Coz i feel more control while shifting gear manually, not only for power performance, for controlling also, or smoothness.

I ady feel like hand itchy wanna remap jor.. haha, dont tempt me.
Just claimed water pump last week, claiming another side mirror motor, seems like i need to stick to the warranty till 5th year.
*
I am noticing driver side rear mirror motor is weak. Sometimes can retract sometimes cannot. How fast was your claim? Any tips?

Btw, have you change tyres? If different from stock Conti, which brand you choose? Any difference?

Thanks.
Damn it missed last week's TT.

Last time my left side mirror not folding upon locking my car.
I made complaint to SC and proceed with claim, SC notified me that need order part, will call me when part arrive.

But after one week time, my side mirror miracle recovered biggrin.gif
Suddenly no more issue.
Till now SC nv call me for follow-up so I just ignore.

I changed my tyre to Toyo T1R at 35K mileage. Cost Rm500 each.
I feel this tyre is much better handling and quite than stock Conti.
But I would have top up a little more to get Mich PS3

Stock tyres are Conti MaxContact MC5. I brought to a nearby continental tyre shop at Mah Sing Subang 2 for usual alignment and balancing. They quoted me CSC5 instead and each cost RM820! My shocking.gif , jaws dropped and tongue rolled out.

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

Front wheel drive cars, rule of thumb give less worn tyre in front. Change 4 (or 5 - remember the spare tyre is an exact tyre spare not some small little wheel), can try other brand and experience the difference - which I think is subjective in terms of what is good for (wallet/drive experience/cabin ambient - wear earplugs)

Change just 2 - can also but if want to try other brands then mix brand tyres. Front Michellin / Goodyear, back Contis drool.gif

I just got quote from nearby tyre shops;
Goodyear Eagle F1 A2 - RM550/pcs - shop owner claims direct Germany import not local manufacture.
Goodyear Eagle F1 D5 - RM485/pcs (this tyre cannot side cross switch during 8K - 10K alignment/balancing services)
Michellin PS3 RM580/pcs
Continental CSC 5 (not MC5) - RM820/pcs

Choices Choices Choices.
Goodyear shop fella added, "Better change now lor - afterwards GST add 6%". Nia-sing! after many nag from accountant go tyre shops also get this acronym.

my avg is 10.7l/100km since Nov2013 but at the last pump, it was 11.08l/100km since the previous pump due to jams lah...  sad.gif

Jem jem ini. biasa la tinggi. Don't be sad.
If you want to achieve awesome fuel consumption, pump full at Jalan Duta Shell or any highway petrol kiosk. Reset your fuel-no-meter, and let your lion run. Go Ipoh or Taiping makan makan and U turn back to KL. You'll should get 6.7-7.8L/100KM.

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.

Wow that is something new to me. Guess I was lucky then.

This's not only Nassim, other makes also the same. On paper, an SC is supposed to be fully quipped and have adequately trained mechanics to service/repair respective models. Hence higher charges.

In reality, independent specialist do a better job cos it's their own business! Glad to see Pug volume increasing cos this will lead to more independent workshops. Better price, better maintenance!

Where are these independent specialist?
