Hi, How do you know/judge that your fuel gauge is no accurate?? tot of changing too... looks like my guage always drops very fast.

You will confirm know it.

When you pump full, it remains full for a damn bloody long time... then after that the gauge will suddenly plunge down from full to 3/4 within ~10-15km of drive.

wonder those regular who use JB ramp when pumping petrol will have the fuel guage problem too?

i heard of some mods u can press a custom-made button (must be hidden somewhere in ur car) to make your gauge jump to 3/4 tank even though its near empty.

That's what I mentioned previously, but was bombarded by a forumer.

For Singapore's hot and humid weather, and frequent stop start driving and short trips, a '40' rating engine oil provides better overall protection. '30' is too thin.

yup is foc provided.....

u do a service with them.
all along my car serviced by autosaver since 20k. this year around 42k, i complain abt steering coupling, then TCM told me if i dun go back for service they will void warranty but they still change the steering coupling for me at that time

so at 50k, i went back for service and "complain" abt many things lor. will go to them again before my warranty ends in DEC.
