I picked up three riders from DwiPutra Residences and ferried them to Alamanda at around 4.30pm.

The fare was RM5 and she gave me RM50. I didn't have enough change and she told me she had coins. I took almost all of them amounting to RM2 only. After I clicked Drop Off, I immediately lodged a report to Grab about the incident. 2 hours after that Grab sent me an-email telling me they've credited RM3 in my credit wallet (shouldn't they credit it to my cash wallet instead? Whatever).

I will make sure I have enough notes everyday
5 rm20
5 rm10
20 rm1
10 rm5

Should be enough = rm220
Even after gross 300 a day left about rm400 minus petrol eat etc.
Then take the 50/100 note up.
I will give a rm20/10/10/5 for the 50 change , as they need small note.
Use a broken screen phone haha.
I am really poor though

It was kind of my fault because I forgot to check my wallet first today 😓

need ask sifus here...

5 jobs at 9pm-10.15pm make rm36..

is this a good income?

all short trips

No.

If it was only 1 job for RM36, then yes.

I'm driving an Exora so this is from my perspective.

Hi Guys, This is my experience today.

grab is my part time job. today i start my grab journey at around 4pm. at the 4th job i got is pick up at cheras and head to nilai for RM117. so i think it's a good deal i just take it. it's a malay guy who can speak very fluent english and claim himself working as manager in an event company. he really look educated and his english is very good so he got my trust and i didn't think much about scamming or cheating. he keep on chatting while we on the way to nilai, and he keep talking about his fiancee like it's so real. he also told me that he borrow his car for his fiancee thats why he got no car and have to take grab, so his fiancee will meet him at jaya grocer nilai for dinner and pick him up. when we reach nilai jaya grocer, he say he tell me got no cash with him and need to get from his fiancee first. so i trusted him and let him go and get money because there was a quite alot people standing at the mall entrance i tot one of them is his fiancee, but then he slowly walk away and by the time when i realize he might run away, he already disappear from my sight.

so what i actually want to ask here is.. how do i report this to grab? because i don't get pay but grab still charge me for RM28 from grabwallet. (25% fare for grab)

its a very bad day for me, first time got into this kind of trouble myself.

if those who curious, my loss was total 110km and 2hours of drive go and fro, RM10 tol and RM28 grabwallet.
roughly RM70. but the main thing is i so pissed at myself why so dumb. and also, i can tell and admit that i'm a racist person from now on.

lesson of the day: never trust anyone no matter how well they look and how well they speak.
*
For people like this, it's simple.

Tell them to pay via online banking right away. I've done this before with one rider whom I ferried to Cyberjaya all the way from Serdang. Don't unlock your car yet. If that person tells you he has no money in his bank account and that he wants to go and find his friend/mother/whatever, tell him to call that person and tell that person to come meet him at your car.

If he still doesn't oblige, Waze your way to the nearest police station.

I'm usually a fairly chirpy person but I've learned to put on a killer's face on whenever I drive for Grab. I might be a bit talkative to sporting riders but I will straight away change my facial expression the coldest I can.

My DR is 4.95 so yes, there's nothing wrong with my punch-in-your-gut face 😂

Some drivers managed to get their unpaid fares reimbursed by Grab. The craziest I've ever heard was one rider jumped out of the driver's car and straight away ran into KLIA's terminal. Grab reimbursed that RM65 after 3 working days.

I've got my RM3 reimbursed by Grab in two hours but they credited it into my credit wallet instead of my cash wallet. They did the right thing the wrong way 😂

Received a ping from Kampung Abu Bakar Baginda heading to KTM Port Klang for RM99.

No second thought on this one. 62km at most, this is way better than what GC and GC+ from KL to KLIA can offer for 60+km.

Just now a maroon Alza suddenly went into my lane in front of McDonald's Putrajaya and I gave him a long honking. The baboon pulled over, wound down his window and shouted gibberish.

He even made a pursuit for me, of which I couldn't care less. He wound down his wife's window and told me to stop by the roadside. I wound down my window and told him to think of his child's safety. All of a sudden that angry baboon turned into a docile mouse and kept quiet.

People like this baboon are always full of themselves, always looking after of their egos first and don't give a hoot about the safety of their loved ones. Her wife was carrying her toddler in the front seat without wearing a seat belt. Had I ram that baboon's car from behind, things could turn ugly in a second. I bet most of road rage cases will involve at least one baboon like this one.

