Insatlling cabin air filter ...

I have a QUESTION - is the air filter inserted the WRONG way? it is the ONLY way to push in because the 2 nut holes need to be aligned. OR, do i need to invert the WHITE filter inside the bracket ? WHICH WAY for the WHITE filter to go in (i have seen some google images that the front side of the bracket should go in upwards, and not like mine here where the backside went in upwards) ? Please advise me. Thanks

Labour rm621 and Brake tested OK rm160?
Its ROBERI !

bro,
y did u change the mounting?
how is it after changing? vibration... noise...??
pls let us know.
tq

oh, that is very good! worth the $$ la.

1) how about when idling - free gear and gear engaged. feel any vibration, especially when there is D gear and you apply the brake?

2) can hear any 'humming' sound (like omm, omm, omm) from the engine bay while idling and driving?

3) steering wheel - how is the vibration now?

thinking of changing the mount too.

thanks again.

tat sounds really worth it.
from your bill, other than engine mounting what else they (or you) have changed or replaced?
i think we can change the mounting outside n can be cheaper ??

bo megat.
my car interior used to have a 'paint' smell, quite strong. now no more already.
the filter is cheap, very worth the mod. seller is here at lyn - JEENT - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2346941&hl=

actually its very easy to install. NO NEED to take off the glove box !!! u just kneel below the glove box, then can see the sealed box. but need a sharp knife to cut open only.
make sure buy the filter WITH BRACKET cos first time instal need the bracket.

can do all same time ma. my aircon actually is cold, can pakai even in afternoon, as after travelling for fwe minutes the air is QUITE cold (not as cool as proton) and comfortable.

we all shd add in this filter.

bro. is it semi-syn? sounds good that your s can run to 160!!!

sounds good. be happy it can go that fast!

btw, anyone knkws how and where to adjust the headlight ( high / low)? i need to lower the hedlight as they shoot into front cars and drivers !!

Bro Megat,

do you know how much to change the engine mounting? i hope to reduce the vibration a bit altho mine is quite ok at the moment.

bro. cant see your link to the kelisa mounting.
btw, hiw us the handling after changing them? any clear feel of improvement at all?
did u change the lower arms too?
thanks

it sounds great bro. mine only rattles abit during idling.

i also changed my absorber and spring and spring mount at the top. of course it improves the handling more.

for your planned cabin filter change, you may need to do it yourself as there is no default place to fix it. . my DIY is here: -

changed all the suspension system at once to save my complaints ...

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2862488/+160
for results, pls read my comments in the same page.

it is NOT necessary to change springs and absorbers together, my foreman said. but if the absorber leaks, or the spring has little 'play' (up-down movement space) then better change if you are the fuzzy type like me. lol.
proride is ok for normal use, i think.

My engine oil leaking. Just changed the gasket n found the 3 plugs filled with oil. Cleaned up the parts, and also changed the top cover. Very greasy and engine oil was everywhere inside the plug holes.
Will post the pics soon.

Feedback:
Now it seems the engine has less vibration amd feels more stable when.accelerating.

My fren workshop ordered and fix for me. Included the rubber gasket. I made sure its not taiwan cover so i waited at the shop until delivery and fixing. Actually inside the engine, all the 3 plug holes were leaking and.filled.with engine oil. I also helped to korek out the oil. Then i spent 1 hr to use my own engine oil degreaser to tembak at every oil stains around and under the engine also i went under the car to spray then clean. Then use soap to hard clean all oily areas.
Hahaha, no more oil stains in my house.
Strangely, i got aroumd 10km per rm30 petrol buy still need to test again.
Will post the new engine soon. Hu huh

I thot the engine gasket comes with the cover?
Y change the air filter.box? Koyak ady?
Ya. I did my carb n butterfly valve cleaning last time. Immediately can feel the air right!!!
Pls post photos of your air filter box and piping? (wat piping wor)

Ps: for kelisa lovers i strongly.advise you to use engine degreaser to clean the bay and the car bottom. Around rm12 but need one hr of crawling around the bay.
It feels clean. Really

Replacement and degreasing of engine cover and bay ...
When done. Try to go nder the car, and also degrease and tembak the bottom of the bay. After degreasing, use a brush and brush the bottom with soap thenclean up.

I rember my old ford had kabaya rear too. Reliable but feel soft abit..comfortable town ride.
My kelisa changed both the spring n suspension front n back. Prices r quoted in earlier thread.
Pls read that thread as the front was good and NO DIVING at all during braking...its a longer spring !!!
