why not?
power, reliability and FC all also have long run, definitely save money because low FC but there are ppl that still prefer petrol for NO REASON AT ALL for example theres a customer that i serve...he wanted a X6...since i only have diesel available...showed him that he asked me which is better..i STRONGLY recommend diesel...he STRONGLY want petrol...just because he say diesel is noisy....what to do...haizzzz |

QUOTE(SportyHandling @ Dec 9 2013, 11:18 AM) 3) I notice usually there are more spills at the floor of diesel pumps, overall slightly less clean than petrol pumps. Since most diesel users are large trucks and lorries. i'm not sure abt other car but in BMW...they have a weird design on the fuel hole that its smaller than our nozzle so it will not fully enter and u cannot pump full throttle only way it to remove the "gate" |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 9 2013, 03:20 PM) Well, when a person can afford the X6, saving fuel is not on his top priority. it was not a brand new car....its a reconhe asked for my opinion which is better.....i recommend diesel but he dn't wanna listen...so no choice and BTW...all of the diesel car in our country are RM100k and up also |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 9 2013, 03:22 PM) I believe it is designed that way as a safety feature so that it is impossible for you to put in the larger petrol pump IMO, its a pain in the assnozzle into your diesel tank. u have to pump real slow...if any faster, it will spill if full tank will take u a long long time |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Dec 9 2013, 03:45 PM) Actually initially I had that issue but when I learned from the other diesel owners, there is a way to actually slot it in correctly so that the diesel doesn't spill out. Most of the time it means slotting in the pump at a slanted angle so that it can enter in correctly. imma try next time.....  ...see if it worksthx for the tip PS am not very tall |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 9 2013, 04:06 PM) Oh, ok. If I were buying a recon car, I would also personally avoid diesel too since the diesel engine is not tuned to our crappy diesel. getting a petrol worries me even morelook at mudah...10/10 car sold is petrol and is only 2-4 years old |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 9 2013, 04:52 PM) Getting from mudah is a no no for me to begin with. getting a petrol is a NO NO for me either Yeah. As long as the driver and passengers feel good, it's fine by me. Speaking about Hyundai, they are strict about the 5k service intervals. They warned me again before officially handing me the keys. is ADDICTIVE !  and i'm fine with 5k service interval actually..its better the more often u check and change the fluids in your car...the better and 5k...u can push it to 7k...i did it to mine all along money saving and better for the car |

QUOTE(jchue73 @ Dec 9 2013, 08:00 PM) Hyundai is strict about sticking to 5k service intervals + / - 10%. I think 7k would ask for trouble in voiding warranty. Not worth for them to find excuse to void warranty. my adviceservice at SC..follow their regulation for the 1st year or 20k KM thn u can use your own oil...particularly delo gold...should be good until 7k |
