Hi everyone, tested one FTO today (2.0 MIVEC Tiptronic GPX Version)....
I have some few questions, please help me on this ya... all sifuh, owners and expert...
When i stop at traffic light, at manual... whenever i gear up or down (by pushing up or down on the tiptronic manual mode), after 1 sec of changing, the car shake... and if i change the gear, then i shake again (without moving, stopping at traffic light with brake on).
So is this normal?
Well, the car runs perfectly and able to rev up to 7rpm easily (i think can up to 8++ but too many cars), and i can hear the sound of mivec... man... damn nice.
Another things.. when i try to rev along the ldp motorola brigde for few minutes (2 ways, from sunway to damansara, and damansara to sunway... and of course not always rev)...Then i notice that, once i reach back to sunway, the temperature is seriously high... a little bit more to touch the Hot!.. then i stopped to rev, the temperature down again in few mins and stuck in 70% of the temperature meter.
Is there any problem with this car?
Your little information, really valuable and helps me.. Thanks.
u r not point to buy that car .... cooling point and transmission point .... the engine is very powerful but the transmission transmit delay .... with engine high torque n the delation of the gearbox ... it will very ez to make the automatic clutch slip ...... n the maintainee with very high for the gearbox .. every 20,000km need to change the oil ... with filter .. the oil cost u very expensive ..... n the engine temperature problem maybe occurs from some part .... head gasket, radiator, water pump ... or radiator fan ... someday the throttle body will giving u some problem ... [/b][/quote] Henryfong First of all, thanks for ur valuable information and advice. it's very kind of you to share your knowledge. thumbs up I have few more questions. I am not very good in technical stuffs.... 1) .is transmit delay a serious problem? can it be repair? happen frequently to car? and how much it costs to fix it? 2) What is automatic cluth slip? 3) I have to change gearbox oil every 20K because of this problem or is this is a standard changing period? 4) Erm.. what is throttle body??? 5) As for the temperature, i think that car got serious problem too. So can anyone here tell me how should a MIVEC engine behave like? and how's the temperature going to be? How long u usually rev? How high the temperature can go? Thanks |
