2012 Kia Rio

Yan sinasabi ko sa mga taong naniniwala pa rin sa 80kph break in, hataw hatawin nila hangga't bago pa. Wag lang talaga mag-jack rabbit start at huwag lumampas ng 4K rpm. So kung ang 4k rpm niyo eh 150kph kunwari, hatawin niyo hanggang 145kph pero pabago bago kayo ng speed. Gradual increase and decrease lang.

Sa POV ko style lang nila yun para wala na magreklamo sa kanila ngayon. Based sa observation ko, parang aircon ang may sala sa high fc.

Try to turn off for a/c for sometime. like going up hill.or turn off your A/C during early morning run or if there is no pollution on the outside air,
Sa totoo lang ang lamig ng A/C sa RIO..

Honestly, pinapatay ko aircon sa lahat ng instance pa pwede ko siya patayin for the sake na makatipid..Lalo na pag magisa ako sa car. Pero that's not the correct way para bumaba FC ko para lang makahabol sa FC ng ibang cars.

Hindi din.. kapag tirik ang araw hirap din ang aircon ng RIO.. Been thinking of getting VKool pero wala pang budget.

You know guys i've been wondering on a scenario like this

Are we running on a hotter spark plug than needed? because in S. Korea the weather is always cold all year.
So it makes sense that they use a hotter spark plug for an easy cold start right?
Maybe they forgot that it's EXTREMELY HOT (means air is less dense and more humid = less oxygen for the engine) here in the Philippines??
So maybe we should use a colder spark plug??
because a hot weather >> increases engine temp = a hot engine will affect the operating temp of our spark plug right?
Thus making the spark plug too hot and might cause the pre-ignition because of lean mixture
so it will advance the timing.
What if the ignition timing is set to advance and got stuck on advance?
So that means we will be running lean right? and get spark knocks?
So the ECU will compensate for this by running rich right?
Could that explain our super high fuel consumption?

Please someone give me an opinion on this thanks!

The problem is the kia line up today, the maybe hyundai sister but Kia bodies are not fuel efficient, check all gas-fed Kias dito sa forum, sorento, picanto, forte, all gas guzzler. The avg of brand new kia picanto is 8km/liter. For a mini-car, that's not acceptable.

Just face it Kia is not Hyundai, hindi light metals nakasalpak sa kia ngaun, kumbaga sa acer laptop, e-machines brand ang kia, while hyundai is acer.

kaya wag nyo na improve yaN FC, sasakit lng ulo nyo kakahanap ng solusyon

[2RI012]

I beg to differ, from what your saying are you implying that kia is lying?
Because if you have proof of that please kindly post it. I did some research on that, they both have the same curb weight and gross weight with only a difference of less that 10kg (insignificant). I am not trying to oppose you, simply pointing out the facts from my research.
Please correct this if i am wrong thanks!

My friends also drives a hyundai accent 2012, their fuel consumption is no different from mine so where did you get this idea that hyundai is different from kia in terms of FC and weight?

i just had my 2nd pms last 18 march. complained about my high fc. nag test drive kami ng mechanic. the usual full-tank- drive-around-then-full-tank-again routine. we travelled 13km and refueled 1.2liters. hindi ako convinced kasi not my normal route ang biyahe. but i think they did something kasi humina ang hatak compared when i got the car last year. after holy week ko na lang ireklamo. dati kasi di ako maiwan ng mga motorsiklo from a standstill up to the next stoplight.

Saan ka nagpa PMS? tsaka anong oil ginamit?

[weisshorn]

Sana dalhin ng KIA ang diesel version ng rio dito sa Pinas.. Ito Kia Rio 1.1 CRDi Ecodynamics. Search na lang po mga ka tsikots about the review. For city use I prefer this rio variant, it got the look ang the fuel economy that everybody wanted in their daily ride, including myself.

Ok, here's one review of the Rio variant :http://www.verdictoncars.com/jsp/voc...%20Ecodynamics

sorry forgot to mention . . . . dito ako davao city. Delco yung oil na ginamit. P1800 cost ng pms including car wash. pre-holy week promo kasi.

Eto na lang, ill explain the accents and rio gasoline are light bodies, with sufficient powerful engine. If powerful ang engine at magaan body mapapatapak ka talaga, so yun FC nyo that only speaks a lot about your driving. Try to drive oldr civics with 1.5 engines, matipid yun sa gas pero di kasimbilis humatak nyan rio nyo. Just accept it, you have a powerful car at 1.4L engine, tapak nyo na yan.

What the mechanic did to conserve fc sa test drive mo was only to reduce rpm below 1.5krpm. Mahirap gawin sa regular driving with traffic, pedestrians, and you thinking about work and othet stuff. Face it yan na FC nyan. my crv 2.0 1st gen does better than your rios, it's 8km/liter. yun nga lang kakahiya, kasi i have 13 yr old car which is thriftier than yours. Yan 5-6km liter, yan ang consumo ng Ford Explorer ko ngaun pure city lol

Almost 1 year na ang Rio 1.4 MT ko but can go 10-11 km/lit on city 16 km/lit on high way. No engine knocking kahit ano ang brand ng fuel ang isaksak, but I prefer shell unleaded.

nagbabakasakali lang sa mga naka Rio HB, may nakapag pagana na ba ng DRL sa inyo?

sabi kasi sa exled site, DRL ready na yun headlamp natin

Factory OEM Headlights for All New Pride (RIO,2011~) 5 Door

[uwak18]

actually DRL ready na talaga. nakadisable lang. diko alam wiring nyan pero baka nakatanggal yung fuse nyan sa fusebox either sa driver side ng steering wheel or sa engine compartment na fusebox. yan kasi talaga hirap sa kia hyundai. walang mga abang na wiring at ang daming part number para lang sa mga wiring assy.

Kamusta naman na Hatch mo?

Ngayon ko lang narealize na underpowered pala yung 1.4 Hatch after ko mahawakan ulit yung 1.5 Jazz ng kuya ko... Yun ata factor bakit din malakas sa gas.. Dapat talaga nag 1.6 Hatch ako..

[c_cube]

^^
Ok naman rio ko.. I average 8.5-9 km/l with mix driving but mostly city.

Underpowered talaga ang 1.4AT, mas mabilis pa nga yun 1.2 na manual na rio. I dont expect it to be fast din naman hahaha! All show lang talaga ang rio hahaha!

[IMG][/IMG]

Naghahanap ako ngayon functional shark fin antenna na ipinapatong lang. Wala kasi stock si wings west ngayon ng kulay itim.

Tas sabi ni garyq kaya niya paganahin yun DRL natin pero kelangan niya makita unit, kaya schedule ko sa May.
