LONGTERMERS #1, Update 2: Ford Telstar GC6W 2.0i4 DOHC 16v


This month, (July 29 to August 28), the Telstar leaked oil (on the floor tiles),

a trip to the mechanic revealed that the oil seal leaked. Hence, RM65 spent to rectified the problem (inc. labour). Also, the front left rim "Bengkok" (dented), after "rolling" over a piece of Construction Debris. "PPPRAANNGGG", thank goodness the "object" shattered and NOT Punctured my tyre. BUT My RIM "bengkok" as a result.

Tried using "RON 92" Unleaded instead of "RON 97", the car's performance was hampered. It turned from "Mildly fast" to "SLUGGISH". Also, the Engine Jerks. This is weird as the USER MANUAL clearly stated that minimum Fuel requirement's "RON91".

Without further ado, here’s my car logbook.

Year of manufactured: 1998 (registered January 1999)
Purchase price: RM42,000 (Aug 2005)
Current value: RM19,000 (As at June 2008)
Depreciation per year (averaged): RM7,667. It's BAD, as typical Toyota or Honda depreciated 10% per year only.

Mileage when bought: 97,000km.
Mileage now: 135,800km.
Average mileage per year: 12566km. Ie. 1,000km +/- monthly.
Fuel consumption: (Before price increase: RM100 full tank (RM1.92/L) => 360km mixed driving = RM0.28/km or 6.2km/litre. (Best: 440km and Worst: 290km).. After price increase: DON’T ask.
