Hi all Sifus,

Can anyone here tell me wat the price for the matter above? As i have give to 1 workshop for a quotation for my car, he quote me about RM1.8k as he say that black oil leakage has leak till engine part and almost cover 70% of it but not many just little. The quotation written there the labor charge about RM800 coz he say nid to take out the engine to fix the matter. Please help ~~~

Thanks.



Updated : Here is the quotation that given to me. Any sifus can advise bout it? i'm sorry that i know nothing about car but still learning it. So wanna ask sifus here whether the price is acceptable for this repairment?

It depends on how serious the situation is but I don't think the labour will cost RM800 even at Perodua Service.

also depends on what kind of leak you're referring to. is it leaking from the gaskets? unless the car is consuming engine oil (i.e. blue smoke coming out from exhaust) i don't think you need an overhaul.

er... i'm not so sure bout tis but the mechanic just told me tat the black oil leakage and it has cover the engine part. i think i put a quotation out here as refference.

i not sure also, try quote from a few shops?

leak engine oil..due to gasket failure...remove head block and main engine block , change all gasket...should less than rm800
material and labour

that's a typical cut throat price. Please consult other mechanics.

1. try ask other shops for their opinions.

2. $$$ depends on how severe the leakage.

3. have u ever over-heated the engine before?

btw, it's Engine Oil, not Black Oil.
Engine Oil is typically yellowish when new, & black when it's due for change.

take ur car to the car wash... tell them u wanna wash the engine (might as well wash n vacuum the car one shot)...

after the wash, keep an eye out for the leak and see where the leak is coming from. once u find out where the leak is, (take picture if ur unsure) post here again and ask.

Ya.. will gonna look for other shop for quotation but just wanted to know how the sifus here say about it as i have know nothing bout it... paiseh

hmm... might gonna try for tis. Guess gonna search for a washing shop tat provide tis. Thanks for ur info bro.

What kind of motor oil 20W50? MyVi recommended is xW30.

i'm not sure bout it.. my mistake also didn't check thoroughly the quotation.. >.<
i think it is the engine oil

cut throat price.. most seals located at eazy to replace area except cranckshaft and gb oil seals. Rm 800 for labour can full overhaul your engine already.

Rm800 is done take out whole engine already ,if take out whole engine ...recommend you do full overhaul,or else cut cost wash your engine 1st,monitor few day see where is leaking and do the leaking parts,maybe oil seal or some gasket leak only

how much for full overhaul ? Will the price can over than the attachment?

Depend on situation bro,if your wan cut cost and thinking to sell off your car soon,dont do so much,cut budget....if you wan use long term,then i suggest you done full overhaul,bring your car to trusted foreman.some parts really need take out only can see ,if you dont wan headache with your car,done full overhaul already then in future take care your car.
