

Hi Bro,

Hecta PL is not a PH neutral shampoo. Permanon Hecta is a highly concentrated, alkali-titrated concentrate intended for
cleaning and removal organic impurities. Please see product spec here.
http://www.permanonusa.com/Literature/Data...ata%20Sheet.pdf

It is not recommended for routine wash. For washing, you can use Brilliantshine shampoo (http://www.beacon-enterprise.com/en/brilliantshine-2-in-1-cleaning-shampoo-unique-features/) or other brands with PH neutral.

Cheers. smile.gif

Hi, just got my CFE 3 days ago. Most of the time, when I start to move from standstill using D transmission (especially on the traffic light at hill slope), the car hardly can get to move and it started to jerks awhile, where I need to press the fuel pedal very hard to move the car. Is this normal?

Then I tried to use S mode. Car easier to pick up from stand still compare to D mode but the car still jerks. My chasis is around 31xxx, i think this is not the ECU remap problem ?

Its the gearbox actually, not engine.

The characteristic of this cvt, to ensure smoothness pickup with D mode is to press gently to let the car roll abit, only by then apply more force to accelerate. Its unlike normal torque converter gearbox

Hello everyone,

After driving my IAFM+ CVT for 800km,

I notice some rattling sound coming from around steering area when i push the car between 1.5-2.5k, Is kinda annoyed.

Have anyone encounter this problem?

Also, my steering vibrate when i hit the brake like krup krup krup sound. I suspect the disc brake.

By the way, normally you guys use what oil for 1k sevice?
