Once you change the tyre, you void the warranty. but think smart, change to original tire when you got problem.  thumbup.gif  doh.gif

Ohh that's positive news. Maybe like bro mandrel said depends on sc. but probably need to retain overall diameter and width? I'm thinking of 215/50/17. Anybody use this size anot?

If the engine heat does not reach the threshold limit then the fan will not run. That's my logical thinking.

I just noticed a sound sounding like a vacuum cleaner running... not loud but soft. It's audible in the car but can hear more clearly outside the car at the rear tyre area. Is it normal or the fuel pump running? Any bros can confirm?

Also there is a rough squeaking sound coming from the front end of the car when I go over speed bump. Is that from the absorbers or something else?

Yeah, i'm also hear that sound especially when you turn key on standby mode.. Not a problem for me, sound cool.  cool2.gif  I also hear rough bump sound from  absorber when over big bum on speed. Like something is loose..

Oh that noise is during the electronic and engine checking only right? It only lasts for a split second when turn on the key to on position?

I also encounter the squeaking sound coming from the front but I'm not sure what caused that sound. Sometimes I can hear that but other time none.

Yup same here on bigger bumps can hear that sound. Don't know if related to bushing anot.

There are 2 school of thoughts. Depends which you are comfortable with. Even the hard revving has its techniques. Not just pedal to the metal.

I get like over 26-27c per km with hard driving. I noticed if I go slow, the distance to empty increases. The distance to empty with a full tank shows around 550-600 km. but I never get close to those figures!

1 question. I noticed the aircond piping is not insulated at the engine area. Can see the pipes sweating and cold to the touch. That might cause the compressor to work harder and burn more fuel. Anyone insulate it?

Love driving the car on highway. Speed climbs up easily to 180km/h. Only slack part is the rear suspension system.
