it looks more certain COE is driving upwards... and they are pumping more $ into the subsequent bids...

[scizorsim]

 The PPs looks fantastic on your red car....Congratulations.

 

Thanks!! I think my photog skills played a part 

Is it good?

 

So far so good, but not sure yet. Love the hydrophobic effects though!

anyone got told that car delivery is delayed coz their supplier dont have stock for the eurostyle headunit and either take first do tt later or wait till month end to collect with everything done ?

[teomingern]

I think they're trying to cope with the surge in COE premium... trying time for everyone.

hi all,

 

my K3 now in 20 months now...

 

I notice that my k3 fuel consumption deteriorating now ... especially since the last 30K services at Kia.

 

on the meter, use to be 8.6l/100km.... now around10.3l/100km...

 

is there something wrong? Anyway, some route changes (additional) from my usual one... more HDB areas.. could that be one of the reasons?

 

By the way, tires, battery, wiper all need to change soon since it is coming to 2 years...

i have the same problem too.

 

Used to be able to go ard 580km per tank, now around 480-490.

 

same route, same pattern lol.

Yup! Mine. My SE told me head unit not in stocks. Can collect first then fix the head unit when I do my first servicing, but I asked when will the stocks arrive, he said end of the month. So likely I will collect the car first then when the HU is in at the end of the month, I will send back to fix.

 

About the stocks, my SE told me that the colour I want is the last unit left. Not sure if they still have plenty more stocks of the other colours.

Just impressed by the effects of PPS after one month, still good and glossy and good hydrophobic

Which company and what application was this again?

480 per tank is... not the full 50l but about 45 right? (assuming you top up once fuel remaining is about 5l)

More hdb surely will make a difference. also the way you drive as you get more and more used to the characteristics of the car also makes a difference.

 

after 1 year +, my driving style and confidence with this car is getting faster and faster, and yes the FC goes down to about 10/100km too. However when i take note to drive for better FC, i can go back the 7-8km / 100km i used to get.

[teomingern]

Yeah agree... you tend to push the car harder as you get more familiar... not so heartache to push the car. And your fuel consumption will just slide... ha ha... my experience... before my 1K servicing, I could get 11+ km/L for my Sonata... after that it was never better than 10.8 km/L, in fact usually 10.4. So I moderated my driving style and it's back to 11-12 km/L.
