Last time I can get RM 10 - 100 kms, but now RM 30 only 200 kms, RM 50 only 400 kms (last time RM 50 , 500+ kms.
What is the problem? my master pump just replace the seals yesterday, need to drive for 2-3 days again to see whether got leaking or not. Just want to list down the problem. Heard from the mech, the fluid all leaking inside the dunno what 'surbo'? :unsure:
And, early morning I start the engine got like black stain coming out from the exhaust. Engine oil? :blink: , i'm guessing only.
Bad, very bad fuel consumption. :( . Last time I simply tarik 2-3 times a day still can get RM 10 - 100 kms. Now tarik 2-3 times, sigh :(
Oh one more, my engine not yet do tuning, the yellow color icon is ON while driving (meter panel). Could it be the engine?
Thanks :D
Did you service your car regularly every 5,000 km? Also check your spark plugs, they might need replacing. When you take out ur plugs, note down the colour of the plug heads. Are they whitish, yellowish or black with soot? Whitish would mean your fueling mixture too lean, while black with soot normally signifies too rich mixture. Also check your air filters to see if they are clogged and need replacing or just need cleaning. The yellow light I presume you meant by the "Check Engine" Light? If that is so, you'll need to send your car in to the specialist who can diagnose the ECU error codes to tell you what's wrong with the car. Maybe a just faulty sensor, but it would affect your engine's performance and causing the high petrol consumption.
As for your master pump, it does not affect your petrol consumption. Master pump is for the hidraulics for your brakes and clutch. A master pump failure can result in 2 types of leaks. Leaks in the engine compartment which you can see easily, or leaks inside the firewall, behind your dashboard into the car's compartment. Guess your mechanic meant the 2nd type. [/b][/quote]
Yes, i service my car engine oil every 5,000 kms and spark plugs every 10,000 kms. Except for the air filter, very dirty already. I'm still using the capalang stock filter :( . Maybe I'm buying a K&N filter tomolo (actually the last service, the mech told me is very dirty but I'm so busy till I forgot about it :( ) . Whats the price again for drop in K&N? RM 200? or was it RM 180?
The brakes are ok now, i ask the mech to kasi 'makan' more. :D
Regarding the engine check light, check everywhere .. dont know what is wrong. First, check the sensor, thought its faulty so get a new one test .. still cannot. Then Wash the throttle body because while driving halfway the engine died :ph34r: <--- no more mati engine but the check light still there. Then check air filter, clean the dust and all (but still dirty, is ok). Then finally today, tune the engine. After tuning, check light still there. Then open the air filter box, the sensor inside blew liao. Then got it replaced with a used one. Finally problem solved! :D
Now I need to get a new air filter, to see whether my fuel consumption back to normal or not. :(
