bro skyray, my last tank i tried with hold on... initially looking good. in fact the needle touch the 1/4 mark, i was at 300km.. think i never teok this before. normally by 330++ light comes on liao. so back to the hold thing at 300km the needle very slow to go down. i tot ho say liao, sure gd fc.. then stuck in jam bla bla bla, then start to drop fast. by the time i refuelled, was at 360km.. top up 42l.. calculate, aiyah, 8.51km/l... normal.. haha... never mind try again. i think best if i know when to switch between hold on and off, prob can give better fc.. because i start use hold, i leave it on all the time.. even when i going up slope, think that day was at golden landmark or queensway shopping centre, the car going up a hump at the middle of the slope, then like stuck there cannot move even though i rev the engine liao.. haha.. that time should hold off liao.. never mind, learn by trial n error..

Maybe bec' u kena stuck in jam, that's well it drop fast.... Similarly I guess it's also bec' your baby's nude, so when you try to climb a slope with humps, the 'push' is not there to move your baby when in 'HOLD-on' mode. For my case, i never had any problem on slope or rolling back even with 'HOLD-on' mode. Maybe its bec' I've installed all those things on my baby that gives the little extra 'push'... Guess it's still back to individual driving habits... if 'HOLD' does u good, then keep it, if not.... turn it off lor...? I too lazy, once engaged 'HOLD'... i kept it on all the time... unless trying to speed or cruising on MY NS-H'way bro skyray, my last tank i tried with hold on... initially looking good. in fact the needle touch the 1/4 mark, i was at 300km.. think i never teok this before. normally by 330++ light comes on liao. so back to the hold thing at 300km the needle very slow to go down. i tot ho say liao, sure gd fc.. then stuck in jam bla bla bla, then start to drop fast. by the time i refuelled, was at 360km.. top up 42l.. calculate, aiyah, 8.51km/l... normal.. haha... never mind try again. i think best if i know when to switch between hold on and off, prob can give better fc.. because i start use hold, i leave it on all the time.. even when i going up slope, think that day was at golden landmark or queensway shopping centre, the car going up a hump at the middle of the slope, then like stuck there cannot move even though i rev the engine liao.. haha.. that time should hold off liao.. never mind, learn by trial n error..

Hi guys, just came back from very short trip to M'sia. Did JB-Tampin-JB yesterday round day trip and FC only manages 9.06km/l. Quite disappointed did not hit 10. Will not include this into the updates as its not our local driving condition. Its not all disappointments actually. After Yong Peng climbing up that hill towards north, hit 160km/h, RPM was at about 3.5K. Rest of the journey was driving very decent around 120km/h only but when need to overtake, it was fast and no problem, not like screaming to get up to 150km/h, quite smooth and not stressful. Thats why the 5 hundred over km drive not tiring and quite enjoyable. Just to share.

hmmmm....just came back from day trip to Malacca on Sat. Hitting 160 and over taking is no prob...but my rpm was at 4k...
One thing I find a "bother" is that the steering wheel is too light for comfort at that speed....

For me at 160 steering felt ok, just right, not too light. Ya bro Nic, since it's your 1st time in your carens2, long distance, just take it gently. don't push it if you don't have to. Better be safe. My 160 was only for the stretch up that hill after Yong Peng after that, even going down hill, I was staying put at 120. I was really pulling my hair with this stock steering of mine cos when I need the horn to work it wont. Really contemplating changing the car but since you got lobang for boss kit for our carens may be consider getting those momo lookalike. cheaper to change steering than change car. Will tap into you when I found my new steering man.

Guys, one more thing. Me doing another round of ECU programming, this time it's by the Korean Racing Team which won the Thailand 4x4 in their Musso. Will keep you guys updated on the outcome. This time round they say no need to remove ECU, strictly through the Diagnostic Port next to our Resonator Box. This problem is only with the 1.8l Carens2. Those with the 2.0 CVVT engine no issue.
