Hey guys!
Day 3 of ownership,
And I've been enjoying the ride so far.
It seems I'm either driving super slow and efficiently, or really fast and guzzling petrol. Never in between. Haha
3rd gear doesn't like to be shifted into sometimes. It has a bit of an attitude. I think I will seriously consider that redline gear oil.
I seem to get stalled engine sometimes when releasing the clutch onto 1st gear, when the car is stationary. I'm thinking I am not stepping on the gas pedal enough. Maybe I haven't gotten used to it yet.
Same for reverse gear. Feels strange that the revs almost don't go up at all when lightly pressing the gas.
Unlike my old saga, which had immediate mechanical response.
Also I notice that idling is at 0.5krpm sometimes. Is that low? Or normal.
When aircon is on, there is a loud "tchak!" Sound from the engine. And the revs change a bit. I'm guessing it is the compressor activating. And the ex-owner said its normal, since some valve is opening.
Is that "tchak!" sound normal?
All together it has been a good ride. And I plan to service the car soon, even tho it has not reached the 10k interval.
Cheers! And thanks for any answer!
Do consider flush the brake fluid. It helps for the clutch thingy.Day 3 of ownership,
