hi guys, got a question

my Viva radiator cooler (red color) level now approaching L already, should I add the red coolant or just add distilled water till F?

where can I buy the red coolant just in case I need em in Bangi/Kajang area.

Thx smile.gif

Hi for me I will use back the red colour cooler....cuz the boiling point compare between water and cooler were different any normal workshop can get I think...

Firstly welcome to the club...you are most welcome and encourage to learn n share here..espcially regards to our precious ride..

In order to reduce the bodyroll.. I personally suggest u to install the front top stabilizer bar and also install the anti roll bar (is installed underneath on the rear).. This will cost u around 500rm for both (including installation) UltraRacing brand for sure.. U do ur home work as well about these bars..

Ive installed 3 bars on my car..(rear lower + arb + front top stabilizer bar)  I do feel the difference after the installation.. More confident while cornering..  laugh.gif

Which part of flushing that ur not clear? If u look underneath of the car..at the radiator part there like this one white tap like plug.. To drain the coolant just open that part.. And at the same time run water thru the top part..and internally run water on the reserve tank as well.. After few mins start the engine as well and keep running water .. ( water will leak on the bottom part as well) this is to drain away the rusty water from the tank and radiator..

After clean water drains out turn off engine and close back the drain tap which is under neath the radiator..
Fill up coolant directly to the radiator 3/4 full and balance goes to the reserve tank..and add normal tap water to the radiator until it overflows..and also don't fill the reserve tank full..just follow the marking..(normally 3/4 full)..

That's only what I can share based on my exp.. Correct me if I am wrong

Damn that pretty high FC.. Heavy foot eh?  tongue.gif

My full tank..(rm 55-57).. Can clock up 380-400 kms..

I am driving highway+city.. 1.0 manual.. A bit of mod here and there..
*
for me i not that heavy foot on viva,cuz this car was not design for speed if no modify....average about 80-90km/h in highway...but mine was 1.0 auto...
i just checked anti roll bar cost me RM 180 for front 4 point joint...

the only thing we can do on tyres is to down grade to 13" as its profile will be higher..

Few days back my gf's hse key and car key was accidentally locked inside the house... house's spare keys is inside her Viva... Called a "KEY" man to come and unlock the car... it took him less than 2 minutes to open the Viva passenger's side door shocking.gif

According to him, he can open almost any cars' door... impressive, yet scary sweat.gif
