dude.. nxt will be my 4th service. According P2 website, it will cost me up to 300 plus..
During my 3rd service, that guy told me this time thy using Gold engine oil(semi also).. but can lst for 10k KM.

Are this so called Gold engine oil can last for 10k??
And the guy warn me, if i go out service by my own, i will void my warranty.. Got such thing??
*

by sense, the gold oil can last for 10k km but may no good for engine health...
i using eneos 5w-30 cost me RM105 but i still retain 5000km interval for 5 months usage...

bcos the guy "warn" you must use his service mah... and use the warranty to threaten you...
but if within 10k until 15k km no issues at all, no parts damaged and free hassle...
i think wont have much parts will defect later...

so far i only claim my master power window switch only...
until 30k km no issues for the fixed parts... but for sure wear and tear parts wont included into...

Yo bro.. I found out something i have drive almost a year..
Regarding the USB pendrive.. Previously i use Kingston 4G as my MP3 pendrive.. I quite frustrate because it take long time to load song and whenever i off my engine and start back, the song wont resume.

But yesterday i plug another pendrive, 2G. It load fast, may be because the small capacity too but it can resume my last play song and even where i stop. Yo...

or u required to switch off the radio before u shut down the car?
at least u informed radio where to resume lo... if u shut down straight away sure radio wont able to capture

Guys, I'm going to service my car soon. Any idea on which auto transmission oil I should look into?

cheapo can be RM30+... expensive can up RM100+ brows.gif

QUOTE(fresh_ideas @ Jun 3 2009, 11:00 AM)
hi, i was just informed that a newer version of SE Myvi will be out soon around aug/sept. Should I wait till then or buy now?

the current SE cost around 53k while a newer 1 is 1.6 and cost around 60k++

does it make a big different when I sell the car?
*

1.6cc for 60k+ ?
u sure 1.6 will apply on myvi? anyway 60k was too over overpriced...

u sell ur car depend on car value... no based on engine capacity...

So does this mean that as long it is auto transmission oil, any brand will do? Cause my dad is selling parts for benz, if any brand will do, I'll just ask him get me one from the shop, no need go purposely look for myvi one.

I am going to change the absorbers on my Myvi soon.

I read that there are aftermarket replacement like APM, Sapura, Kayaba and Gab that are reasonable priced. I read through some of the threads here but didn't see where can I get these absorbers? Can anyone recommend a place that I can purchase these absorbers?

Also, other than Gab which I seen a lot of owner have fitted, what's the review of owner on the other brand like APM, Sapura and Kayaba.

I only want to replace the absorbers and have no intention to replace the springs. Also I am not keen to have adjustable set as I want a comfort ride at a reasonable price.

Thanx

u can check with Kent Goh since he owned spare part shop, u should have variety info about branding... smile.gif

A brake plate needed to change after 35000km ?

u means brake pad? i think it depend on ur usage...
the brake pad have a wear indicator, if the indicator touched the brake disc, it will create squeezing sound every time u depress brake... so it means u must change the brake pad asap before the wear indicator damage your brake disc... tongue.gif

i'm using 2p. so the fender bar is not necessary la??? i just want a more stability ride, especially on cornering....cos i'm a lazy breaker.....if not necessary i'll try my best not to do any breaking but releasing throttle and let it slow down itself.....hahahaha
*

actually excessive to use those bars may cause more problem...
those bars may able to "twist" ur car chassis into different shape if u cornering ur car harshly...
bcos some of car chassis areas built for flexbility, if u over strengthen the areas may end up "twisted" car chassis...

i never heard such problems occur before leh...... and according to my own knowledge understanding, it shouldnt happen, because these bars strengthen your chassis, in other word it helps to maintain your chassis in its original shape.
According to your statement of these flexible areas, since it is flexible, how could it being twisted ???
*

example strut bar on absorb bar...
actually u bringing the force from a side to another side directly...
so end up whole chassis twisted due to improper force distribution...
hence our car no designed with strut bars or what ever bars and no research done before with bars...

example like u installed 18-19" rim onto myvi... what the outcome then ?

Hello frens,

Just joined the forum, so I would like to ask anyone here to give advice. FYI, im using myvi 1.3 Manual, bought 3 years back ( April 2006 ). My car has clocked 65k++, will go for service by next month. BUT I want to change / upgrade my transmission oil, brake fluid, brake pads & coolant first. So here is my quest :

1. I plan to buy at spare parts shops, so could you guys pls give advise where shops should I go instead of Jalan Damai??

2.  Could pls advise me what brand / type of trans oil, brake fluid & coolant?

3. I plan to do at non P2 worksyops, so roughly what's the costs? I already asked P2 service centre, so they charge RM185 including alignment & balancing.

Pls help. Appreciated with many thanks.
*

But where ur location of Jalan Damai? sweat.gif
