CY lancer (08 lancer)

[Dave]

Reset the ECU. In modern cars the benefit is in the longevity you will enjoy rather than performance. Gas mileage is also negligible in the newer vehicles as the ECU is always eavesdropping and adjusting almost infinitely.

looking for tyres

have a CY lancer with the OEM 16" wheels and Yokohama tyres. I find them VERY noisy, Terrible Road noise and even my mechanic at first ask if my bearings were bad.

I keep seeing ppl rating the Dunlop DZ102, Sailun tyres and the Maxxis
I just want some peace and quiet when going down the highway and some decent treadwear ( about and 400 up)

Which should i Choose?

Dunlop dz tyres are no good on a wet road. Yokohama advan tyres are better tyres

I won't doubt that they are better in wet and dry but the noise is terrible. since about 20,000 Km its terrible road-noise and online reviewers said the same (I rotate on time religiously)

Guys with in recent times I have seen some corrosion on several local CY's.
It's located looking up at the rear deck from inside the trunk area. Also found corrosion on the front and rear bumper supports and the bonnet hinge mount. I suggest, that you inspect your car and if you find any corrosion and the car is under warranty have the dealer address it. If the car is older than 5 years you can have a body shop remove the corrosion and re-protect the area.

hey guys........ a lot of cs men up in here boy....anyway is there a gdi engine in the cy too, I'm seeing some with different engine covers

[IPES]

Ok fellars...the scale under the two averages..whats that about. ..when i come off the throttle it goes up and when i go on the throttle it goes to zero...anyone knows whats it about

[IPES]

This

[dredman1]

I believe thats your current fuel consumption (in real time).

[JUS4SHO]

Yup real time

[IPES]

Cool..but what does its fluctuations means with respect to beign on and off the throttle

[dredman1]

When you floor the gas, you burn the most fuel (hence why the bar goes to zero). When you come off the gas you burn the least fuel (hence why the bar goes towards the higher figures).

If you modulate the throttle gently while driving, the bar moves in proportion to your accelerator usage/vehicle load, reflecting more or less fuel usage.

Remember it's instantaneous, real time fuel consumption.

[IPES]

Much respect fellars...thanks for the info..

[JUS4SHO]

So anyone checked for the corrosion yet ?

My car seems ok - for now at least.
That area seems to be right below the rear glass, so it looks like water leaking from the glass rubber seal.

And welcome mety57
