For braking during downhill descent..

Manual cars vs auto cars.
In the bezza, I was trying my best to keep the car at 3k rpm ascending genting.
That, I find is where the vvt comes alive.
Meaning that the camshaft switches from eco to performance.
In a manual car, its easy to maintain that rpm and thus get the most of the engine going uphill. Or taking a corner or racing.
If bezza can select 1st gear manually, then that would be great..
Certain areas where I wished the gearbox gb will just shift to 1st but it stubbornly maintains 2nd and forces the engine to lug around at 1.5k rpm..
All the while going uphill, my acceleratior pedal was to the metal, full on.
This is not ideal..
We are not in control of the car, the car is in control of us. This is an auto going to genting.
In a manual, I am in control of the car..
The middle ground will be a semi auto car where we can control or place the gb in any gear we choose and have auto.
That's why cars with sporting intentions have either manual gb or semi auto gb like the selespeed, dsg (vw gti), porsche pdk or fully controllable full auto gb (which can handle the torque) but not the cvt.. Cvt gb can't handle to high torque of performance engines..

Nah..
It doesn't affect the car..
The faster u go, the more air is needed to burn the petrol, so more air runs thru the air plenum which then makes a sound like u sucking air thru ur teeth..
Some cars have a more pronounced sound than others..
No big deal.
Don't worry, be happy..
Heh

shud be la...
i didnt pay attention, sorry...
too much other noises ler...
like tire roar noise, lol

but thats only if we are talking about the same sound la...

had another car that, when going at 140-160, there was this subtle, how to explain it,...
this sound of an air compressor air escaping but at a much lower pitch but quieter ..

different car makes different air intake sounds due to the air duct design.

whats ur milage like...
i have the same kmL as u, till i drive slower...
but my milage now is around 14.5k km..
engine has loosened up abit...
nowadays town gets me around 12.5 kmL

then look at the brand of fuel and driving style...
if i'm stressed re work and need to buy time, then my kmL can once reach 10+
but then i'm one of the fastest bezza around town la...
includes slapping the gear down to 2nd and revving to 5k rpm is normal...

ya man
city start/stop driving takes a major toll on FC

i'm a cheapskate apek who got a premX version,
heh

ooo.. this nice to know
thanks!

Distilled water into acid solution in the battery.
It's very corrosive and will damage plastic, paint and metal..
Need to do a thorough wash as the dryer the acid gets the more potent it gets.
If u smell a certain sweetiish kind of smell, means the acid is still around, continue washing..
But having said that, I'm not sure if u are at risk of shorting out the electronics in the engine..
I don't think u'll get anything from the SC as u accepted the car without checking and they have a strong case in saying that it was u who did the damage yourself due to your own negligence but blaming them, the SC...
It's your word against theirs.
But u can bring the matter up and see what comes of it but my advise is to not hope for much..
All the best.!

Ya man..
Anything is better than nothing..

Mabbe blew a fuse?
Possibly from faulty cable, or drawing more than 2 ampere?

Mine's still OK (finding wood to touch)
Heh

Hmmm..
Ok..
Sounds like a loose connection for that USB port.
That, for sure is covered under warranty..

Travelling on hyway with 2 over weight adults and 2 teenagers.
Doing 18.9 kmL.

Fully loaded like this, no sheer wind steerage..
Feels stable at 130 km/h.
Rpm at 3.3k.
Tire preasure at 135 kpa.
Ok kua..

When travelling alone then the car is susceptible to shear wind steerage.

Weight matters and this is one and only one moment where its useful being over weight.. Lol

Happy New year people!
May 2019 bring happiness and prosperity!
All the best in the coming year!

I damaged mine too.
But I figure that I'll damage it again..
So didn't bother to replace it..
I call it my damage indicator before I damage bumper.. Lol

Just did a 600km run on hyways and byways.
17.7 average kmL.
Spend about rm80 for the trip.
Cheap as chips..
My pocket is very happy..
But at 16+k km, strange sounds appearing on back suspension going over bumps and sounds from the glove compartment.
Have to turn music louder to dampen those sounds.. Lol

Mid this month is service time..
Let's see if the SC can do something about those sounds..

Lol
True..
Spend on nvh..

not sure man..
not even sure if i hear it in my car....
i'll pay more attention next time...
but initially, i'd say that there's nothing wrong???

i dont think i have that kind of sound...
but by the time i'm driving at 80 and above kmh, i'm concentrating on driving leh...
but will keep an ear out for it...

but the sound i hear mabbe from ur GB...
Or player electrical interference??

But the sound doesn't seem serious..
Don't stress it la..
Relax,
Life aledi lots of stress, don't look for more..
Wait until u have kids.. Wah.. Thats stress.. Lol
