The engine feel kinda hot when i only drive like less then 10 min on rainy night compare to my old wira hmmm

When i start car the Water meter light is on...issit the engine cold also got the light? after few minute the light gone...

Just did my tinting

Front - 97% IRR 70% VLT
Side and back - 72% IRR 50% VLT

RM 1,150 with voucher at Raytech

You can feel the engine heat from inside the car???

feel heat from inside the cabin?..which part?..if at the transmission tunnel, that is normal, because the exhaust pipe runs through there..

ya, it means the engine still cold. strongly recommend to let your car warm up few minute, after the light gone only start driving.

normally, I wait until the airbag light gone > only start engine > wait water meter gone > start driving

i feel the heat after stop driving (even short distance driving), feel the heat from bonnet it take me really hard to open bonnet and the stick to support bonnet also really hot. I have to take some kain to cover my hand to open ><

normal question
yes got blue light means engine is cold start, means the computer will set the idle rpm slightly higher than normal to get to operating temp faster.
u can just drive off slowly, just dont full throttle.


aiyoooo.... engine bay sure hot laaa..
if engine bay cold as ice, then only a problem

if normal condition no need tell la, make other people worry only..

i know it is normal to be hot, just hot than what I imagine only. saw up there got people comment ma. =.=

...cont' :- after 6th day into driving my new silver manual Axia the 1st gear has begun to run-in synchronizing enough power pickup sensation than before during the stop & go traffic conditions!
Therefore, I should say just let the tight virgin enjin runs in for a certain of time (depending on own driving style) before realizing the fun of cruising in our new Axia! Enjoy

Reached 3000 km. Here is the observation of my Axia SE Manual to share with you guys.

What I will give a thumbs-up:
1. Very satisfied with the fuel consumption. Average above 20 km/L since the first refuel.
2. Wide cabin space.
3. Good interior furnishing.
4. Bluetooth enabled player. Clear sound from speakers.
5. Good exterior design.
6. Tinted glass.

What I will give a thumbs-down:
1. Not happy with the hypersensitive front sensors. It's noisy, annoying & not helpful.
2. Not happy being given the Silverstone tyres. I want my Hankook tyres back...
3. 1st gear may not engage fully. It is dangerous when stopping on slopes.
4. Power windows can be noisy.
5. The rear hatch attracts dust, probably due to electrostatic effect.

How I achieved more than 20 km/L even in normal KL jam:
1. Always use free gear when going down slopes.
2. Switch off engine when waiting for traffic light to go green.
3. Accelerate slowly from stop.
4. If I see red traffic light ahead, I slowed down. So I don't have to stop completely when it becomes green.
5. Press the fuel pedal lightly. 60 km/hr is still OK for me. For courtesy, I keep my car on the first (left) lane.
6. Change gear appropriately.
7. Of course I also use Google Maps to check for traffic before I start my journey.

[Addendum]
Forgot to include a disclaimer.
1. Always use free gear when going down slopes.
* Applies only to manual transmission.
* May damage the auto transmission if shifted to Neutral while the car is moving.

Switch off engine at traffic light? I heard they do that in India.

so
Off engine, so hardcore..
Not hot meh no aircond?

WOW, I learned a new fuel efficient skill here off engine when stop at traffic light. hmm, did it really work? no harm to engine? keep on and off

I never heard of that before.

With the tinted glass, it is still tolerable.

I tried that in my old Kancil for some time, no problem. The latest Daihatsu Model Mira E:S has the eco idle function.

My contractors from India told me so. Because petrol is expensive there (at that time).

That's cold engine sign laa.. Have you ever read the manual?

1. Yeah.. In any traffic jam or slow moving traffic, motorcycle very fast one. Kinda annoying. But I just pull up handbrake each time stop during traffic jam.
2. Perodua penipu scammer
3. No comment, in auto
4. Average only for me. Maybe because the door cards are thin lel
5. Err..

exactly what i want to say , because my old wira drive for 3-4 hour only will feel that hot i think maybe because of the engine bay area small already compare to wira engine area big ... just maybe

the rear easier to get dusty not because it attract dust, but it is a characteristic of hatchback car. No laminar airflow, so dust or rain will just stay there and dry on the back of the car..

not only axia problem, but millions of other hatchback as well

this is totally non scientific statement,
perhaps the fan of wira, the wind got deflected somewhere else but ur face.
maybe in axia, the wind generated by the fan after sucking hot air out, kena direct hit ur face so u will feel hotter..


well if everything like this also want to complain, then engineer die liao.. gaji rm2000, customer complain feel hot.. all feeling feeling only.. unlest the temperature warning rise baru la complain..

pakai feeling feeling ni what standard u use i also dont know..


sorry bukan emo, but atleast know ur car abit la...



if real problems like casing headlamp berpeluh ke ape ke ok la jugak.. (actually got cases already and the owner got headlamp replacement)
