In this blog entry, I'm updating my ride, the Waja 4G18 (A). It's been 1 month and 1 week I "owned" the car. So far I spend minimal amount of money on the car. Just RM40 for REVO Oil treatment. For more info on this REVO Engine Treatment, see my review last year:
http://otoreview.blogspot.com/2010/06/product-reviewrevo-engine-treatment.html
The result?
SMOOTHER, Quieter engine, slight torque gain (Pick-up).
Spent 7/10 occasions STUCK in Horrendous KL Traffic Jam. Going there usually took 20 to 45 mins and Coming back would take 1 hour TO 2 HOURS and 10 MINS (After a heavy downpour) from WISMA GENTING to My house in Section 17, Petaling Jaya. Note that it's a mere 16km to and 14km fro ride (Using Jalan Perak/Jln Sultan Ismail/Jalan Parlimen/Semantan/Sprint Slip road).
The car's alignment and balancing is TOTALLY OUT. Steering wobbles at high speed (above 110km/h), front tyres uneven wear (outer almost bald but inside still 60%). Time to rotate tyres? Maximum speed I've driven is 140km/h so far due to the "Unstable", uncomfortable (Noisy engine + Loud wind noise) ride at that speed. Kinda Scary if I drove above 120km/h. Hope this can be changed after the Alignment/Balancing.
Without further ado, let's proceed to the Logbook.
Mileage at "delivery" (10/7/11): 128,548km
Mileage as at 12/8/11: 129,700km
Mileage this month: 1152km
FUEL CONSUMPTION:
Best: 12.8km/L (RM14 cents) - 100% Highway. (NKVE)
Worst: 7.1km/L (RM25 cents) - 100% City. Stuck in KL traffic for 50mins to and up to 2 hours fro for a 15 km journey. Shell RON95
EXPENDITURE:
1) Petrol: RM230 (RM20 cents average).
2) Toll: RM50 (1 time top up touch & go)
3) REVO Oil: RM40.
That's all...
Well, there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words. Here are the pictures:

i am having the same car same engine as you. i am facing the same problem as you. have you overcome it (steering wobble, above 130km/h will be scary to drive)?
ReplyDeletei am having same car same engine like you. I am facing the same problem. Have you overcome the problem? (over 120km/h not so nice to drive)
ReplyDelete3 of my original rims Bengkok. I changed new rims. Did alignment, on wheel and off wheel balancing and camber readjustment.
ReplyDeleteNow can go up to 180km/h comfortably.
May i know which mechanic you normally go to service? may i know the contact and name of the mechanic?
