QUOTE(SKYjack @ Feb 27 2014, 12:22 PM) Tyres and brake pads better do outside. Actually all the non warranty items cheaper to change outside la. Not only cheaper,don't have to wait so freaking long for simple jobs! What are the non-warranty parts??? Besides tyres and brake pads....

QUOTE(SKYjack @ Mar 1 2014, 09:48 AM) Very good. It's a premix with good anti rust protection,so can use straight away. Btw have used Motul oil for my old Bimer previously. Whats the different between the Inugel Hybrid and MoCool?? Both also can use straight away? Thats what i gather from the website, but when google, they said MoCool is additive. Whats that?? Thank you very much.

QUOTE(Eugene Ong @ Mar 1 2014, 10:34 AM) That day was lucky, the SC don't have much people. 6 people actually check on my car and fixing all the minor problem. It took almost whole day. I have spoke to the technician, knowing so much about SC procedure now. So far they have run the diagnose, they said my previous Yokohama battery amp was not up to the par. Due to continental car consist of so much electronic stuff, battery usage are very high. Moreover climbing up hill, it take more power. They have change to battery name Decor which they claim to be better. They ask me to test again, if still can't. They will send technician with me and run the diagnose with them in the Genting. They said they will bring up this case to France to ask for opinion. I will try again today, see how it goes. Hopefully really the battery problem. If you saw a 408T silver, that could be me. Stay tune. Good luck bro. Hope everything will be good. Hehehehe. Make sure your Lion will roar all the way to the peak....

Hi guys,
Just wanna share some feedback with you guys. I just did my 2500km inspection at Glenmarie. The service was pretty good. The staff that serve me was very professional and friendly. I arrive at 830am. And the whole inspection finish by 12pm. The wait was rather long. But also maybe i had a few complaints on the car. My gb jerky issue was solve. The issue was the engine timing and the gb timing wasnt synchronise. Hence the jerk. Coz when engine was reving, by it reach the optimum speed or rev, the gb engage already. So the actually calibrate the timing back. And now the gear change is smooth.
I realise the reason as to why ppl say the service is bad when i was there. The SC is huge and have alot of bays, but just not enough staff to attend. The SC was also quite comfy. My experience there was good, but of course the wait could be shorten. The staff attending to me actually explained to me very well.
He also told me that changing drop-in filter wont have an issue. Just as long as u put the sticker on the filter case to prevent the technician from throwing the filter away. LOL.

QUOTE(Newbie838 @ Mar 3 2014, 11:32 AM) I use the same method. Hose down the car thoroughly before touching it for the wash. I usually use a feather duster to dust off the dirt. Coz i sent my car for a good polishing by G'Zox. Can last for about 3-4 months the shine. And the dust is easy to brush off with a feather duster. If got dirt, like those rain stains, i just use a wet cloth to wipe it. Then the car look shinny.

Hi guys,
I realised that our car engine sound is rather loud when is left on idle (N). Is this a natural character of our engine?? When you leave it on "N" and u stand outside, the engine is really loud. Why is it so???
Thank you very much.

QUOTE(Newbie838 @ Mar 4 2014, 11:21 AM) I got the same feedback on day one but the beauty of it here is when you're inside the car, it's barely audible. In the one week I had my car I only noticed the sound less than a handful of times. If I remember correctly, those old Merc E class were the same, perhaps even louder. Yups. I really does sound like the old Merc. Hahahah. I seriously dont understand why the ac fan is soooo loud. Is there any way to mitigate this issue??? Thank you.

QUOTE(Newbie838 @ Mar 6 2014, 11:55 AM) Support the brand? Most of us here bought it because we like the car not the brand and it's our choice. If you don't like it that's your choice. No car is perfect. I've had numerous issues with Toyota but does that make it a bad brand? And what returns are you talking about? Just to add on....Im a vios owner for 8yrs....No probs...Good car....But still sell it off and get a Pug 408T....Reason being.........Well...Maybe im not wise la....thats why....~~LOL
