Hi guys.this is the first time I am buying perodua car Bezza.What is the thing that I need to check or aware when taking the new car from sales gallery? thanks

scarcthes especially

and spare tire n those tools in it

most important

Yes its ECU controlled, you may turn off ECO to test it.

Don't seem to be able to find a way to switch off the ECO setting

There is, please refer the manual book.

That turns off the "ECO" light in the dash. Not the Eco mode itself. That one cannot.

Hey, maybe I can share some tips or encounters for you or others here...

AVG counter should be good enough, but it must be reset depending on what you want to measure

Ie. I pump full tank, reset it, drive from PJ to Melaka, reach destination and read the AVG meter, I got 23.Xkm/l for that journey.

This was a very special case! It was raining moderately all the way, traffic was really good and everyone on the road kept steady at about 7 to 12 cars distance.
The speed was about 60-95km/h. There were many times at downhill slopes on the highway, I could just let go of the pedal and let the car glide by itself and enter fuel cut. When reach Melaka town i was impressed.

(You can monitor fuel cut, it happens when you are above 55km/h or so and let go throttle completely. The real time meter goes to 99.9km/l, if you are on good road surface and have a good ear, you can literally hear the fuel injectors stop ticking)

I also find that for moderate slopes (not very steep / Genting kind) or even generally, the car is most efficient around 90km/h

Ie. To maintain 90km/h up a slight slope, the real-time meter is about 15 -18km/l
Ie. To maintain 70km/h up a slight slope, the real-time meter is about 11 -14km/l

Where I stay and work no need say lah (PJ area), so many slope roads here and there and so many traffic lights for bloody short distances, max is about 13km/l. Previously driving myvi around 10km/l... pretty ok lah.

Nevertheless I also observed the car is most efficient after it has entered 3rd gear. At 3rd, the real time km/l is above 10 already at light throttle...

I believe the earliest shift to 3rd happens at about 35km/h. Also, once u are in 3rd and 4th, the gearbox applies the lock-up clutch at light and moderate throttle for best efficiency.

Hmm i think lastly try not to linger too long below 30km/h, last time i thought if I accelerate sloooowly below this speed it will give good consumption, nope. It's actually saves more if can reach 40km/h or above in reasonable time. Don't floor it or be aggressive but don't linger below it too long either. If you watch the real time fuel meter at the lower speeds, you will know what i mean At this speed even at light throttle, no car out there can give good figures (except hybrids )

The real time meter really helps to have a glance on how much fuel is being used at that moment and situation, but don't get too distracted and stay safe! Cheers

Guys someone went n scratch my car from front to back and the scratch is quite deep. Will repainting be ok or how do I solve the scratch issue?

how deep? why not go survey few paint shops and get their input. Sometime they said polish can come off

guys my bezza 1.3 sometimes when i accelerate i can hear a tuck, tuck, tuck sound from engine. Anyone experience this too? It only happens sometimes, not often enough to show the service center people.

sounds like from AC, try turn off AC and see.. issue reported.

ya i think there is no sound if ac is off. I think only, need to try driving with ac off more to see does the sound appears. Is this normal or is this a sign of something failing?

no need, alternator is made to suit 35Ah only, change to larger capacity will put stress on it.

i also wondering too, will check with SC when come to next service. i think is the pending issue/solution posted on 1st page:

1. There is a "tik tik" sound coming from around the dashboard area near the driver side
Pending answer.

sifu, any advice to the car battery if the car is not being used for more than a month? probably due to oversea working and nobody else to warm up the engine?
