Hi all, like to ask if latio is equipped with fuel filter? If yes, do we need to change the fuel filer? When to change and how much? Sorry to ask this question as can't find any thread on this subject matter. Thanks.

Hi Vypez, could like to ask you, how long do we need to service or change the aircon filter? And where is the aircon filter?

My Latio is going 2 year old this coming July.

Thanks a lot.

Hi All,

I jsut got my car not too long ago, but not sure about the Fuel Consumption for the Latio Sedan.

I am driving the premium sedan version and somehow i feel the FC seems to be abit on the high side. I did a reset of the the distance travel when i got a full tank and start to monitor.

It seems like I took 1/4 tank to travel about 60~62 KM. is it normal? Or is there some problem. My family had a slight mishap before durign the first few weeks, when reversing the car, they went too fast and the back where the hook is hit the kerb real hard, could it be the cause?

Appreciate if anyone can tell me if that's the normal consumption? Thanks. :crycry:

if your car is still within its first 5000km, i'd advise you not to worry too much about it as you're still running in the engine.

dont base anything on first 1/4 tank, base it on 1 full tank, till light up. pump to full(make sure its the same pump, same pump attendant) and calculate based on that.

distance travelled / litres pumped = FC.

you should be clocking about 12km/l.

as for the accident, no problem. except that your exhaust might be affected and leaking, thus causing loss of power and you revving more.

cheers bro. do check and revert. =]

Hi newbie here,

I got my Latio in January but unfortunately the car met a rock on the highway and causes my rear rims on the driver side dented....heartached!!!
My bro changed the rims to 16" kyowa rims and with firenza tyres...the ride seems more stable but i have problem when i travelling at 90km/h onwards (My normal speed on highways always approx 100-110km/h) as i sense vibrations..

I have done a few times balancing but the problem still persists.  :crycry:
1)Wonder if i should go for high speed balancing?Where to go to do it?
2)Is there other alternative?

Thanks. :smile: :smile: :smile:
