sir ano po maadvice? hanggang kelan po dapat i stop ung break-in thanks

Sabi sa akin ng SA, sa planta nakabreak in na. Nakahang daw yung mga kotse tapos pinapaandar yung gulo pero di nakakabit yung odometer.

[likot]

^Break-in ng walang load kasi nakaangat? Grabe naman I don't think ginagawa nila yun. Critical lang naman sa break-in is hanggang maka 5000km after non ok na. Pero kung mag fully synthethic oil ka better do it on the 10000km or 15000km checkup. Mineral oil lang muna during break-in period. Warm-up mo muna ang engine kahit mga 3 to 4 minutes. Naka idiot temp light ba ang Mirage like vios?

Please correct me if i'm wrong...pag nakabitin ang sasakyan (tires not touching the ground) and walang differential lock yung differential...that would mean one tire would spin opposite the other one. ex. front wheel drive, front right tire may spin forward while the left front tire will spin backward. I agree, i don't think gagawin nila yun...hehe...doesn't make sense to me...although i'm not a car expert din naman...haha...

Eh??? easier for them to unplug the odometer.

Someone might be pulling your eggs...

Break in no longer applies to today's cars. Here's what I do:

1. Drive as you would normally do.
2. Do not over rev the engine, ie. 5,000 rpm and higher
3. Follow the PMS schedule and scope.

Not really an expert but you'd be pretty safe with this.

What the SA may have been saying about the break in in the plant, where the wheels are running, would be at the wheel alignment test. But the odometer is already attached in this case. The car also undergoes several tests where it needs to run, like suspension checks etc. At regular intervals, a car is selected for a road test where it goes a longer distance than the regular test. That's why sometimes a new car has a higher km reading out of the casa, say ~50 kms from the normal ~10+kms.

1. i noticed that everytime i start my engine from a long rest, the temperature light will turn on and from the start of the engine, siguro naka on yung temperature light for a minute or two then mag off na yung light temp.

It's saying that the engine is not yet at its optimal working temperature. When the light switches off it means the engine has reached its optimal working temperature level (ok na yung circulation ng engine oil). Pero kung red yung ilaw sa temperature light ibig sabihin nun overheat.

i see. i think the color of the light temp is yellow. thanks for the info. i got used to the analog temperature monitor from previous cars...

comment lang po ako regarding sa ibat-ibang reading ng fuel consumption.

baka kasi ang iba nagtataka bakit si ganun 18km/l nakukuha while ako 14km/l lang eh pareho lang naman kaming light footed driving

sa mga small displacement engines kasi, total weight of the vehicle is a big factor when it comes to FC

mas mabigat ang karga, mas nangangailangan ng makina ng power

so kung si mirage owner A ay tumitimbang sa 85kilos habang ang kapitbahay niya at kaupisina na si mirage owner B naman ay 65kilos lang ang timbang, tyak 101% mas makakakuha ng mas magandang FC si mirage owner B

kaya kung gusto nyo talaga na tumaas ang FC ng mirage nyo, A.) mag diet kayo hehe B.) lahat ng di kailangan sa loob ng tsikot na nagpapabigat lang ay iwan nyo na sa bahay

tsaka isa pa pala hehe, si mirage GLX m/t ay may curb weight of 820kilos, habang si mirage GLS cvt naman ang tumtimbang ng 850kilos, so right out of the bat, mas lamang na si glx/mt kasi mas magaan siya.

Medyo napapansin ko dumadami na yun depensa ng mga owners bakit di umaabot yun FC as per Mitshi advertisement expectation. Ano ba talaga ang lagay ,mga mirage owners ???????? Parang nag dududda na ako kasi sa mga nakikita kong FC test. 21 km per liter ba talaga o gimmick lang??

Please post all your latest FC now no if and buts , actual on Philippine roads . We get the average then as a whole.

Maybe , we can post 2 set of FC : City Driving and Hiway Driving

^brad there are certain methods applied when the 21km/li was achieved for the fuel-economy test of the mirage

when the f-15 eagle jet fighter registered its flight records it was flown with NO PAINT, just to keep it as light as possible

GLX models are lighter than GLS because its been stripped of other features thats why its very important to mention the model, the tranny, passenger load, aircon settings, maximum speed, traffic condition in order to be fair

another piece of advice i could give based on experience is that if its fuel economy you want to achieve then drive below 60kph in the city & below 80 kph in the highway

Hello Mirage forumers, bago lang ako join dito. Taga gensan ako and received our mirage glx m/t last Nov. 27. The dealer is Peak Motors Manila Bay. I am very satisfied with their service specially the lady sales executive. Nagpa reserved ako Oct. 31 when our familyI were in Manila at the last working hour of 6pm and paid Php 10k reservation fee. Would like to share my FC experience. Before the trip nag full tank ako, and got a total trip reading of 179km, then nag refuel ako at umabot ng 8.6liters. At an average, I got 20.81 km/l on I can say 95% highway and 5% city drive. My highway driving speed (low of 80 and high of 120) kapag maluwang ang road. Thanks.

kumusta na po FC? mukang sa una di masyado nagustuhan...calculate FC na in detail isa po ako sa nag aabang hehehehe...unfair naman kasi if ikumpara ang FC sa eon...

Yung kotse mo Sir, anong brand at model? Ano naman ang claimed FC nya kumpara sa nakukuha mo?

IMHO, lahat ng brand, they claim their FC based on ideal laboratory conditions. Ang city sa Japan hindi gaya ng city natin. Ang city mo hindi gaya ng city ko. Ang driving mo hindi gaya ng driving ko.

If you conclude that 21 promised vs my 17 actual is a gimmick, then lahat ng brand gimmick na rin.

Fish tayo!

sino po nagsabing marami? kung marami po ang unit na dumating, lahat po sana ng nakapag-reserve, nakuha na nila unit nila.

may dumarating po, pero naka-depende po kasi tayo sa kulay na gusto natin, kaya kung maaari, pumili ng hanggang 3 kulay, para makakuha agad. yan po ginagawa ko ngayon. lahat ng client ko sa mirage, may 3 choices of colors para magkaroon man ng available, release agad. pero kung gusto talaga makipagmatigasan, ok lang naman. hintay hintay na lang po.

totoo nga yon sir kami mismo ni misis nakakita sa 3rd flr ng citimotors makati, but mostly GLX ung unit at dalawa lang na GLS (cvt&mt). GLS kasi ung pa reserve namin ang kaso lahat daw yon meron ng naka assign. so antay na lang kami ng 1st week ng dec. sana nga dumating!

[mitsumirage1979]

mga sir kamusta po ang meron na mga GLS-CVT? ano po mga napapansin nyo at maaadvice sa driving etc. thanks po
