arrow: suprised with their fast email response? Glad they offered the help to get your car checked at HQ. Update us if they manage to solve your FC issue.

And for my case, air cond cooling coil replaced. Now as good as new

Update us if you have the FC issue resolved. I wish to know the outcome too

Go complain about the braking squeeking sound too since send to HQ ! Maybe can get a new set replaced..

Just got call from SC puchong regarding my rear brake..

So they say arrange someone from PJ SC to test my car together for the squeeking sound, and then submit report again to claim for a new rear drum set.

Updates again once I manage to claim !

Woohoo live update from sc puchong to check on the rear brake issue. Tested car together with technician from pj hq and puchong technician. I was driving and they manage to listen to the squeaking sound that I mentioned. So they say they want to check. Waited about 2 hours now the SA told me can't claim the rear drum because they have tested nothing wrong and this is the first time they encounter such problem. They rejected my rear brake warranty claim and ask me to continue drive see still have sound or not if have continue to complain to their customer service. KUDOS to these jokers ! Looks like I have to bear with the squeaking sound again another early morning wasted time

Touch wood after my brake service at SC puchong with the PJ HQ technician supervising, now suprisingly no squeeking sound. Will continue to monitor again..

arrow: how's your FC doing?

My half tank also about 200-220km ah.. Same same what

You guys renew insurance via TCEAS or use outside agent / self renew ?

But if i am not wrong the TCEAS Body & Repair only allow your claim if you buy insurance from them right?

Else we have to go outside of TCEAS to get our car repaired in the event of accident.

Just got reply from :

TCEAS - Sum insured 54k RM 1133.50
Zurich (my friend) - Sum insured 54K RM 1123.50

What you guys think ? Should go for TCEAS ? or Zurich?

I had this sound when i got my car the very first day.. didn't bother until recently my cooling coil rosak claim warranty with the whole dashboard out.

Suprisingly after change a new cooling coil, the roaring sound isn't there anymore. But once a while will have.. I notice if you start your car maybe idle 1minute, then start driving for short distance and turn on your aircond sometimes eliminate the roaring sound. Do try it out

Or else you will be facing same issue like me very soon, whole dashboard out to change the cooling coil

Yes in your case this is correct. I tried claiming both the wheel bearing one shot before, they say normally won't get through the claim. They always advise to claim one by one so that they don't have to write in a report.

In the end i got only one replaced. And another one replaced next time

Maybe i can suggest you to try other SC to claim. Not necessary to go back the same SC since they giving you such excuses each time.

Going to other SC gives you other expertise opinion. Or .. best of all, write in officially via email and complain !! Arrowhead and me has done our emailing part and they are willing to help.. But try to make peace out of the email dont go trashing them first Write in more proper manners then they will direct you to a more experienced technician for repair.

If you want to see the email that I've send to them, let me know i can forward to you

Minor problem for now since under warranty. If warranty over, need to charge one side 200-300+ inclusive labour.. Quite a big sum to chunk out considering we have 4 wheel bearings !

What is God car? NVH ?

Arrow: even after your recent visit to HQ to rectify still having FC problem??

My vote goes to civic

I actually quite fancy the FD2 series.. I almost bought the FD2 before choosing almera.. That time both also similar price but FD2 is used car compared to Almera new car... So i thought what the heck buy new car dont need to think of maintenance so much.. End up now

Lelong to anyone interested to take over my almera? Or trade in with FD2 ? Haha

Easiest way go to any accessories shop, or you can DIY yourself. Find directly underneath your car seat there should be a clip + wire attached to the bottom, just unplug the clip No need to buy those dummy seat belt

Buckle up everytime, but i put the seat belt stopper for more comfort drive RM 10 only

Yo all,

Those went to review the new almera, the side mirror still cannot auto fold ka?
