That I am not sure, because the moment I received the copy of quote for parts.. I erased the thought from mind ady..

I realised that sometime when I’m in P gear switching to D gear it will have the kroong kind of sound. Does anyone encounter that?

Question:
1. is your car parked on slope?
2. Do you put on your handbrake fully?

1. Nope. Is a flat surface.
2. Usually I pull my handbrake quite hard. So I think is a yes.

What people suggest is to fully stop your car using foot brake, shift to neutral, pull handbrake. Lift off foot brake, feel the car settled, then shift to P. Try this and see if problem persists

Is there any smartlink update? My new phone android os 9 is not supported for the smartlink

I always do like this 1. stop the car using foot brake. 2 engage to P. 3. released foot brake (car move slightly) 4. Pull hand brake. 4. stop engine. Is this correct way please advise, (always park on flat surface).

Nope. Your sequence slightly different from the one i described.

You noticed after you engage P, then when you release foot brake, your car move slightly. Means now your car is resting on your transmission (P). So when you wanna disengage the next time, it's harder.

If you pull handbrake while in N. Let the car settle down (rest on your handbrake), then only you engage P, then the weight is not resting on your transmission, allowing it to disengage from parking lock easier.

Anyone has experience changing tyre around Dengkil area? Any shop that you guys can recommended?

-stop the car with foot brake on
-engage to N
-pull handbrake
-release foot brake
-engage to P
-off engine

my bezza advance passanger side drive shaft is gone have to change, any suggestion where to buy ori parts ?

gone = spoiled/stolen?

spoiled liao

I just realised the I usually reverse parking.
so i will usually just shift from R to P.

What if I reverse park? Because in that case I will just shift from R to P with my foot brake on, before releasing foot brake, will pull handbrake. then after that only release foot brake.

don't R straight to P

-regardless of it is R/D/2/3/L
-stop the car with foot brake on
-engage to N
-pull handbrake
-release foot brake
-engage to P
-off engine

Like what above poster said, always fully stop, engage to N and let car settle down to handbrake before shifting to P.

Give you an example. If you park on the slope, you shift to P before you pull handbrake, you will never know if your handbrake is pulled tightly enough or not. Hence, is it your parking brake supporting the car weight on inclination, or your transmission lock?

It takes time to change that habit but it's a good habit regardless what car you drive (unless you buy luxury cars like certain Lexus which engage parking brake for you)

Whats the maximum weight can the boot handle?

Hi guys just wanna share hav just used an OBD2 bluetooth scanner, it works with Bezza 1.3 (Av). The car supports native OBD2 unlike earlier Peroduas. Nice stuff to check on vehicle health from time to time.





Car is at 60k mileage. Recently notice radiator fan spinning more often, especially when AC is set more towards hot or completely off. Found out that our Bezza turns on the radiator fan at 101 degree celcius sharp ECT (Engine coolant temperature). So probably the coolant needs flushing & replacment or shared AC/engine fan motor is degrading. Could b coolant pump degrading too, dunno how to benchmark this

Also notice long term & short term fuel trims (LTFT / STFT) are heading towards positive.. interesting. Seems ECU sees engine runs very slighty lean and its adding fuel. Many causes possible n will probably will try DIY preventive maintenance stuff that am capable of.

Change battery recently about 2 week ago and seems like the O2 sensor did not manage to relearn yet...

Only thing it doesnt seem to support any transmission parameters and recently, my gearbox once in a blue moon has a little soft click during 2-3 shifts, will be interesting if someone made a plugin that can read these

All in all really cool for a nerd 😎

nice one bro. another observation is the blue light went off at 50C sharp. About your LTFT and STFT, it means that your engine think that your AFR is too rich so it lean it out. I'm kinda surprised that the o2 sensor took so long time to learn though.
