The 13.9l/100km I got here was from Petronas. Giving BP a shot now. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyone knows if EB has manual adjustable timing via the distributor? Or should I request retarding it at SC? Reason is the engine pinging (minor) when engine is under load.

Same. Different brands will make a difference?

There are injection cars with distributors that's adjustable. Guess EB has one less part to worry about.

Going to let it run with the different fuel for now. Maybe the knock sensor will sort itself out after that  cool2.gif
Been using BHP for 100Km. FC is better (vs Petronas) on first impression.

ohmy.gif ok i go pump BHP and test once my tank is empty

The shop deals what brand? Google this brand cannot find its homepage. Some says it is by Silverstone.

jemmiMichelin is slightly more expensive in Malaysia, compared to other major brands. Though I did spend RM320 a piece for Goodyear Assurance TripleMax.

zstan My aircon was made worse by the SC aircon service. They added it when doing 20k service. Quite expensive, frankly. Remove the gas, took out the cooling coil to bilas2... put back, pump new gas, then aircon become not as cold as before.
*
yealo i also feel a bit expensive. actually every service at the authorised SC also expensive laugh.gif but i was supervising the technician the whole time and then he showed me aircond become colder but i dont feel the difference. but i can see the coil damn a lot of dust good to clean also la sweat.gif

and apparently got one part in the turbo which is made out of plastic. this part is prone to bursting in msny exora cars which caused water to leak out and then engine over heat. so if u send for service they will replace it with a copper part now. well, at least my SC did that la.

No. It is just more expensive and higher performance. It does not translate to longer life. tongue.gif

In other words, imagine u put 5 fishes in one tank, and 7 fishes in another tank... if any of the fish dies, means the tank fails... Not the best, but I hope you get the analogy. Although, I hope it will reduce the 'dimming' effect whenever aircon compressor switch on. We'll see.
You mean this?

hi guys..
im interested to know some info about exora..
what is the FC of it?
according to the website guidelines, it mentioned 7.2L/100 km.. if true, then 1 full tank can travel about 600km.. which i doubt it..

So i believe asking owners of exora will know the more accurate answer than the online guidelines.
2 options here: city driving and highway driving.
thanks!!
*
Lol impossible. My average about 12l/100km for city driving. Highwaya bit better. Probably 10-11L. Unless my car got problem sad.gif

Go to the rear of the car, look underneath
To remove spare wheel, open rear tailgate..look at the boot floor u will see a spare tyre logo, pry open that cover and use wrench to remove the nut.

Changed my tyres to Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 just last week, and could immediately feel the difference in tyre noise too tongue.gif

What conti tyres did you get?
*
Yeah even cruising at 140km/h seemed pretty silent too.

conti comfort contact cc5

______

on a side note my wiper is mulfunctioning rclxub.gif

it doesn't go all the way back now on the slowest speed. wiper will move up and then hang there. have to use maximum speed to get it down and then immediately off the wiper

Previously when reaching such speeds, all I hear is tyre noise. Now all I hear is wind noise laugh.gif

yeah good tires make a huge difference in handling. now when people bash cars having poor handling have to ask what tires they are using.

Hi ,

Is engine mineral oil can last for 6 months before next service?

My Exora Turbo '14 is weekend ride, mileage is very low and sure <5,000 km in 6 months.

Last service the SC stamped '3 months' for next service , but i see official Proton service interval is 6 months.

So which is which, am confused.
*
technically should service every 3 months or every 5000-10,000 km whichever comes first
