What did you buy? I would assume u used semi synth which cost rm98. Labour is free. Air Filter around rm15.

May I know the original battery is water or dry based?

Also regarding the AUX socket, can someone help identify which one is the correct socket? Since it's so hard to find.

Stock battery is wet or dry one?

I smell some cannon powder on the fuel consumptions.

Or are you one of the guys that bought the "six sense" power plug that increases few horsepower when you plug it into your 12V socket?

During cold start when i turn the steering left & right some ngu ngu sounds appear even when i'm not using the brake, and when the car moves out (wheels turned) the sound gets louder & I can feel abit of mild vibration on the pedals. No sound once the steering is straight.

It might have something to do with the steering/power steering or wheels but very strange once the car moved for a while the sound dissapear along with the vibration when i park arrive home & my car.

Also the same time appear is the strange start up sound that lasted for a sec after i cranked the engine. Also i can hear constant *crr crr* noise after starting up, something rotating is making the noise (generator/timing belt/fan?).

Any idea what's the problem?

is your sound loud? Mine when I turn the wheel when car not moving i can hear the mild sound when start moving my pedals vibrate abit and the sound is very loud it's annoying like some metal rubbing nguu nguu sound.

I don't have the aircond on when i start up, so the sound is something else? Can't be coincidense few parts start making sound the same time? Could it be Power Steering parts or Alternator/Timing Belt?

So you have not brought the car to service centre for checking?

Mine is Manual. I don't know it is spring sound or not just the Nguu Nguu Nguu sound everytime steering is turned and gets much louder when the car move while steering turned.

After 20-30mins drive the sound & vibration dissapear, then everytime cool down and drive the car the sound appears again... so I don't think it's the spring? Must be something that needs to warm up.

I think it's the power steering, the fluid has leaked til minimum, not sure where the leakage is but poured some fluid in to last for a while before going to SC, I hope they won't say it voided the warranty coz gonna piss people off since it's leaking.

The steering doesn't feel heavy when the oil is low, but there's this annoying nguu nguu sound when i turn the steering & vibration.

I hope it did not do any damage.

The fuel indicator has the tendency to drop exponentially after the 1/4 mark.

After the light turns on you can still travel some distance.

I have power steering fluid leak problem. Proton changed the whole power steering rack but leaking became more serious, before it takes 2 months to leak from max to min, now only 1 week already below min...

Also do we really need to do wheel balancing after changing power steerig rack? It's not under warranty so i have to pay for the balancing...

What can be the real cause of leak?
