But if the original Honda absorber is already so "low", is it worth it to go with Honda? Thanks - will read up about KYB Excel G.

Where did you get yours?

Are these two the right ones?

And are the price reasonable? It's about RM950 for the 4 wheels.

Thanks - yes, I will do just that or wait for better deals during the upcoming sales. At least now I know what I needed to buy/change. How about the mount and bush? Do I need to change them too (might as well?)? If so, any recommended brand/parts?

how many oil seal inside gearbox cylinder.mine leaking lagi la at the back of the cylinder near lower arm

Bro, it seems like the atf filter is under or behind the throttle instead of just the filter box. I need to remove the whole thing? I just bought the atf filter and wanted to diy myself. Haha.

Just to be sure. White highlighted definitely need to remove. Orange also? That is what you call air filter box? I thought only white is called air filter box.

So only red part is called throttle body? I thought orange is part of throttle body.

I tried to remove to nut on the right side of the white highlighted, but it's screwed too hard. I use the normal long nut driver to reach. I think maybe need the torque nut driver instead to apply better power.

My car now is 113k km. Previously got once gear seems to have problem. Switiching gear seems a bit hard. I'm 5 minutes always from home in a rainy days. Next morning it was fine. Bring to workshop, workshop can't figure out since not happening. Changed atf  every 20k km. So better change filter too I think.

But even without this incident better change too. I learned alot from you and other forummers on maintenance, beyond atf and engine oil change.

Did my throttle body cleaning, changed serpentine belt, changed brake fluid.

Wanted to explore myself if it's easy. I've asked the neighbourhood workshop, even point to him, he didn't know got such thing and never did before. Lol.

Hi Bro, can share ur workshop location/details? My AC giving me problem. not blowing cool air, before that every time on the AC got some sound and stinky smell...

They open up the dashboard to replace cooling coil?

Confirm the cooling coil leaked, change to local brand (SWJ). Fill up the gas a day before and finish the day after, so the leak damn big.

Cooling coil+aircond air filter+refill gas+workmanship cost me 600++

Dont know the performance of the cooling coil brand, but warranty cover for 1 year.

Nilai. Yes, prior to the leak i do smell some stinky, but then it went away.

Did anyone's aircon button light went out? Is it a hassle to replace?

LOL. So expensive. Thinking to replace it if possible. Outside workshop. Though I don't know how it should be replaced, whether it's a hassle. Older version seems have to dismantle alot of stuff just to get access. Was wondering if removing the button will do.

By the way, I have my gearbox light replaced by outside workshop as well. FOC. While change engine oil.

I just change at my neighbourhood workshop in setapak. It was 15. Then they start charging rm20 a while ago. Then just before cny I go again it's Rm15 back. Haha. Now using fully synthetic so I just go every half a year. Sometimes out of convenience, I did it in other workshop also.

Yes. I bring my own engine oil. Was using Honda semi. Then start 2 bottle of Honda fully syn. Now just switched to shell helix 5w40 bought from giant, change before cny. I will reserve review after I go back kl tomorrow then straight long distance to johor first.

But at a glance, the oil is really heavier. But feel a bit protected whenever I step a bit more on the pedal. It will affect fuel efficiency.

In any case, I have another bottle waiting to be used. So I can wait till end of year before decide whether to stick to it or change. But most likely, I will switch back to 5w30, but not with Honda anymore.

Thanks. I was under the impression (my own assumption perhaps) that rear is drum brake. I was rethinking about it since I changed rear brake pad as well. Thought drum brake should have brake shoes and not pad, but I'm not sure.

And also. Most reputable brake pad, like akebono, it'd easy to find the brake pad for front but not rear. So it adds to my confusion.

Does the brake retainer clip comes together when purchasing brake pad?

Yeah I'm using a 1 year old bendix metal king front pad. A bit regret. But its all part of learning. The rear one I'm not sure as it's from the workshop and I didn't ask.

I cant seem to find akebono rear one.

So the issue happened lately again. I noticed that the piping which is supposed to be cold (at least the first picture one) is hot. The Two fans at the front is Turning so that's not a problem.

Someone mentioned in the forum about the smell and he got the correct description I think. It's smells like hair spray.

What could be the problem?

Anyone know what is the size of the drain plug washer? I can't find the exact model online. Agak-agak can find M14 (14mm) size, is that correct?

Would like to change it to magnetic plug when I DIY service. Gonna be my first DIY service my own car.
