Re: My car die on me twice this month ...

The latest after deposit car on Saturday morning say 10 am. The service support test drive n there was no problem of my complaint however he felt my ride was not smooth so they will retain to kiv. They promised to call me on Monday.

But as usual they are busy n never call back. So I called at 6 n they said can't find problem. I asked if they erase error codes, they say no error codes. N promise to call me to update today.

Today they say can't find source of problem n they say they update software only.

Sat, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to update software n they say the ride is smoother now.

Ask for apple, they give pineapple

Re: My car die on me twice this month ...

Haha low rpm die car so will drive super slow... Dun honk me
 
Re: My car die on me twice this month ...

Finally I got my car back today. Drove back to office at fast speed car never die.
At 6.15pm, from office to bugis makan at street speed abit jerky at low gears due to the torque ... Can down from Office car park also never die ...

At 7.45 left Bugis and went highway ..... Good ... i found the situation i need... Traffic Jam on Highway along MBS towards Keppel .... Ebrakes then stop and move traffic at gear 1 all the way ... the car did not die ....

The Car die at low rpm is no longer there ....
+++

HOWEVER I NOTICE THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ...

Situation 1
Start car : RPM at 600-700
Put to Drive with leg hard on brakes : RPM 600-700
Release brakes with drive mode but not touching on gas : RPM 800-1000

Situation 2
Drive at street speed then slowly to halt : rpm will still at 900-800 RPM.
Full step brake : RPM 600-700

Accordingly to Munich, my car has no error codes, They say they did a reset and software update. (dunno why they need to reset ?_

+++
Problems after getting the car back

1. Steering wheel got more vibration compared than before
2. My 4 modes of lights is all cock up.
3. My Speedometer area where usually can show how much fuel is left is gone.
4. When open engine compactment, notice they remove 2 metal plates ... now is expose and can see the floor on both side ...
5. Car very Torque ... fully step on gas, usually i hit gear 7 at 120+ ... Now 130-140 at Gear 5 then i have to release the gas and the gear will auto up to gear 7.
ie. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 reach 120 +km/h gradual up .... now is like 1234 (100kmh)5 (130-140) release pedal liao ... car will still move then the gear will auto jump to gear 6-7/-
6. When on street put on sport mode, the exhaust is dammed extra loud ... Car is not torquey on sports mode. Compared than before, the car was very torque on sports mode. Seems like the normal driving mode has more ardenlina feel.... Sport mode like limbeh limbeh... got exhaust sound but no that powerful / no ardenlina feel.
7. Gear shift when dropping gear is not smooth ...
+++

Will drive and test longer but will write in to munich on the feedback ... At this stage at least no die car ... maybe they remp ecu ? maybe they up the RPM ...

MA reset that why you feel its different. after a while it will adapt to your slower driving style .....

The lights cockup etc - go back and get it fixed. software update screwed up.

How come they never check before handover ?

Re: My car die on me twice this month ...

Update day 2

On the way in the morning to work... Slow traffic on kje n exiting corporation road to pie clementi ave 6. Everything seems fine with full petrol taken on day 1 overnight.

The speed n pull is much stronger compared to before software update as what they had said. No dying of car BUT but ...

I was on aye to cte ... Was cruising at 50 kmph n the front car signal left to lane 2 while all along I was at lane 1. The road was clear at least for 1 km. from what I saw. So wanted to test n see the gear shift on auto mode .

Full throttle n the engine came to life. It auto drop gear m I saw it auto drop to Gear 2!!! Yes gear 2 n It stuck at gear 2 all the way to red line which worries me so I release the gas n the gear auto changed to 3/4/5 n 7.

Freaking weird to drop to gear 2 n redline all the way.

-----------

At night I m gg home a hour ago. Was cruising on sle n same situation clear road n cruising at gear 7 auto so full throttle n immediately it dropped to gear 4 n almost before redline, it auto change to gear 5 n almost redline n auto 6 gear.

All looks fine.

When change to sports mode, sounds loud but not as power as normal mode.

Will update Munich with a second email since they never reply to my first. Will monitor see n feedback.
