bro since u worried about it why not downgrade to an economical engine... cause ur  fc is really high...

b4 i forget to mention i m still a student so i tink its imposible for me to downgrade the engine cos my parents would definitely not agree..my bro upgrade the engine n i downgrade bac the engine blink.gif my parentz sure say u tink i print money wan arr..lol

no need to downgrade de... install some stuff that helps in FC like magicjet... cyclone, earthing cable and so on.... icon_idea.gif

haha i have mentioned that i m a car dummy derefore i din even heard b4 this kinda of stuff..so if i wanna do it..wat would b the budget??

Most likely either the engine has problem (or wrong mounting, eg. tilted slightly etc..) , or a badly tuned ECU.

so how do i noe wat causes the high FC??send it to bengkel n hav a check??

please check again whether you have metered your consumption properly

because a typical 1.6litre car can go around 12km per litre .... while yours is just around 9.6km per litre
*
yea i m sure that i have metered my consumption properly unless my meter not accurate la..everytime when i pump my fuel i will sure reset my meter..n that is y i m shocked when i saw this thread n knew that my car FC is totally higher.. cry.gif cry.gif aihz..my car very thirsty..

anyway i knew there is 1 switch bside the handbrake..the power n economy mode switch(shown in dashboard is H for economy n P for power mode..i hav no idea why economy is in H)..when my bro pass the car to me he told me to use the economy mode n he say the fc will b lower compared to the power mode..but few days ago..i brought my car go do servicing n the foreman told me that i shuld switch to power mode for lower FC cos when he say in economy mode theres no power n the H stand for HOLD mode..so u nid to pressure the gas pedal much more..n he say the HOLD mode is when u r goin uphill or downhill or something lidat..where ur speed is slow..n there's when the H mode FC will b lower than the P mode..but for highway n city driving its vice versa..i was lyk shocking.gif blink.gif

p/s:one of the factor that make my FC so high is mayb i din do servicing for a long time liow..there's a sticker written there i shuld bring bac for servicing @ laz yr's september n i only brought it bac last few dayz..aihz my wrong cry.gif so now i m still in the economy mode to c how the servicing improve my FC.. i will switch to power mode after my next re-fuel than to compare which FC mode is betta..hopefully it helps smile.gif

wah reli a long 1..hope u guyz read it n giv some opinions bout it..THX in advance..reli appreciate it..TQ!!
