I just pump a full tank. Gotta change my driving style. Slowly move off and change gear around 3. Glide towards traffic light. See how it goes.

Btw using engine brake frequently will spoil the gearbox?

maybe xiaopiggy can sit in ur car while u drive and observe your driving style and feedback to you.

You mean I need to brake to a lower speed before I engage engine brake?

His FC will become even worse if he do rev matching.

my driving style not very relac one. min. rpm shift @ 2.8k. hahaa.

some habits of mine when driving, plan routes loh. don't no aircon for no freaking reason. im fact i don aircon most of the times. unless im in small roads with bad traffics.

my aircon also quite cold, so after awhile i actually switch to fan.

anticipate traffic lights if possible, if amber lights = free gear if im at a distance. no hard braking unless necessary.

lighten load. don happily put all your stuffs inside. put what is needed.

check psi for tyres. very important. it makes a huge difference.

don't idle too long, if waiting jus off engine.

do not let your car underpower when changing gears. esp gears 1 to 3. cs3 is relatively a easy car to drive, heavy traffic i jus keep to gear 1 until i have sufficient road to go gear 2. save ur legs from clutch playing too.

regular servicing. don need expensive EO. normal will do. make sure ur plugs are check.

i don know wad kind of roads you drive bendi85, but i avr 3 times a week in heavy traffics for 30mins.

My brother was driving my dad's berlingo most of the time. His driving habit is from gear 5, reaching traffic light, instead of brakes, he go gear 3 straight let the engine rev.

Gear 3 spoilt at year 9.

So if you haven been doing that, just do whatever u are comfortable, car last 10 year only.

That is engine brake.

He asking bout engine brake right?

 

[bendi85]

Most of the time I will do a brake plus engine brake to supplement it. Will spoil the gear box ah?
I thought that's what the school teach?

Rev matching is not engine brake. Anyway rev matching will not save your gears, it saves your clutch.
