You may want to try to throttle gradually from Stop position and see how does that go for you .

Thank you bro for the reply. I been throttle gradually, starting still ok but slowly it start to get louder. Hmmmm

Hey hey Don't mentioned it!

 

i try top up battery water once every 3 weeks or so to play safe.

Am already at 15000km already haha

 

Actually the car was launched in early 2014 and it kind of make sense that the new facelift comes about around a year or so later mah

 

Just to clarify.

I just did the 10K service and I asked the service supervisor about topping battery water and he told me no need as it is a maintenance free battery.

 

So for maintenance free battery, we can still add battery water overtime our self?

Hi all bros and sis,

 

i am new to the forum. I just gotten my Vezel this evening. I am a light footer guy, the engine seems to be roaring when move from stationary position. Is this normal?

 

Thank you for any feedback.

 

 

Hi bro,

 

Think its normal. I also a little surprised when I first time drove it. Even louder than my Subaru boxer.... hahaha

 

 

 

 

May I ask is the brother driving SKR 44X parked somewhere along YCK every morning in this forum?

Hi just sharing what I know, correct me if I am wrong.

 

For maintenance free battery, once the acid is poured into the battery the opening are sealed so topping up will not feasible.

 

As for the old school battery, they have caps where you can screw off to facilitate topping up to each column, (Just need to top up with distilled water)

 

Hope this helps.

Agreed as that is what I know also. Just want to verify that the battery given is maintenance free or the old type as some bro did some top up to it. Hopefully the service guy did not pull a fast one on me. :)

Maintenance free of course no need for top up of water

But you will have to change battery vevery other 1.5 to 2 plus yrs depenging how long your battery can tahan

Strange how come yours is maintenance free batt?

mine is not leh

[Mkl22]

took advice from bro soonkway about topping up the battery water

 

amazing! i used up almost 3/4 of the bottle ($1.50 from shell kiosk) when i toppped it up last evening. i have chalked up almost 6500k and it surprised me that so much was used.

 

it's easy to do and after this experience, will do it regularly as i don't want to get caught off-guard with the water level low, or have to spend on replacing the battery.

 

thanks, bro soonkway

 

as long as you cover slightly above the lead plates you are fine. please dont be too kiasu and add too much. else when gets hot some might spill out and corrode the tray or the battery holder.

Stock Vezel battery is non maintenance free type. Confirmed

Why not popping open the bonnet to check as they look diff.

Double confirm non maintenance free type. Need to top up ourself. I did so a couple of times but very min only.

Thank you bro for your sharing. At least i know is normal. If not i keep thinking is it my engine got problem.

 

I drive a X and i too find it noisy. Also depends what was your previous car. If quiet type, then you will not feel the difference.

 

When you are approaching to do your 1K servicing, do not use w40 engine oil, which is very common in Singapore. Honda manual says w20 but most of us use w30. Using w40 will be louder and lower FC.

wonder is there is anything to make the car quieter.

 

I am a little surprised.. This is a modern car and should be quiet. But its seems even noisier than those 10 year old Civic? Or I remember wrongly...

I was also surprised too as my previous ride was Sylphy which was much more quiet. Imagine using the latest technology but poor insulation.

 

There are some bro who install after market sound insulator at door, which does help to a certain extend to insulate outside noise. However to insulate engine roar, you will need to install it at the firewall, which would be quite complex. I did not do it so I can't tell you much.

 

Anyway, I learn to live with it and try not to lut too much to reduce engine roar while in SG.

Bro. Referring to noise from where? Noise can come from eng bay, tyres and base (road noise), roof (raining) and side doors. I do agree Vezel eng noise is louder.
