Before u changed the seal , oil also dripping like that ? My foreman ask me to clean the engine bay after doing so I can know it’s still leaking or not in the future.

Before I changed the seal I only notice oil stains at top part of engine. I didn't check the lower part of engine at that time....

Guys, on the car jerking at low speed, i found mine almost gone when i replaced my cracked ignition coil with silicon boot. Even though the original part is not expensive, i had enough discovering them cracked and replacing them during every spark plug change. Now trying with aftermarket silicon ignition coil boots.

For those who complained of low speed jerking, do you have ignition coil with cracked tips?
*
The foreman at proton sc checked my ignition coil twice. He said none of them are cracked. He suspect the petrol quality that causing the problem. But I have been using ron97 quite frequently... rclxub.gif Can you show the photo where is the silicon boot ?

I got this photo from Lazada.

Am troubleshooting my knock sensor failure code by replacing worn out parts one by one. Sigh. This reduced jerking is accident findings.

Is this the so called coil plug? I rmb it was Rm100 per piece, right for original parts? Why is it so cheap?

Lol  biggrin.gif  I get my engine oil very cheap.. And my car is at 200k mileage now.
I bulk buy a dozen Bosch Oil filters for RM68.50 from lazada last time. On top of that I get my engine oil from paulhew in Shoppee. He sells Castrol Edge quite cheap, with coupons and free shipping it only cost RM110+ a bottle.

I only drive like 16-20k km a year on average now and per day driving time will be around 2-2.5 hours due to traffic jam. I noticed that my engine torque and acceleration affected a lot after I started getting stucked in traffic jam. Previously i was working in Cyberjaya and to travel from Bukit Jalil to Cyber is by highway and rarely have jam. Hence this is why i started changing engine oil before due time (you are supposed to change engine oil every 6 mths anyway) and my engine power sort of restored a lot.

To be honest there are a lot more to engine oil than just the dirt level from an engine oil blot. Engine oil contains friction modifier, detergent, viscosity modifier etc etc which wears out over time from heat and usage. A clear engine oil doesnt show the amount of wear and tear to your engine internals. I used to extend my engine oil service life quite frequently last time when I was a student. my Semi Syn oil would last for 12k km, Fully Syn stretch to 15k km. But the darkness of the oil at each service change scares me.  tongue.gif 

My rule of thumb is, if u feel a major difference in performance after every engine oil service change, you should bring forward your oil change. The extra drag in your engine waste fuel anyways and will just offset the savings you had extending your oil change duration.

Paulhew can be trusted ? I'm thinking of getting mobil 1 20w50, but abit suspicious, the price of oil is dirt cheap, only rm40++ compared official mobil malaysia price of rm80 rclxub.gif sweat.gif

i gt it fixed today for 10 bucks. According to the mechanic, it's worn out oil ring that i placed my dipstick. TBH, i am not sure what the mechanic has done. I just saw him took out the tube that hold the dipstick and applied some paste and connect it back again.

Sounds more like the immobiliser module 'hang'.
When did u last service your aircon compressor? Sometimes it can be compressor issue, but yours sound more like the condenser is very very dirty.
change your battery, it uses 2x CR2016. Then when u opened ur key, try using it without the housing, see if it can unlock/lock easily. if it does, then its the rubber worn out.
Use duct tape. Cheap and easy.
4 light if not mistaken is boot not closed properly. 2 fast blinks is bonnet not closed properly.
If u wiggle the battery and it works, maybe ur battery contact point issue. easiest way is to pour hot water on the contact points and scrub the contacts with a toilet brush (the black ones)
*
What caused the immbolizer module to hang ? Is there any effective way to prevent this to happen again ? hmm.gif I have replaced the battery half years ago.

Crank angle sensor getting faulty, or your spark plugs is quite old, or your coil plugs is faulty, or could be just your fuel pump getting weak.

spark plug changed not too long ago... coil plug checked last month , no problem. fuel filter changed half years ago. so it's crank sensor problem ?

Might need your mechanics to inspect your timing belt for you to decide to change it now or still can wait.

Usually the job that done together with timing belt set is water pump. But then if your coolant is clean & no rust, water pump no leaking, you can use until next timing belt change or it leak.

Another optional change is your drive belt tensioner. That can be changed easily if you decided to change it next time when it spoil.

Cost you need to ask. I have no memory of it already LOL.

Well, another is the EO. I am using semi EO, clocked about 3500km in 6 months, should i chnage the EO every 6 months ? Or still can use it ?

Wouldn't recommend Schmaco brand. I used it previously, within 2-3 mths kong liao become weak. Would recommend going for Mitsubishi OEM ones. Harder and more reliable. Per set around 180-210 for auto persona excluding installation.

Include installation around how much? Is it better than proton Ori parts?
