Greetings,

Guys ! Any idea how to settle the following issue :-

* The Steering Honk cover seems to be loose and the sound of screws or something vibrating inside is quite annoying especially going through road bumps and bumpy roads ..

Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Guys .. add on this to issue, has anyone here encounter SC representatives asking you to install a Metal Magnet for the Engine ?
Use to absorb those dirty scraps or 'sisa' of the combustion chamber that will destroy your engine ? blink.gif

@sebastianchan@

what is your mileage?

if it's the 1st or 2nd service, changing air filter,  battery protector oil and ATF is not necessary.
usually they will only change the engine oil, plug gasket and oil filter on 1st service and it cost under 115 bucks.
i usually service at Desa Tun Razak near the Puspakom.
call them in advance to check the available date. bring along the service booklet and make sure to come early.
they used to open after 7.45am! just drop the service booklet at the counter and wait for the call.

i've got mine done within 3 hours.

@HughieRmX@
you shouldn't just accept their offer. PESC is well known to coax you into paying more by adding this and that....
especially to inexperience 1st time car owner  sweat.gif

Sigh .. Guess I got conned for this one. mellow.gif
Since they keep on insisting to install it for the 10K Mileage service ..

I have just did my 1k Service...
It took about 1 hour to finish from queuing to collect my car...

they asked me to do this and that and i rejected all of them and i asked them just follow what is in the service book...
no extra things needed...
it cost me RM 113.74
Things that cost me:
Shell Helix Plus HX7 - RM99
Oil Filter - RM 12.22
Gasket Plug, Oil Drain - RM 2.52

The engine oil they gave me is 10w40
but the manual says that the car must use 20w50 and the note in the Manual says that:-
"Using engine oil with a lower API classification will void the warranty"

so, this means that the SC that i went has just void my warranty?
or i can just continue driving it with the current oil of 10w40?

sorry that i asked so many questions... this is my 1st new car... i do not know how to take care of a new car...
i only know how to take care of 20 yrs old car...  blush.gif

Shell Helix ? .. They are using Petronas Engine Oil for my side here. 3 times in a row .. :|

Darn it !! Yesterday when I was waiting for the traffic light @ Jalan Bukit Bintang (In front of Times Square) .. a motorcycle was twisting left - right around the space in between cars to pass through. And suddenly Bang ! the motorcycle head crash into my side door and leaves a long scratch along the both side doors.

Anything can help to clean up those marks ? *Black scars* .. blink.gif

@HughieRmX@
is it a deep scratch that affect the paint as well or just a black mark?
you can try polishing using soft 99 polisher. it works fine on minor scratch and paint mark.

Both type of marks also available after thorough checking .. Hmm,alright will give it a try to get it from Jusco Departmental stores. I think I say it before .. Metal Square Can with a sponge if I am not wrong.
Thanks .. wink.gif

u can try meguairs scratchx if its not that deep..works very well but u have to rub it quite hard couple of times to get it off. if after couple of times it doesnt work, means u need to repaint that portion with touch up paint.

Thanks for sharing the tip. Is this 'Meguairs Scratchx' available at those normal Jusco dept. stores ? OR specific car accessories shop ? smile.gif

I reached my first 250km this morning.

I spent RM33 petrol to go that distance. FC works out to roughly $0.13 per km. Is it normal for break-in period?

I drive a manual, 90% city, never exceed 80km/h or 2.5krpm.

Looks good on your FC feedback. Your driving speed is constantly below 80 kmph .. that's good. At least don't speed over 100 kmph .. for the 1st 1,000 mileage.

Mine is about 240 km ~ 260 km in a week's time which consume about RM50 - RM58 for full tank petrol. Currently using RON 95 from SHELL or CALTEX. 90% City Cruising around ...
Acceleration power differs on the petrol you pump into your car.
Current Odometer is approx 15,000 KM. Waiting for the next Car service session.

Greetings,
Have anyone encountered before - your SAGA seems to be underpowered when you have just started the engine and moving, building up the speed ?
My case here is that, the gear seems to be remain staying at 1st level as the mileage meter remains 20 kmph even you step on the pedal but the rpm meter is rising to 3,000 .. unsure.gif
