Wattokkingu 3rd Gear February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 My ride will be reaching 5K servicing next week. As my WS do not carry W30 EO, I have to purchase outside seperately. They will be charging $60 for labor cost, which I think it is expensive but no choice as I do not wish to void the warranty. Shorlisted 2 EO as below; liqui moly and x-rev. For x-rev, they give free zero friction additive to be added, which i do not think it is necessary for a new car. Any bro recommendation which i should choose? Would go for Mobil 1 instead though not in your short list haha. Anyway, the price indicated on the bottle seems a bit high, can easily get 5L for that price. Try using a google search for Liqui Moly 5w-30 and you should be able to find cheaper alternatives. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkloh 2nd Gear February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Any bros here who bought accessories from Taobao to decorate their Vezel can recommend car workshops to install them? Although my ride isn't here yet, already poisoning myself with some stuff I plan to put in the car.

Fuelsaver Supercharged February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 If liquimoly,go add ceratec!! Powerful and useful stuff.Thot ceratec only for higher mileage engine? New engine literally no wear ceramic coating only coats worn n rough surface. My ride will be reaching 5K servicing next week. As my WS do not carry W30 EO, I have to purchase outside seperately. They will be charging $60 for labor cost, which I think it is expensive but no choice as I do not wish to void the warranty. Shorlisted 2 EO as below; liqui moly and x-rev. For x-rev, they give free zero friction additive to be added, which i do not think it is necessary for a new car. Any bro recommendation which i should choose? LM for me. I've tried xrev b4.

I got Mobil-1 0W-30 @ Giant (IMM) @ close to $15/bottle of 946ml. Labour wise, I saw my cost breakdown indicating $60 too, but its from a very clean & well organised WS and a very discipline team. So I felt its worth it, for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can use your kit to create cheaper kits for the others. lol... Where were you last year in Oct, when I want to purchase Vezel ? I have forked out too much money now and cant afford for any accessories. Do keep me posted if you can create the cheaper kits. will need to start saving for this.

Lalat Clutched February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 obviously you do'nt understand the potential effect of a "sudden stop"... i dare not imagine how my car will react if im traveling at 150kmh and someone press the stop engine button...i will not want such "feature"... As mentioned in my previous post before, your engine should not cut off even you (accidentally) pressed the "Engine Start/Stop" button when you on the "D" mode, and this is proven on my XC60. Suggested all Vezel's owner talk to you mechanic and get this rectify; as this may caused serious/fatal accident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lalat Clutched February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Maybe 0.1%. But it only need to happen once for someone to loss his/her life. I do think this is a major flaw... Guys, don't play play. Suggested you talk to your mechanic and get this rectify ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ongkmeng 2nd Gear February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 (edited) Do VEZEL come with pre-install in-car air filter ? I use HEPA filter for my old civic, very effective to keep the air clean. http://www.healthyairmart.com/Cabin-Hybrid-HEPA-Filter-0414.html Wonder anyone is keen to start a mass order ?

indulge 3rd Gear February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 This sets a new precedence that car body of X model can be bought at 53k. S model at 56k. Still minimum 10k gross profit margin. And from my previous post, all adequate accessories number 1 to 4 included,especially if max 50% or 60%, 5yr tenure loan is taken. Hybrid is ard 55-58k. Not many buyers know how to play the COE rebate game,that's why mis-informed and shortchanged. Potential buyers do be informed b4 confirming yah?! COE seems to be continuing to head south, protect ourselves with high rebate levels or just commit to body price and pay for COE whatever it turns out to be. COE belongs to us owners to depreciate over the years,CEVs are meant for govt to pass savings to owners, ARF belongs to us to get back rebates in future,not to line others' pockets. Mean no offence to anybody, buyer or seller. Just sharing from what i learnt from my experience and simple calculations. If calculate my car price minus the COE price... X Model only $50k and they are still making $$$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate if you could share your contacts Hi bro. You might wish to check out SgGarage Edwin. You can find Edwin in FB. I have use him to install my floor light. Friendly guy and reasonable cost. On the day running lights, if it doesn't come (imported) with the car, then all external installed lights are not approved. Any lights installed inside the car are okay. Having said that, I also wanted to install the Honda logo with LED at rear but was told not approved. Installed at your own risk. Normally LTA do not inspect/spot check on the road, only during car inspection. I am thinking of adding 1 extra on/off switch to off the lights during vicom inspection. In my previous ride, I installed extra night LED with on/off switch. During vicom inspection, I off the LED and put black tape to cover over the LED lights .... dun quote me if anyone get caught (touch wood) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rationalexuberance 4th Gear February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 (edited) If calculate my car price minus the COE price... X Model only $50k and they are still making $$$Sui lah..50K!! I think to be fair to dealers who have running showrooms n overheads,still need a rubber band range of 2-3k to acct for ARF paid. OMV may be declared at will to sme extent? Which will dictate ARF payable. So now we have 50k for X model, 53k for S model and 55k for hybrid. Any more bros/sis want to share?
