Second that. Don't do that if you want your car to last long! It damages the car!

Calculating FC is very easy. Just fill up full until pump stop, drive for x km, fill up full again. Your FC is xkm/ litre pumped on 2nd fill up.

Why drive until car no petrol???

dunno.. just feeling it.

sometimes i also feel like wanna try to run dry my car. just wanna know how many km can go until tank empty. so, incase of emergency like no petrol station nearby, we can agak-agak how far we still can jalan.

want to know how much u can run? just do this:

max petrol tank = 40liter
max pumpable volume = 30 liter (check ur receipt)
so ur reserve = 10 liter
half it so 5 liter runs 50 km. keep the other 5 liter for absolute empty.

Hi there Savvy owners,

I'm gonna get an AMT savvy, i heard it has lots of issue but I hate to drive manual during traffic jam so...i hope the new Savvy is improved.

I'm just wondering, if driving an AMT savvy, is it gonna be more fuel efficient to drive it manually or same even if we use auto?

I've been browsing here and there on this but haven't found anyone talk abt it..or maybe here already mention but this thread damn long..

Anyone pls advise yea i'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

i tot sm1 said true figure is around 36+ only? cos he did drive till no more petrol left. then fill in full. can go around 36l+ petrol only. huhu.

based on certain condition, in auto mode, it tend to hold lower gear at high rpm. so u make a guess which one is more fuel saving. hehe.

guys,

smhow i got a feeling ron 95 make my fc worse la. before i got around 17km/l. now around 14km/l.

im not sure this is due to my foot or not. but i think, no diff woo. no heavy footing. normal driving.

of course manual mode.. human is always smarter than computers

how about the power? got difference?

^

sure got diff. the thing is wat brand u use? hehe. for me shell worst la. caltex ok. bhp my fren tested. he said ok. petronas not yet la. ok mean got power.

u know. hv to test 2 3 times baru can see the result. u guys still using 97 ke? wuyoo. very rich. got money to buy 97. huhu.

but in term of fc, i think worst ler. or i think i hv to control my foot oso.

40liter is my estimate la. calculation method the same.
probably the tank size is 40l but got some air space or reserve reserve to keep the fuel pump moist to protect itself.

I pumped Shell 95 today... immediately went for a full throttle test drive... and it was ok... not bad... although 2nd gear going uphill was quite slow... engine sound ok oni... can drive like normal... maybe have to test few more tanks

Thanks for the response.
Actually I'm also still thinking whether I should get the AMT or not.
I scared it'll bring me so much trouble.

I don't mind manual..just hate to drive manual when facing traffic jam. Living in PJ for sure will face jam one...

But i've booked the AMT anyway...what do u guys think?

my amt still doing ok even reach 80,000km ady

just do the periodic maintenance without fail then your car is far from failure

Added on September 10, 2009, 10:03 pmand my driving style is pretty harsh. normally change gear when rpm reach 4k. sometimes if wanna play play, change gear at 5.5k rpm

@Mutt
Thanks for the tips. I'd appreciate any newbie tips that i should know. Yours and the others' stories with the AMT make me feel safe abit la to own the car..

So Mutt you usually drive manual using the AMT?

actually, u hv to understand first how amt works. then u need to know how to take care of it so u can preserve it lifetime much longer.

during traffic jam, i will use auto mode. when leisure or spirited driving i will use manual mode. hehe.

bro mutt! changing hear at high rpm wont damage ur amt la. haha. but will damage ur gearbox wooo! dont forget to change ur gearbox oil when due.

edit

when i first got my car, im not really sure about amt and how it works. got 2 3 times my amt pump overheated; thus cannot change gear, auto change to manual.

send to sc to rectified the probs. they did smthg but mostly they only fix the software. after that, i go to savoc.net and from there a lot of members shared with us how to take care our amt and also explain how it works.

till now, my car edy clocking 30k km + and i didn't experience any probs with my amt anymore.

p/s: still i believe u need good luck when buying amt!

@death_nite
Thanks for the tips n stuff. Yeah i've registerred savoc.net and read afew stuffs there. but yet to understand the whole AMT thing..still. and that's why i just proceed to book the car anyway..i believe there's solution for the problem d LOL

Yeah luck very important. But from my experience my hands will always turns electronic stuff into a disaster. I studied electrical n electronics during uni days and during labworks anything i touch will not work (even prev. it's workg fine)
at home..even if i use high end PC..it will still have problem here n there after sometime use..maybe i like to strain the damn thing or what u dunno lah..damn.

Now it started to sound like my body got lotsa bad static.

anyone had problem with the fan motor before? mine won't run a couple of times, causing the temperature to rise to 4 and 5 bars. But after a slight knock, the fan run again !
Do i hav to change the motor then? my car 34k mileage and 3yrs old.

my fan wont auto turn on already too.
tmr will check/

Wow... good luck to you then.. amt is quite sensitive... hope your bad static won't destroy our beloved savvy.. haha

OT a moment.

hey, happy birthday!

me. got probs around 15k - 20k km. urs seems need to change the fan motor. i change mine foc. cos under warranty.
cant remmbr the price. u can go to savoc.net. cos got people who hv similar probs like u.

wont auto turn on?
