Check your manual for the tyre pressure, I used to run 32/34 then went to 32/38 but I think I am going to reduce to 32/36 (32/38 is recommended in the manual for up to 4 adults, but I mostly drive alone or most with my wife and young son). Give me your model details if you don't have the manual , see if I have them .

The cleaner can last many many times. Mine is not for sale, but you can use, plenty left.

bro ace hardware in midvalley got.

this is no magic stuff.it's just an electrical contact cleaner.CRC is a brand name.
any diy hardware shop shud have this

 

[kayzhen911]

thanx ian....
that guy was supposed to be the boss....
IMHO hes very dishonest lah.
and by the wat Moots....
this is no magical spray but i think its less corrosive than others which makes it good for MAF cleaning.

 

[Vroom325]

Sure if it is not too much trouble for you and Kayzhen, I have only used it once. You can clean yours too, it's about time. Just be careful when you spray, keep the spray some 10 inches away , give it some 10 spurts. Let dry for 20 minutes before reinstall.

I have had the B4 on for about 500km now (should be run in by now ?), feel much better when cornering and at high speed. But the gap at the fender is so much wider now.

Vroom, couple of questions. what rim size are you running and what sort on tyre pressure ? I have 32/38 , according to the manual for my 225/45/R17.

Hi Ian, yup, 500km is ok already. No choice loh, u absorber is new, surely higher a bit then last time loh.

I have the same size with you, but my tyre pressure is 32, 33. According to the sticker, yes it shud be 38 at the back but I am a little bit worry if it's too high? May be 34-36 is bette? May be getting some of the sifu's idea is better.

62k km is time to clean? When was the mileage u did ur cleaning, how was it? Very dirty? Do you think I can also get them to clean when I service my car?

Kayzhen, where's the workshop you go in Ipoh? It would be helpful to know as a sort of risk management. I go back to BG about once a month.

vroom dude....
my mechanic is at IGB Industrial Estate.
u know...
jalan tasek
New Age Auto.
no issue abt their skills.
better summore....
their prices r so much cheaper than in KL.

 

[IanDaddy]

Vroom, got mine cleaned at 62K too when I bought the car, a bit dirty lah not very. I brought the cleaner to my mech, quite easily done, you can DIY too.

32/38 for me is a little too bumpy, I will try 32/36. I ride alone most of the time or max 2 adult plus a kid.

there is a lot you need to do to get up to speed with the VW. But catching it on the straight with steptronic is possible with a 3.0 engine & a 2.5 gear box on 18". I have done it on the NKVE the turbo in the VW will kick in first and pull away. On 3rd gear in Steptronic mode i caught up with VW when I reached speeds of 180km/h. At 200km/h I am already tailgating him. This is where i have the lack of torque to push it up faster to above 240km/h. cause my gear ratio, Exhaust and my final drive is still on 2.5 GB. After this experience I need chnage all these and try to cucuk the VW again.........hehehehe.

 

[kayzhen911]

forget abt cucuking the VW lah bro....
better be safe.
