all the savings to repair or change the aircond compressor.
compressor works similar to engine. not moving for a period of time, oil total drain onto bottom. sudden rotate at high rpm, piston will have much more damaging.

The compressor is also turned on and off repeatedly at possibly high RPM when we drive, regulating the temperature we choose on knob.

The compressor oil is like a closed and sealed system, there's no sump for it to drain down. Neither that I know that aircon compressors have piston. Please enlighten.

Thread so slow lately

Pasang turbo then ready to get sapu by all those turbocharged monsters

Compressors do have piston yo. Mini pistons like manlet's...

hoi hoi

im watchin YUUU

Yeah, I'm aware that once I BOT, I only syok sendiri on the road with blow off valve sounds. Once I enter the track, I might rank far worse than stock NA engine. Lol

VRROOOOOOM piu piu piu piu

VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM woshhhhhhhhh

Wow, that's cute.

Although I don't think turning off the air conditioning most of the time will cause additional harm to it. Retrieving the couple of HP from air conditioning makes the car so much lively and smooth to drive.

:3

Last time at track I saw in the open category normally for turbo got rx7,8 Porsche etc etc then 1 lonely myvi.

damn miniature steel scissors lodge itself right into my right rear stock tyre when I was on the way to work just now. Direct puncture! Went to the shop to do some patching. I wonder whether it will last or it will slowly leak out air day by day?

If not kena sidewall then patching still ok...of cz air will leak la but not like leak a lot la...minor minor leak.jz check tyre pressure once per week or per 2 week...

How big is d patch btw?

For those that changed their battery to DIN 55. Can they fit into our existing battery seating? Any issue?

I think mengsuan changed to that. I might be wrong though.

Very suay lar......I dont have a smartphone(cuz spoilt last few weeks) to snap photo of the wheel. The mech didnt mention how big, but asked me how the entry looks like......

Yes, I changed to DIN55 recently. It's the best fitting upsized battery, fits on the original bracket. However the battery shop I went quickly changed the nut that locks down the bracket to a thinner thread to fit, I think the original might fit if he spends a bit more time aligning it right.

Thanks everyone for replying.

Ordered a Panalite DIN55 battery yesterday coz my mech's does not have DIN45 batteries of the few brands he carried. Loved Panalite batteries that seems to be quite lasting on my Cities. At the minimum of 2 years to 3 years usually.

Just serviced 41K major service yesterday. Got my iridium plugs in. The SC USED SP3 for ATF (they used to be using the newer XP3), their supplier supplied the SC with SP3 this time when they ordered atf. If only I've known, I would have bought it elsewhere but the BIG PETRONAS station next door pun takda ATF for proton.

I also asked to eliminate the quek quek steering cover sound beside the robotic swirling sound that THE clock spring warranty item are supposed to solved at my final warranty change.

Turned out changing clock spring DOES not solved the problem. The Proton tech misdiagnosed it earlier coz even with clock spring taken out, the robotic whirling sound still there when steering is turn. Tech mentioned have to pumped grease into the steering shaft. A quick check with my usual mechanic suggest that it might be steering pump or something, usually nothing to worry abt but laughed at suggestion of grease pumped in coz only lorries need that, never heard of car doing that.

The quek quek sound finally solved as the proton mech remove the cover and reinstall quite a number of time until the quek disappear, quiet and very happy with it.

.......then later in the evening, rattling appear in the steering cover. This is worse coz rattling appear with any heavier engine idle or harsher road vibration while the earlier solved quek noise at least only appear when steering is turn....

So temporary forced tucked a piece of visible paper in between the steering cover to minimize rattling occurring. Feel like banging my head on the steering......malas want to go back again to refix the cover. Maybe when I go back at 60K mileage for semi major service.

On other note, I going to service my air-cond for first time (at 41K mileage) and called my usual car air-cond guy.

He mentioned servicing air cond needs to removed parts of dashboard....I tot removing the glove compartment inside the car is sufficient, have to tear out other dashboard parts meh?

Where do you service your car? It sounds like they have time to slowly fiddle with the car.

Cavino? He either go Klang there or COSE.