Had a similar thing happen to me before. I think I already told that story here. Basically, lorry U-turn in front of me, I stop, baboon behind me honk me, I honk him back, he show me angry face and I saw he had children, baboon try to overtake me, but in the end I'm in the faster lane.  biggrin.gif

Same shit just happened to me just now! That bloody car suddenly cut into my lane from a complete stagnant position on the right lane while i was driving at 80km/h at the mid lane.

It was too late for me to brake because i was so closed to the car. I had to turn my car immediately to the left lane to avoid the collision. Luckily there was no car/motor on my left or else i will be in the news tomorrow (because i didnt wear seat belt).

Always wear your seat belt bro, it's the least we can do to protect ourselves because there are so many baboons driving out there 😅

Wow it seems that I almost always get 6-seater and long-distance job+high fare jobs these few days without turning on AA.

Sungai Chua to Shah Alam U8 on Eco; RM92 for 43km. Took 50 minutes to complete via toll roads 😁👍

This recent Thursday, I bought an aerosol air-cond cleaner from Mr DIY for around RM8. This cleaner is meant for house air-cond unit but I used it for my Exora.

I emptied the whole can in my Exora's vents and blower. The fluid that came out of the pipe was dirty enough, like a very bad case of diarrhea.

In that instant, my air-cond returned to Proton's signature to-the-balls coldness. Even speed number 1 was enough to cool down the whole car all the way to the third row in yesterday's blistering afternoon heat.

Best of all, my FC has tremendously improved since I cleaned my air-cond unit. 15km/liter for 50 urban:50 highway driving. This is miles better than my previous average, which was 10km/liter 😭

The downside of Mr DIY's cleaner is that initially upon spraying, the smell was so harsh to my throat, it was like smelling an industrial grade bleaching solution. After an hour, the smell became acceptable, like Fab's hard soap 😂 The ones advertised on FB will set you back RM30-RM50 but your car will smell nice like lemons in an instant.

what does the aerosol cleaner actually clean? the outer radiator grill or ? and the smell was outside only or it came out from the air-cond ( interior ) ? if it work can have a try since it was cost effective.
how long your exora dint go for air-cond service d?
actually what service does a car air-cond need? i can go to air-cond shop and the person might not advice a proper service , mostly just add gas etc , what was a proper maintenance anyone know?
*
I bought my Exora back in June 2015. Never went for an air-cond service until September last year when one of those things(no idea what it's called) was damaged due to low air-cond gas, so my compressor had to work twice as hard. Not only that, my blower will only work if it was switched on to speed number 3 and 4.

Since that day, I learned that I need to go for an air-cond service every 30,000km, which of course I never do, even until today except for the filter which is dead easy to clean by yourself 😂

That aerosol cleaner acts as a dissolvent only. It will dissolve dusts in your vents and blower and the dirty fluid will be channelled out through the pipes. Basically, the cleaner your blower is, the less power it needs for it to work at an optimum level, thus the lower your FC will become.

If you go for a full air-cond service, they will top-up your air-cond gas, check for coil leakage if there is any, and they will clean your air-cond filter and blower thoroughly. They will dismount your dashboard/glove comparment and they will disassemble your blower to clean every single blade. This is the best type of cleaning you can give to your blower.

I would still suggest to check your gas level after every 40k-50k because many air-cond problems usually start from here.

Pick up a KLIA trip for my 1st trip of the day. After that direct cabut to Cyberjaya. End up waiting for an hour already not even 1ping in. WTF wei!! So soi took the klia trip 😭😭

I took a 6-seater Bangi-KLIA trip at 5am today. After drop-off, I didn't queue at landside or downtown, but I went fishing slowly at nearby areas. Alas, got a trip to Putrajaya for RM18 at 6.30am.

There's no point going to Cyber these days. I suspect many riders there have switched to MyCar, which is a good thing 😂

QUOTE(Goodboy92 @ Aug 25 2018, 02:52 PM)
Coil leakage mostly won't <10years
Air-conditioning gas normal
Dissemble dashboard was bad , my old myvi dashboard was not properly install back.
Clean the motor wasn't that the same thing the aerosol will do?
If so we only need to add gas.
Google abit later

The aerosol will clean your blower, but it won't be as clean as taking the blower out and brush or blow the dust off yourself.

Is Grab really serious and sincere about the peak-hour fare?

I've just received a ping from Presint 15 heading to JW Marriot KL for RM41 at 9.10am. What the hell man? Even from Alamanda going to KLCC will cost around RM37-RM40 during non-peak hour.
