The warranty is subjective to different SC..all depend on what the SC said..

For sharing.

My car just wont start last week. The symptoms of weak battery are just like what everyone mention; took longer time to start.

I just finish changing the battery by myself. Its not that difficult when i follow the guide by this 308turbo user.

diy-removing-battery

I took out the battery and send it to battery shop by myself and buy new one bcoz not confident on the size bcoz some say din55 some din60 and the sticker there written din66???
Bring back the new battery home and install back. Start engine and walla! (Of course i followed the precaution in both the manual and guide from the 308 guy above.)

What i've learnt:
1. Do not do it while engine running (as per 408 manual)
2. Battery size DIN55 (they wrongly put din66 sticker on my original yokohama battery)
3. No wierd stuff happened on my electronics, only need to reconfigure time and radio station.
4. You can disconnect the battery as you wish (pls read manual on the steps need to be taken before disconnecting battery) Its even recommended in the manual to disconnect battery if not using the car for long period.

Hi Just need advice from you guys? Is there any difference purchasing from Nassim especially their HQ in Glenmarrie or from other dealers such GE or Advant. Other dealers seems to give much better discount.  Especially during the extended warranty they say it will be better to buy from Glenmarie.
Thanks in advance

No differences..of course looking for best offer bro smile.gif

I write this for the benefit of bors having fluctuating coolant temperature. There are certain issues that you should be aware. This is not one of those old engines where dancing temp.as long as it does not hit the red mark is fine.Temp fluctuation on these modern high technology engines has several consequence.

Coolant temperature for optimum engine operation is 90 dee. After start the engine gets up to this temp. as fast as possible and maintains this temp. steady through out it operation. Fluctuations of temp. during engine normal operation is abnormal. If anyone says as long as the temp. does not exceed 90 deg. it's normal or it's ok, is talking absolute nonsense. I will explain why!

During engine operation, tremendous heat is generated internally. Temp. indication provides an excellent monitoring parameter to the driver. The coolant sensor plays a crucial roll by continually delivering temp signals to the ECU which figures out if the engine is cold,warming up, normal temp. or overheat. Using these signals the ECU affects the operating strategy of the entire engine management system.There's a lot more signals that enter the ECU for engine management, it will be too long winded to discuss all. Let's keep it to coolant temperature sensor.

Many of the fuel, ignition, emissions and drivetrain functions handled by the ECU are affected by the engine's operating temperature. A different operating strategy is used when the engine is cold than when it is warm. This is done to improve cold driveability, idle quality and emissions. Cold/warm feedback controls the air/fuel mixture. The ECU may ignore the oxygen sensor rich/lean feedback signal until the coolant reaches a certain temperature. While the engine is cold, the ECU keep the fuel mixture rich to improve idle quality and cold driveability.

Therefore unsteady temp. signals can cause high fc and continued driving with this condition can lead to foul plugs. There's a host of other things that take place all based on signals from coolant temp. sensor, from cold/warm/overheat.  Again it's too long to discuss all. 

Don't take an unsteady temperature indication lightly!

In general, they can void your warranty if the part u change is related to another part that needs to be claimed smile.gif

Ideally, new tyre (better grip) should always at the rear. However, front tyre always worn out faster than rear.
So if you out like this:
Front old tyre
Rear new tyre
Den your front tyre will be gone very very fast, not very long you will need to change tyre again.

So for more balance, you should change all your 4 tyre at once. And rotate your front and rear tyre every 10k mielage to have better lifespan.
My 2 cents

My mechanic friend advise change the front tyre to rear, rear tyre to front every 10k mileage smile.gif

Oh Ok, good for you. I remember roughly 10years ago, I changed tyres in Singapore. The shop even smeared mud on the side wall to give a used look. The damn customs at JB, did not believe and insisted it's new tyres. Finally I had to pay tax +fine! After that I have never changed tyres in Singapore ever again.

My car was registered last week and the dealer got the car this week. However, he found defects on the windscreen and front lights and claiming warranty before I take my car.

Is it normal? I am afraid they gonna give me a defective car!
