It's weird.. As far as I know, normally aircond parts usually doesn't come with warranty unless it is being installed in certified repair workshops like DENSO aircond specialist.

This is because at times, it is not the new parts that are faulty but bad installation made it go faulty within the warranty period (e.g. over fill the refrigerant and oil which may cause over pressure in the system thus gas leakages).

Since you've opted for Showa cooling coil, I guess the price is around there taking into consideration you had replaced the blower fan and receiver dryer.

May I know how much the receiver dryer cost? I just replaced my few months back and was told the TMO's receiver drier is more expensive than others. Like RM30 vs RM90 for TMO.

The function of the receiver dryer is basically absorb moisture in the aircond system. Since my is already 11 years old, I had replaced it.

The shop i went were denso authorised service center.
The receiver drier they are using showa brand and cost me about RM120

so my car has been creaking on off when going on bump, and lately a bit more serious when taking corner as well (it never really creak when corner before, but the sound not so serious la).

i have changed my engine mounts on April so i don't think it was the issue, then i narrow down in my mind, the absorbers, which i changed aftermarket (shokz by apm) about 3-4 years ago.

i have left over of AT205 (search in this forum what this is about), which is a liquid to rejuvenate rubber and and sprayed on the absorber, as you can see it was wet a bit. and it helps.

but i just noticed something. when i turn steering to left, the left absorber mount has gap, when i turn steering to right, the right absorber mount has gap, is this normal?

that's great thanks!
i have also asked from the babysitter uncle that used to own a spare parts shop.
he also said its not normal. it could be installation, it could be absorber mounting underneath broke. or he said there is a bearing as part of the assembly, which may have defect.

sigh..guess i have to head to AR Man auto this evening.
considering i have to go interstate to in laws house tomorrow after so long.  sad.gif

just for the record, when i replace it, i only use after market shocks.
all others like mounting, bush, i uses ori bought from honda authorized shop.

maybe you could consider Vmag Motorsport at bdr Sri Damansara or maybe is it too far for you ?

when i replaced my shock absorber 2years ago and i bought all the part through shopee
bump stopper, absorber mounting, mounting bearing and dust cover are under KYB brand
i didn't consider Honda showa which at that time still consider looking at my budget kinda tight at that time so i went on purchased from Shopee.
until today so far i dislike the shock are it was too harsh to my liking was planning on looking at monroe OE and will replace all bush again since under the same process when assembling

Wah. Vmag really cheaper ah? won't potong right? coz i'm familiar with AR Man.

its 10km more but only 5 mins further from google map. its doable, just that I'm not familiar. but if both you guys really suggest VMag over AR Man auto, I will give it a try? Confirm you both prefer Vmag?

*
my upcoming engine oil leak repair will go to him as they are knowledgeable in GM2 cars and even the owner of the shop also driving GM2 and do track racing with his GM2
Pricing wise i wasn't sure as i been there just for normal car service as i brought my own part & oil and he charge me the labor cost.

Nope. I change it myself a couple of months back. And VMag helped me check again yesterday lol.

Just not sure if due to wash engine bay, got some water stuck in there. After blown it away, now ok. Possible or not lol.
*
Believe manufacturers already do water proofing on the motor itself knowing that motor will mostly hitting by rain water or car washing

As blower motor maybe time to change as moist build up in the air blower box and causing issue ?

Actually I am not so concern about the longevity of the engine. Honda's engine can easily last a very long time if it is well taken care (don't push hard and regular oil change and spark plugs).

The weakest link to me is the gearbox. Although the gearbox is considered durable by today's standard, the clutch packs will eventually wears out. Once it wears out, you will need to dismantle the gearbox to replace the clutch pack.
*
lol .. speaking of the gearbox now it gives some problem on last Sunda like when 1st gear shift to 2nd gear and the vehicle "jerking" but after 2nd to 3rd and so on the "jerking" sensations no more .
The 'jerking' effects only lasted for 2days and doesn't seems to encounter anymore .. suspect the ATF went dirty since already 26k KM on the belt.

The coolant condition I would say still looks good. 2 years is too soon to perform a flushing. I'd normally do it every 4-5 years. The life if the type2 coolant is actually quite long. Easily can last 50,000km.

The originally prefilled coolant.. Honda recommended to replace at 100,000km or 10 years right?
*
Yup, 100k km only change
Cause because I replaced my radiator top plastic resin cover before and i did a bad job on clearing the old fluid out
So i was doing preventative maintenance on this time round
