My mechanic says with ABS it is like that, normally use for 2 days it will disappear. What is pulsing pressure?

They are going to release the new iCar soon.

How to remove the rear view mirror? Need to replace it

For no reason, today it just broke

Useless chamber screw.. don't let them fool you. Don't change it unless it is free. Compare this with the original, not much difference.

Gong xi fatt chai everyone.

Yesterday, my wife put the baby in the car, then reverse to go out. But suddenly hit something and she came down to have a look. It was only a water bottle. So she try to go back into the car but to her surprise, the all 5 doors were locked, with the baby still inside. We are using original alarm / security system. No mod, no change. So you guys better watch out and be careful. P2 stuff cannot be trusted.

The baby strapped on his chair, he'll need to be superman's baby to unlock his belt.
We try to simulate the incident again but couldn't get it again, because the door should only lock if someone intentionally locks it, or step on the break pedal. Otherwise it should never to have lock the doors on it's own. Luckily she is just outside the house ... imagine if this happens far away from the house.

Don't let them cheat you into changing chamber screw.

Chamber screw is something like a scam that mechanics will tell you that you need to change the original P2 screw to their so called chamber screw. I personally do not agree after discussing with mechanics and after looking at the screw itself. I called and talked to a Sg Choh P2 HQ mechanic before, they advice no need to do it as there is no benefit from doing it. I did put some chamber screw pictures up a few post back, didn't I?

Want to share a bit on the disc brakes.
I went to change the ori brake pads to something less dusty. But after using for a few weeks, it started to have noise when hitting the brakes. Took it back to mechanics and we saw the disc brake is now not even. So obviously the solution is to skim the surface. He took the disc out from the car, skim it with a rotating machine. Put them back, now it has klok klok klok noise when I hit the brakes.

He said this is normal, all ABS cars will have this for first 2 days. This is unacceptable, but let's try. After 2 days, still have the noise. I took them back and we look at the disc again, uneven once more. So now we use on-wheel skimming. This, in my personal view, is the best way and most effective way. And after doing it, put the brake pads on, indeed no more noise at all each time I use the brakes. No matter how hard I step on it, extremely quiet. So if u get charge for disc surface skimming, make sure you choose on-wheel skimming and not dismantle the disc and skim on a machine, unless they have a extremely good machine I guess.

PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of International Trade and Industry will announce a cut in car duties from Japan and Australia on Thursday.

Its minister, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said on Wednesday the reduction would be over three years for car models originating from the two countries.

Speaking at the investKL media briefing, he said more details would be released on Thursday.

Additional info:

Its minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said the cuts in these duties would happen “over the next three to four years”.

“As you know, there are three types of duties on cars: the import duty, the excise duty and the sales tax - these are the taxes we have.

“Cars which come from Asean are imported duty-free (such as) the cars coming from Thailand now have zero import duty,” Mustapa told reporters at the InvestKL press briefing yesterday.

“We have two trade agreements which are going to materialise in the next three to four years - Australia and Japan. Import duties (including cars and other items) coming from these countries will be zero come 2016. We will definitely prepare our local automotive industry to face this landscape and the expected increase in competition intensity,” he said.

mine is going into workshop because of petrol fumes in cabin.

I spoke to SC, but they don't do warranty claim on saturday, so have to visit them again on a normal day. damn... no free time to do unless wait until school holiday.

But the SC told me it is basically because during production, the glue at the hose to the tank not yet dry completely and they continue on with the rest of the production. So when you fill full tank, then some / little bit of the petrol can back flow and go into cabin.

Indeed, today I didn't fill full tank, so the petrol doesn't touches the hose connecting the tank, and therefore no more fumes inside cabin.

This is what sort of workmanship? Did I took hefty loan to pay someone to ensure the glue didn't dry?

There are different types of glue or adhesive. Don't just think glue does not go well with petrol. The term glue here is only a general word to indicate they use adhesive to stick two parts together.

I have a friend who is the Regional Manager for a US company, and they use all types of methods and materials (including glue) to help seal leaking petroleum pipelines throughout SEA.

kalvinwee, how old is your car?

Well, time to go SC to get the petrol fume fixed.

Go to SC. You can't buy something off shelves and fix it.
