Guys, if tyre upgrade from 16" should it be upgrade to 215/45/17 or 215/50/17. I went ahead with the later.

just want to update the outcome of my previous issues.

1) Brake got friction noise while braking - service brake.

2) Engine difficult to start and need to crank many times - checked by padt - no trouble code - ecu new version 03/13 - service throttle body and reduce

3) Engine dies off while reverse - do first initialization + clutch adaptation

4) Fan sometimes not working - fixed socket

5) Front driver seat bouncing - seat normal. tested ok.

6) Upgrade to copper nipple.

All issues has been solved!

I face issue 2 occasionally. Not sure if it's the spark plug?

Guys, how long did your battery last? Mine will be 2 years in May. Mileage close to 20k. Battery still seems ok.

I always thought battery lasts around 1.5 yrs. surprised to see it can last that long. In that case I'll not change it for now.

The first one would be more suitable.

Thanks bro. I did compare before but afraid the 45 series might cause the ride to be bumpy. So far I'm glad I took the 50 series. Moreover the speedo always reads slower than the waze speed. That's my rationale for choosing 50 series. Maybe the fuel might makan abit more tho

is it just me? personally i don't like the look of the black cladding. looks cheap. like "mende tampal-tampal". the rear bumper seems more practical. hmm.gif

100% agreed bro. It doesn't look right.

are the exora 16" sports rim lighter (in weight) than the steel rims or just purely for aesthetics only?

wai1460Have you sent your EB for tire balancing and alignment? Have you recently rotated the tires? Please share some hints.
Adjust what? The FC meter? I don't think it can be adjusted.
Perhaps detail out your drive condition? Which EO, tire pressure etc that you are using?

Today driving uphill, and tried to accelerate from 40kmh at full throttle. Find that the EB is very hesitant to accelerate.
I believe it is due to CVT limiting the engine torque... anyone chime in your experience?
*
Are you on sat? The limiting I get if the torque gets over the threshold is engine will cut power momentarily. Normally this will occur during launch under certain circumstances.

Cool what obd are you using. I have never experienced that scenario. Could it be clutch slipping?

Usually a OBD reader is compatible for all bluetooth device, its just the sofeware which read it, u may try torque free version but only basic info while torque pro might need to purchase.

Ok thanks bro for the info

IOS Bluetooth restricts serial data, from what I've read. You either need to jb the device and remove the restriction in iOS, or try the WiFi version dongle.

Speaking about tyres, can I use the stock recommended tyre pressure for 215/50/17? Since it's slightly lower profile, should a higher pressure be used?

Yeah,the front tires need maintenance every week.i pump 40 for all but the front one will drop to like 20-18..checked all the four tires also no hold,screw or anything.the rear ones will drop to 30-34 like that.

Better take your rim together with tyre to check for air leakage. Shouldn't go down so fast so much. But y your pressure so hi

May I ask how often your engine fan still spinning after switch off the engine?

My EB about 2 months old, the fan usually still spinning after I switch off the engine even I drive for short distant. But now opposite thing happened, for the past week, the fan stop completely after I switch off the engine...is it normal after we drive it for about 2 months?
*
It spins when the engine is hot. Most likely after running in the engine for 2 months is not so 'tight' anymore thus less friction and heat.
