OK thanks for the info, have to ask my mechanic the cost of replacing the driveshaft then. Typical kl potholes always burn my wallet

brand im not sure. my mechanic charged me RM440. changed after 91200km. Very soft to press .

and guys, today i have some problems. after long distance driving from penang to ipoh and back, my engine oil already exceed 92195 and now its 92230. while about 92200, the car vibrates badly if reached 80kph so i maintained 60kph and then when i reach a hill which is steep (balik pulau, penang), suddenly lose power and the temperature icon light goes off and come back within 2 sec. then for safety of other cars, i go side n use gear 1 only to climb and safely reach my shop. i checked the engine oil. seems very cair but my mechanic say its normal. then off the car for 30min n then tried drive again with same testing above 80kph, none of the problem persists again.

please advise. need to wait till tuesday .

nothing to do with engine oil. run another 5k also no problem.
check your fuel filter, temp sensor
car vibrate - check spark plug for misfire

thanks.

Hey do you guys know any recommended workshop to send my iswara? The engine seems semput already..

engine oil dried / finished. juz now the mechanic open the cap, got small amount of white asap.

you don't maintain/monitor the car properly, what's to advise?

It was done by my dad circa around when I got the car, like probably 15 years ago. That time it's around Rm600 i believe or somewhere there. Never had any issues except I had to replace the rack once. Motor is original from day one and never had replace the oil before until lately I decided to change the oil myself.

If accidentally spray into the small tiny gold nozzle, what will happen?

In that case, I've already service the carb. Found that the carb opening a little sticky. Can I use WD40 on that piece of metal that opens and close?

Check the fuel line. Probably somewhere got crack or leak. Get a mech and do it.
oil doesn't make such problem. try check your carb/fuel filter/spark plugs.

around rm160 each long and short minus workmanship. consider replacing the flywheel, the oil seal and some other stuff since you are going to remove the gearbox as well.

if a little ntg will happen, just the spray compound will go inside the combustion chamber only.

good to know. thanks bro.

check your lower arm/absorber link as well while you are on it.

Your check engine lamp should light up for the lack of engine oil

huh . can i know on what basis u reached such conclusion , since past 2 years , this car passed to me. cun cun 5000km i go service, recently changed clutch plate and many things almost rm3k past 3 months. engine oil dried/finish , there was no indicator and i just passed like 25km which from the sticker figure which is 92195.

u wan proof , i got itemised invoice from the mechanic which our family service the car past 10yrs. it was under very low mileage. 2005 bought and its just 92195.

it didnt. if its did, sure i go buy the same oil n topup till this tuesday which is due for service. im very beginner on this thing coz previously the car is owned/operated and maintained by my bro. recently it passed to me and i started to spend changing some things for more smoother drive.

anyway for now, its settled after some mechanic offer me to refill the thing n assured me shud be fine for moment and advise me to check for leaking and weekly monitor.

put newspaper on your garrage where u park.
next morning check the paper for leaks

saw a fresh small drips black oil from passenger side front wheel. what that could be ? . its fresh like its drip after i start the car. was unable to move the cardboard since its rain so heavy and the board kind stick to the road. so i just reverse the car n see the board.

recently changed clutch plate and gear oil about 1 week ago. today i check the dipstick and the temporary refill petronas engine oil is at max on the stick. tmr bringing to my usual mechanic.

If oil is being depleted so quickly, there is a possibility
that the PCV valve is jammed.

Look over the engine body; if there are signs of oil leaks
everywhere, then it is very likely the PCV valve. If so,
the fix is very simple - you can DIY clean it.

(The PCV valve regulates the pressure of the crankcase
and internal chambers (not the combustion chamber)
in relation to the piston blow-by gases generated. When
the PCV valve is jammed, too much pressure forces
the oil out through the seals and your oil is deposited
along the road that you have travelled. )

will update what he say tmr. thanks bro for the info. will ask him about this also.

the bulb might be burnt. 90k plus is quite low. mine is already 400k plus....

ask the mech to raise the car and see where the leak comes from...
