Opel17 6th Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 hmm..7 days..... i had a 3D2N there.. damn bored liao... The 7D/6N is free from Genting. So take lor and enjoy the nice weather. Bring along laptop to read emails, send quotations, etc... And importantly , stay online at MCF In the past, taking coach, 3D2N is the norm. Somehow, not enough, increased to 4D3N. 2yrs ago, started driving up, there was NATAS/Genting promo [1N book, 1N free], then become 5D4N [2N book, 2N free]. Again, we are there more for the nice weather, relax, a little bit of slot gaming. * received Genting sms on 19/1/2011, 2 rooms 2 nites free 1st World Hotel 19/1/2011-1/2/2011. * decided to give up this offer since we are going in Feb'2011. * incase, next time got such offer, we will take 1 room, anyone interested in the 2nd room FOC [no strings attach] ?

Parkingidiot 1st Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 Dunno if this question ask before - but when driving up and down Genting in auto car... - Should put to what gear? D, L, or 2? - Will it damage the gears if use the wrong one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzomatrix 2nd Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 U can just keep it at D. Step harder to go up. For L and 2 can use it when coming down for engine brake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For L and 2 can use it when coming down for engine brake. thanks for the tip - so L and 2 gives good engine brake? I tried using when going down enterprise centre at Bukit Batok - but seems to pick up speed unless brake every now and then. I may be doing it wrong!

Enzomatrix 2nd Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 Putting at L and 2 will still make ur car go down faster at the slope. Nothing can win gravity. It only slow down the process compared to using D. To test out, try going down with D then change to 2/L and u will feel it at work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 (edited) Putting at L and 2 will still make ur car go down faster at the slope. Nothing can win gravity. It only slow down the process compared to using D. To test out, try going down with D then change to 2/L and u will feel it at work. It does not really work most of the time. In fact could be worse. Normally, I slow down till crawling speed and slot to L and let the car rolls down. Still picks up speed but quite controllable. This is the downside of auto tranny!!!! No such problem in manual tranny on 1st / 2nd gear down the slope. Just lift off gas and car will roll down at constant speed. In fact, can tap lightly on the gas even.

Not really a problem in Singapore - but I guess going hilly country may be an issue. Ok - so if keep on D whilst coming downhill - any mechanical issue for car? Will it damage anything?

Not when it's just a short drive down the carpark slope. Prolonged period on D with brake tapped all the way will cause brake failure!!! So, still need 2 or L to tong a bit + occasional brake to control the picking up of speed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokyman 1st Gear February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 Should have L or S below D right? Bro, bo leh ... only P, R, N and D. But i think have the manual 7 spd thing where i can shift up and down .. (u need to manually down or up the gear, say, if on gear 7, u wanna go gear 4, u need to shift down 3 times ... ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only slow down the process compared to using D. To test out, try going down with D then change to 2/L and u will feel it at work. ah.... did a bit more research - found why my car still went fast downhill, even in L or 2: because it was still in overdrive. I need to switch off overdrive, and then put to L or 2 to get the engine braking. Otherwise, whilst still in overdrive, putting it into L or 2 makes no difference. Car will still be coasting.

Kangadrool Supersonic February 7, 2011 Share February 7, 2011 Got "+" and "-" in another slot right? So, ya manually pull down to "-", not euff, pull again... Dun one shot pull "-" 7 times hor; CVT sure chui... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
