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. unsure.gif

Hi morning everyone.

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 sad.gif

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..

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.

Added on June 16, 2012, 1:39 pmAnyway, some updates to the strut bars...

Mahihi will be taking us to the factory for installation from the USJ Esso petrol station, instead of us DIY or him installing for us. Installation is already included in the price.

Also, here's a more more complete picture of the front strut bar

As you see, the additional 2-points are fixed to the fenders, not the firewall. I couldn't find any FSB for BLM Saga that are tied to the firewall, so I guess it is still a step up from a 2-point FSB (and still cheaper than UR icon_idea.gif icon_idea.gif ).

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 icon_idea.gif

Hope the brake fluid reservoir cap doesn't get in the way though hmm.gif

I can't wait rclxm9.gif

If like that is 6-point, then UR also 4-point dy laugh.gif

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 blush.gif

my dad had done it once thn won't try again
he ask someone to wash it(that time no knowledge) thn after that can't start already...few attempts only can start
thn never tried again
thn after that know that to wash the engine, its a specified knowledge...cannot just blast water into it
my saga's engine bay also dirty, even the mechanic at the workshop also said that but he also agree that its better to be dirty thn faulty

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.
