RD2 Fuel Consumption

[king_jamez]

i did my oil change using 5w30, atf changed, air filter changed, spark plugs running alrite...the only thing right now is the plug cables...bought from spare part shop but was changed twice cuz not for my coupe but for other cars like elantra and matrix as they claim it's the same...so will be changing it again and this time i demanded that i only wan my model...they said they have 1.8 ones but not 1.6...any rd2 owners mind to share their fc so that i could have a direct comparison? thanks mengking for the advice! 0.2 cents/km is fine for 2.0 but mine is close to 0.3 cent per/km for a 1.6l...=(

I think the best is for you to get your ECU plugged in and you can inspect the data and check on any irregularities. Failure is certain sensors like MAF sensor may cause your fuel/air ratio to be incorrect. This will cause excess emission from your exhaust and causing you to run rich on your fuel.

i always travel to subang and practically subang is near my place....xD which area of subang? was thinking of sending to hyundai already as i heard some saying that hyundai offers free sensors checking...

the workshop is in ss19 dude.. but if hyundai is offering free sensor checking then y not try them out:)

will try giving hyundai a call and if they do not provide such service i'll prolly look for u again for help....xD thanks scoupe!

otherwise check on exhaust.. i remembered exhaust leak is a cause of low power and high fuel consumption
