Guys, my Gen2's fuel gauge meter suddenly dropped to empty after I pumped the car full tank a few days ago Been driving around with the car and no obvious issues except the meter will normally start with something and then end up pointing to empty again. Any idea what's happening and any fixes?

So I need to replace the fuel pump is it? How much would that cost me yea roughly? Thx

Thx both! Will check the car out with my trusty mechanic this weekend. Cheers!

Normal days also got bro. Actually when it happened first time (while I was pumping fuel) was a sunny day. Until today also still got this problem

Guys, anyone have changed their air-con compressor before? How much for one ya? Also, what's a good tyre to change for the Gen2 if I want to keep the size as stock 195/55/15? Thanks!

Yea, I always replace the aircon filter when I do my 10k service. So it's not the filter's problem already hehe. Oh Kruizer NS700 ya.....how's the grip during rain? and how much a piece ya?

Hmm will check with my mechanic for the pricing and see what he quotes me and thanks for the link bro. 175 is quite cheap. I bought mine duno two years back or so Synergy M5 also around that price if I'm not mistaken. I was actually planning to enquire for the Goodyear Assurance series. Don't know how much for those.

Guys, I've decided to give my Gen2 ('04 model) some fixing up since I plan to use it at least till 200k km (hopefully )

So I need you guy's help to help me list down what needs to be replaced apart from the usual service stuff (e.g. air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant etc)

I am planning to change:

- 4 pieces of tyres stock size (please recommend a good value for money (not necessary cheap) brand with good grip and comfort)
- absorbers (need to change these? my car mileage approaching 120k km)
- repaint the car (do I need to inform JPJ or something if change color? how is the process of repainting done, i mean how are they going to paint the internals like those areas near the engine? or those won't be repainted?)
- aircon compressor

Can you guys help to quote roughly how much those changes is going to cost me and for some like the tyres, can you please recommend a brand? If I left out anything that should be replaced for a car of that age and mileage, please also help to suggest. Thanks in advance!

Ok got it. Will definitely consider the Maxxis tyre strongly. I don't mind a bit of noise since normally I drive alone or max with a passenger on board hehe. Important is grip for me

Yea, I am feeling the absorbers something wrong already so doing survey now.


But if repaint other color, do they paint the internal parts like inside the engine? Isn't it a little hard to paint those places?

My aircond compressor already almost gone case already Not really cold anymore but still functional la.

Btw, recently I noticed my steering is shaky when driving but my tyres are alright, any idea what causes it?

Thx bros

K bro, thx for the advice on the painting part. How much is a good price for MA-Z1 bro? As for the absorber set, the coil spring also need to change or optional? Not really sure what's a coil spring

Ya I always replace the filter and also refilled the gas several times already. Even my mechanic told me the compressor anytime gona KO just see when only

I'll keep an eye for the MA-Z1 then as I find the thread pattern to be quite good with pretty good reviews overall. But I'm not sure if they sell it below RM 200 in Penang area Will ask around and bargain. Btw, how are Michelin PS3? I heard they are more expensive but seemed to be very good tyres. What are your thoughts on this model bro and a reasonable price for them?

Haha fair enough man. Really appreciate the tips given. Will head out to the workshop / tyreshop this weekend
