Guys, any recommendation on the car grooming accessories that I can use to clean up the grease and stain in the car engine part ? .. since the mechanics don't really recommend me to go for engine wash.

Last to 2days I go to work like I usually do. But when I want to go back suddenly my steering become a bit heavy. I realise that it is difficult to turn to left compare to right. After that I go to pump station to isi angin all the tires. But the the problem still occur. I wonder what happen How to explain this.. Usually after turn into junction I will let my steering go straight by itself.. But now my steering become difficult to do so.. I mean after u pusing2 steering, you will let your steering to pusing2 sndri until it become straight.. This post has been edited by V12Kompressor: Jun 16 2012, 12:02 PM |

Steering not turning back, could be worn off steering bush. I know you'll say your car only 1 month old, but its all depend on luck & also driving style + road condition. Please send back for warranty, if no warranty, pls send to Kemuning Utama Teoh Brothers Toyo Tyre, look for 4eyed uncle say recommended by YauYip. 2 pieces of silicone steering bush RM80! Precise cornering, extreme in response! Haily recommended! Am a satisfied + happy customer, and 100% not affiliated.

QUOTE(lhwj @ Jun 16 2012, 02:44 PM) Actually it seems like a 6 point bar, because there are two points on the strut tower and one point on the fender for each side If like that is 6-point, then UR also 4-point dy Hope the brake fluid reservoir cap doesn't get in the way though I can't wait I was wondering how it would fixed on the firewall, so I went to check my engine bay last nite and googled more pictures. Then only I realize it is fixed on the fender instead, so it makes more sense now |

Carb cars can wash, EFI...better not. Too many electronic parts. Bust a O2 sensor and you putih putih pay a few hundred bucks to diagnose and fix it.
Personally, I Just wipe it with car shampoo. Takes longer and more work, but no worries I cant start my car later. |

I tink my car facing the IAFM tak tak sound during coldstart. what i wanna noe is if its not fixed, will it cause major damage? what are the effects of it? more severe throttle lag?
how much is the replacement at SC? cos i never service my car at SC after 10k.. guess my warranty is void. |
