hi folks,

got a problem with my car. Kelisa 1.0A year 2001.

last weekend, while driving home from Sepang to Klang my speedometer failed (heading Putrajaya) and as soon as the speedometer reaches 0 km/h, the 'check engine' light goes on. I was driving within speedlimit (90 kmh) at the time of incident. Everything else seems fine (temp within reasonable reading) and I kept driving till Klang.

The next morning, woke up and checked my car and there's gearbox oil underneath. Apparently it leaks gearbox oil. It's purple-ish color since its an automatic car. The leak isn't that major though. Just a few drops that accumulated the whole nite.

Now, I'm back in Sepang and haven't drive my car since Sunday evening. The car is resting at home and looks like the leak is getting worse. No more few drops of gearbox oil, but rather a lot more than 10ml.

Question is, what is going on with my car? what is the problem with the gearbox? Does it have anything to do with the speedometer failure? How much do I have to spend to get it fixed?

Thanks guys.

got that fixed like 2 months ago. Can't be the same problem is happening again?
This time, just the gearbox oil leaks. No engine oil leaks. The source of the leak somewhere at the flywheel area I think. Not too sure cause can't really peek underneath the car properly, just a glimpse of red oil wetting the "between engine & gearbox" area.



how do I check if the speed sensor is faulty? How does it look like and where it is located? A picture will help.

car still sitting at home.. no time to send it to shop. besides, tomorrow is holiday. haihs..

brake pad is due. Got any reco for any good pads? browse through mudah.com found Bosch pads NAO goes for RM33. Too good to be true.

has any of you guys have ever used coil spring damper? the one goes for rm8 per piece in mudah.com I'm thinking of having it for the rears. When there are 4 adults, the rear seems to be squat down low. Goes over hump is not a good experience. Should I go for it?

a coil spring damper is made of either rubber or silicon which is applied to the OE spring coil. Dunno how to explain. google it up.


RS pads? will check it out. Thanks.

folks, what kind of ATF do you guys use? Thinking of changing mine. Close to 1 year since the last I change it.

how many liters eh? 3L?

year manufactured?

faxk!

car is leaking. again!

jacked the car (with help from my cousin) with a 2 tonne jack. It seems there are traces of oil around the sump's seals..

I just changed the oil last 2 week! If I were to swap the sump, I have to drain all out dont I? :grunt:

not to mention the car is using fuel beyond normal rate..

I have no idea why it has so happened..


take a look at pictures below..

front part of the sump's bolts




rear part of the sump's bolts



what should I replace? the sump? or just the seals?

now that u mentioned it.. what possible cause of the leakage eh?

deng! ur auto is really good la Azuma. Mine? its a fuel guzzler.. as if Im running turbo underneath..

dude, you changed the whole lot? wow.. just wow..

I had the same problem as yours BUT, got the seals replaced. No sweat. Cost me RM18 for that 3 spark plug seals and another RM50 for labor charge (did oil change too).

I too was quoted for RM300 to get that brand new valve top cover but that mech (that quoted me) told me to go another shop to get it replaced. And so I did. I'm glad he referred me to another shop.

I think that's what my cam cover went through. LOL So, far, no leaks.




Oh hey, my oil leak hasnt been rectified yet. The source is the oil filter. But, is there possiblity of missing o-ring or oil seal at the oil filter placement (dunno what to call it)? I've gone thru 2 engine oil change and the oil still leaks.

27K for 2004 model? sounds good to me. Go for a test drive

guys, worth spending buying adjustables (KYB/HWL) or spend less by using ProRide springs & shocks combo?

get Pro ride sport springs. roughly around less than rm300.

using 14" tyres with 5jj wide, get 175/60 series. I think Yokohama, Kumho and Goodyear has this series. Prices varies to sellers. Search around in Garage Sales.

This setting, konpom no fender rubbing.

broken pipe perhaps?

the pipe above the trailing arm (that connects left and right wheel) tend to broke easily.

sounds about the normal price.

you changed from the muffler to the muffler tip I guess?




maaann.. timing belt is no kid issue. Its a man issue. When its time to change, get it changed. Depends on the brand of the belt itself. From Perodua OEM, the belt should last max 80K kms while Mitsuboshi's lasts around 60K kms.

Ive seen what broken belt will do to your engine. You DONT want to be in that situation. Its gonna cost u ALOT.


Now..now.. my aircond compressor pulley is screaming. Can I just replace the pulley only or should I change the whole compressor??? Any suggestion?

The aircond belt were replaced and only traveled for less than 1000km. Just replaced it two weeks ago.

my kelisa closing in 212k km already.

works/repairs done so far:
replaced driveshaft
replaced flywheel oil seal
replaced speed cable sensor
replaced oil filter adapter oil seal (major culprit of oil leaks)
replaced spark plugs oil seal
replaced timing belts and belting kits twice


I guess thats all the major works done so far besides regular oil changes.

yep, the car is the very first model back in 2001. It was my mom's tho. She wanted it in silver/grey color but, the color wont arrive till next month. But my mom wanted it so badly, so she went with maroon instead. Silver/grey were selling like hot cake back then.
