lol.. when i got my myvi 2years back, the first week itself it died suddenly in the middle of jln puchong.. mum was driving and ppl stopped and help push it aside.. and when me and my uncle arrived, checked the engine bay only to see the battery +ve connector not securely fastened.. human errors when it comes to quality checks eh?

Darn! I just replied and my post dissapeared! 

Have to start again loh.. aiyoh!
Look for additional accessories (eg. leather seats, ICE, rims, tinted, etc). I bought mine for same price but have leather seats. Trust me, it gives the more expensive look if you have them. A loss for me as puspakom ripped off my tinted window (they claimed it's too dark @ 40%) 

kcng - Here's to add to your list - Caltex RM70 = 400km (it struggels to go there).

So my next tip to improve mileage is...
1) pump my tire to 230psi
2) fill up with esso / mobil or at least shell / bp.
3) send car for full check at SC (when i have money) 

Where about is the SC near bukit jalil. I rarely go out so i dunno lah.. Any chance you have map? 

I got the squeak sound from dashboard as well. Not so squeak but i think more to a metal sound. To resolve this (temporarily), i firmly press the 3 knobs with the palm of my hand. It goes away for a while, but when you hit hard bump it will sound again.

Local P2, YES i will agree with you, but this is Honda for Christ sakes   how can they make mistakes like this!!!
Anyways, spoke to the GM(yum cha at Kanna Sect 17), he assured me like you said, human errors, and apologised for
his staff errors, to me, like i told him, its unacceptable in a way, but then again being human myself(yea rite) I agreed with him..
so to all who send to SC, always check and double check replaced parts before you leave....

kcng,
the manufacturer recommended tire pressure for the fronts are 32psi, and rear 30psi.

is this for the newer 15" rubbers on idsi and vtecs ?

mine is the old 14" idsi tyres...
i always put in 210 - 215 kpa....

but thanks for the heads up.....

210-215kPA is around 31psi range..
my city is a 3rd Gen VTEC.

caltex RM 70 = 400 km.....
finally got reference

u test it one time or 2-3 times consecutively pump caltex ? mind sharing ?
thanks


thats how i did with my test on other brand....
because sometimes when u pump caltex (or any other brand) and that particular day after u pump u are stuck in an almighty jam... then the accuracy off already....

u running on stock tyres ? if stock 230 seems abit over kill right ? or u are trying to kill your rubbers fast ?

Hola everyone 

kcng, i tried caltex just once. No jam whatsoever, i think it's my normal driving condition (trafic lights, minor speeding, usual cruising, etc). Maybe I'll give it a try later when fuel empty 

But you know what, i fill up RM100 with mobil / esso (first time RM70, second time topup another RM30) and went from Selangor to Ipoh and back - my total trip until fuel light came up was 671.5km 


How come you got better mileage with mobil / esso?
But FYi i was driving at constant 140km/h and sometimes speed up to 160km/h for a while 
I was driving alone and driving fast actually keep me wide awake (if slow i will yawn and pull over at roadside or R&R and sleep for hours) 

So if you drive at an average of 140km/h, you get 671.5km with RM100 of mobil / esso 

Now i'm trying BP again (as it gave me the furthest mileage before).

Er.. so 230kpa is overkill?  I don't know that.. my tires are stock (with stock rims). Guess better lower that down to 210kpa huh? 

I still only manage to reach +-400km on full tank, IDSI.
Car quite new.. around 2500km already.
Is it a problem I pump Shell?

I think it's 14" (stock). But how to check? Super noob here

Haiyoh kcng, late already still not sleep? Tomolo not working aa?

Try about 4 tankfuls and calculate the average.
Then try Petronas/Esso/Caltex etc for another 4 tankfuls each and calculate the average.
