Hi everyone,

Just asking for opinions. Sorry if the questions are noob

My suprima is already 6 years old, got it in year 2013.

Sent it for full check-up at Aiman Motors, one of the authorised dealers for proton. The engine is getting louder, rattling dashboard and the suspension feels a little hard now.

They say I need to replace those things

1. Engine mounting set
2. Lower arm both sides
3. Front absorber
4. Module sensor

They say, it would take up to three weeks for them to get the spare parts from proton.

My question is, would it be faster and cheaper to do it at COSE? I don't really like COSE because normally there are just too many people there and it would take a long time for COSE to service my car.

I have had good experience servicing my car at Aiman Motors, so was just thinking to ask them to order the parts and send my car again in three weeks.

COSE should be much faster, but it depends on stock availability as well. Cost wise might actually be lower than authorised, but maybe not by much.

Since your car doesn't have warranty already, it may make more sense to get the parts replaced at reputable workshops such as Zordaq Motorsport. They sell genuine proton parts and the labour cost is much cheaper. They may even be better than doing it at COSE assome of COSE's foremen/technicians don't really check their job quality.

You just need to make an appointment with them.

1. Engine mounting set - get the entire set replaced. total cost is within 5xx if I'm not mistaken at Zordaq, all genuine parts. Apparently replacing the top two only without the bottom two will reduce their lifespan.

2. Lower arm both sides - What is the vehicle's mileage now?

3. Front absorber - Get all four changed at the same time. Just buy original proton absorbers for suprima as their price is almost the same as the ones sold by spare part shops. Zordaq also sell genuine absorbers.

4. Module sensor - What is this for? Parking sensors?

Mileage now about 130k. Front sensor, back sensor, reversed camera all not working anymore.

Btw I see all your comments promoting zordaq. Sorry, but is that your shop or you work there?

Nope, but they do a lot of protons, so they're a safer bet if you want to have your proton car serviced or repaired. I just happen to say it more frequently cause I don't know any other shops besides some others that I go to for minor jobs.

All right. Will try to go there. Thanks for the recommendation. smile.gif
