RD2 Fuel Consumption

[TCSIM]

Not sure.. Maybe lower arm.. Go there look see look see

Waaa this week another RM105..... this time 350++km nia.

My tyres are 17'' but still this is crazy. I think I better go send to mechanic...

 

[TCSIM]

Wah.. RM 105 for 350++ km is pretty bad.. I think my worst case is 480++ km for a full tank.. Try ask the mech to change your fuel filter.. If u dunno where to get fuel filter, ask Mr. Lee (012-2296855).. Say Sim intro one can alrd.. If FC still high, send to Hyundai to do scanning on your engine..

Just my two cents.. Hope it helps...

 

[TCSIM]

Ok.. I know I damn noisy la.. But before you spend more money, try pump full tank twice using Shell V-power Racing and see whether it helps to clean any carbon deposits inside your engine or not.. I know it costs more.. But you will still need petrol, right?

Another care car clinic session with dr. Sim...
hahahaha...

Sim,
you use V-Power Racing regularly?

 

[TCSIM]

Nop.. Never use it since I bought the car in April.. I only use V-power Racing for my bike.. Coz won't feel the hole in my wallet even i pump a full tank.. But then I am Shell supporter la

 

[Daniel Lee]

Sim, not fair la.
Your precious car you didn't give her drink V-Power.
kekeke...
I'm a Shell supporter too.

 

[BlackSamurai]

My mom is Bonus Link supporter, which make a Bonus Link supporter and indirectly make me SHELL supporter.

 

[TCSIM]

Hahaha.. at least 3 ppl supporting Shell here.. I tried Projet and Petronas.. Not too sure about the mileage.. but one thing for sure, my engine become more noisy.. Petronas can give me the power on highway la..

Anyone supporting other fuel?

 

[Daniel Lee]

I never try any other petrol brand before on my Coupe.
Just Shell from day one... :P

I strongly believe its not the fuel filter that is eating up the petrol. Usually it will give you slight jerk or engine cut off (worst case). You should get your engine tune up and check out your exhaust including the header for any leak. This is the major fuel burner when the exhaust is leaked.

Hahaha.. go do everything.. My full tank hits 570km today but most of the time I was on highway

Ace,
are you saying that if it's the fuel filter that is giving problem, the car will have a slight jerk when accelerating?
I'm experiencing slight jerkings when accelerating at low gears.

btw its running on 16" not the stock rims...plus the tyres were a lil hardened and there's crack lines...yet to change...does the tyres affect the fc that badly? or could it be the gearbox? cuz i noticed slight vibration on 3rd gear...other gears are fine...

I am driving GK (previous owner also HCC ZTH member). I did a injector cleaner by wynn (cost about 200), spark plugs changed, ATF, normal air filter, semi syn engine oil changed and my FC improve significantly. Now is about 0.2 cent per km KL city drive. Not much to complaint coz 2.0 auto engine cant aspect so much

Next might think of fuel filter and have my K&N cleaned. injector cleaner helps quite a lot since the car is almost 10 year old. at least engine feels lighter
