So I just went for my 1000km service at COSE. I can say I much prefer COSE, compared to the "outside" service centers. The one I went a few weeks ago to check the "helicopter sound" just grinded it a bit, but the sound was still there. COSE went ahead and changed the damned thing. So that was good.

COSE remapped my ECU, reset the braking system, and suddenly my CVT is much more responsive and a sweeter drive. Sure, it'll never be like a CFE in terms of acceleration but I think that's fine. Responsive, not sluggish anymore, and etc. Oh, and I know there are people who have said that COSE only allow you to use the semi-synthetic oil... nope. I chose to use the fully synthetic one, and they were okay with it. Even gave me a free gift that comes with the oil (15 piece cutlery set, of all things!)

Only wish the reverse sensor would start beeping from a bit further - I think now it only starts like 1-2meters away. Is that normal?

that's pretty good, complete with free gift

so did you made appointment with them before sending your car? how long did they take for 1k service?

I think can ask CoSE regarding changing to leather seat.

Someone in PREVOC said it's about 2.8K to change, if I recall properly.

Look still reasonable ..... Once changed to leather seat the whole car feel totally changed alot.

Now I am cracking head which colour to go for .....

Preve's most colour does not look nice to me..

Fire Red - Seasoned colour, does look a bit "old" after sometimes
Silver - Uncle colour but easily to take care
White & Black - Too hard to take care, scare after 2-3 years down the road hilang semangat then even the uncle's Silver may look better
Lilac - Out of the question



How nice if it has Suprima's atlantic blue

They would have taken about an hour or so for a normal 1000km service, they said, but as they were also addressing my other concerns, it all took about 6 hours.

Btw, does anyone know what the ACTUAL pressure for the tyres should be? I've not filled up the tires ever since I got the car a few weeks ago. I know the recommended says about 220 for front tires, but when I went to fill up earlier today, I noticed that the pressure currently in the the tire was closer to 280 for the front. Means it was like this since I got the car. Anyone know?

220 is the cold pressure... if uve driven the car for quite some distance, the tyre will heat up the air inside.. raising tyre pressure...

Just to add, proper tyre maintenance is to watch the load and your speed In order to make the tyres wear out 'naturally', add 3-4 PSI when full load or going high speed for a long time

I seriously dun agree adding additional 3 to 4 PSI to the tyre pressure~~
that is some serious over inflattion..danger when driving in wet or high speed condition as the grip is lost~~

the theory is that if u under inflate your tyre it will become so gripy that it results in slower car and waste fuel consumption...but if you over inflate it~~the tyre will not be in full contact of the surface and you have lost grip~~which it will also affect in Fuel Consumption AND will result in dangerous driving condition..again especially in wet or high speed condition~~

check out you tube for the "mythbuster series" they have tried all 3 conditions and concluded the above statement~~

the optimum pressure when cold according 220kPa (around 31 psi??) for the front and 210kPa (around 30 psi??) for the rear~~refer to page 166 of your manual [english] it is CLEARLY stated there~~

therefore if u pump with hot tyre it should be fine for you to add 5~10kPa for both front and back..
oh ya for the new cars...please make sure you check your tyre pressure...as they are not sure how long the car will stay in their storage..to avoid flat tyre..the manufacturer normally will inject more air inside...go ahead and try adjust the pressure to the optimum level...you will then feel the true power and stability

Err please read carefully, I did specifically say it's for the circumstances of full load (full trunk + 4 passengers), and going for high speed for extended time

Still i think advising people to go for 34 or 35 PSi for their tyre under ANY conditions is not wise~~
the load of extra weight is more likely to be absorb by an ABSORBER rather than the tyre~~

why put yourself in danger dude....no offence~~
