My car suddenly produce 'kuluk kuluk' sound, i suspect is from rear wheel brake area, but i unable to trace where it comes from. When wheel rotate slowly only can hear, when rotate fast the frequency to high to notice any sound.

Anyone can help me on the potential problem before I bring to workshop to rectify?

Lol, mine also have this problem the water accumulate inside, i dig a small hole at bottom of the lamp for the water to flow out, since cant afford to change new. hehe


If i want to use brembo disc brake + OEM brake pad, any advise? My current break system do not give enough force during downhill, especially when break before go over a bump.

My car only ever climb genting once early this year, and that time during down hill i already fill the braking force not that strong.
So i already change with OEM brake pad, but feel not much different, because i seldom do hard braking (slow driver ), so the old pad still in good condition, after 6 years of my driving.

Last month change rear brake shoe because cannot tahan the old brake keep 'screaming' when apply few breaking after car move.

But the disc never change before, i feel vibration during normal braking.
I getting RM180 /set for brembo disc, so plan to change the disc.
Hope braking can improve.

Compare to Saga BLM, FLX, their brake feel more stopping power. Maybe because mine 15" rim?

As our car dont have ABS, i once skidded and bang the car in front, after that incident, i dont like to do hard/sudden braking anymore, i practice slowly brake from quite a distance. That why i feel uncomfortable when sitting in my colleague car who like to break when approaching very close to obstacle in front.

following ur advice, then I will check the current disc condition 1st, if still skimable, then can proceed, else change new set.

Front wheel bearing the same as rear wheel? Just want to confirm to make order.

Went to workshop to service my car, also to restore my headlamp (as i notice the light suddenly become dim since 2 days ago), and check whether my brake need to replace. I was recommended to mod my headlamp to suit 100W bulb, doing wiring and adding relay, which cost RM145, but dono why they said cannot just replace my current 55W bulbs, when i asked they say dont have and if want replace, replace together with the whole headlamps....is it true??
so let it be 1st, maybe can change if still got budget, extent budget from RM500-->RM800.

While checking front tires parts , i was told both my lower arms are loose already (thanks to all the pot holes i gone through ), and since i want to replace disc brakes, so i consider replace both lower arms together (after checking the cost).
When everything is removed, bush also need replace (was told cheap cheap only each), but when total up it does not cheap at all!

After waiting for 3 hours, I see they start to install back all the parts, and 'pak', broke my chamber screw (not again, another RM45 gone ) After everything done, fuh....wait, my headlamp.....check whether still within budget or not, "boss, how much my total repair cost already?" check the bill then passed to me, *stunned* RM900++ cant believe my eyes....fine, maybe next time and i was told my steering bush also need replace....

Today damage....

1. I bought a bulb and will try later when I get home.

2. What I mean is when lift up the car, try to push pull the side of the tyre to check whether fixed or moving.

3. My odo meter and speedometer changed before this.

Lower arms are claimed is OEM, that's why cheaper than original.

Engine oil, tried Molybdenum (Semi Synthetic) SM/CF 10W40, but the oil level decrease too fast, always gone below Low Level just within 3000 km, lucky i noticed it and top up with the remaining oil in bottle. To be safe i stay with the engine oil sell by the shop, even though the oil level still decrease, but still above Low Level.


I need change rotor cos mine already not good, a lot of lines already, weak stopping power and vibrate when braking, so i changed it.

The new one suppose same as below picture.


frankly speaking, after all the repair, i only feel the braking power improve (now i know the previous brake is very very terrible and luckily i still safe), no significant feel from other part replacement, feel like waste.

Anyone know where i can find this type of clip(or whatever it call)? It can be found at boot area

Lol, I missed out the EO brand, it's Eneos. My headlamp still troubling me, the brightness suddenly drops,visibility very poor when driving on road with no lighting. Tried replace with new bulb still same. Measure voltage to ground is around 13.4v,

At battery terminal also get around 13.5V only, with A/C off somemore.
Battery 2 months old. Got erictioh VS and GCx2

both sides same brightness, and stay dim.
the current headlamps is non-ori unit replaced during my last accident.
the light cannot focus on the ground, seem projected upwards and scattered, and i was told cannot adjust to shine more on road.
still consider to get ori LMST headlamps for replacement.

IINM it contains relays for aircond system.


His FC worse than urs still consider normal o?

I see the average

Maybe he drive more aggressive than u, i guess

Normally getting above 10km/L for 1300cc engine, not sure for 1500cc

Can recommend? Is it around sunway / usj area?

i already replaced 2 of the bulbs with LED, the LED also burnt, TWICE.....
and the lighting with LED is dim compared to original bulb.

Do your check all your fans are working well?
Mine last time is the big fan at the radiator is not spinning at all. when car moving around 40 km/h only spin by the incoming wind.

I have tried to adjust this before, lets try it

there are 2 screws to adjust.

1st. (with air cond off), adjust the engine turning screw, when u turn in the anti clockwise direction that make your car vibrate,then turn to the oppsite direction until your car is stop vibrating. OK done, check your rpm

2nd. turn on the air cond, your car should be vibrating now, this time turn the aircond tuning screw clockwise direction, until your car stop vibrating, make sure there is no vibration both when aircond kick in and idle.

good luck
