Not too convinced it's engine mounting, but I'll check

Thanks for the info Steven. Just changed my plugs, will check my filter. I'm more concerned if it's a loose tappet, will it be an expensive fix?

You Waja not using rocket fuel meh?

Cool, thanks.

You're using TNT for fuel? Dude you know I am going to believe you right?

Dammit Steven always pimping ECU reflash, make me itchy but still saving money....Elton mentioned for city driving only need stage 2 right?

Remove your rear seat, there's a circular hatch in the center where the rear seat rests. Remove the hatch to access the fuel pump sitting in a well.

Detached the power cable and two fuel lines connected to the pump from your car (but remember how they are connected because you need to put them back later!!!!). Now the tricky part...there's a metal ring holding the pump in place which will take some force to rotate it out of it's place and allow the pump to be taken out.

The fuel pump looks like this, and the fuel level sensor is as labeled (random google image).



It is essentially an arched array of contact strips touching the moving arm of the floater. Those are the parts that could get dirty and give you bad readings.

Personally I would take it to a workshop if you've never seen it done before. A new pump costs RM400-500 so it's not something you wanna be messing with willy-nilly.

Regarding question 3, you need to document the actual distance you traveled in order to calculate the FC. For best estimation, fill up your gas tank to full (until the gas pump auto stop), travel, then refuel again to full when you're done. Note the distance you've traveled and how many litre was pumped in on your second refuel.

My brake makes that kind of sound every morning, though after a few minutes of driving it'll go away and remain so for the rest of the day.

My previous Saga was also like that, so I have no idea.

Wear a full face helmet la...then you can tell them it was not you, it was the Stig.

Um...I was told that our roads have a very slight inclination to the sides for water drainage purposes, which is why the car will always go left (sometimes right) when you release the wheel. I don't know whether that's true, but all the cars I drove (Saga, Wira, Vios, Waja) all tend to go to the left, but seldom or never to the right. My Waja not so noticable, but it's there.

Or maybe I'm just very unlucky because all the cars I drive have bad alignment.

Guys know any good place to do alignment and balancing in the Cheras Area(Near Tesco Extra)? Especially someplace that can do good on-wheel balancing.

I'm being very cautious since last time I was like an idiot got sold a whole set of expired tyres for full price.

Close shop already lor that bugger.

That happened a few years back when I was still driving my old car. My regular mechanic was inspecting my car when he say my "new" tyres 4 years old already (according to the manufacturing date), I was surprised coz it was less than a year when I bought the new tyres.

SOOOooo....any recommendations?

Thanks but I was looking for tyre shops, not tyres.

If you read my original question, I was looking for a good shop to do alignment and balancing.

The expired tyre thing was just an example of me conned by a "black shop" a few years back, hence my request for someone to recommend a trustworthy shop (In Cheras).

But I appreciate your help nonetheless
