clean your car before sending it for servicing.....

 

they will clean for u, but anyhow one... if your car got dust, comfirm got alot of swirl marks after the servicing..

 

so better clean on your own first...

 

personal experience

[Shorty]

hmm...ok.confirm must wash car one.these few days rain until car become so dirty.trying to send it for polishing.any other advice?

[Ngck]

check your car throughly before sending it in lor.....

 

not happy with anything tell them to fix it

[Shorty]

is it normal for de rpm to be at 2.5k when driving at 90km/h?n there wil be a little vibration at de steering wheel?

[Ngck]

depends on the car i think...

 

but new car should not have any vibrations leh.....

 

wait for the experts to come in....

 

my vios at 90km/h is ard 2krpm

 

what's your car make btw

[Shorty]

mine is de aveo5.

ok all experts out there...pls advice.

[Ngck]

nice car...

 

i nearly went for a aveo also....

[Ahhan7]

different car at different speed goes with different RPM, depending on the gearbox.

 

by right, new car should not have vibrations. got stuck kerb or anything like that? if nv, try changing ur rims to 1" bigger.

[Ngck]

i struck kerb twice.... car still moving nicely.... no vibrations

 

stupid lah... trying to talk, play with my mp3 player and driving out of the carpark at the same time

 

normal or not, i think highlight the problem to the service guys

[Ahhan7]

wow..struck kerb twice! should be no problem since no vibration.

 

yup, at servicing, dun think its neccessary to mention it.

 

next time driving that time dun do so many thing.

2.5k rpm at 90 km/h is normal. Mine same also. But I don't have any vibration even travelling at 100 km/h.

Probably due to my 15" tyre. Yours stock 13"?

[Viz88]

Same with my Aveo,

 

rpm at 2k -> 70km/h

rpm at 2.5k -> 90km/h

 

vibration at steering wheel dun really feel it.

[Shorty]

yup stock 13".de vibration is not too much.but still can feel.so can de alexandra service ctr b able to rectify de prob?...cos i know dat side cant do much.

[Xavier]

I haven been to servicing yet. But my SE said that Ubi will have more equipment to do all checking. Leng kee only simply servicing. Better call the service center to check with them and tell them the problem.

Yo Shorty,

 

Just did my 1k servicing on Friday at Alexander too......

 

My view is, no need to worry so much ......its only been 1k.They would change your oil, using Mobil 20W50 (Mineral)

Change a washer and your oil filter, thats what they did. Took them about1 1/2 hrs, the guys over there very friendly, all uncles liao. I had some issues with my wiper, as it was rattling whenever its wiping....even in the rain, so i told tehm to take a look at it and they fixed it. They will also wash your car for you.

 

Just tell them anything that you might suspect or feel uncomfortable about and they would help you look at it. Total cost for my 1k sercving was $42.53 wGST.

Broz,

for me.. 80Km - 2K RPM. 90Km - 2300 RPM about there.
