The RGO is rated GL5 or 6, which on specifications alone does not meet Proton's specs for LMST gearbox.

opps, was sweet talked into using it together with the lubegard supplement doh.gif
shud hv insisted to use normal gear oil with lubegard instead blush.gif

that should have been the way laugh.gif
well, normal gear oil (even cheap castrol) can be GL5; Just pay attention to labels and use GL4/synchromesh or yellow metal friendly gear oils nod.gif
*
so shud i change to GL4 immediately or just wait for next service?

Quick question, how many of you guys still having the stock door locks actuators(the door lock motor on each door with center locking system on the alarm module) in the car until today?

Another question, if rosaked, will you go back buy Plotong original which cost an arm and leg? Or modify aftermarket universal fitted actuator?

Have you ever consider, whether the original lock actuator can be repaired/serviced?
*
i just changed mine few weeks ago - 10 yrs old LMST
RM300 for all 4 actuators (2 yrs warranty) - gun type - yeah they are too strong and too loud
after changed the actuators my stock alarm works again - before that press red or blue button oso no response, but when replace car battery will trigger the alarm (so i know it's not dead yet)

was told proton originals will cost slightly more than that but comes with no warranty

My lmst fc is really superb nia
I pumped Rm80 and can barely drive 320 km
Does that mean my fc = RM80/1.91=41.88L , 313km/41.88=7.47km/l ?
I know its a rough calculation but is tis normal?

Mine is lmst 04 manual

just to confirm, it's the one circled in red and another one at the other side

You need a swivel head socket type of spanner. If you use ordinary spanner, you are going to wear out the nut until it become rounded.

==edit==
BTW, how will you adjust the timing, using timing strobe light?

i use the spanner from the car boot, did not manage to adjust it yet blush.gif
not such spanner at home, laugh.gif

think my LMST front wheel bearing is finally dead, giving sound like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpsLaSzcAu4
and thanks to the big exhaust, i only noticed it today - maybe sound started today oso
anyone know which shop has the pressing tool/machine in KL/Subang/Puchong area? And roughly how much it will cost? Thanks.

U can go any workshop tat u visit all the time.

Front will cost more than rear.

I not sure bout the price. Maybe u go spare part shop ask for the front bearing & ask the labor at the workshop

Even Nestum also don't have the pressing tools
*
i see, ok i'll ask my usual workshop first
thanks all

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Nov 21 2015, 02:32 PM)
cost more on labor only because need the machine press.

Pricing wise you're on the lower side I guess. However for the lifespan within 1 year is too short. I had replaced my rear bearing last year and for now is still running good. Original beating lasted 7 years. I would go diagnosing first by ensuring original bearing, then more critical will be mounting but nowadays most of them are smart enough to mount properly for the rear. And especially check the dust Cap is not punctured while they place back the cap. Major bearing failures are improper mounting and in our case would be penetration of impurities for the rear bearings,punctured dust Cap.

If you have seem the old bearing, shall be able to make out if there's lots of dust and moisture penetration. Grease will change colour and dust dirt will be everywhere. That's the sign of cap puncture,or worse is untraced source of impurities making way into the bearing assembly.
*
my original one lasted 8 yrs, chg the driver's side back in oct 12 due to water went in
then in nov 14 i chg again both sides rear bearings (NTN) together with caps, i see the way they bang the bearing and cap in i oso shakehead.gif doh.gif
but previously both times no sound at all, just feel like changing it

this time chg is due to sound, definitely kong - perhaps the banging damaged it dy, currently using NSK bearing, hopefully can last a few yrs
did not really see closely when they took out the old one, will hv to look closely next time

I too find it hard to see the water level from outside. Open the caps and look inside, make sure the water level is higher than the plates inside the hole. I think my next batt I straight buy maintenance free lol.
