Hi,

When starting my car (Latio/Sedan/Premium) every morning notice there is one blue engine oil light. The manual says it lights up when engine oil is cold. Usually I idle for a few minutes on 'Park'  for the blue light to go off before putting the car on 'Drive'. Is it necessary to wait?

see owner's manual - page 5-9

"Allow the engine to idle for at least 30 seconds after starting the engine to warm-up. Drive at moderate speeds for a short distance first, especially in cold weather."

Hope this answers your question.

O.K, will try to take during weekend. During working quite rush.

Volts and Water Temp gauge cost $105 each plus a adaptor for water temp cost $25. Shop will fix for you at a norminal fees of $30 each gauge. 

Where's the picture of your meter? 

We are all waiting to see it.

My Latio overheated twice! 
Finally TC changed the fan assembly.  Hopefully that's the last time....

Hi david1881

Yes, mine did.  I was also very surprised.  Maybe got problem with the cooling fan, cannot cool down the engine fast enough.

Your Latio only 4 months old already overheated?

Is yours 2007 stock?

Hi clarence & david,

Got such problem?

How come David can get 2007 stock 4 mths ago?

Mine is also 2007 stock.

That means the car arrived in S'pore last year and had been sitting idle in the warehouse for almost a year before it was delivered to us.

There was a discount for 2007 stock as Tan Chong wanted to clear old stocks to make way for the facelifted model.

Back in June, the Tan Chong SE told me to hurry to get 2007 stock at a discount of $53,000 for 4A/T. He said facelifted Latio would cost at least $10,000 more at $63,000.   

Now, facelifted Latio is selling only at $51,000, even though COE price now is only $3,000 less than COE price in June.

Hi clarence

[Ying]

  price goes up people  price goes down also 

Yeah we did pay more for latio, but for new buyer it is very good deal.
You also wish BMW price drop kau kau so that you can  upgrade right? but then the current BMW owner will

Off topic but BMW is a car that I will avoid at all costs, as it "Brings More Worries".

I know of some staff from Performance Motors Svc Ctr who have resigned due to headache from angry customers of  frequent unsolved electronic related problems unique to this marque.

to me i personally feels that its better to warm-up the engine for 1-2 mins before moving off as what i did on my previous ride even after 2 yrs when i sold the vehicle, the new owner commented that my engine & idling is very quiet almost thought that my engine was not started at all... I told him that was because i took extra effort to warm-up every time before moving off..

[clarence]

For me, after starting the engine, I wait for 30 seconds for the oil to circulate,  before I shift from 'P' to 'D'.

I drive off immediately thereafter, but with very gentle acceleration, not exceeding 2000rpm.

I turn on the air con only when the "cold engine" blue light has gone off.

There is no correct or wrong rule, just personal preference and belief.
