Will try it happyman

No la, tyre was another issue because my ride was really harsh, nothing to do with the grinding noise.

Actually the metal knocking/grinding noise can be heard when i start the engine in the morning, I think this is the same noise I hear when accelerating, the noise will go off when I let go the pedal.  I hope this is normal but need more insight owners to test their cars to find out.

actually notice this almost everytime i started my car. the sound go off in a while after i accelerate...i hope this is normal too, hard to describe to SA about this coz it does not occur when u wanted it to..

just back from the 1st 1km service at Sumber Auto. Honestly the service centre is better than what i expected
i think not every service centre has FOC car wash, as Sumber Auto doesn't have it.

after service, the acceleration pedal felt much more smoother~

I also hope this is normal.  My friend said he notice this too but sometime got sometime dont have.

So 5 of us have this "problem".

Can anyone please advise me on how to remove this yellow stain? I suspect it is cause by road tar and I tried removing it with Turtle wax car wash as well as the Bug & Tar remover, but it is still there. I last wax my car about a month ago.


Thank you

Was advised to use clay bar, does it help?

just apply some tar remover on that stain...leave it for a minute and just wipe it off with the cloth
i have tried it and it works...can't remember what brand it was anyway since it belongs to a friend of mine

OK.  Thanks.  Make sure radio off, air conditioning speed at the lowest.

totally agree...when parts & maintenance are cheaper, there will be more buying demand which would subsequently boost up the resale value..

i had just met an car accident on my insight ytd... due to the stupid faulty traffic light..
my bumper was dented...went to honda service center and consult the service advisor
was being told that bumper replacement would simply cost above 2k and the lead time for shipping is unknown (could take up to 1-2 months)...luckily, the advisor said that there is no crack (CBU made bumpers were tough) and the dented part would be easily being repaired by knocking and respraying the paint which would cost roughly RM 550

if there is no local assemble parts, i think the future resale value of this car would be very low..
if you are the 2nd hand buyer, would you want to get through such a hassle for parts replacement? not to mention that the price for the spare parts are neither decent ...
