Hye guys.just got my 2nd Hand neo cps a/t last Monday. Im the 2nd owner Year 2009, mileage Around 52k. the car Is fine until yesteday when the tak tak sound (single tak only) happened. (the sound come from the front part.)
1st scenario - It happened when i change from n to d. 2nd -when driving, i let go the pedal (lepas minyak) and then tekan Minyak. It Sounded when i tekan minyak.
3rd - when i brake. Short - Medium hard braking..this one, i did it just now. Just to test if there is other way i can produce the sound. Unluckily it happened too

I also try open up the bonet to find where the sound come from. Ask my friend to Change from n-d (handbrake pulled). The engine will move a bit (mcm nk rotate) because of the torque. The sound happen when this engine is moving.

What puzzle me is why the sound also come out when i brake.is it Two different problem?.the Sound is quite similar.single 'tak' sound only.

Anyone encounter this problem? Just to gather some knowledge/info b4 sent it to repair. and of cos to avoid kena tipu..huhu..thanks

Thanks for the Info. I think that might be it. i dont think Its the drive shaft cause no continous sound when i make u turn. I think the Sound come from rear mounting (between Engine and firewall) is this problem need to be repaired asap? Or just minor thing?

Bro, u got the same problem too?

hi guys im drivng A/T. lately, my car seems really hard to upshift during early drive (first 10 minutes or so). 2500rpm then baru nak shift/masuk gear. is it normal? or is this some kind of symptom?huhu.. fyi, i do warm up my engine before driving. i park my car at a gentle uphill terrain. so usually, it will goes uphill early in the drive. i just dont like it to rev above 2k, especially after cold start..

haha..i think it is too..must be the ecu stuff and all..im a light footer..so i like to keep it below 2k rpm in slow speed..hehe

lol. i nver reach 6500..too intimidating..need to find a good highway to test power..hehe..the cps kicks in at 4500 rite? mine usually happen at 3rd gear. then it shift to 4th gear rpm goes back to around 4. then cps close back?

huhu..sory la too many noob question..haha..this is my first car and it is 2nd hand..if buy new just sent to SC. no need to headache ..so much i dont know about car ..last time i change oil engine to liquimoly mos2 but didnt flush the old oil..is it ok?

from what i understand, the term flush is adding something to ur old oil and then let it mix for certain time before removing that oil. then u put the new oil in. i didnt flush becoz im not sure if it really necessary or not (this case implies only for engine oil change from brand A to brand B).from what i read, engine oil doesnt really need to flush if changing brand.

For ATF maybe it is different case. any thoughts sifus?

yeah i read about it..lucky i didnt do. how about the ATF? same theory implied?

thanks.i will check later after work.. can i know where is the thermostat located?

already open the hose. but how to take out the termostat? can i force pull it using a plier?

before this i install aux cable and that panel need to be taken out. the installer just use a screw driver covered with cloth to cungkil it out. search you tube -> how to get to the back of neo's headunit

It was indeed the thermostat problem.buy the part for rm45 and change it by myself.quite a hard task to take the old thermostat out cause I dont hav the right tool. I got the feeling that this thermostat failure can happen at any time, so be prepared..

Mileage only ard 56k when it happen. The car ok already. One day after repair, drive to k. terengganu from kl..
