Thank you so much for the recommendation. Yes I did look up the 100k scope, but before this was I going to SC and IIRC they said the 100k scope will cost about RM 1k lol.

If u do it outside, my estimate is that it will xost you around ~700 for the items I quoted above.. Price varies on the type of engine oil you use.

The spark plugs already cost around rm250.. serpentine belt around rm100.

When you position your steering wheel straight, can you let go of it without worrying it to steer to other side? Cuz it is difficult for me to get it right at the middle always need to slightly adjust it to left or right
*
I think it is normal... Usually, roads are built slightly slanted to the left to prevent water puddling on the highway.

All cars will steer a bit to the left.. If it is not a sudden steer to the left, then I am not concern and will treat it as normal.

You might want to visit your tyre shop to do a wheel rotation + alignment every 15k - 20k.

Is it necessary to do rotation? Because now my rear tyres have not much thread left while the front tyres just changed about 2 years ago.

Guess I'll try to do alignment then, already near 20k didn't do it and always drive om uneven road.

Btw have you tried UC6 on your city? How's it?
*
Then you should consider replacing the rear tyres and swap them to the front.. 🤭

I not yet change tyres.. the current CC6 still have a lot of thread but my next go to tyre will probably be either UC6 or Yokohama Bluearth ES32.

it is expensive and noisy after a year or two.

but considering I'm driving one with 175 65 15, this is the best bang for the buck for me.
it can tahan lama still got bunga. for me its good.
but it has peeling/crack issue after 3 years or so la.

i don't drive fast but in rain, i never had to adjust to drive in rain (apart from visibility issue la), from what i heard, its still best for wet handling at that price range.

surprisingly, even though mco period impact but still, my current set more than 2 years plus, still cantik macam new tyres
and its still the xm2 ones.

i did think about getting cc6 and bluearth E32 but the review i see macam not good for wet handling.
although i must say, i haven't found one reviewer comparethe above both against xm2 yet, as in a single user who has experience with two or more tyres mentioned.
*
I believe your XM2 still have not harden yet.. When it does, these tyre will be awfully noisy especially you drive through old worn out tarmac on the road.

So far I've been using CC6 for about 3 years already and I can say it is very much quieter than the XM2.

When it comes to performance, I don't think other tyres can beat the XM2 or the XM2+. It is just the way it is.. You excel in performance, you have to sacrifice on comfort.

So it will be up to drivers to choose which they prefer more and opt for the best tyre that suits their needs.

Hi guys.. I wonder did anyone of you here had replace the radiator top casing (resin)?

Mine is getting yellowish which is a sign of fatigue and might be prone to crack sooner or later.

I read from radiator specialist, they recommend to replace the top & bottom resin cover instead of replacing the entire radiator panel. The price to replace resins vs the entire radiator are about the same.

However, they said the replacement radiator aluminum material are less or I would say lighter / not as thick as the original. That is the rational for it.

I already plan to replace the top and bottom casing, radiator hose and probably the thermostat.. Just see when I am free only.

After that, I also plan to refurbish the alternator all Kwong Yik alternator shop.

dammit. was thinking of my alternator too.
whether to do preventive measure. kwong yik really got a lot of good review here.
actually i don't mind going there to do preemptive maintenance at all
just not sure if it makes a difference (in term of longevity) if do it preemptively.
*
What is your current mileage?

I believe if you refurbish the alternator, it will definitely serve as a preventive maintenance as your alternator internal parts are renewed and it will be as good as new. This will highly reduce the chances of your car being stranded on the road due to a faulty alternator.

yeah. was thinking that. at this stage i don't mind spending a bit here and there (just a bit more biggrin.gif) to maintain it.
considering i don't have any instalment to worry.  laugh.gif
just need to know what make sense

plus, considering if alternator really kong. really troublesome, need to tow la..that time dunno can tow to kwong weng or not. plus dunno how long before they serve you (heard got many ppl you need to go way early), later end up too troublesome may got for new rather than repair. so that's also part of the consideration.
*
Mine is 123k mileage... include idling time, it's more than the stated mileage so I think it's time to refurbish the alternator. I will probably do it within this year.

I think waterpump no need.. This thing won't cause the car to be stranded on the road. Wait until its bearing fail then only replace.
