Hi all sifus,
After my first service, noticed that after I off the car engine, there was water leaking/dropping from the bottom of car (I'm not sure what it is and wat it called). I suspect it was something related to aircond.... before this no such issue.
It this normal or I have to send back SC to check again?

Thanks in advance.

If the water dripping somewhere in the middle & under the dashboard area, that should be the water from the aircond system. It's perfectly normal. But if the water drips somewhere else especially under the radiator, that should be a worry...
*
yes, it was somewhere in the middle & under the dashboard area, that's why I think it should be something related to the aircond system. Thanks for the clarifications.

My doubt is, why previously, b4 the 1st service no such issue, only after it? hmm.gif or maybe b4 this not that obvious.... sweat.gif

sifus,

I would like to know if this is the correct process and the outcome of this.

1. Met accident (stop and the guy behind bang me-should be on his phone)
2. Reported
3.He was issued a summon
4.Went to SC to repair and was told that they need to claim my own insurance fist(done my SC)
5.Once done, i will need to take the documents then submit the claim to the other party's insurance company to get my own insurance company reimbursed.

My question:-
i. Will my NCD be affected(SC said will not) (insurance agent said maybe depends on the paperwork)
ii. Is this correct, to claim my own insurance first?
iii. SC said they cannot claim direct on the 3rd party, maybe outside workshop can
*
I did meet an accident last time, but all handle by the runner/agent (Perodua). I also called the insurance company to confirm about the claim and NCD stuff, they said won't affect our own NCD, they will claim from the 3rd party (the one hit us from behind). I think should be same process as my just you need to handle it yourself?

Thanks for the info guys.
May I know how long the process takes?
From the time u report ----> repair -----> settle the paperwork

Any issues with the NCD when you renew the insurance later?

I only remember from the date of accident till I collect the car is about 3 mths.
No issue with renewal insurance and NCD, just as usual.

Do the mod one by one bro. Test and really feel if that one mod is useful for you or if it is placebo. Step by step also allows you to stop once you are satisfied.

I would say let the pro do the stiff ring installation. It can take a good 30 minutes with de-bolt, greasing and tighten with the correct torque. I would not recommend DIY.

I would assume that you have front tower bar too besides that ARB. Feel the rigidity first of the whole drive after the stiff ring. Drive around more to decide. If you feel it is enough, stop. I thought I had enough only to find that my hands got itchy 2 months later. So I add on the rear lower arm bar (RLAB) to try try see see. I am happy with the result.

ARB and RALB is installed at a different position and doing different work. Not sure if you have looked under the car. If you are looking at the spring as a straight vertical line, the absorber is diagonal. They are not on the same line like the front.

ARB is installed at the bottom of the spring mounting. The ARB pull the 2 sides of mounting together. The springs now works up and down simultaneously in ideal condition. Therefore you will feel the stiffness on uneven road. By establishing these 2 mountings' dependency, the body roll effect is reduced by one side of the tyre being pulled to the ground by the other during cornering. Fortunately and unfortunately, ideal condition does not exist and ARB actually flexes. That is why you won't feel like sitting in a Triton, but still gives you the reduction in body roll effect. I must admit that the drive is slight stiffer than stock on uneven roads. With this flex also, ARB can only claim to reduce but not eliminating the body roll effect.

RLAB is installed slight in front of the ARB. The diagonal suspension lower end will go to a sub frame, which goes to a metal linkage which goes to the main frame. So the linkage will be taken off, leaving 2 holes at one side. 4 holes on both left and right, hence the 4 points bar. This bar is actually a replacement to the metal linkages. Eventhough the linkage is solid, heavy, but the bar is stronger, hence less flex, which in turn generates a better absorber direction behaviour. Pulling the main frame and sub frame together also strengthens the whole chasis. No more feeling like falling apart.

Where do you plan to go to do the stiff ring?

