Appreciate the input embekism, though I would like to counter some of my own...

QUOTE(embekism @ Jul 18 2013, 10:50 AM)
•    Drive safely. Many car fires are caused by collisions. Driving defensively, not speeding, and following the rules of the road can significantly reduce the chances of a car fire.
*
True, but no matter how safe you drive, there are bound to be idiots on the road with high chances of banging you.

QUOTE(embekism @ Jul 18 2013, 10:50 AM)
•    Keep your car free from trash and other flammable materials. Do you have trash or debris under your car seats or anywhere in your vehicle? Do you carry large amounts of materials in your car? Keeping your car free of flammable debris can stop some car fire from starting and prevent some car fires from spreading.
*
Even some of the sound proof materials stuff in by P2 are flammable, to the point that some owners in MyAlza had DIY their own fire protection sound proof materials themselves, probably for they know Alza is Kereta Mudah Terbakar...?

QUOTE(embekism @ Jul 18 2013, 10:50 AM)
•    Keep a fire extinguisher in your vehicle. We’ve said that not all car fires can be prevent, but small car fires can be stopped if caught early. Keeping a vehicle-sized fire extinguisher in your car can make the difference between a small amount of damage and a total loss.
*
I'll just evacuate everyone and everything on board and let it burn... tongue.gif

QUOTE(embekism @ Jul 18 2013, 10:50 AM)
•    Have aftermarket products, such as stereos, speakers, or DVD players, installed by professionals. The improper installation of these products could lead to electrical fires.
*
I would love to know if there are professionals or "audio engineers" around that are expert in in-car entertainment and can mess around with your wiring without hazards. Most auto-ICE industry players out there employs trial and error concept a la Ah Beng Style.... Audio engineers' POV I guess... With Alza's limited output, I don't think there's any way to squeeze more juice out of your car battery to pump out more bass short of adding one more battery pack. "Split the wires then..!"

QUOTE(embekism @ Jul 18 2013, 10:50 AM)
•    Make sure to have your fuel lines checked regularly. A cracked, split, old, or decomposing fuel line is very dangerous and could quickly cause a fire, especially in the event of a collision. Be sure to maintain your car’s fuel lines and fix any apparent problems.
•    Make sure that your engine is clean and maintained. Again, regular and proper maintenance of your car can prevent a wide array of car fires. A dirty engine soaked with oil could increase the chances of a fire.
*
While this is a noble gesture, however many drivers only know how to drive and not maintain a car. Then again a cracked, split, old, or decomposing fuel line on an at most 4 year old Alza, that's like, wow... QC issue...? We're not talking about a 10 year old car or something, are we...? It really sounds like the Alza does not have any parts that are reliable. All sourced from the lowest bidder. No wonder my Alza drives like a 10-year old car despite being fresh out of the oven brand new.



Bottom line is, Alza is still not a recommended buy if you value life. If you have one, pray it doesn't fail, and don't mess around with the electricals.

it has to be design fault. if we can isolate the root cause and then can make some modification to the part that can easily contract fire.

Bought from Edy last time.. RM150 I think..

I just bought another normal bosch brake pad about RM50, haven't tried yet..

I nowadays not so crazy about optimising the car oledi.. just use the lowest cost to maintain it.. oledi fed up tongue.gif

No matter how I mod, the car definitely won't become RM100k car..

Anyway I am having fun drive with my Alza on city driving, much better than my wife's civic 2.0 2010.. because i can just kasi hantam lubang and easier to accelerate within short distance..

Hi,

This thing happen to me just now after I parked my car I heard like water/liquid dripping on a metal thing. This is around engine area. The sound is like water dripping into empty milo tin. Drop by drop, the interval between each drop is like 3/4 second. Kinda funny to hear this suddenly. Anyone experience this? Is it air cond water? Even it is air cond water I think it should drip to the ground and not to any metal area in the car.
Should I be worried?

Yeah I know I just walked into a nightmare.

Pertama sekali, Welcome to your worst nightmare...!

Alza ni kan Kereta Mudah Terbakar... Nak buat tambahan kat wiring lagi ke...? Biasanya kalo P2 tak dapat cari punca kerosakan, memang logiknya kena cabutkan kesemua tambahan yg melibatkan pengubahsuaian wiring ni...

Thx bro. Pakai CAN system ape benda ntah... Still tersadai Kat SC. Adohai.

I would say it's normal... Other cars also have that, just that the frequency is a lot higher on the Alza, as if the car ran out of breath after a long strenous sprint... sweat.gif sweat.gif

Dear bro... thanks for your advice. Will try that and see if works.. .apparently direct plug in with the ipod cable, shows connected and charging on the ipod but the HU screen just shown "USB" and when i press "Play" button, "Failed" shown.

Good for you to get your iphone working. smile.gif

Does yours comes with the multimedia display, or the standard HU...? Coz mine's standard, and the USB port does not charge my iPhone at all... It's purely for music playback on USB pendrive...

I guess you didn't read previous thread (ain't nobody got time for that). Alza aircon water does drop onto metal (steering rack) and that the sound you heard. Sometimes this water will corrode that metal. Use torch light to see if everything ok down there.

I thought this has been fixed by P2 (got major recall last year/before that) that is why i posted here.

Mine is new car, not even a month. I am not sure got how many point for the water to come out but I saw one (try to snap pic but not enough ligthing to capture that area) but that was not the source of the noise. I think it came from the right side of the engine which you cannot suluh lampu one.
