QUOTE(Zot @ Oct 28 2022, 03:09 PM) Cannot like that la . I think just need to pry out the switch panel, not the whole door panel. Proper workshop will have that plastic tool for this not the flat screw driver Truthy, yes electronic contact cleaner can direct spray on the switch panel. My mechanic already did quite a few cars without issues. After spray, swip and dry it for a while before using it back again. This post has been edited by littlefire: Oct 28 2022, 02:24 PM |

I thought the contact is hidden under plastic cover. Contact cleaner (mine) dries so fast like you don;t have time to even wipe it off After spray, swip and dry it for a while before using it back again. |

QUOTE(Henry T @ Nov 17 2022, 10:24 AM) Service/repairs is based on a car's age or mileage. My final service date is over 5 years, so i intend to send outside for service. That's why i ask is it necessary to change the v belt and spark plugs since it's only 48k mileageSend it to the SC and they will do what is required for your five year old car.

I change my v belt and spark plugs outside, save even more money. |

QUOTE(Dickong @ Nov 17 2022, 03:00 PM) RM 300+ for the belt and 400+ for the set of spark plugs. These are Service Centre prices. I guess if I amortize this cost over five years it is not high. There are also other items because this 5 years (or 100k) service is a major service. Total bill add up to RM 1.3k. |

Hi, I need advice here. I am planning to buy Subaru XV 2014 which has been offered around 37-39k to me. I have gone through this thread and found few things to consider before buying like the boxer engine, milleage etc. The condition as per checking is okay, got sensory problem that the owner in the midst to rectify. Any other advice whether I should proceed or not??

We cant see or check on your car either by typing here, is all depends on the previous ownership if he/she really did the maintenance well. |

Any other advice whether I should proceed or not?? Boxer sometimes got worn out piston rings on high millage cars or hard driven ones. Those engines eat oil n is a time bomb. Changing it might cost a bomb. Hard driven ones can also have gearbox issues. Listen carefully if it sounds rough. Also when test drive the car, do a U-turn n listen for any drive shaft sounds. It will sound like tak tak tak... Another thing is to check the rear diff. Sometimes but rare it can leak oil. Check for any obvious oil stains.This post has been edited by WhitE LighteR: Dec 20 2022, 11:49 AM |
