How to break-in the new engine..

"For the first few 100 miles, maybe you shouldn't get past 4000 rpm. Then you can gradually go higher and by maybe 1500 miles, you can start to push it to 5000 rpm. Do not run it up to 5000 rpm and just hold it there;
rev it up as you're driving and change up quickly when you get to
5000 rpm.

When you get up to 2000 miles or more, maybe you might like to try
running it up to the redline for brief spurts. I learnt that this is
helpful for the engine from a racing driver and mechanic. You
accelerate in 2nd gear up the the redline and shift up right away.
Don't hold it there longer than a shift action. Why? The high revs
give the engine a 'taste' of that sort of condition and prepares it
for the ability to cope with such conditions. It's like when you do
a high-speed run down the highway and after that, the engine feels
nice and free-revving (although that's more of the oil being well
circulated too)."

Found it on the web.. should I do this when i get my car ?

There are a few things differences between B-Line and M-Line, i will list them down 1 by 1.
1. Reverse Sensor
2. Driver Seat Airbag
3. Electric Door Mirror
4. Seat Height Adjuster for driver 
5. Front Fog Lamp

I think there are a few things, you should always refer to the 1st page and there have a comparison of 3 specs for Saga. You can read from there.

I just got my car yesterday, haven't experienced any weird sound. Will upload the photo later. smile.gif

hey guys.. just get a call from my SA informing me that my car has arrived, have to settle the downpayment on thursday and most probably can get the car next monday..

there is one thing i need to ask, for the car registration do i have to do it myself or the SA should do it for me? Cos i remember that in the brochure stated there is a certain amount of money included for the car registration, but i would like to choose my own number what is the charges if the number is just a normal 4 digit number. THanks

Seems like my car fc is going up, now im getting 0.25 cent/km ,pening la like that. I drive mostly highway some more.

what engine oil are you using ? try to use thinner oil such as 15W-40 or 10W-40 if possible use semi sync.. you will get better fc and pick up.. read from other forum that 20W-50 which reconmended by SC is too heavy for 1.3 engine.

i dono la, i went sc they wrote there petronas syntium 800, and paid rm90+ so i guess its semi synthetic 10-40 base on that price.
*
Syntim 800 is semi sync oil but the spec is 15W-50.. still heavy but at least its semi sync so your engine should feel lighter is it ? Maybe your right foot too heavy i guess tongue.gif
