QUOTE(tehsarbat @ May 24 2015, 01:14 PM) i also do the throttle body service for the 45K servicing. dont know, maybe just my feeling, but i its give better respond, at present i'm getting below 9.5. the best was 9.2. maybe can drop more if less idling.  bro, what is actually throttle body service? not every SC will do this right? every 10K interval?

QUOTE(nicolng @ Jun 8 2015, 10:29 AM) Hi. I'm new here. Just got my EB a week ago. Trade in the 4 year old exora cps. Notice a big diff in term of power, sound insulation and handling( I think of the bigger tire now). Hopefully fuel consumption can be close to my previous cps 600km on full tank. How much you trade in your cps? I'm thinking to trade in mine also 2010 cps high spec... Only done 45k km...

QUOTE(alexei @ Jun 10 2015, 09:43 AM) It is wiser in a way, like myself driving a Kancil now. But that's really for the fun of driving manual. One thing though, my RAMCAR battery died after leaving the EB for a few days. It's 2 years old. Then, I cut a hole for each of the opening and unscrewed the caps to add water. Now, it won't receive charge. I'm not sure what is the story here, but my experience tells me not to add water to the stock battery. The symptom of a dead/dying car battery is, you'll see 'LO' on the dashboard right side display, above the battery sign. So, no need to install voltage indicator for EB. me also KEMBARA manual. when stuck in traffic jam, than only the word coming out, 'i wish i drive my BOLD today'. my stock battery still ok more then 3 years now. just start the car once or twice a week. hope can last longer. this month 'koyak' already for 4 donats.

yup, that is the 2 things that you felt due to the problem. After driving longer hours coming back from office, the pull back feeling still there, not as bad, but the sound not longer there.

Wish to check, is CPS manual model need to service throttle body or have this item? General cost expected to be how much? My friend CPS feeling lost of power, now clocking into 5 years. Or what he shd do to regain the power?
