the problem wont solve permanently as the grease will flush away by rain easily...


the SC want to earn some extra bucks...
anyway, how u know the SC offering the correct grease too as claimed by them?

other workshop able to offer those specialist grease too...
but of cos u need to look for trustable workshop...

caliper no so compulsory to change as it wont wrap easily...
just change the rotor and brake pad will do...

anyway, i changed to brembo OEM rotor + sumitomo brake pad, both cost me RM390...
hence sumitomo brake pad bigger than stock brake pad, but no issues to pair with stock caliper...

here the pic to let u all know what is the caliper exactly...
if still have the knocking sound from brake system, u can change the caliper pin which slightly bigger size than stock pin and can tighten the caliper... u all can find the aftermarket caliper pin from LYN garage sales too...


1: caliper pin
3: caliper

maybe p2 have the contract with brake rotor supplier for long term relationship...
that why the poor quality still retain as the profit concerned...

i think should quite common on conventional auto gearbox shifting right?

bcos i dont have raw power lag from engine as i using manual gearbox and giving me the power on the right time while as i always driving in offensive style...

i tried with myvi auto... no doubt the power are

700mb almost equivalent 80min of CD audio...
unless u means mp3 file in CD then different story...

but if u no intention to change ur CD player and no particular in music quality, get a MP3 modulator instead...

no too worth for RM60,000 for 1.5 myvi... i rather go for persona which have better comfort...
unless p2 upgraded the suspension system and reduce the car ground clearance...
otherwise highly doubt the car will turtle / oversteer while cornering with high speed...

maybe 2nd time oledi? 3 years once sound reasonable...

anyway, my myvi about 4 years 9 months but battery still original from p2 factory...
but i still believe his battery can last till 5-6 years...

maybe u steer ur car too fast...
if u steer too fast, ur tires may losing the grip with road, later will end up understeer / oversteer...

i also tried with 80km/h at LDP Damansara Utama Tunnel and the tight corner in front LDP furniture... no issues too...

1. cabin/air con filter can get easily around RM12-15 from LYN garage sales...
2. a stock spark plug usually can use up to 20k-30k km without any problems... otherwise got for iridium spark plug as it can last 100k km as claimed...


no so adviseable and the hassle of replacement now and future..
perhaps consider for new myvi LB manual instead?

mine RM50 around 450km, about 16-17km/L with manual, driving around klang valley only...

perhaps wait for ur next car and take manual instead...

since ur car just about 1 years old only... i think no point to get 2nd hand GB to install on ur new myvi...
somemore ur car still got warranty too...

all myvi doesnt come with cabin filter...

but u can purchase the cabin filter @ Rm12-15 from LYN forumer SAMHOW
the seller location at Dutamas Hartamas...

wondering anyone facing the front wheel have some sort of squeezing sound while the wheel turning?

i just did brembo brake rotor and sumitomo brake pad replacements few months ago...
i can hear the squeezing sound while depress the brake lightly...
but squeezing wont have again if depress harder...

wondering is the wheel bearing KO oledi...

quite normal for a car with auto transmission
