QUOTE(athrunzaru @ Nov 10 2016, 05:02 PM) are all of your brake lights lit up when pressing the brake? I am in the car. So I had no idea whether my brake lights lit up or not. But since no car bang into me from behind, I can safely assume it's working?

QUOTE(qse150 @ Nov 10 2016, 05:02 PM) NOPE. i never use the SAT. i usually stick with the CVT. Kinda like the smoothness of the drive. The jerking feelings when your car start moving when you press the pedal, can actually be nullify while u get used to the timing and feel when u press down on your oil pedal. got use or never use same..tht SAT module will got problem.. i kena before..never use at all yet got problem..end up kena claim warranty

QUOTE(Ricky300 @ Nov 10 2016, 03:26 PM) Personal experience...don't try bendix alot of metals within the brake pad....bosch not so good I recommend TRW....performance brand This seller provides free installation at:- 1) Brake Pad Front [DTEC] - RM140 (Ceramic brake pad less dust but expensive) 2) Brake Pad Front - RM90 (Normal brake pad) https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4028598&hl=trwUsing TRW right now. Just changed last month. Biasa biasa only. Bought for RM55 from spare part shop.

IMO it'd be very rare in any car to improve on the stock air filter, they offer the best balance of air flow and dust filtration. I run iridium spark plugs but every few months pull one out to inspect, they always look absolutely perfect but I do fear them getting seized so inspecting is for peace of mind, I pull a different one each time, and dunno if it's needed but I apply a tiny dab of anti-seize to the threads, I've read about not doing that but can't help myself.

For Iridium plugs, I'd get either NGK TR6IX or Denso IT20 depending on which one is cheaper. I agree with what Wankel said so I'd keep on using the stock air filters. They are also cheap to replace.

Its only done about 14k km though as I don't drive a lot these days.

i think the mechanic broke my oil pan while servicing my car
argued with them but they deny it
not going back there again
anyone know how much it cost to replace it? and good recommendation to get it fix?

And THEY DID MENTION one of my signal bulb rosak. so replace it. is that kinda coincidence? does that means if the CVT light is on .. doesn't necessary means tis a CVT problem? might be other problem in the car as well? such as mentioned ... brake lights or signal lights problem?

It been mentioned many a time here that failure of the 3rd brake lamp will trigger that warning lamp, be wary too that if you're like me and regard old Edison type filament lamps as a throwback and want to move on to this century's technology then the LED lamp would need to be canbus compliant or as I did solder a 1k2 resistor across the terminals. In the FLX the ECU only looks for a trace connection to earth but I believe things are a bit different for the prior BLM.

Now for a technical post from me hoping others may be curious. I'm interested in jury rigging a cruise control and consider the AU$600 price online for aftermarket units to be way too high. My first step is to see if I can rig up remote throttle control which would mean splicing into the wires of the pedal potentiometer. My measuring of the plug found pins 5 and 6 each supply 5 Volts to the two separate pots in the pedal control, pins 2 and 3 are the earths for each of those, and pins 4 and 1 are the voltage return that provides throttle input, pin 4 varies from 0.55 V at idle to 4.70 Volts at full throttle, Pin 1 I figure is the error check signal which varies from 0.27 V to 2.35 V conveniently half the main signal so quite simple to rig up a voltage divider to provide that input. My plan is to take one of the 5V and Ground inputs, run them through an adjustable voltage regulator then feed the output to line 4 and run the output through a simple two resistor voltage divider also to pin 1, I'm thinking by running the voltage directly like that it will mean not having to disconnect the plug from the pedal sensor with the voltages overruling it. I haven't tested anything yet while I wait for some bits to arrive but if anybody has any thoughts and experience here I'm all ears.
BTW one internal pedal pot is pins 3,4,5 the other one is 1,2,6.
