Ssangyong Rexton Hub

Just back from a week long traveling. The full journey from Ipoh > Pg > Ipoh > Lumut > Ipoh > Cameron > Brinchang > Tanah Rata > Brinchang > Cameron > Ipoh > Sungkai > Ipoh > Pg > Ipoh traveled a total of about 1,400km for a period of 9 days for RM250 diesel that work out about RM0.178/km or 9.80 km/litre. Fuel consumption could be better if not for climbing Simpang Pulai > Cameron > Tanah Rata > Cameron and 2 days with heavy traffic at Pg town.

Smooth and comfy drive with 5 adults + 3 kids, just not much space left for luggage after 3rd row seat.

What's your drive experience from Cameron > Simpang Pulai? If you driving at night, that would be really challenging especially with Tokyo drifter-wannabe tailing you.

I wonder if anyone tried running 4WH on descending hill drive? Would this safer and better than using using lower gear force? Quite fun playing with the steptronic but worried if it will harm the transmission box.

Wow, that is RM0.169/km or 10.32km/litre, you sure win the fuel saver award. On a side note, my service center foremen advise not to use till empty as all the dirt and impurity at the bottom, he recommended to use till half of the last quarter. What do you guys think?

Bro rx270xdi,
aiyaa!if you don't want to see black smoke then follow my back lol!! he! he! he!

This is the same case today.. a white Alphard keep tailing me at 120kmh and the left lane is full, so no chance to give way to him. My Rexton is full load with 5 adults + 3 kids + luggages, plus in law on board, so must behave on road. When reaching Sgi Perak stretch with slight climb, just release fuel pedal awhile and then fully floor it with a thick black smoke bombing the Alphard and accelerate to 140kmh climbing leaving him behind in thick black smoke. He can't even accelerate to catch up with me... hehehe..

Now the black smoke is good defensive weapon against those who like to tail your backside, you can really smoke him and the black smoke is really thick blocking his good view.

RM0.18 / km for RX230's petrol engine is very good, hopefully you did confirm the figure is not from 80kmh at highway. Have not driven a RM230 before, so not sure how underpowered it is but if you are not taking Rexton for a rally or hill climbing, I think it won't matter too much. RX270XDI road tax is about RM1,100+ , how much is RX230 cheaper?

Bro,

Does your humming sound similar like mine when you test drive ? I still can't confirm mine if it is wind sound. When I tested with the foremen from service center here, he can't confirm too, got to leave there for further checking.

How is the new Petronas Urania CJ-4 engine oil feel like? Lighter and more power?



Hehehe.. wait if his injectors really clogged up, it must be your curse then

the humming come from below the car and I can feel a slight vibration when the speed reach 70km/h. have you tested with the window down?

Petronas Urania CJ-4 feel the same like previous oil, maybe after 5000 km or...I'll check the milage to see if any improvement later this week.

but changing the power steering oil does give some improvement, much smoother and lighter than before.

hey...1400km...you really raya than me..hihihi

Hi Bro,

Maybe is just because the Fuel Filter been 50% clogged up(Suspect), new filter will have higher the fuel pressure and flow rate, just worried his engine is running at very Lean, that why alot of smoke during pickup or full throttle.





Bro how much they cost for replace the bearing..? because i just bought the NTN 32008X for front wheel bearing, as i know SC charge for rm4xx plus for one side, outside machenic cost rm210 one side.

2300cc is about RM680-00.
