no guarantees with a new car / another used car, that the car won't have problem right?
my friends who bought new VW, Mazda and Honda has issues within 6 months.. but of course under warranty (FOC repairs/replacements)..

so i guess when it comes to emergency case, it wont make any difference here?

actually this is the first i'm having all these issues.. it occurred early june
prior to this, no issue, as i do timely servicing (twice a year)..
so that's why i believe there's no need to change car yet, unless the fixes required is beyond price of the car itself..
I did considered getting another car, but after finding out the cost of it, i find it's not really worth breaking my wallet just for some convenience..

yaya in this case, actually wanna ask, if frequent call for Free towing, will i get blacklisted in the future?
I called tow 3 times ady so far, week after week..

lol

ya wei super #syukur!

OAC insurance

Lol definitely not that.. just pump petrol only


this 1 mth is the first month.. cashing out on this car, also still need to repair it before selling..
So regardless of buying a new car or not, still need to repair this car, right?

lol so far i checked, the amount is not worth it though, 10-12k je..

if just want to sell the car to them, they don't want take myvi.. cos it's 1.0 manual and it's 9 yo
if trade in to buy another car, then they'll consider.. but interest rate is higher than buying new car, and max only 5 years..
available cars within 30-40k is another perodua myvi (slightly newer than my car) or vios-equivalent about 9 yo or older..

for new cars, cheapest sedan is saga, cheapest hatchback is axia..
they accept trade in, but the price given is lower than the 2nd hand shop..

so conclusion, not worth it.

mechanic called and told me it's due to cam sensory and fuel filter there.. but will show me and explain more to me tomorrow..

Finally, my myvi back from the workshop!

apparently, there's quite a number of things that went bonkers..
1. Timing sensor
2. Drive shaft
3. Cam shaft
4. Cam sensor
5. Main Fuse
6. Ignition coil
7. Aircond pump

Others are still working fine, thanks for everyone's input here! I made sure I asked them on the areas mentioned by you guys!

Havent done the aircond pump fix yet.. but so far it's nearing or ady 2k..
will provide break down later, my receipts everywhere

2 workshops mentioned that the car don't need overhaul yet. But yes, i'll need to be more aware of the other parts, when i go fix the aircond pump, i'll get the guys there to check out the coolant, compressor and belt too..


Thanks Smackers! Will know who to find if I have any major issues in the future

plug RM40
main fuse RM18
camshaft sensor RM185
ignotion coil (RM220/pcs) RM660
aircond compressor (recond) RM430
aircond condenser RM290
aircond gas RM60
lost the receipt with the drive shaft, timing sensor, etc.. that is about RM800

the aircond compressor actually as been faulty, and because of that, it has been drawing power away from the engine..
everytime i rev up to 3k rpm (before shifting gears) when going uphill, it will have a pull-back feel.. after changing the aircond compressor, that issue no longer persist..

At first i thought that is normal, but i asked and tried my friend's myvi 1.0, found out they didn't have this problem..
so i got it checked out, and was told of this aircond compressor issue..

i don't think that's possible.. a new engine easily cost up to 5k, and plus the hassle of getting approval from jpj..
btw replacement of engine still wouldnt solve the issue yet, but after doing all the items mentioned, the car is much better now..
only left is the engine mounting, in which can be done at a later stage

ohhh.. i didn't know that.. okok noted on this..
Currently it's not facing any issue like pulling power, metal cranking or engine stopping..
Will need to ask another mechanic to check on this the next time i send for service..

Thanks!

my family has a proton car.. didn't quite like it, but it's gets us from 1 place to another.. and it was the cheapest sedan


haha ya wei, didn't expect that.. but seeing that it's the first time in 9 years that I had to replace so many parts, i think it's alright..
Surprisingly though, the previous service centres i went, none of them told me that these parts were wearing off..


Now all is good, *fingers crossed* Thanks!
Next thing is just the engine mounting that needs to be replaced, but that's not in a hurry yet..


Yup, in sri petaling HLH Continental..
