Lol. @ thought drive at lower rpm coyld save the fuel. Will it cause harm to the engineif I use low rpm (not enough speed) to drive the car?

Usually harm to your wallet coz ur engine need to burn extra fuel to gain velocity. Engine itself hardly any harm if ignition timing being set correctly, at the same time fuel supply is sufficient, probably wont have any issue other than accumulate more carbon nia.

best if you identify/confirm the source of the sound.
or try to record and show us, else it's just a random guess online.

in addition to bro davidke20 feedback, can also be valve clearance issues, engine oil degradation, carburetor AFR out of tune, or even ignition timing/knocking issues.

ultimately, fc (fuel consumption, as the name implies) increases as you step more on the accelerator pedal.

even at high gear/low rpm, if you still need to step on the accelerator pedal to gain speed, you're burning more fuel compared to say, high gear/low rpm cruising without stepping on the accelerator pedal at all.

another comparison is going up hill at high gear while stepping at the accelerator fully (and climbing VERY slowly), vs low gear and climbing the hill efficiently with minimal accelerator pedal input.
that's having high engine load (the hill inducing the load) and high pedal input which means bad/high FC.

The sound is not that noticable becoz the sound isnt loud enough to be noticed. Haha

there's sound when i turned the steering . I believe the sound comes ftom the steering itself. It seems like the steering needs some lubrication. I dont think the sound doesnt comes from the wheels when i turned the steering. how to fix this? apply some lubricating oil to the steering?

20 January 2015, my car rammed into a viva early in the morning. First time accident for me. I am not hurt, the other driver also ok. But I am really exhausted because it happened in Kota Kinabalu and I have no people to back me up. Not sure how much is the lost, but the mechanic and towing guy say fixable.







Drive safely everyone. Chinese new year is around the corner. For me, it's over before it even started.

glad u safe bro ...

So now waiting to claim insurance? Usually the insurance cover all the repair cost ? How long is the process??

How can that happen?

i love this design

I accidentally hit the car's back when I reverse into a parking space. The reverse sensor isn't working anymore. I wanna know is it expensive to fix that?

Piktar plis

First off, I'm sorry for your loss.

Secondly, get the pulis lipot done within 24hours. If you pass that time, go see doctor and ask for backdate MC, can tolerate up to 72 hours. If passed 3 days also didn't make report, need to go bai hospital MC, stating you're admitted and not fit for going out make lipot, for the cases of victim went into comma/vegetation state, and or head trauma that result in memory lost. Regardless you got insurance or not, make pulis lipot is very important to protect your personal interest. Third party can sue you for hit and run if you do not make a lipot.

If you have comprehensive insurance, and if you're the vehicle owner/authorized driver, then you do not need to pay anything. Bumper, fender, bonnet, crossmember will be knocked to closest to original status. New paint will be given to the involved area. However, the signal lamp will only be replaced with cap ayam. Should you request for a brand new original, you'll have to top up the difference. Towing services should also be covered by insurance company. And if you're not the vehicle owner, and your name/IC is not stated in the insurance policy indicate as an authorized driver, you'll have to pay a sum EXCESS, range between 300~500 depending on the insurer previously stated in the insurance policy.

If you have a third party coverage, sorry nothing much you can do/claim. Rough estimation for the knock job is 500. Bumper also can be knock back by using heat treatment, but wouldn't look nice as it will look wavy. New bumper cap ayam should be RM150. No point look for chop shop, you wouldn't know whether that's an original bumper or the previous owner from the donor car is also using cap ayam, in the end you might be paying the same price but getting a used cap ayam bumper. New paint for the entire front part is about 500 as well since it's metallic. Otherwise, if you're cheap enough just spray it pitch black, probably around 300. Signal lamp/headlamps sendiri look for kedai sepepat kasi gao dim.

Good luck

Piktar??

Piktar = picture (his bahasa pasar)

No physical damage, I dunno where's the sensor. Could it due to wire longgar???
