GreatONE : Yours weak battery, normally the tak tak tak sound comes from thwe starter in the throttle body there....my 92p also same thing, you insert the key and start the electrical stuffs, the tak tak tak will come first

I mean I wont buy "new" wira anymore since this is old design of which Japanese already condemn if I can afford.

buy 2nd hand lo

went for service today, semi synt shell oil, change oil filter & labour RM112.

continue with my 'loud engine' sound case, i asked this apek, so he listen to the sound, ram2 my engine a bit, he said air-cond 'bearing mau tukar'.. so he said have to take out the compressor to take out the bearing, bearing RM25, then have to put in air-cond RM80, then forgot oredi bla bla this and that, all added up RM200 plus, then he said if compressor head oso rosak have to change add RM70.. i was so sad, luckily that time not enuf time he said can come tmr..

so i went back to puchong, stop by this service shop, the fella check the sound, he said only need to change the 'density bearing', no need kacau the compressor bearing, RM25 only, no labour charge!!!! then his macai, an indian guy, his name is 'ganesh', change my bearing and ask me to change the 'belt' oso, then he charge me bearing RM20 (instead of RM25 mentioned by boss earlier!) and RM18 for the belt!! now my mother said engine sound not loud oredi, so no need to worry every morning wake up all the neighbour when i start my engine!

almost 'kena potong' today!!! but then they said my car come out 'white smoke', have to change 'vasui/vasu/visu', donno lar wat oredi, if wan change RM400 plus like dat, but have to leave car one day..

my next question, do you guys know what was meant by them? is there any other way to 'improve' the white smoke (to make it un-white! haha!)...

White bluish smoke mostly mean either a worn out piston ring or valve seal. Might require an overhaul. That should explaim the RM400 plus repair bill.

I'm feeling you man

aiseh, so there's no other 'cheaper' alternative ar? aiya, baru gaji goin to broke oredi!

have to go for overhaul oreli..

As usual, go confirm with mechanic first. We don't know the exact problem yet

btw.. how old is ur car??

wat is the top speed of 1.5GLi (A) ?? can share anyone??

So are you encouraging people to speed?

1996, 10 years!

btw, i've red a few on those oil additives, pros and cons here and there, may i know from those who have used any of the additives before, the brand that u r using and ur comment?

depends on your engine, good condition at least 180km/h can reach
Some can go more than that, rare case loh