Very good and details info, thanks for sharing. thumbup.gif

guys, i bought this voucher from streetdeal a while back:

98% OFF The Very First Meguiar's Body Coating + Car Wash + Vacuum + at ShineWay (Subang Jaya & Bandar Sunway). Authorized Meguiar's Applicator.

Called them up for booking (Shineway) and the guy said advised to do polish before applying coating - I asked them how much for polish, they said RM 178 after discount (if not mistaken the amount, but it's definitely < 200) - is this true / worth it to polish at that price? I don't usually send my car even for wash so I'm wondering about the pricing and also is it true before coating should polish the car first? any sifus here can advise?
*
same case here. the price was for 2 layer polish (which after "discount") charged for RM175. But before that I already doubt on that price (RM18) to do all those coating works. So, it was actually their trick to not include the polish step into the package. So when u bought and go over, sure have to polish first before apply the coating.

But if their work is good and coating OK, 175 + 18 is a good price too in my opinion.

yes, thats why I did mine... lol

QUOTE(Terbulance @ Aug 29 2013, 10:29 AM)
I also bought this voucher and did the 2 layer polish. The service is quite good and I'm quite satisfied with it. Since I waited there for a few hours and have nothing else to do, I kept looking at them as they polish my car. Any spot missed out is pointed out by me and they polish it for me. Although it took about 5 hours for them to get everything done.  rclxub.gif

That said, I took the package they have which also includes 3 times car wash. I paid RM215 for it. Did I just overpaid? sad.gif
*
Perhaps, urs voucher is for different package, coz mine only 1 time. I went tat time was Sun morning, no where else to go so juz lepak there and see how they perform the job. Overall, I'm satisfy with it. smile.gif

QUOTE(Maxccy @ Aug 29 2013, 10:33 AM)
Coating layer is middle of Polish and Wax. means Polish > Coating > Wax.

If you do wax only do coating, your coating will fade off within a week.

I have experience buying Shineway as well but is best to do Polish 1st before sent it to do Coating.

I Suggest going to Subang Jaya (Putra Heights) branch as I always go there with their good service and proper treatment. Reason I dont go Sunway Branch is because over there they will up sell a lot due to Sunway area there are too many Car Salon.
*
Yup, there's another options. If you got better and trusted workmanship and auto/service center, you can do so.
Else, lazy like me, jz let them do it one shoot. blush.gif

QUOTE(lingleeyen @ Aug 29 2013, 11:38 AM)
So that you can have a protection layer against water mark on you PAINT? Paint looks glossier? Car colour is protected? Paint colour is protected against deterioration? Easier to wash? All of these is feel good effect with a price to pay. Can pay, you like the result, you pshych yourself being feel good, you happy.

I'm totally agree with you thumbup.gif

recently, notice the rear tires when going through the bump, even though at speed +- 20km/h will also hit the fender; all stock conditions, no mod yet. Need to send back SC for checking or ... it's normal.

Are you sure its the fender hitting sound or the tyre sound? Becasue at that speed no chance to hit fender unless u super-over-overload the car.

If it is the fender then its not normal....check with your SC.

not super overload, just my wife and my 2 yrs old kid. not tyre sound, the sound only appear when passing through the bump. will observe few more times b4 driving to SC.

For those have not received the warranty letter from Naza, you may either email or call them. You can find the contact  info at the back of the manual book / service book. I done my one after 4 months after I received the car when I did not receive any letter from them.  They responded very fast by email me the letter (PDF format ) and also sent me the warranty letter by registered post to my house address. Their service is not lousy as some other people said. 
Normally if you did not send you any thing, why not call them or email to them. They will respond to you. I told all my friends to do the same, all of them got their reply
and letter.
Some time to be fair, it is not their service lousy , we also have to do our part to ensure this document is with us in case any warranty claim.
The warranty letter states clearly what is under warranty and what is not. Plse write to them /email to them if you did not receive any letter from them. This is the important document for your next 5 years.

Thank you

Thanks for the info and sharing. Never thought have such doc/letter before sweat.gif
