got such thing about new cars?

[bmw_m3]

juz got new kelisa.. dad say dun drive more than 80kmph till the 1st 1000km...
after the 1st car service on can go beyond that... got such thing wan meh? :emoticon_U: no poking plz..

 

[ehaab]

i think its not speed..but one is NOT supposed to rev the engine above
2.5K to 3K RPM..it depends on the manufacturer..

 

[crappy]

yo m8,i tihnk its true la...my car dealer also tell me tht...dun drive over the limit coz let the oil fully run around ur enjin wah..

 

[bmw_m3]

so basically its advisable to drive at around 60-80kmph for the 1st 1000km?

btw kelisa limited edition ezi 1000cc...

nowadays technology dont need to have speed or rev limit anymore

 

[crappy]

meaning?

 

[zan]

new cars with new engines have very little clearance between every moving mechanical components. maybe as small as one micron.

especially between piston and cylinder liner.

let me give an example here as comparison = be open minded first!

the 1st time you make love, you wont gasak rite? you take it slow first..

the secret is to prolong engine's life against abnormal wear and tear. even though car got warranty, but the benefits will go to you...

simple terms...just run in the engine for 1000km 1st la...
then whack it how much u want after ur 1st or sec service....how come i feel like i've sed this b4..?

 

[crappy]

hey guys,they got say can rev until wat limit ka,is i it drive slow slow only ka...below 80km?

 

[Doink]

all wrong...u need to run in like how u run in ur brakes...must rev more often but not 24 hours when driving...else ur car will lose power...

 

[bmw_m3]

hahaha... i think i get it.. slow and steady la.. but not necessary 80kmph juz don trash the engine/ but i dont get the brakes part.

 

[zan]

the proper term for brakes run in is bedding-in.

such practise is necessary whenever a new set of sic pad is changed or the disc rotors surfaced had been remachined (skimming).

just to be extra careful for the 1st 300km as the brake pad and rotor surface contact not 100% yet. they may lose efficiency without warning.
