Which city are you in, jerry? I had it done in Putrajaya precint 15 long time ago. Look for car washes that offer multiple services like coating, polishing, interior cleaning, these people most likely have the tools needed to polish the headlamp.

Open the bonnet and tighten the terminals again. It sounds loose. Hope this helps

Yeah, you skipped coolant and timing belt, I'd personally include them in the next service.

Do you have a Tesco near you? Usually there's a key shop that can cut and transfer your old key stuff like chips to the new key, even easier than SC.

All these prices are absurd. No offence. I always brought my parts with me to a mechanic I trust and save $$$. I do know a few trustworthy mechanics though, where are you location-wise, Winky? Hit me in the PM if you'd like, I will try to help you.

My fronts absorbers are shot, is the KYB RS worth getting over standard absorbers?

Read they handle better but one mechanic I met was like, it feels rougher and I won't feel much difference since i have stock tyres and rims.

Original Proton you mean? I thought they were the same as say, APM and KYB UMW standard? Anyway, I am ordering KYB rs, it's just slightly more expensive than standard kyb but cheaper than originals, but I hope it's worth it reading this forum. Will update once it's installed. Thanks for replying, btw.

I used it twice, same brand and Valve Clean by Liqui Moly. No difference whatsoever.

I'd use it if the car's been sitting or if I am buying a used car. If it's a daily-driven car, or if it usually gets BHP and Caltex fuels, I wouldn't bother. Or you can get those Hardex fuel cleaners for RM15, they also have the same PEA ingredient Techron fuel cleaner has just to make you feel good without breaking the bank.

Has he changed this hazard button? I had that happen to me once. Shop wants RM100 to replace it while the store only sells it for under RM30, hope he can follow this and DIY.

edit: This video has a better camera angle.

Any recommended workshop for timing belt in Ampang/Cheras? I would like to bring for labour but I am afraid if mechanics are hesitant to do it.

PS: regarding the above posts, I agree what Caviar said, do the basic first before jumping into deeper pockets, do them spark plugs, filters, etc.

Replace the valve cover gasket. Most likely cause of the smell if it smells burnt. Or any hoses at the back.

RIP RM500.

ps: what valve cover brand do you prefer to install? I tried the original gasket, son of a gun leaked again nearly a year afterwards. I bought a cheap silicone gaslet for 10-20 and had it changed, and phew, 2 years later no more leaks

Tayar dan rim baru akan naikkan fuel consumption sikit. 185/55 dan 195/50/15 tiada banyak perbezaan dari segi minyak.

Yeah, that's normal, don't feel bad. I get around 8-10km/l with the FLX CVT if I drive in city. The best fuel advice I can give is to drive outside of peak hours if possible and use more highway.

Buddy, follow this video and pull it out. Maybe you can even find the LED in Mr diy, I think I've seen the bulb as per video before in certain stores. BAU15S

If it's really 90% city drive, that's actually normal. You really need highway speeds to get better economy and better FC figures per fill-up.

Unrelated, but is it okay to put 6pk1677 drive belt on our FLXs? I bought it from my mechanic, but he put that instead of the 6pk1669.
