try to reproduce it on the straight line, i mean stop at a straight road, by the road side, ensure safety upon exit, and then whack it hard. if the sound doesn't happen it could be due to drive shaft related.

anyhow, such symptoms should point to SC, reproduce it to them so that they can study and you got the warranty claimed (if possible)

so far there's no such problem on my bezza advance. but i will keep an eye on it.

for me, whenever the waiting time is projected to be more than 30 seconds i will put it to neutral. That is when i driving non start stop cars.
For my bezza advance, i will take advantage of eco idle to the max especially in the morning and night, noon time usually i switch it off.
A rough calculation is our bezza need to be on eco idle for at least 5 seconds for the fuel saving to make sense. reason being is during restart the injector need to inject more fuel to bring back the engine alive, which is significantly more than what it requires during idling.

an LED requires proper cooling, the amount of heat that an LED emits is comparable with normal halogen or slightly lower, the different between halogen bulb is the heat is also radiated from the burning filament, but not the case for LED, the only heat escape path for LED is through their own material (they don't have filament to radiate the heat) thus cooling is super important for LED.

true true. bezza, axia & new myvi gearbox have a different atf cooling compared to old myvi and alza, i'm not sure how it will be for long term. As ordinary layman believe is "the cooler your ATF gets, the longer life it can be". The old myvi and alza ones passed through underneath radiator while new ones passed through a heat exchanger where hot water flowing in.

per bezza user manual, when the fuel indicator blinks, you are at 6.3 liters fuel capacity balance. and like you said, the fuel pump should be heating up when the fuel level past below a quarter as there's lesser and lesser petrol to cool it down.

the range is simply an estimated value based on your average fuel consumption in the recent drive, how recent it is? nobody knows.

Let's say, you are driving full city drive and the range falls to 50km, the next moment it starts blinking --- and you are already travelling on highway with silky smooth traffic, with that, i'm pretty sure you can go more than 50km before your tank runs dry. It is also same principe if you driving on highway and it goes to 50km range, the next moment it starts blinking --- you are joining a bumper to bumper traffic, guess you can't even survive 25km travel.

genuine obd adapter should cost three digit to start with, and you need to install a paid version of obd reader app in your smart phone.

bezza engine is 11.5:1 compression ratio (compared to old myvi engine CR 10:1), higher compression ratio = hotter engine. Plus the engine bay is so tight, it make things hotter.

you try to connect to your bezza? I tried on my friend's blue colour ELM327, he said cheap cheap one, but he forgot where he bought it already, i can get the reading from my car ECU, nice and accurate (at least the reading value obtained is logical numbers)

fan motor gets worn by time, either it give up slowly or it give up totally. usually it will show some sign before it totally fails (generally). it happens to my old saga blm when the fan wasn't as loud as it should be, i was wondering and have a check. the fan bearing was gone. it still turns, and still blowing air but it is not as strong as it should. SO you need to be alert to all these little signs. With bezza, i think is a bit hard to tell as the fan is not that noisy if you compare to old myvis. So this will be challenging.

nowadays, due to cost constraint, it will be hard to have two fan setting for small displacement engine unless it is a high performance engine, the only modern 1300cc car that i know of that come with 2 fan setup is honda insight. I'm not sure about fiesta 1.0 ecoboost though.

probably penang as well.

not really..... vios engine bay is good for 2 fans and they still using one fan config. i think it is driven by cost, 2 fans = more cost.

and.... it is not about more cooling = better nowadays, modern engine need to be hot to be efficient. Probably is about the thermal efficiency or something. I do believe engineers does study through the cooling needs before they make their decisions.

yeah bro, keep us posted, i'm maximizing the eco idle and make sure the leaf lit up as much as it could, still, i just doing 13km ish per liter (average number based on three refuels), tyre pressure stock, aircond only a quarter setting on the coldness, everything stock. probably due to jam and frequent stop go routes.

looks nice,will your leg hit the steering when you get in? my car steering always just nice meaning my leg is just barely gone through. this is the drawback of not having adjustable steering.

from the photo the wraparound looks like thicker than bezza ones.... guess the diameter should eb the same, just the optical illusion due to thicker wraparound of the steering wheel makes it looks smaller.

bezza 1.0 is very capable in city drive, to be more specific, low speed driving. as the final gear ratio is higher than on bezza 1.3, and the engine torque is ample even during mid low rpm range.


no worries, i seen cars with 110C reading ( my friend old C class, he says it's normal.). as the radiator cap is a pressurized cap, so water temp exceeding 100C will not turn into steam. i bet the 101 degree is the temperature obtain during bumper to bumper traffic jam with the gear engaged, or maybe you going uphill with high rpm low speed... Normally it should be like 94 ish..... if you going downhill it can hit like 89 C, but i'm not sure about prolong down hill let's say from cameron highland or genting highlands etc.

it's unfair to compare proton cars with perodua cars, they are a world apart, weight itself already so different, not to mention about chassis tuning etc. it just like compare perodua vs proton fc.

utilize the "primitive" regenerative braking functionality on bezza when going down hill. to save a tat of brake pads.

basically perodua brakes are not well perform if we compare it to proton ones.

when you don't want the engine to shift up to higher gear. like when going uphill.

just take a grab daily. it saves your maintenance, insurance, road tax and parking charges, and potential summons
