Got the car weather sheets done for the rear two doors. Pretty cheap at first (RM30) for both doors until the price for the broken clips came (RM5 per piece, and there were 6 pieces). As for the brake fluid changing they only changed the fluid without bleeding the system, and that costed RM10. Still have leftover so I'll probably head to another workshop to see if they offer brake bleeding services.

Dead starter? Dead battery? Transmission safety switch bad?

That issue is normally due to gaps between the weather-sheet and the car's door, allowing water to enter the car through the bottom of the door trim. Get yourself some bitumen strips and re-stick the weather sheet(s) or get it done at some accessory shop.

Have you tried shifting your transmission from P to other positions and back? Had the same issue before but on a Kembara. It seemed totally dead and doing that brought it back to life.

ic.. how much does it cost if done it at accessory shop? how about if i sent to proton service centre? will they charge me?

Well.. I got charged RM30 for both rear doors for mine, so you're probably looking at around RM30 ~ RM50 for all four doors I believe. I'd say just get yourself bitumen strips which comes in the roll form (I'm not sure from where) which would probably be cheaper than sending it to an accessory shop, and you'll also be able to reseal as needed.

If your car is still under warranty, I think the Proton service center shouldn't charge. Otherwise they probably will.

Damn. Been reading again all about the camber bolt / nut thing and I feel quite unhappy now to have accepted it previously. Best part is I conveniently didn't take the original bolts back too. Strangely amidst the numerous info on how the bolts are largely unneeded my abah seems to believe that they are much needed. I worry about the time when his car will need to have the tyres changed.

. DIY seriously. Easy and cheap. And remember to only use bitumen strips. Probably gonna have to find some time off to buy awning caulk remover if I want to get the doors clean again... Note to self to never listen to anymore rather crude suggestions.

. Each clips costed me RM5. 6 Clips in total . All broke caused they were stuck due to the awning caulk. . Best part is when I ask the person who suggested me to use it on how to remove it he told me to slowly pick it off with newspaper

Told the guy to replace them, didn't get them myself. Probably one of the reasons why they were RM5 each when they're so simple in design.

Anyway, I asked about brake bleeding at another workshop that I have been to a few times before and one of the guy there quoted RM20 ~ RM30 for the job, and recommended about 2L of brake fluid. Looks like if I agree to do it I'll be wasting the brake fluid that has already been poured into the brake fluid container, though it's only about 350ML or so I believe.

Don't nego until they give cincai workmanship sudah.

Tomorrow the doors become cyan .

Oh... and.. If the doors have two thin and rectangular shaped soundproofing included by default, be sure to ask for them. Mine left rear door ketuk and respray before and soundproof material don't know go where. The rest of the doors still have two each.

Yah. Or check with other owners of the same car.

Close can hear already. Knock also can.

Edit: And open

Living up to the name with those yellow fog lights . Bila respray R3 rim to yellow?

I thought it's supposed to be bitumen strips only? What black color glue are you talking about?

If I remember correctly it's screwed on, though it should be pretty accessible since the area behind the rear bumper is pretty empty. For the front foglamp you probably can access the foglamp area but only after jacking the car up.

Forum account also lemon. kesian.

Anyone facing some pedal clunking sound over sudden bumps? It happens mostly if the road is smooth and some random bump appears causing the car to jump. If I slide my foot off the brake pedal I seem to be able to replicate the exact same sound, which may mean that the brake pedal is loose. But is that possible? Or maybe it's some other bearing / bushing / joints in the front section of the car that needs replacing.

Changing oil + oil filter + air filter is normally a RM10 ~ RM20 job, and yes, tyre shops do offer oil changing services. So far the two shops I have serviced at are both tyre shops . Around 20K Km if you're driving an auto you should have already replaced the ATF, if not do it. The brake fluid and power steering fluid should also be changed by 20K KM I believe.

Uh... One thing to note about the power steering fluid is that SP3 isn't that similar to Dexron fluids. Dexron III should not be that expensive anyway, and one litre should be enough for flushing and topping up based on my experience. I used Toyota ATF-IV though for the power steering since it's apparently similar to Dexron III + more additives.

Ah, and yeah I forgot about coolant. Recommended to change every 20,000KM or 2 years unless you buy long life coolant.
