Maybe u can try hankook s1noble2 . Price is RM 380 .
So far so good , I change 2nos n I feel it better than mc5.
Go to tyre review n read the comments.

Go balakong better SC

It is normal. Turbos are very very very hot. Especially when you drive it hard. I have a pic of my turbo burning red as well, but i cant find it. Will post when i find it. Just try not to do this very often

By the way, how hard did you run in order to get to this stage?

RM420 for original brake pad is cheap.
Which workshop you change it?

Hi Chee Keong,

I tried reading the review for hankooks1noble2 from few website. Looks positive too. Actually earlier planned to change to same Conti tyre. But now after reading about hankook , may change mind.....any recommended shop with good price for this hankook tyre? I am staying in puchong basically...don't mind going as far as klang...

Hi All,
Any other suggestions besides this hankook s1noble2 for my 408 turbo?

Another tyre neuton 8000 or neuton 5000 , highly rated on my previous car group (focus)

Sorry for late reply.
I change it at Kuchai lama, there is a workshop do most of Peugeot n Renault car.
The shop is just opposite at the ajinomoto factory there.

I change it at pekan Sg Besi lake field , the shop is a Michelin tyre shop.

Maybe u can try Bridgestone adrenin 3, this model is just launch.

Sorry wrong spelling.
Bridgestone adrenalin RE003 model.

Did you stuck a gopro inside the car bonnet???

Guys
Just for discussion sake. How is our car -1.6 turbo compared to Passat?

Hi Guys

Just took my car from Glenmarie after 2 months - first due to cosmetic issues and then car stalled - had to change the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Took the car on Thursday:

a) Car having grinding sound when accelerating and then no sound. Everytime slow down and accelerate I have this sound.

b) The gear knob just came to pieces!

I think it is coming from the driver side at the back. Didn't have this problem before. Just took my car from Glenmarie and had the problem.

You also have been claiming a lot of warranty huh? lol. I am getting tired also! :-)

Thanks you the info.

Part + installation less than Rm300.
Performance on par with original, less dust

Happened to mine also.
Just use UHU glue it back will do

it easily broken ?
touch wood mine still good in condition ...
