guys, several years back i bought the Eagleeyes GCI bar tail lamp. thought of finding LED bulb to replace the normal ones inside it (the brake lights behind the GCI LED bars. see spoiler pic).

any idea on what is the socket type ?

I can't seem to find Proton + Petornas ATF-XP3 at Petronas.
I wonder if it's still in production.
I want to change my ATF oil asap
*
Im finding high and low here in rawang too.

Looks like theres limited availability or theyre not in production anymore.

personally, I'd skip those (or proton SP3), consider going with Caltex ATF J (semi syn rm39/l, unless you can find old stock/old station at 36/l)
or better yet Motul ATF 1A (full syn, ~rm50/l)
*
ohya quaz, can teach how to see the ATF oil spec which one is the right one for which vehicle ? i only know proton SP3 and Dexron3 lol

went to Hanif Auto Services Pinggiran Subang to check why the hell our waja fuel consumption around 5~7km/l sweat.gif

this guy, Hakim, diagnose then test everything. after diagnose he conclude that :

1. engine compression lost due to leaking, probably gasket (visible)
2. timing not stable at 12 BTDC goes up and down between 8~12
3. idle valve problem (3rd valve, test 1 by 1 using the scan tool)
4. ignition timing problem, incomplete petrol burn due to leaking fuel rail something (visible from outside engine)
5. throttle body problem, solution he spray threebond to clean up.

overall car feels much better now easier to throttle after spray threebond + reset ECU although timing become crazy due to reset ECU. also those leaking things i still need to repair it sweat.gif will continue monitor FC.

i think you need to spare a lot for problem 1,2,3. probably better to change the engine block & top. did he check the coil?
*
how much estimation is 'a lot' ? cry.gif no he didnt physically check the coil. maybe he checked through the diagnose tool and it's running ok ? hmm.gif

Where's your location? Sounds like a very expensive repair coming up. Head gasket also quite rarely leak unless you overheat before as the stock 4g18 uses a metal head gasket which is pretty hard to leak.
Mine broken down quite a number of times but there's always towing for that laugh.gif
*
Im from Rawang, specifically Bandar Country Homes (the other side of Rawang)

is it possible that the metal gasket has been replaced with lauya ones ? 2 years back my mom had top overhauled the car when it reached 400k km. sweat.gif

btw bro got any solution for this problem ah ? bought tyres 205/55/R16 with 7.5" width 16 inch rim and it's rubbing the front right and back left fenders when going over bumps sweat.gif

LOL. you terrer la. 205/55r16. not heavy meh? i used to be on 205/50r16 also i rasa heavy dy.
anyway you can try those "COIL SPRING BUFFER". it essentially raises the height by around 2 fingers.

the only draw back is, the ride gets quite stiff. depending on where you positioning the spring buffer.
i might be wrong but my past experience was:
a) all the way top - damn stiff & jarring ride
b) all the way bottom - softer, still stiff.
c) middle - still stiff. i preferred bottom.

dont know how much they cost nowadays. i have one set (back and front). you can contact me if you want them.

there is another option. cant remember what they are called. essentially its a white hard rubber thing they place on the damper itself.
*
it was on 205/55/R15 since years ago. just that the old rim dented already hence trade in for new one. i thought 7.5jj doesnt have much impact compared to old one dunno this rubbing suddenly occur cry.gif old rims dunno how many jj.

what tyre size are u using currently ?

Lol the gasket is the cheap one, labour is the one that brings the bill up. Overhaul kit probably around RM200 only.

Rawang then I can't help you, if you're nearer to Subang area then can try have a look.

For the rubbing, you need to knock the fender then it won't rub anymore. I'm running 205/50/15 with 15x8jj rims.
Depo-branded headlamp. HID need to get H1 socket HID kit.
No need to put la the spring buffer, that one for people who cut spring wan lol.
Old putra is ok, perdana is really a b**** to maintain the suspension else you'll be constantly fighting the steering just to go straight.

alang-alang can meet somewhere make TT oso with other wajarians. drool.gif

but pls no genting, i sked engine give up halfway cry.gif

Everytime i ask siapa mau tt nobody reply sad.gif
nehh the V6 not powerful at all also. Tarak feel at all. And the tires are not exactly flush with the rim, to be completely flush need 225 tires.

Sad. Found out the tyre scrape issue. Upon checking it's actually the inner fender plastic has come down due to lost screws + old car.

Had to cut here and there to fix the problem. Sigh.
