I sent my car to SC this morning regarding the sound coming from driver seat front right. After SC inspect my car, they told me that is the power steering problem. need to change rubber at power steering which will cost me RM150++. I told them i have extended warranty for that and they said it is wear n tear thing? should i pay them?

huh?? my steering also got sound when turn left... 'krok'...
plan send to check during 10K service tim..

mine is knocking sound when drive at bumpy area... donno i can claim using extended warranty or not..

Yes. Must pay. Basically, EWP is a load of bullshit...it only covers things like engine, gearbox and a few other things. All other stuff not covered. That's why i didn't even bother with getting extra 2 years EWP for my Inspira....waste money only...lessons learnt from my Savvy.

Mine is groooooo groooo sound which i had post video b4, went to SC they told me is normal due to the overflow fluid on the steering pump and he confirm many persona and saga blm got this sound.

What u stated is the cold pressure.

How old is ur car?

Matrix: owh okay.. thanks for the info.. seems duit raya kena potong this year hahahah

xandras: my car is 2 years already

so this presure is alright?

I usually pump 230kpa front and 210 rear. Cold pressure.

Since pump is only 2km from my house, I usually pump 235-240 front and 215-220 go directly from house. At longer distance, at at least another 10kpa.

dun understand the cold pressure and "hot" pressure!

u go from home u pump 230kpa front and 210 rear....
if u go pump after work or long hour run, u pump 235-240 front and 215-220..
correct me if i misunderstand!!

Cold pressure is when you tyre is cold such as in the morning before you drive out. Hot pressure is usually under hot sun or after some driving distance where the air heats up.

So my intended cold pressure is 230 / 210 front /rear (prefer slightly more air, still within acceptable cold pressure range, better driveability). Measured with tyre gauge from house before I drive.

Abt 2-3km drive would heat up the tyre, so add to 240 / 220 pressure. It was not recommended to pump tyre after long run since the pressure will not be accurate. If you have to, add AT LEAST 20kpa to your intended pressure...for me it will be 250 front and 230 respectively.

When you measured again in the morning. It should be abt 230 / 210 respectively. Always prefer to pump slighly more coz if need to be, i can release air easily coz if pump not enuf, have to go station again, very mafan.

oh... meaning when tyres is hot have to pump more la...
then may i know the maximum pressure for tyre is how much??
coz worry over inflated and run for long hour the tyre will explode...
during sept will drive to hat yai...

Don't pump more than 6 psi extra than the tyre cold pressure spec.
Won't explode wan lah but your tyre will wear off faster.

hi guys,maybe going to buy persona auto soon

so is it worth to take EWP??

Technically speaking.. Whenever the police want to conduct a roadblock, A top ranking police officer must be there to supervise. Top ranking as in the rank of the police is at least 3 stars or 1 crown and above ( the pangkat on the shoulder strap there). Then only its legal.. All those 3 man ones are technically illegal. So if they were to insist on issuing me a saman or asking for more bribe. I would surely shoot them on the spot ady..

Mine too, slightly above the Full line..

Carbon fibre backplate with crystal fonts mah..

best pressure is 230kpa 33-34psi front and 220kpa or 32psi and below for the back.
Anything above u will have a lot of uneven wear and tear on the tires.

haha.. If do that.. even illegal roadblock also i will end up for dunno how many years in jail.. If in JB can do that lah.. Got big shot cover me there.. In KL, unless i have flip license plate then I wont do it lah..

When ur engine is cold (cold means u can put ur hand directly on the extractor) then u check if the engine oil level. iF its higher than FULL then u are in trouble.

Black is very nice.. Best chick magnet color.. Although u need to wash it regularly. But with the correct polishing and waxing technique and product used, it looks like a show car..

So if u expect ur car to breakdown due to lousy engine or transmission with the 2-5years time frame.. Better off selling the car away and getting something more reliable than just paying extra for something not necessary.
