just to share with u all here,i just installed a voltage Stabilizer n Power Device Airflow last few day then i drive a 6 hours of long distance traveling.now my fc is 6.0 liter/100km(city).last time was 7.3 liter.n long distance fc is 5.8 liter/100km now compare last time 6.9 liter /100km.

my car mileage is 2300km only

good info bro. mind to share where did u done it and how much? and what brand..

any comments on the use of the GPS navigator ? i found it really useful when u r really lost in the city.

actually i installed it myself as it's easy to install.i'm form sabah so i bought it in k.k.

(1)Voltage Stabilizer(Zmax) rm45
(2)Power Device Airflow(Prowin) rm50

my car is manual iafm

just did my 10k km service at PESC.

items replaced
1. oil filter
2. oil gasket
3. 1bottle radiator coolant
4. screenwash
5. x1r engine treament
6. Petronas full synthetic syntium 1000 15w-50
total rm274.94

Complaint the front brake scraping noise to PESC, they said it is Brake pad problem..cost rm6x to replace.

So i went to outside spare parts shop to buy a pair of Ferodo pad(i want the BenDix metal king) but no stock for bendix. cost me rm120 for Ferodo.
After that, visit Michelin tyreshop to replace frontbrakepad. The brake scraping noise getting Louder, problem still persist. Oh My god..now i realize it wasn't the brakepad issue. Upon several rounds of inspection by experienced tyreman, it is the brakecaliper CLIP that scrap against the disc brake.
cost me rm60 for to do alignment + balancing + labour charge..

rm500 gone yesterday. Waste my time and money to buy new brake pad, it is not the brakepad issue(PESC mechanic really inexperience leh)


Oh yeah..next upcoming 20k km service, rm7xx if using full synthetic oil.



Some add on, Persona using 195/60/15 tyre, i saw the Michelin MXV8 195/60/15 ow retails at rm340?? Dunno what's the new price for tyre next month, even the Entry Level 195/60/15 XM1 cost rm260 per piece after discount..
16" AND 17" price tyre increase at least 15% , can't afford upgrade to better 17" tyre for my Persona liao..no $$

I have done my balancing and alignment and now my car is soooo smooth......

But the front door tik tok sound i think will send to SC when reach 1000km sercive.

I found out a problem with the power window, sometime when it turn down or turn up,
it will have a sound " gluk gluk gluk" very obvious.... but it sometime there is no sound. anyone know what is the problem with this power window?

go claim go claim~
i faced that problem b4 too, power window failure
send to SC, they can fix it...

Just want to know how can this voltage stabilizer and airflow can save up so much fuel ? can you decript more detail on that ??? does it void warranty or not ??

Then its should be true... because even SA said Base line less prob compare to other lines. donno really true or not...
