The autofold mirror is necessary to me cos
1. The side mirrors are too damn wide
2. U can easily tell if ur car is locked or not by looking at its ears

There's a guy in Puchong that provides fantastic dent removal workmanship. Be warned - It's not cheap. Here's his website:

http://www.dent.com.my/background.htm

I've sent my last few cars to his place before. Great result every time. But if I'm not mistaken, you're in East Malaysia right?

yeah, i wouldn't be too bothered with the dings

i guess it's old age. u just say fk it. my car has many tiny dings and scratches. there's even a small pit on the windscreen tongue.gif

it's 5 yrs old already, so i can accept it will all those blemishes

Hi...
  So any conclusion on both?? I'm in dilemma. .. sama Situation...
*
i'd say go fro the HR-V

it's newer since it's been launched for only about a year

the current ASX is already 5-1/2 yrs old. a replacement is due usually with 6 or 7 yr life cycle.

but the waiting time for HRV might be long

but if you need space, ASX has more space

you need bigger space, then the CX5 is slightly bigger

if you need bigger space, then x-trail and crv will fit your need nicely


in conclusion, a used current gen CRV (ard rm 110k only) would be a good choice laugh.gif

If you are thinking about buying a new ASX, let me share my experience on one thing. When I bought my car, I was offered 2 years free service (labour and parts) worth RM3,000 which I thought was a good deal, because basically I will have zero maintenance cost in the first 2 years.

Now I regret taking this offer. Why? Because there is no such thing as free. You are paying for it. I found out that if you dont want the free 2-year service (upto 40,000km service), you can get a discount of similar amount. The disadvantage of taking the free service offer is that you need to use it within 2 years, otherwise you will burn your free service. My problem is that my ASX is my wife's car, which we use as second car, so it is relatively low mileage.

Now I have to use my ASX really hard to make sure I can reach 40,000km before my 2 year expired, so that I can get the 40,000km free service, which cost about RM2,000 as it is a major service. If I missed servicing my car before the 2 year expired, I will have to pay RM2,000 out of my own pocket. Essentially I already paid for this 40,000km service upfront, now because the car is low mileage, I run the risk of having to pay RM2,000 for the major service on my own if I dont send my car before 2 year expired or if my car not reach 40,000km yet.

My advice, dont take the 2-year free service (labour and parts), and take the discount instead. That you way you can take your own sweet time to do service as an when your car reached 40,000km, and not have to rush and really use your ASX extensively just to make sure your car can reach 40,000km within 2 years so that you can claim my free service worth RM2,000. This is a lesson learnt from me which I am sharing with you guys.

you should have used 6-monthly instead of every 5,000km

my car is > 5yrs old and it's only 52,000km LoL

serviced every 6 month intervals regardless of km travelled

CKD ASX is serviced every 10,000km.
*
same engine as CBU, same interval, all the same. 10,000km or 6 monthly or 5,000km or 3 monthly if you drive in rough condition

but i drive less than 10,000 a year. sometimes a bit more, but most of the time less

even if i only drive 2,000km, but its already 6 month, i change oil also

u see the syntium 3000 oil still so clear when i change the oil. the workshop mechs even asked me can they tapau the oil for their own use

i say go ahead cos my new oil change is already paid

I have not found a way yet. To be honest, I have not even asked the service centre to look into this, because from what I read here, this is "normal", so I just accept it.
*
interestingly, this happens mostly with CKD batches

maybe if you can have a CBU and CKD side by side, you can compare the insulations and stuff like dat

CBU even has CVT cooler on the left, lower side at the front bumper, near the foglight

dunno CKD still retain this or not

Did my 40,000KM major service on 15/02/16. My mileage at that time was 19,911KM. I am following the duration, not the mileage. And yes, it is the last free service. My car is 2 years old now.

wah, u more keng. less than 10k km a year. hahaha thumbup.gif

if yours is CBU ASX (that is pre 2012 models), then you are affected

you should receive letters from MMM

2 recalls so far

1. the bracket i mentioned
2. the pulley and belting

i had mine changed under voluntary recall in 2012

QUOTE(lucifah @ Jun 3 2012, 09:31 PM)
Malaysia had this recall late last year

apparaently it's the wiring harness bracket that is a bit sharp and may cut into the wiring harness that is the electric power steering control

i replaced mine foc. takes about 1 hour to do it. refer to my earlier posts for pictures (got the letter in dec, but was too busy and was only able to do it in april)

QUOTE(lucifah @ Apr 24 2012, 10:06 PM)
just got my ASX from a warranty recall service - replacing the ECU wiring harness bracket

apparently, the original wiring harness will become loose nad can cut into your power steering motor wiring (electrical p.s. btw) and can cause severe accident

this is the harness bracket:
