In the latest issue of Car and Driver (May 2006), they did a long term test on the Suzuki version of the Optra wagon. Their biggest complaint was disappointing fuel economy (25mpg in their tests). Maybe they needed that reprogram, too.

Yes, sa quezon ave. nga nila dinadala ung unit dahil dun ung magandang pc units nila. Si Jet ba ung kalbo? Sorry, un ung nag-entertain saken! Nakakalito kasi eh... Jet ba o Jeff? Hehe... di bale parehas lang naman nilang alam un.
Kaya ko napansin lahat ng ginawa kasi from casa paalis at pagbalik pinansin ko talaga lahat.
Anyways, eto result ko sa Paranaque to Pampanga and pabalik.
Total kms. travelled: 252.6 km.
Liters of gas consumed: 15.26 liters
Consumption per liter: 16.55km/liter
Note: Natraffic pa ako sa EDSA nung papuntang Pampanga. Saturday un. Sabay pagdating sa destination, naglibot-libot pa ako. Similar to city driving ung pinuntahan ko dun. This would be my initial test on this type of gas consumption computation. Next weekend ang susunod. Nauwi kasi kaming Pampanga every weekend.
Goodnight to everyone! =D

May 1st, 2006 09:12 AM #44Why North Edsa lang?What's wrong with the other casa? Shouldn't it be standard yung singapore program sa lahat ng casa? Ang bait naman ng north edsa, pumayag icharge under warranty ang mga repair even though the unit didn't come from them. Kung sila lang ang papayag at marunong mag ayos sa gas guzzling problem ng optra, they will be swamped with reprogram request for free.
Nagtatanong lang kasi yung optra na nakita kong may sticker nakalagay sa rear windshield na yung optra niya only goes 5km/liter (BAD ADVERTISEMENT in effect), I saw it in Cebu, so obviously, di yun makapunta sa north edsa.

You may try at other casa sir. But for those in Luzon, the best one to go for the reprogram is at North Edsa. You won't get too much questions compared to the other and SA are very accomodating.
The reason why I (not WE, coz I'm the only one who's voluntarily gonna say this), is already posted on my previous posts. In Chevy Alabang, they still have not received word from GM main allowing a reprogram. In GM Makati, it's via reservation (which you must make 2-3 days before you ask for one, otherwise you'll have to wait some days before your unit can be checked. Also, compared to North Edsa, they'll have to evaluate first IF your car is really a gas guzzler. Now this is where the problem comes, what if you got a very lousy SA to check your vehicle and evaluate that your car is not a guzzler but it really is?
Besides, a lot of people tend NOT to go to the casa because some have really lousy services. That's why I, having been told by Mr. Castillo, referred everyone to go to North Edsa because their service is good and accomodating. For those in Luzon, wouldn't it be a trip worth while?

May 1st, 2006 08:54 PM #47Kung 96 or 97 Familia, ECU swap lang ang sagot. The Mazdaspeed Familia and the JDM Lantis have better ECU programming. Problem is, exactly the same daw (hindi ito firsthand knowledge, ha) yung parts numbers, kaya mahirap hanapin.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

May 2nd, 2006 01:31 PM #49batang raon, so far our optra is now doing 9 to 10 kms/ltr, a far cry from its old gas guzzling days! si jet nga yung kalbo, hehe, nalito din ako ung nasa gm north ako, hehe, pero good service naman. plus the fact that they reprogrammed it without any hassles is a big plus for gm north edsa. so far so good sa gas consumption! salamat ulit batang raon!

May 2nd, 2006 05:49 PM #52Nice find batang_raon14. Would you know if the reprogram is already permanent, or does it get reset to orig program when the battery is removed/replaced, and will need to be reprogammed again? Originally Posted by batang_raon14

Sir, I believe it is permanent. I haven't had issues of my ECU needing reprogram after I disconnected my batteries for 5 times already due to replacement of one of my headlight bulbs and when I dropped something below the battery. Hehe..The last time was after I reprogrammed.
Although, asking the SA's via phone won't hurt. =D

May 7th, 2006 06:47 PM #55Yes, go to Chevy North Edsa, look for Jet (or Jeff should Jet be out), tell them you want to reprogram your ECU to Singapore program, wait for them to complete the work, and when it's done, it's done. =D Originally Posted by Mamar
