Almost all model back to 4 cylinders turbocharge engine. Customer voices are putting that demand, NVH are main criteria. 3 cylinders doesn matter how much effort make for the anti vibration practice, it still vibrates more than 4 cylinders. And FC not differ that much for 3 vs 4 cylinders when both in turbocharge engine

Definitely 4 pot more stable, what I meant is hater gonna hate, regardless what change they sure will suspect something. Like in this specific comment that I referred to, even the 4 pot were an upgrade, some could still suspect it was for cost saving and trust Volvo engine were the better ones

This is my experience. When I drive the car, stepping on the acceleration will mildly trigger a takk takk takk ratling noise, coming from engine bay, left side. Today went to service center and they say change the grounding cable. After that, no more noise.

The noise does not appear every time you step on the acceleration, but it does appear very consistently over a period of time. Will disappear once you let go of your foot.

Luckily now it is gone. Claimed warranty. 4 year old car.

Same, previously ppl say is Flywheel sound, but look like is GC tightening only

people did mention SC change the grounding cable and that tak tak sound gone.
i think thats for my case too, as they fix the flywheel like 8hour. as i passing car to SC like 1~2pm, and they say they done next morning 9am. and no gearbox oil changed.
me on outskirt, not main city like JB/KL...so that less an issue especially me here oil palm truck move like 90+...you cant slower than that right?  whistling.gif

but if me calm on pedal, i think i can get 12km/l + but much weaker than my almera.. thats why i looking for next car already, because using this car i keep going petrol station (not cost wise, just keep going station)

So far closing in 5th years, gearbox engine still good, and no funny noise. I'm quite happy with my unit especially sideloaded with AA in pre-atlas GKUI HU

me 8 month to full 5yr.

so far only changed 1 alternator pulley, 2 battery, 1 set of tyre (going 2nd set soon), all 4 window regulator bracket
claimed when in warranty: flywheel/gearbox grounding cable? (this one i not sure)
awaiting similar spec-ed car like Jaecoo J7 PHEV/C9 PHEV(HUUUGE Battery) and dont want that stupid retractable door handle:w

I'm looking for bigger car to accomodate bigger family,
Looking at X90 but turn me off with the odd gear design and absent of AA, additionally the phasing out 3 pot cylinder engine.

Other alternatives include the spacious Innova Zenix, but a step down on interior design and material use wise, including some smart feature like auto wiper, heck this so called new Toyota still using steel bone wiper blade, although that means cheaper to maintain but at this age of time... thumbup.gif
