Yayy the infamous kruk kruk sound is here. So after i call the sc. how lond does it usually take to replace? Do i need to leave the car at the sc? #krukruk 🤣🤣

I recently got my car like 1 month now. running 3k km already

I notice on the first day of taking car, allignment run to the left.
Even after doing alignment and balancing at 1k km by SC ( they wanted to charge me) , its slightly improved but its still pulling to the left.

Any idea whats wrong with this ?

did you notice any petrol smell when you pump full tank petrol? if yes then maybe the filter didnt sealed properly and cause petrol evaporating

petrol consumption is calculate by L/100km, not how much you pump vs distance traveled

Can be a number of issues, depending on how willing the technician is, can take about an hour.

Any parts replacement on the suspension will take at least 1.5 hours.


Just bring it to outside tyre shops for alignment, they can do better. The SC may state alignment, but i suspect either just box ticking or crap job as my previous 2 "alignment" job done by SC is pretty much a fail in my experience.

From my past experience, SC does not provide free alignment service

No petrol smell..
I used rm50 for 120km cos its obvious that something is not right.

Anyway the fc is now back to normal after the 3rd time i refuel. But im still wondering what caused the crazy fc

understand they dont provide, because it was a new car , was around 2 weeks old that time , i expect them not to have these issue.

Any news soul red crystal this month? Or year end discounts?

Thanks for the info. The tweeters seems like flat to me. Anyway installation of Bose sound system costs how ,much if you know...

that is one crazy FC.
same pump ? or different station on the last one ?
sometime i also get crazy FC with my cars. but i suspected those pump stations faulty machine or tamper the pumps.

Anybody install aftermarket alarm system? I am looking to install cabin motion sensor which is absent for Mazda and to retain the stock alarm system. Not into viper or extra features. Any recommendation? Honda has ultrasonic and Toyota too. Looking for this system.

Installing an after market alarm system will void your warranty but it's better to void part of your warranty than to have your car stolen right?

2years car drive on weekend only now dashboard meter triangle and istop symbol always lit.
Using CTEK charger charge weekly and keep monitoring battery voltage.
Every Friday before start engine or charge check battery voltage at 12.50v still in good condition?

The dashboard indicator says the battery condition is not good enough for i-stop. Don't argue with it.

The battery isn't in condition to support istop function, but battery generally still ok to crank start.

If drop to below 12.3V, the risk of battery dying becomes really high, so you weigh your options and risks. You can see my own experience :

I also used a ctek charger to maintain by the way, didn't manage to extend the battery life as i hoped.

Thanks for sharing experiences battery low voltage benchmark at 12.3v.

i last time also tried to charge the battery, to try lengthen its lifespan, but quite soon after, it started getting warning signals like yours now

not sure if our external chargers are somehow not suitable

I believe it helped a bit, but not as significant as hoped. Chargers work best with deep cycle batteries (AGM type), EFB is just "enhanced" normal lead acid battery.

Read your experiences and .. Have to view the alternator differently and rethink the whole battery home charging.

Man, these stories are depressing.

When did you start putting your car battery to battery charger routine charging? From day one when it was new or half way its battery life? If half way through its battery life may be it could be too late to prolong battery life I wonder?
