hello guys! i just got my Bronze Garnet (auto) this evening. love the interior very much. gives me the rich & wealthy feeling hahaha! love the HID lights. hopefully the fuel consumption will not disappoint me though

guys. would like to seek your advise on the fuel consumption.

when i collected my auto waja cps on wednesday, the salesman gave me full tank (in fact the needle was slightly above the full mark).

now i did almost 340km, the needle is now at the 3/4 mark. the car is usually driven in city. seldom rev above 3,000 rpm.

is this normal? coz i read previous entries, some guys can do more than 550 - 600km on full tank in city!

campro guzzles more fuel than 4G18P.. with my 15" rims, i could make it close to 800km on a full tank of 50 litres or RM90.. futhermore, the tank of the waja is somehow "V-shaped".. when ur needle is on top (at Full), it'll slowly come down.. when it moves past half towards empty, then it's a fast drop.. sweat.gif

p/s : ur car is brand new, it is de-tuned with a rich mixture (more fuel).. this is for the "running-in" process of the engine.. when u send the car for the first service (1000km), they'll tune the car to their appropriate A/F ratio.. u'll notice significant power after 5000km.. brows.gif

wow bro, seriously? i tot many ppl said CPS is better fuel economy in all waja range? so i am assuming you own the mitsubishi engine waja manual transmission, eh? 800km... highway is it?

oh ok, so meaning in my coming 1000km servicing, i can expect a better fuel economy la?

wah bro, ini sunggoh merangsangkan oooorr tat means u can easily reach 600km on full tank. fully in city or highway?

*please tell me my CPS can do better than that*

hey spiroth, i see u are CPS owner too

so did u encounter this slightly higher fuel consumption before your 1000km & 5000km service?

anyway, yours is Auto or Manual? how's your current consumption like?

yalah u said 16-17 sen / km and that was 1.92 ringgit per liter. now 1.80 per liter, means even better mileage la!

di mana kah keadilan untok CPS???

sorry to interrupt. if i am not mistaken, to get the optimum result, campro variant need to be driven in certain higher RPM range to get the best out of it. a friend of mine who own a waja cps auto told me he could run over 700km on full tank(80% city and 20% of highway driving). stock waja with no midification.
far cry from my old stock waja auto which only cover slightly more than 550km before the warning
light turn on

after the 1st service and run in... your new car should be able to return a better fc.

[/quote]

higher RPM, eh? coz previously i was driving auto kenari, so consumption is proportional to how much i tekan.

oooh so usually how much RPM to achieve optimum FC la? i no need greedy one, gimme 600km ++ also i happy already. but mind u, i just collected last wednesday. so the total mileage now is only 370km.

apparently alot of sifus and sichehs said this is actually a common thing wor. running-in session, so do expect slow fuel economy improvement. it will become better as it approaches 5,000 km (yes, liama ribu )

please do remember to check your tire pressure. when i first collected my car last week, i felt the steering was heavy, but i tot it is normal. yesterday i refuel at shell (after finishing full tank about 380km), then i pump my blardy tires. all around 24 psi only! niamagehloumei arrr .

so i pumped about 32-33psi liao, and went on highway, so far i see better mileage lor, got improvement.

and one more thing, before your first 1,000km servicing, did u hantam ur pedal until 3 - 3.5k rpm or not? or did more than 110km/h? it is not good wei

wah ini sudah kurang betul ni... city driving jam kau kau ar?

ya the waja fuel needle is very special one. u go up slope, u see more fuel, u go down slope, u see less fuel. u swerve left, see less fuel. swerve right, see more fuel.

i love it best when i swerving right going up slope

your pioneer can cucok USB drive one ar?

brothers! i am proud to announce my fuel economy at the moment; RM 60.88 gave me 380km. That's like 16 sen / km! well 40% on highway la. but still...

can i expect an even better fuel economy after my first 1,000km servicing?

kira cun-delingam la. 16 sen / km wor, fully city driving? if yes means we rock the world la

Added on July 19, 2009, 1:24 am100km/h? cannot la bro... even at 130 km/h also like no rasa. too smooth the cruise control abit funny lor, i pushed up a few times suddenly auto rev till 4.5k wah scared the living $hit outta me, faster i go disable it

u mean waja 1.8? apparently that model has got alot of problem with engine. that's the reason Proton ceased 1.8 model for waja. am i right, brothers?

setuju 101%! waja CPS so many goodies;

i) xenon HID lamps
ii) retractable side mirrors
iii) leather seats
iv) sports rims
v) gear shift like mercedes
vi) remote control boot

but most importantly;

16-17 sen / km !!!

all for RM 61k only (maybe now even more cheaper. and try to threaten the salesman to give you the GPS)

16 sen/km is based on RM 100 = 592.9 km. but it was 50% highway 50% city la.

now starting to become fluctuate already, 16 - 17 sen per km.

Added on July 22, 2009, 11:50 pmjust dont go to mutiara d'sara service center. they will tell u "steering alignment can't do coz machine down".

"paint touch up cant do today coz no paint available"

niasing then better close shop la. summore pandai pandai add some so-called wiper washer fluid ( i think few drops only ) but auto charge me RM 5.

the next 5,000km i will start to tiao them left right center.

eh u guys heard before of these bantat mechanics shortchanging u, never change engine oil for u coz they will take ur new engine oil and sell outside?

whaT?! my cps auto already 3.1k rpm at 120kmh. if 2.7k rpm is around 95kmh la. tat means u easily hit 700km on a single full tank liao!

now i got one issue;

yesterday i went up to genting in the middle of the night. then came down after two hours. then i noticed there's a squeaking sound whenever i go thru some uneven surface.

when i reached home parked the car, i pressed my bonnet. no sound. pressed front left panel, no sound

BUT PRESSED FRONT RIGHT PANEL, GOT THE SAME SQUEAKING SOUND. AND THE PANEL SEEMS TO BE SLIGHTLY LOOSE. WAT THE HELL??

can i demand Proton Edar Service Center to get it done?

Service agent? where la?

u mean u press the remote control to open all door locks, then u didnt open the doors, after about 30 seconds, it will auto lock?

safety feature la this one
