Sorry for the late reply. 2) My accessory guy says out of stock dy. Saying that Bosch stopped producing headlight for Iswara.  But I will try the shops you recommended. 4) No mods, all stock. Recommended me to change spark plug to Iridium spark plugs,Check exhaust and change better engine oil.  Thanks again.

Thanks again.  can keep stock copper plugs, no need to purposely upgrade plugs. find/identify the root cause of the problem and tackle that instead  you're welcome.

QUOTE(lantohsay @ Aug 27 2015, 04:10 PM) Esp to the Sifu2, Got iswara 1.3 A/B manual 2000. Problem: high fuel mileage like $20/= for 30km. Have sent to proton centre to service few times, neighbour mechanic etc - no improve - chg filter, spark plug, tune&tune again (this was a few years back, fuel=$10/40km) - then just let it be because repair not cheap and since use nearby only. Now think getting worse by every trip - think spark plug more and more dirty due to petrol not burn properly. So, how to solve problem once and for all, w/o burn pocket because car is old already ?! Banyak2 terima kasih. p/s car last service (tune, chg engine oil, oil filter) last Nov'14. tune AFR properly via wideband O2 sensor, most dyno shops have it. can also check your engine horsepower/tune/diagnose problems at the same time. consider going senawang MAG

QUOTE(Azrage @ Aug 27 2015, 11:12 PM) hi, last week i have just balancing my tyre. Recently there is this "wung wung" sound(Like you blow bottle those sound) appear when i drive above 80km/h. Any idea what is the problem? Tyre? Bearing? When the sound appear, not dare to drive faster. Thx assuming it is front wheel: replace wheel bearing, not expensive. the labor/pressing machine will cost more. if rear wheel, both labor/parts also quite cheap. your task is to identify which wheel first.

Add on for DIY: Identify by jacking up the car, leaving suspected wheel suspended. Then, turn the wheel and place hand at absorber. If there's vibration/shaking from absorber while wheels is rotating, bearing is suspect. If not sure, try a few wheels and sure you can tell the difference.
