No can do. Weekdays are preferable as I work in KL. I usually travel to either Seremban/JB over the weekends. It's not often that I stay in KL on the weekend. sweat.gif

Dear Sifu,

I find it difficult sometimes to engage 1st and 2nd gear in my car nowadays. i gotta push quite hard in order to get 1st and 2nd gear during driving and this may get on my nerves at times. any idea on how to make the gear change effort more easier and smoother? mine is manual btw.

Sounds like it's the clutch plate not disengaging properly.

tommi88 do me a favor and tag me here on the 16th. Takut I forget. doh.gif

Edit: What are the downsides of not using an air intake hose? I broke mine quite a while back and I've not bothered to have it replaced.

Hi Guys.

New Kenari Owner here.

I already book for used Kenari (Auto) year 2003. Next week I will received my car. Plan to use as 2nd car.

For me the condition is good, engine no vibrate and smooth. But not sure if my kenari have other problems.

May I know how much for major service cost? (Timing Belt, V Belt, Engine Oil and Auto Gear Oil, Brake Fluid, Spark Plug)

Which workshop is best for Kenari? I stay around Shah Alam.

Thanks Guys

Mind sharing how much you paid for your car? Just wanna get a rough idea what the current market price is.

Service cost is generally low if you do it outside of an official workshop. I'll have to check my receipts before I can tell you the exact prices, but I don't recall paying anything more than RM300 unless I replaced a big item.

Thanks bro

I bought it for RM 12K ++. Current market price around 11k-14k for 2003 EZ model. I surveyed mostly kenari below 10k have a lot problems.(normally aircond & power window)

I'm very surprise to see the interior and the engine so smooth. But still cross finger.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

Need to change front tyres after I received my car. Wish me luck  thumbup.gif

Wa, still got some dealers selling for 14k eh?

Touch wood everything's okay la, but just in case budget a bit extra for repairs; always advisable for 2nd hand cars.

just drove my mum's kenari, yr 2002 recently when she came to KL for holiday. it is a stock car.

i found the engine is sluggish and very high FC compare to my fren's kenari 2005. it is using single wired O2 sensor compare 2005 dual wired O2 sensor;

i have done the following this month;
1. replaced all engine mounting original from P2
2. throttle body cleaning by P2
3. using M1 5w-30 full syn oil as usual
4. 4pcs 14" new tyre
5. 4pcs absorber changed
6. full grounding installed
7. ATF flush and changed
8. stock air filter also replace. usually i replace it at 10k per OCI.

high FC, RM50 (current price), i manage to clock 180km max before refill and the engine is sluggish. my fren kenari which i drove last month for 1 week, have better response and FC is not bad. at least my same driving style and route is same. RM50 i can easily get 250KM.

thus, now im considering to change the petrol pump but i notice not many kenari owner change it. any advice for me?
*
That's a lot of work done. Maybe try cleaning out the engine before replacing the petrol pump? I did 1 treatment of Techron and it worked quite well for me.

thanks bro. yeah i also have done it since last month as following which i forget to include;

1. fuel system cleaning 3 bottle by prestone which i bought from ace hardware
2. techron done but seems no improvement - 2 full tanks
3. now testing shell 97 v power, 3rd tanks also seems no improvement but im getting slight better response only but engine still sluggish as it seems reluctant to rev.
*
Weird. hmm.gif
I can only suggest that you check your spark plugs before replacing the fuel pump. After all, you don't want to have to replace one part only to find out later on that there was nothing wrong with it to begin with.

Superficial scars. That color is nice though, I didn't know it's stock. Also, jasearn has finally convinced me that full bucket seats are not for the weak!

dont need to be malu vinod. when you know what you want and with the right parts, you can look good as well in your own taste. just get rid of the front and rear bull bars. like you have said, it may shed 20kg away from the overall car weight which is good!  flex.gif  flex.gif  flex.gif

I'm getting the bars removed next week, but I doubt it weighs that much lol.

I discussed additional work for the car with my waifu (mainly painting the car), she's not pleased. sad.gif

Last Sunday I checked with the mechanic they said sound from front absorber. Need to replace front absorber. Driveshaft is good and new. (maybe first owner has replaced it)

I use Falken 326. 3 days already I received my car now I already drove more than 280km.. thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

Sometimes it's not the whole absorber that's damaged, just the mounting. Do confirm before replacing. I once had a case where the hot oil from the engine leaked onto the absorber mounting, causing the plastic to melt. The result was a strong creaking noise, which I suspect is similar to what you're hearing.

You know that part when the engine oil seeps up to where the spark plugs are? Apparently it can splash around. sweat.gif

Ever since we formed our WhatsApp group this place has been a lot more quiet. I think it's time we moved our discussions back here.
