Best fuel saver vehicle in the market

Good way to save on oil is use perodua viva car...


Due to down turn of world economic car manufacture around the world try to produce car which is small engine power ,less fuel consumption, more performance, environmental friendly, easy maintenance, small design, futuristic features and not to forget digital control. 

In our country Malaysia one of the successful car maker was Perodua beside Proton. Below is a picture taken from Viva engine which is installed with so called magnatic control..

There is several way how to increase your car performance. Like what my friend told me that you can use magnet from computer hard disc and place it on fuel pipe line on your car engine no matter what brand is your car.

Another way to increase your car performance was install with hydro fuel . Hydro fuel is a technique to combine hydrogen gas with normal petrol. This hydrogen gas was extracted from water and sent to engine to burn together with petrol. To know more about hydro fuel you can read previous post on this blog.

So beside you got extra power you also save your car's fuel consumption.

BAD REVIEW CAR

VIVA CAR – BAD QUALITY CAR


I asked the same salesman to replace the car with a new Viva car but he refused. He directed me to go to a service centre in perak Road. The service centre found no leaking – so nothing was replaced. Feeling scared the car might burn while driving, I parked the car in the garage and hardly used the car. Days later radiator water and wiper water level went down again. This time I found a new problem – sticky liquid drips on my floor from engine area even after not being used for a few days.

The same salesman ordered me to go to a better Perodua service centre located in Segambut. The Segambut service centre did not find any problem. So again nothing was replaced. But the service centre painted the rear brake drum to hide the rust. The front brake disks were left unpainted.

Still feeling scared the car might explode while driving, I parked the car in the garage. A few days later radiator water and wiper water levels went down again. On 2nd visit to the same Segambut service centre, a spare part to solve the water leakage from radiator was replaced by the service centre.

Still feeling unconvinced and scared, I parked the car in my garage again with only a few km drive to charge the battery. A few days later, the radiator water kept reducing again. And again I found pink color sticky liquid drips on the floor.

Jan 2012 - On my 3rd visit to Segambut service center the mechanic found out the radiator hose is leaking. To my surprised the service centre didn’t have the spare part. It took days for the part to arrive. Now only the mechanic realized and said it was dangerous to drive the car, so the car was hospitalized for a few days.

Now I am waiting for a call from the Segambut service centre to collect my car. No specific date was given to me.

ANOTHER VIVA USER EXPERIENCE
One day at Perodua service center, while waiting for my car to be checked, I chit-chat with a man who used to own Viva car. He lives in Gombak. He had unresolved steering problem. The car made a sound every time he turned the steering. Even after changing the same parts a few times, the problem was not solved. He did not want to go thru all the troubles to ask for a replacement of a new Viva car. I think, he believed even a new Viva car would come with the same problem. So he sold-off his problematic Viva car.

PERODUA CAR ACCORDING TO MECHANIC
I met a car mechanic. He asked me why I bought Viva. I answered because it is cheap. From his experience he told me that Viva cars has lots of problem. After 4-5 years of use, the wiring problem can occur. And to repair the wiring problem, it can cost up to RM400. But the mechanic did not tell me other problems.

MY RECOMMENDATION
Never ever buy Viva cars. The car is assembled by Banglas. No quality control checks. The cars are released from factory without proper tests carried out. Salesmen simply deliver the car without much knowledge about the car. The salesmen have no checklist when delivering the car to the customer.

As for mechanics at Perodua service center, they just came out from unknown Pusat Latihan somewhere and have no experience. The mechanics take the customers’ complain lightly. No detail tests are carried out by service center when a customer complains. The service centre don’t keep spare parts and it takes days for the spare parts to arrive from the factory as though the factory is located overseas. Never buy Viva cars- 2nd hand Viva cars or new Viva cars.

Maintenances cost and service cost for Perodua Viva



Every car must have is own period for maintenance & service. For basically my  Perodua car, the cost will not be the same because the raw material cause always change from time to time. It also applicable for all type of maintenance in every car.

For my Perodua viva basically :

1. First service will cost in average:RM180. The part was including engine oil(3l SL), gear box oil (dextron       111 1.7l), oil filter, gasket.(not including service charges because for 1st-3rd service will get free                    service@ labor charges). For 1000km.

2.second service will be less expensive because does not need to change gear box oil. The cost will be in          RM120. For 5000km

3. 3rd service will cost rm200 because need to change spark plug for engine.For 10000km.

4. Normal service will cost RM230 because has service @ labor charges. For every 10000km

5. Major service will cost RM350 because will change engine oil, gear box oil, spark plug, radiator oil,             brake oil and etc. For every 20000km.

Some of accessory we need to change in 20000km was cabin filter( because it will give better air into our car during air con), battery terminal protector, and battery water. (to ensure log life battery for our car)
