today just DIY replace rear coil spring rubber mounting with diy style.

because the rubber mounting wear off and chipped off, left the coil spring knocking the axle steel creating tuk tuk tuk sound.

in order to take out the rear coil spring, need to dismantle the absorber also, so test test still ok la but gatal thought of changing it.

bought the garden hose "thick" version from local hardware shop.

insert into bottom coil spring creating an overlapping of 50mm.

Replaced my 10year old stock suspension to front and rear kayaba rs ultra and k flex spring . Feel much solid but still felt soft. Added silicon coil buffer after that.

oh, guess not too hard then.

lastime i've changed some gas absorber during oil absorber century.

too solid until not feeling any "absorber" nor spring, only feel solid knocking sound.

good for racing / cornering, not suitable for daily drive.

not comfort at all

for example Greber

hard rock cafe feel

So how is the result after DIY

how many years or mileage of your alza? As I see mine still okay. Should check during my next alignment service.

haha, nice .

no more knocking sound.

7years @ 180k km

because i have 12" mohawk subwoofer with box at rear left side all the times.

so the rubber mount kong and chipped off.

on the right hand side the rubber mounting still intact but already become hard solid non flexible rubber

hi sifus,

Sometimes, when i press the pedal hard like going for 4000-5000rpm, the engine sound very loud but the car wont go. sometimes it is okay. i wonder whats the problem. Engine getting noisier over time and slugging. recently changed injector & spark plug. still the same. And there is a weird sound, like water flowing in a pipe with trapped air. and air con kicks in with an unbearable mmmmm sound..

Sifu...sifu..

my alza 2010....sent to SC...almost 4k to replace 4 cables....any one got this problem ??? must sent to SC??

What SC say about your problem? Car can't start?

What happen??

I presume your car is auto.

the car wont go even after pressing pedal but RPM up. Seems to be something wrong on the gearbox. have you tried change fluid and atf filter?

on the sound like water in AC when compressor kicks in, try get it for AC flush and refill with new gas+oil.

Today weather so hot, so self checking radiator system, found out radiator cap worn out.

Go spare part shop bought a new radiator cap 1.1bar denso and diy later.



after cool down 1hour 30mins at sunway pyramid car park, open up the cap and found out its not compatible.



U-turn to the spare part shop change another model.

reach home cool down another 2hours





hand itchy, go diy flush the radiator system together

drain off, then refill tap water, then boil it until thermostat kick in, then refill water again, rev 2k rpm, idle, repeat for 20mins.



total damage

Denso radiator cap 1.1bar = rm18 ( cilaka i check shopee rm 7.50 can get d )

tap water = free



sekian

Hi. Need some help. Figured out that I probably need to change the boot latch. Making a buzz sound everytime I try and open it. Latch doesn't work at all. I can open most of the boot inside and remove the felt panel. I have removed the entire latch. However I can't figure out how to remove the plastic cover that houses the rear wiper mechanism. This just help with access to everything. Can anyone share how to open it?


Also could it NOT be that my latch needs replacing? I have WD40-ed the heck out of it and it's smoother but after connecting back all the bits it's still not working. Same buzz.

Thanks.

do u have a multi meter & spare 12v battery
use meter to test on wire connector first. should get 12v constant during unlock moment.

otherwise put a temporary wire from bateri to latch. listen if same trouble buzz u heard

question for alza owners here, does your car still move when foot hand brake is engaged? i experienced mine does move when foot hand brake is engaged when the gear is in N mode (auto gear)

Yes. It is improved when u have the rear brake check and clean. Previously check by mechanic, pad still good, so they clean everything in the drum too. a lot better.

Hi, I have an alza av, bought in 2018, wanted to ask if there is a box/compartment accessory that goes in between the leg area of the driver and passenger, not sure what its called, hope owners understand the descriptions, thanks in advance.

My Alza still got “!” even when my footbrake release already. Gone after drive a little.

Pls check yr brake fluid level and monitor it.
It could be leaking or fluid level is degrade and require replacement.
