The front right air has been distributed to the rear.

Kawata coil mat, 18mm.

Odour free.

what do you mean? you mean the rain water leaked into rear door carpet?

Which spec?

and quoted price how much without insurance?

Just top up with normal tap water will do. Even if you top up to full in the expansion tank, there is always an overflow tube to let the extra water escape in the event of overflow.

Although if you study in-depth automotive cooling system, book will tell you only put "distilled water" into radiator due to those mineral in water will make your radiator and water passage become rusty. But in my opinion that is abit too much. SC in malaysia, even conti brand will just top up coolant level using tap water.

In theory, yes it is the best but in reality, not necessary.

The antifreeze additive is there to prevent corrosion in your cooling system.

The best result of course is to use FULLY manufacturer specified pre-mixed coolant.

Have you experienced the rattling sound?

The rattling noise for FL city usually from the plastic steering cover (located below your steering wheel) and the sun visor (driver side) when you drive through uneven road.

Buy new car , follow maintenance schedule, original features = warranty.

Buy new car, sendiri DIY some light task, mod here mod there a little bit = hoping not voiding warranty.

SC here already kind enough to tolerate some cosmetic mod like rim / spoiler / body kit etc.

Why dont delay all the mod / DIY to after warranty period? so you can have a refreshed feel of your car?

Or why dont buy a second hand if you are able to DIY to save cost?

What problem do you experienced so far?

This 1 is common.

The culprit is the plastic steering cover

i manage to get ~13km/l.

Daily drive in klang valley.

Try shell or BHP.

Do you on ECO mode?

And learn how to "use" cvt transmission. Else the rubber band effect will make you always have high rpm

Pinjam topic from another forum :

Generally speaking is to constantly control your accelerator pedal. When you are accelerating from standstill, sometime you will experience a situation where engine rpm is high but the car is not moving fast, ie in high gear ratio.

In this situation you will then need to lift off the accelerator pedal a little bit in to change gear. Constant high rev results in high fuel consumption.

Oxidation occur when your engine oil contact with oxygen regardless you start the engine or not.

Not to forget Malaysia's weather are always hot and humid, which will deteriorate operating fluids even you didnt use the car.

Let me give you another example, Brake Fluid. Do you know that brake fluid is hygroscopic? ie it will absorb water over period of time. This is why manufacturer stated time-based maintenance and mileage based maintenance for automobile. Maintenance has to be carry out to ensure operating fluids are in good conditions to prolong engine lifespan.

Buta-buta follow mileage to service also another problem. Imagine in Klang Valley you had a bad traffic where just move 5KM in an hour. The odometer recorded only 5km but in actual your engine has been running non stop for 1 hour. The resource consumption in this case is not taken into account.

For continental cars like BMW the maintenance interval is like 15,000km. The result? Engine oil sludge. Google it and you will find more info.

It all depends on 2 things :

1. Driving style (Whether is always hard cornering / slow & steady type of driving)
2. Regular maintenance (Regular inspection on alignment and balancing. And also properly inflate tyre pressure)

To gauge whether the tyre still can be use, normally we look for thread depth. If tyre thread is still good but there are sign of cracking / side wall bulge wall then it is time to change.

Have you checked your tyre pressure?

New car tyre pressure usually over inflated and will cause your ride to be bumpy.

From the preventive maintenance point of view, yes. Changing fuel filter regularly it is to prevent fuel line being contaminated.

Err...i believe it is not dashboard's noise, it is usually the plastic steering cover freeplay that causes the noise.

The plastic steering cover is just located underneath the steering wheel. Tap slowly with your finger should be able to produce same noise.

Like that no choice have to send to SC.

But i'm always afraid if they remove & install the dashboard more noise will come afterwards
