another VIVA owner reported in.. owned it since Oct 2007 .. passion read Ezi 1000cc.. already PMed TS about me ..

too bad after 1 month got some accident.. need to change bumper and the engine cover cos kemek dy (the fella's fault). saw 1 black viva at SC kena accident 100x more worst than mine! n i think the car is just few days on the road nia that time :S..

some problem encountered during this few months:

1. tailgate alarm - actually notice this by myself..only for the SC guy to told me that they can install it for free cos it's a defect.

2. door light (the one that will light on when the door dint close properly) - i asked them to check on the first service, then they said ok dy.. few days later it came back again.. then i do some validation myself n found out that if i apply some force to the driver's door (from inside push outwards) the light will be turn on (clearly wiring issue!) they fixed that after i demo to them and it's as good as it is suppose to until today

3. FC - sumtimes very economical (~14-16 cent /km) sumtimes super petrolholic (~19 cent /km)..

4. air cond - sumtime the 1st level very cold, most of the time 3rd level also feel hot ( i did not tint) - going to get this checked during next service

5. petrol indicator - happen recently that the 7th bar n 6th bar dissappear in range of 10km driving!!! OMG what happen ler.. suspect faulty unit or oil leak (maybe that's y 19 cent/km).. going to check also..

6. i think the hole to insert oil pump too narrow.. cos the petrol pump usually automatic stop when it reaches rm49++.. i have to continue press it my own until i think it's really full. (+rm4 also not yet split out). i think the feedback is too soon ler.

like many ppl, bought it cause got discount.. else head for waja dy.. waja that time also got rm3k discount but need to top up ~3k also for the dp

mine 1 all normal... but this morning the main screen seems going black out a while...

mine 1 took about 2 weeks also.. but since the car still can move, i drive it for about 1 week then onli send to the SC (1 week to wait the component to arrive and also insurans stuffs)

to add a pair of fog lamp, need to have new bumper (unless u dare to cut two holes in current bumper).

other parts should be ok to puchase one by one..

i asked about the bodykits too from the authorized SC and they gave me a catalog... full package is 4k++

next week my 3rd service dy.. felt like pushing the car too hard sometimes.. using it thru n flo from penang to kl few times dy

i'm using UniAsia.. not bad,,

that day i got accident which the fault is on other party. i proceed to SC to do those claiming stuff. at first, i receive letter said that my insurance had paid for the repair cost.. im start to wondering why my insurance need to pay and call them. they told me this is new policy to enhance the speed of claiming (otherwise need to wait 1 month). n since it's not my fault in the accident, my NCB will not be disturbed (i.e i still enjoy the discount)..

good job uniasia!

anything but Kurnia pls.. and you should make sure the insurance provide free tow service.. also i encourage to roll in KAPMA too since it has free tow service as well.. best is they will tow to nearest authorized SC instead of third party bengkel like what those insurance company did.

why need duit kopi while making report? i though the duit kopi is given when the SC fella need to access other party's report? my SC kaotim that for me too.

you need to ask the agent lor.. usually they will.. MAA Uniasia ING and KAPMA sure have.. not sure about Allianz though. if you ask me about claim then i maybe can answer

whoa.. tomorrow.. why choose Viva instead of cheaper BLM?

spec?

two weeks? mine 2 days settle for you.. just need pay rm5 only.

what to do, accident rate at KL is higher than Penang i think..

be patient ya..

oh.. i thought your answer is because it's small enough..

ehehe.. me also Red

nop.. from Selangor.. working in Penang now.. using Penang Plate no. too

ehehehe..



anyway, my viva FC starts to return to normal (as in what a Viva should consume).. BKM is drive below 3k rpm

chinese / other race will speed up no matter how small the road is?

i saw the news.. hopefully Viva wont have such problem.. other soft problem nevermind but that is serious one

alignment need to protect the car tyre.. the alignment is to make sure the car drive straight when the stering is in center position.. dont know how to explain about balancing

dint do it frequently though...

i recommend air cool// can go as cheap as rm300 and top rm1k

i think the best JPJ approved spec is 70% visibility from outside.. but the darker it is doesnt mean the UV penetration /infrared penetration is lowered too.. it's totally not related though..
