I hope can be part of u here.. biggrin.gif

From the past 1600km experience, so far so good... the fuel consumption is quite impressing me though... what you guys think?

Welcome bryangia! Glad you found our thread helpful. Feel free to ask us anything here. I agree with you that the fuel consumption for this car is damn good - compared to the old FD2 at least - i'm averaging at 14km/l at the moment. What about you?
*
Mine one is around 12km/l for 100% city drive without ECON mode. For 100% highway, with 70% auto cruise at 120km/h & 30% trip with more or around the preset speed, is 19km/L.
By the way, I am using RON97 for this direct injection engine... how about you all?

I using petrol ron97 but will change to 95 after the next pump

Dude, Consider to keep it with RON97 to minimize the carbon deposit on intake valve? DI engine need extra care.
In Malaysia, RON95 is euro 2 grade, and RON97 is euro4 grade, meaning RON97 is much more cleaner.
Below is some link for the reason behind.

Haha,

Tis is kinda sticky point.. abt how useless is burning a higher octane fuel when a cheaper lower one suffices..
But in my experiences.. 97 gives a little better FC [ I hv experimented n it gvs me a 1 to 2% better mileage - of cos it is not worth it to fill up wif 97 for FC alone..]
Oso, l read tat de petrol companies add better 'cleaners/additive' to their more 'expensive' fuel [kinda makes sense] n for de direct injection turbo Civic especially, itll help in keeping de engine cleaner [note tat .. the 'ang-mohs' recommend a 'catch-tank' - injen's de name to help tis - but tis voids warranty la.. ]

Me no expert - jus sharing wat l have read

Oh, it is not the "knocking" thing concerns or the Fuel consumption concern, is about the cleanliness of the fuel to minimize the carbon deposit on the intake valve. For "knocking" concern, if I remember correctly, the manual is recommend RON91 or above?

RON95 is euro 2 grade while RON97 is euro 4 grade, meaning RON97 is cleaner. To take good care of the DI engine, cleaner gasoline will be better to minimize the carbon deposit.
With Turbo DI engine, I will get RON97. smile.gif

Yes. If really pump RON 95, go for BHP with euro 3-4 grade. I always pump BHP RON 95.

"During the launch of Infiniti Advanced2X petrol, available in both the RON95 and RON97, James Khoo, BHPetrol's retail and supply director revealed that the sulphur content in BHPetrol's fuel are on average 75 percent lower than the Euro 2M standard mandated by Malaysian authorities.

James said the actual sulphur content may differ slightly from one shipment to another, but they will never exceed 200 ppm (parts per million), which is still well below the Euro 2M standard of 500 ppm.

On certain shipments, they may even go as low as 12 ppm, which is already approaching the Euro 5 standard of 10 ppm"

Yeah...not sure when Malaysia can have Euro 5 standard or above like other country.... still waiting.... lol

Hey bro,

I am a convert of better fuel.. of cos when times are hard n every little bit counts .. its hard to pump 97 .., Difference can be quite a lot for a tankful..
BHP not very convenient for Penangite as minimal stations ..

Guys, I just read the manual. The remote key supposing can be used to open/close the car window, but with note "*but not in all model". I tried but not manage to do it. So can I assume this function is not available here? Thx..

Sigh... can add me to the list of people with the rattling dashboard sound coming from the right side  sad.gif

Also, anyone else having the following problems?

1) Strange sound when starting engine (sometimes only). Like some grinding sound

2) clicking sound coming from dashboard/instrument panel during low speeds (approx. 30-50km/h). Happens randomly. Similar to the clicking sound before autolock engages when speeding up.

I have the #1 problem too. I think this is the #5 current known issues as listed in page1 for this thread.

There were some sharing and discussion about the tips of taking care of turbo engine within my lunch buddy today.

The sharing is something as inside this link. http://www.motoringassist.com/motoring-adv...our-cars-turbo/

1. When starting your car from cold, do not race the engine immediately from idle. Allow between 5-10 seconds for the engine oil to reach the turbocharger.

2. Never operate the engine under full power until the engine oil has warmed thoroughly. When the lubricant is cold, it remains thick and gloopy and cannot lubricate the turbocharger effectively, until warmed and thinned.

3. Old and tired oil cannot protect the turbocharger adequately. Therefore, do not extend the oil change interval beyond that recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

4. Low-grade oil cannot protect the turbocharger adequately. Therefore, always use oil of not only the correct viscosity but also to the correct quality API specification (the details are noted within the vehicle handbook and also on the sides of canisters).

5. A turbocharger works its hardest during sustained high speeds. After a long motorway drive, it is possible that a turbocharger might be glowing orangey-red hot. Shutting the engine off immediately after a long run, such as when stopping at a motorway service station, might cause severe damage, because the internal turbine will not have slowed down sufficiently, plus the extreme heat generated may not been given sufficient opportunity to dissipate. Always allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds, prior to switching off the ignition. If your car is equipped with ‘stop-start’ technology, disable it in this instance, should it be switchable.

6. Never ‘blip’ the throttle, prior to switching off the ignition. This makes the turbocharger’s turbines accelerate but, when the ignition is cut, you starve the still-rotating turbine of lubricant. This can damage the bearings and increases the risk of premature failure substantially.

What say you? smile.gif

Point 1 to 4 applicable to all cars as long as there's engine oil in it.

2nd half part of point 2 is not applicable to our climate, even our normal cold mornings are considered "warm" in terms of the operating climate range. Our climate will not cause the engine oil to be thick and gloopy. Only climates below 10C need to take note of this.

For point 4, just avoid those unknown brand la....if really unsure of the various brands, just go for those brands that also sell petrol or those that the SC recommends. For japanese cars, the engines are not so picky unlike those from continental brands.

Point 6 is really stupid, who does that before turning off their cars??
*
Additional for point 2, some more our car is with the 0w-20 oil too..

yeah point 6 is damn stupid... lol.

I think for point 1 , as long as we didn't step hard on the accelerator just after we start the engine, it should be ok without waiting too..

For point 5, After a long and high speed drive on highway, normally i will drive slow before reach the destiny and stop the car, so i didn't follow this too..haha...

I bought it through ezbuy(65daigou). I think in order to ship the item from taobao, you need a agent for the shipment after you buy the item from the seller. Normally the seller won't ship it directly to oversea buyer. I used ezbuy because it is easy as the name. tongue.gif. They bought it for me and ship the items to me in 1 shot..

Later he said pls read manual... I confirm kasi Hantam the guy.

Do you plan for the car inspection before the registration? Normally i will go for the inspection 1st before my car is registered.

During the handover, my SA spend around 1 hour with me. Basically went through the checklist and educated me about the basic function of this car.

Can you do a quick review after installing? notworthy.gif

The screen protector is perfectly fit on the screen and the sensitivity is almost the same as before. I tried to zoom in/out and dragging the google map, it is as smooth as before the installation. The screen is quite clear with the screen protector too..The other good thing is it is hard and I believe can resisting the light scratches like nail scratch.
I think can buy. smile.gif

By the way, I get the screen protector through https://world.taobao.com/item/531581380676....0.9CrMJj#detail

The most expensive type.
