You can do outside but lose warranty for brakes.

I already stock up on factory TRW pads. Haha, take from people who upgraded their brake pads. I just need to fit it in once mine finishes.

I didn't even have to buy.

Probably your brake switch has a problem. The gear lock needs to sense the brakes being pressed to release.

I never triggered ESC light by ESC itself. If you do, you're violently throwing the car.

I seen the ESC light due to traction control, easily triggered at wet car parks.

I can guess that your inlet hose is replaced. That hose needs replacement once in a while because of exposure to blow-by gasses that rejoins intake for emission purpose. If you do not care about emission and want reliability, then use oil catch tank. Luckily you have replaced the intake hose soon enough. If it has broken, sand particles can erode your turbo fin plus wear engine parts.

However I cannot agree to the technician's argument that replacing the intake hose will cause more leakages due to being more direct.

Because rubber hates to come in contact with oil.

It costs around RM70 if not mistaken.

Interior panels can be very expensive. Like the glossy faux wood panel, one piece alone can cost near a thousand, so don't break it. One of the reason for the price is because these part number actually include the whole assembly, although you needed only one plastic part.

Another one would be the turbo, break any plastic part, you actually have to pay the price of the entire turbo assembly. There are no separate part number for each. Hence the cost difference when you maintain one car in official SC vs outside workshop that source from kedai potong.

The price includes the dashboard assembly, but what you need is only the plastic cover.

Just recalled another part. For CFE/Premium/Turbo, you see there is a shift lock release cover? If you lose that cover, you have to purchase the whole gear lever assembly. Oh well.

I recall that it is around RM120 on maintenance service. I think the official schedule has air conditioning maintenance every 30000KM.

It is a part in the engine bay. The EBC.

The interior panels can break when dismantled.

Yes. At SC.

Recently, there are people who has problem with the fuse box, hence the compressor clutch don't work at all. If yours is totally not working, this might be the problem.

Yes.

Yes, automatically shown when you engage reverse gear.

Mine has no washing coils. Only gas refill.

Syntium 3000 is still being produced.

Yeah I used it twice. If nothing bad happens means it's good right?

I can't feel the difference between engine oils honestly. I track fuel consumption on fuelly too, it is all the same, even if I use Syntium 1000 15W-50.

Mine blown once, few months after owning the car.

Firstly I sent to the SC and I found that they don't even know how to install it properly. It lit, but focused wrongly. Looking at how some SC technicians are inexperienced in handling and installing bulb, I bought the bulbs and installed myself. Tough to reach it, especially for first experience, but I manage to. More than 1 year, no more burnt bulbs.

1. Must not contaminate bulb with fingers
2. The bulb must be placed in specific position as indicated inside the headlamp, not just chuck straight inside.
