Hi Bro... :respect:

IINM most car parts hv so-called "List" prices...
Then one is given discount...up2 dealer 2give...

Eg Ori Proton oil filter is RM30 on box but can get 4only RM10! :peace:

So altho labelled "officially" as RM450, it's much less than that...
Me paid only RM190 here with trade-in old batt3...

ps. Feel KL areas shld b able 2get lower... :rolleyes: c. H

Batt3 changeover tip :

Start engine b4 start 2disconnect ole batt3...
Keep engine running while replacing with new batt3...
Turn off engine only when changeover completed...

Why?

Eliminate effects/changes to ECU/TCU/Radio/etc Settings possibly caused by electrical supply cutoff during changeover...
True?

Anyway, in my case 2day, it worked!! cheers.gif

Note : Abv was done (& explained 2me) by Tyre/Batt3 Shop boss...

Just make sure when doing it, doesn't damage the ecu/tcu.  whistling.gif
Can do, but the chance of damaging it is higher.

Told by my 40+ years of experience lecturer in automotive.  wink.gif

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Yup, there's that risk... nod.gif sweat.gif
However, me was caught unaware of that procedure tho...
Happy now nothing went wrong lo... thumbup.gif

ps. Mayb it's ok as long as engine is juz idling...lower risks? tongue.gif

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jan 10 2014, 02:04 AM)
this. because car battery serves as a cushion/regulator on electrical spikes produces from the alternator.

best way? have the engine off, have a spare battery, hook it up with your car +/- cables using extra cable/clamps (onto the existing car +/- cables), proceed the replacement - voila no radio/ecu data wiped biggrin.gif

pros: less risk
cons: you, or your workshop you visit require a spare battery lying around and 2 additional cable/clamps (most cars have jumper cables in their trunk, no?)
*
Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Good suggestion there! TQ!
However, wonder how many shop owners/staff wld follow such a procedure...
To do ourselves, we wld need a spare batt3...
Or at least a fren's car to "jump but not start" with...? tongue.gif

"most batt3 in NEW cars wld last longer than than usual bcos every system in the cars are functioning well!

same like collapsible steering column  which being incorporated since waja n its the base for every prtn since waja,no need to put that in. coz the higher the marketing cost,it will absorb to the cost of the car. so need to be prudent enough. prtn isnt selling car at the same volume as others.

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Do we really hv that feature in our present Sagas (BLM/FL/FLX/SV)?

Mayb it's such an old (ancient, perhaps) feature that P1 felt not even worth mentioning?
My old old VW 1300 Beetle in the late 60s oledi hv that feature!! whistling.gif

QUOTE(dares @ Jan 14 2014, 05:58 PM)
On the issue of the collapsible steering column, P2 does show it on their Myvi brochure, that's why ppl think Myvi is safer than Gaga. I didn't even knew this feature existed on Proton cars before you posted it just now.

And if a normal customer go to both P1 and P2 showroom and compare the brochures for gaga and Myvi, he/she won't want to buy a Gaga. That's why I say P1 marketing fails like nobody else.

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif
To a discerning buyer, safety features in car they buy means alot nowadays...in view of traffic density & risks on roads... sweat.gif

hi mr zeone,as i mentioned earlier,its a standard or common,yup in any prtn made car. but in malaysia,the thing still sell by thd feedback cuz we dont really have a strict body to govern on auto related development.

even some r still reluctant to meet unece r94 n 95 rules unless when they release new model or facelift.

thats why when read closely,many new model n facelift,in the report,news especially paultan,u will see the word this car or mpv meet unece r 94 n 95. start with almera n even facelift livina also they mentioned it cuz previously not following the standard :-),being exempted. since last year,it bcnme mandatory. this year,dual airbags.. but i think shud upgrade it. not only airbags,but more than 50 homogolation,then others will have to send their euro version car n engine :-),

Many tks, Bro mat79, 4yr kind response 2my post! thumbup.gif

Frankly, me hv read yr posts off & on in here as well as other p1 discussion threads...

Hi Bro... notworthy.gif

Here it's abt RM20 first time replace...then RM5 per refill if necessary...(5+ yrs ago?)

Frankly speaking...nitrogen as produced by those machines?
Not much different...it's not pure nitrogen lo... tongue.gif
Usually 80+ to 90+% depending on efficiency of chemicals used...
Some shop machines give as low as 80+% due 2cut cost poor maintenance/replacement if chemicals...

Nitogen % in Air (78-79%) & fr the machine only small % diff..
So only main advantage is longer retention of gas pressure due2 slower loss of gas...

Useful more perhaps by airplanes & F1 cars? At very high speeds?
Possibly helps maintain pressure in yr car tyres since yu now in2 track & speedfest comp?

For the normal car user, nope...except 4that 1 small convenience...
Inconvenience? Biggest is hv 2find a shop with that machine. ..not many elsewhere besides KL area?
And if yu go2 other shops (not yr usual) charges are higher 4refills! sweat.gif
Moreover, Air is FREE! rclxm9.gif
