Hahaha! I'll let you in on a little secret. If you get a reply here, you have to act fast. The reason is because when someone Google searches something locally, the first result is almost always LYN.

Check the oil pan, it sometimes warps out of shape causing a leak.

What do you mean by losing power? From my experience, this car is generally underpowered when it comes to going up inclines, even small ones.

Yeah, need to ask how much and how long.
need to keep some $ to do full overhaul.

Does your car do one of the following?
1. Sound like cooking clams in a wok.
2. Emit white smoke from the exhaust.
3. Constantly "eat" up the engine oil.

If it's one of these 3, an overhaul is required, otherwise it probably isn't. As for where to get an overhaul done, Perodua is expensive, but you'll get a 6 month warranty on parts replaced (which means a lot if you need to replace your engine block should it be cracked).

Age of the car is not an issue. Mine is already 7 years yet i am still using it. =D

You may get it from official distributors like KakiMotor and etc but their price is a little bit more. You may look around in this forum for better deals as there are some sellers selling genuine K&N filter.

By the way guys, my car broke down this morning on the way to work. Was driving normally and then suddenly my engine like lost power. Keep revving but the engine wasnt smooth and idle speed was quite low. Not sure what is the problem but has any of you encountered this issue before?
*
Have you experienced any jerking prior to this incident?

Nope bro, just out of sudden it jerks like this. If you wanna know any incident happened prior to this jerking, i was testing my car top speed on saturday night on NKVE highway. Clocked 170 km/h all the way from Kepong to Klang and Klang to Kepong. Not sure whether this is the main culprit for my engine behaviour now.

Well, it isnt too old to train for muscles. maybe it could be my spark plugs which has not been changed for the last 20k KM. Considering to change the plugs to NGK G-Power. Any comments on this spark plug?
*
Lifespan for platinum plugs are generally lower than iridium ones. I think you'd be better off looking for a good deal on iridium ones first, and settling on the ngks only if you find the other ones overpriced.

Been using iridium for the pass 50k km. Never open up to check. Feels ok, runs ok. So just let it be first. Hahahaha.

Iridium plugs are supposed to last twice the lifespan of platinum ones. Some users complain about cold starts after switching to iridium plugs, have you experienced this?

It is in fact true that not all fuel is the same. I've tested using bhp & the results are amazing. Very much better fc compared to shell which  I have been using all this while.
I am wondering whether using bhp engine oil will further reduce my fc. Just wanna know whether there is any correlation between using the same engine oil & petroleum brand and vice versa?
Its almost time for my next oil change. Any recommendation this time?

Tried Caltex? I gave their Techron concentrate a try. Pour 1 bottle in and fill up a full tank of gas. Seems to be a lot less sluggish. Makes me wonder what the effects would be if I used their fuel consistently.


P.S. I currently use Petronas.

Thanks.

Yesterday i have called to P2SC
they quote me the price as below

front windscreen - RM550+-
Engine Mounting - RM1200+- (promotion -10%)
Front absorber - RM360+-  (promotion -10%)
Back absorber - RM210+-  (promotion -10%)

Total if repair/exchange with labour fee = RM2400+-  doh.gif  rclxub.gif

any advise from PRO here ?
*
I'm not sure about the windshield, but you should get the mounting done at P2 - the 6-month warranty makes life a lot easier. If you have any other engine work to be done, I suggest you get that done at the same time because replacing the mountings already incurs maximum labor cost.

As for the absorbers, you can get them outside if you want to. Most shops have the standard KYB ones in stock.

P.S. This is what I did for my car - cost me about 1k+ at P2, and another 1k+ at the tire shop to replace the absorbers+springs+brake discs+front lower arm.

rocker cover also known as valve cover..basically the top cover of your engine..i think common problem with kelisa and kenari that the cover seal around the spark plug is leaking..so the engine oil will enter the spark plug area..the solution is to change the whole cover..
*
I kena this before. Can't recall exactly how much it cost because I repaired my air-cond at the same time.

it depends on how many participants are there coming. if the headcount is too low, we may need to postpone it to another weekend again. T.T!
