QUOTE(NOX @ May 4 2012, 11:46 AM) u need to testdrive first.. best if u can get a mechanic to check the engine condition.. wow, nice info. can detect defect just by looking at the pics. thanx ya..from looks.. coolant seem not change @ dirty tank.. seat kotor + water damage already.. might need to repair sponge.. buying a 2nd hand car, u must bear in mind.. u need to put aside at least 2k.. in your case 3k cause another 10-15k need to change timing belt = rm600 roughly.. see tires also, need change or not.. *oh ya, better spare another 500 for spindle change.. if this car did not yet change it spindle.. worse case, your tire can fly away.. proton did recall for spindle change for car before 2006.. so roughly needs around 3k to change all the things u mentioned. all this repair can be done outside or bring to proton service center? btw, how u see the seat dirty & what is water damage?

hello savvyians, got a question regarding my savvy.
- 1 weekend drive 100km/h, left tyre hit a big pothole. soon after steering -start gegar2 & steering lean more toward to left. - send for alignment but still the steering lean towards to the left. - go proton sc, ask me to change all abs, stabilizer link. - do some research, steering bush can be the culprit also? - whenever drive >100km/h on straight road,the steering will become so loose. - driving <20km/h got steel like sound from front tyre. can any pro here recommend diagnosis? |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Feb 2 2013, 03:41 PM) Lidat very hard to troubleshoot wor wah, very the detail. thanx bro, didnt realize it was mr david coz changed avatar already Gegar could be tayar bengkak and or rim bengkok, and or both simultaneously. Lean to left, small matter means toe lari boley kasi ajes balek. Medium matter ball joint rod sudah bengkok kena mau tukak. Big problem, lower arm sudah bengkok. James Bond tomolo never dai, because now my wallet oledi dai matter, tayar bengkak + rim bengkok + ball joint bengkok + lower arm bengkok Esoba bengkok? Or Esoba bengkok + James Bond Tomolo Never Dai pakej Stabilizer link boleh straighten balek, takyah tukak. Si Plotong mau kasi potong sama lu Steering bush rosak, after turn konar steering will not auto korek. Unless that lobang so big, when you impact that time whole piece steering bush fly off that's another story Then could be steering rod. Check your powah steering pump ada leaking ke talak oso. Takut nanti terjangkit-jangkit Disc brake cover sudah bengkok, scratching your disc rotor while the car moving. Open tayar, check for disc cover clearance, if sudah lekat, use screw driber kasi kiaw ![]() The above all are possibilities. That's why I say too much to answer you. If you based on all this, you'll have to change everything on the car, probably will cost you a bomb. Might as well go buy another car esoba meaning absorber?coz all 4 absorber already leaking, need to save up to buy proride standard absorber. both front & rear can use blm? the ball joint is 1st time i heard bout. stabilizer link straight back at kedai tayar can? power steering oil still full, so i guess not affected la. ok, will try to check disc brake cover later. thank you mr david |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Feb 4 2013, 09:38 AM) Esoba wa pakei GAS, murah lagi mantap! The only drawback is, when going through podhole, the car will JUMP instead of dive through. its a gib & take situation la. Wither oil for comfort, or gas for handling. stabilizer link asked potong, around rm 130-140 like that but service charge expensive as hell. even changing the steering bush same price with the parts Stabilizer link can't be straighten at tayar shop, need to send foundry to hydraulic jack it out. This particular sparepart NOT common with BLM, so dun pandai2 order BLM, nanti tak boley masok. BLM mia stabilizer vei chip, shd below 150. But if Sawi...... Ball joint, commonly known as DRUMSTICK, or Cantonese call it "锣鼓柄", not an expansive item. Its like human carve bone link between your arm & your rib rack. It used to connect your power steering rack with your wheels. will check on the ball joint too. my mounting also in need to be replace soon coz already koyak |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Feb 4 2013, 10:55 AM) aeppy silicone bush can buy outside garage/ sparepart shop?Lidat dun worry too much liao, faster change new stabilizer link then since its oni 130-140. Reason for expansib service caj bcoz need to dismantle almost everything to replace the stabilizer bar As for steering bush, this time go look for silicone bush la. Tahan lasak, lagi feel like racing car Esoba can buy from outside sparepartshop. Front I not sure share with BLM, but back are the same. I use GAP gas abs. Harga 80/side if not mistaken, labor included. Good luck & have a safe wallet. Normally fixing Sawi means wallet kena raped ya2, one more thing. my fren savvy b4 changed stabilizer link together with tie rod. necessary or not to change the tie rod? |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Feb 23 2013, 02:24 PM) Shawie akon kondenser located infront of radiator, so regardless lar. It will cool down the radiator no doubt, but the side effect is having a very fast cooling effect akon. When kondenser faster cool, kompreser no nid work so hard. Kompressor no work so hard means FC no nid i need a/c la. btw, how much u mod the fan? |

QUOTE(davidke20 @ Jul 17 2013, 11:30 PM) Clutch cover. But from what I sourced, sparepart shop does not sell the cover alone, so you may consider to change the whole set of clutch. Be ready to cost a bomb. Gear oil stick to Renault ELF. Whatever rubbish people advertise, don't givafuk. Engine oil lain cerita. Sendiri decide depends on your butt dyno. Ayam on OSK mineral 10w30 The clucth plate is it?elf kinda expensive here in kuching.thats y asking for cheaper but reliable options..tq david.. |
