Hi all..
anyone have the experience on changing the steering bush..how much the charges and what it is for...suddenly a mechanic just ask me to change it. Dunno to trust him or not.
My ride is Wira 1.3 Gli AB.

how to know if the car is using MMC ECU or SIEMEN ECU?? wat is the ECU tht is using for the 2000 1.5GLi (A)?? thx..

year 2000 still using MMC
2001 onwards all Siemens VDO

u need two ppl to do this. open the bonnet, get someone to turn the setteing wheel continously left and right while you look at the steering rack. if the rack itself is moving left & right, it's time to change the steering rack bush.

now, u might ask why change. the bush is the one between the steering rack and the rack mounting point. if the rack moves, u will also notice that after u make a turn, the steering wheel will not go back to dead centre when the car has completed the turn and moving in a straight direction. most ppl do not notice this till they go for alignment and the mechanic tests the car.

u have three choices of bushes to use. standard rubber bush, pu bushes that will last a lot longer than the standard ones, and lastly, george bush:-P

hope this helps.

Changing to Mitsu dash, yes. along with the aircond too. ANy reliable recommended place to do ? How about the estimated charge?

anyone wanna clean MMC throttle body for me?? offer me ur price.. haha..

when u buy it, u din ask recommand workshop from them?

y u dun try DIY ler... learn it mah.. hehe...

Actually they did offer installation, I'm just asking for second opinion. They quote RM230 for installation (meter wiring, digital aircond, dashboard). Is that reasonable?

By the way, I've been wondering what is this:


The pipe that connects between the exhaust part and the air intake part. I'm always confused about what is this. I asked a few servicemen and they say "it's nothing". Can anyone help me explain what is that part?

Edit : oh, that's a 1.3M carb wira engine that is due to be cleaned. I'm always postponing the cleaning x.x

the charge involve in wiring will not cheap d. i think will be reasonable. about tat thing i got no idea. it only will hv on carb engine.

guys, my mech said i have to change my 'valve seal' since whenever my engine being ram white smoke come out. they quoted me RM400 plus to do this.

Anyone here had this experience before? recommend any places? perhaps cheaper?
