Would like to ask bout tinted glass. Through asking around, i found out that the procedure at puspakom now requires all your tints to be removed regardless of whether it fulfills their specifications.

Can anyone confirm this?
Are there any other ways of bypassing this with a runner??
Buying a second hand car with vcool. Feels kind of waste money to retint it again later.

biscuit:

i think they dont allow any tinted if not mistaken...(i heard from a person at PUSPAKOM)...

I was told that the tint according to JPJ’s regulations – which is a minimum of 50% VLT (visible light transmission) for side and rear windows while you need a minimum of 70% VLT for the front windshield.

The things they will check

1. Identification Check
Verified the engine and chassis number of your vehicle

2. Above Carriage Check
Detailed inspection for defects on the upper body in accordance with the Road Transport Act 1987.

3. Emission Test
Density of particles in diesel engine emissions are gauged through free acceleration tests and volume of gases e.g. HC and CO from petrol engines are gauged through idling tests.

4. Brake Test
Tests for brake service efficiency, dynamic imbalance, run-out, residual force and parking brake are conducted to ensure optimal braking performance.

5. Side-Slip Test
Lateral movement of the vehicle is tested to fulfill optimal road handling criteria.

6. Suspension Test
Check the effectiveness of the suspension system (springs, shock absorbers, joints) on each axle.

7. Speedometer
Check the accuracy of the speedometer against the road speed at the wheels.

8. Headlight Test
Measure the intensity and projection of the vehicle headlights.

9. Undercarriage Check
Thorough inspection of the undercarriage with vehicle being on the Axle Play Detector.

10. Tinted Glass Test
The tinted glass ascertains the Visible Light Transmission of your vehicle

Hmm... wanna ask regarding the bodykit, take an example, if i convert the Myvi Ezi into SE, then when i wanna sell the car and go for inspection, shall i need to convert back to Ezi again without SE bodykit?

From what I understood,

@Puspakom inspections
B5 - RM30 > Seller pays
B7 - RM60 > Seller pays

@JPJ
If the purchase is HP from bank will be RM150 > Should this be paid by Buyer or Seller?

If purchase is Cash, then transfer will be RM100 > Seller or Buyer pays?

actually, u can check for the price on puspakom website.
however, i am not sure what is needed to complete the inspection　(is it just transfer of ownership, or inclusive of others).

i am going to puspakom this friday and going to do B5 and B7.

wanna ask in B7, there is a mileage column, what puspakom going to do with this inspection? Just write down the mileage number or going to do some test?

Bro they said must appointment cannot walk in anymore true or not?

i think its ok as long as the ori looks of the car is still a myvi..

actually if u reli want to keep the tint, got alot of shops this day that rent cermin for you...u go there swap with clear screen, go puspakom/jpj. Approve, come back to the shop, swap mirror back to the ori tinted one..pay rm 100-300 depending on wat type mirror etc. and back on the road...

All tinted car even approve by JPJ is reject by Puspakom? Seriously?

Here's a good tips. I sold my car to a close friend, and I sent my car to Puspakom myself. Yes, they tear on (partially) tint film that doesn't conform to their specs. In my case, only the front windshield. They use a visible-light meter to check.

However, since the tint was EcoTint and they guarantee it conforms JPJ standard, I gave my EcoTint receipt and warranty card to my friend. She went and claim warranty replacement for FREE!

so far I only heard Melaka 1 need to make appointment but they do allow walk in when there is an empty slot.

No need to make appointment, have to get there early in the morning to queue up...

just wondering, would aftermarket steering wheels and gauges (eg. tachometers on the dashboard) comply with the puspakom inspection? :s

hi guys,

just an update, I wennt to petaling jaya puspakom today without an appointment and they rejected to queue up. So now we can go to puspakom only with appointment.

Pls be aware of it. I called the number 0351017000 for making an appointment.

I will go this thursday for the same.. B5 inspection. I will udpate to this forum on my experience.

Cheers

i made an appointment for Shah Alam Glenmarie outlet . end up still need to queue up , but of course only 5 cars... they never ask if i made appointment or not ... B5 also

I have completed the B5 inspection today at Petling jaya. Its a PASS.

But the security had asked me specifically if I had an appointment and he checked with the car NO. May be shah Alam is diff I dont know "Ware Wolf"

Just to be on the safer side book an appoinement. no harm

Cheers. you guys can PM me if you need any information on the inspection.

They were checking :
1. tint (I removed before going). Their instrument is so sensitive I heard, even if youhave a JPJ compliant tint it will fail. So better be aware.
2. brakes
3. head light
4. engine no, casis no
5. All windows (he removed the rubber and chked soemthing. dont know what)
6. Physical inspection around
7. Under car check.

Basically it all took me 15 min only. It was quick and the whole process including waiting in a 4 car queue took me less than 45 min.

All process is neat and I feel no runners are required for this. I dont know Malay and I could still make this.

Cheers guys, all the best

5. All windows (he removed the rubber and checked something. dont know what)
they check for kereta potong ....

Puspakom Glenmarie never check brakes , headlight ....others done ...

Any new updates on Puspakom B5 check ?

It seems that Puspakom website cannot access anymore, anyone aware any new site to read more ?

Thanks
