The check and change part sometimes is budi bicara, because if they spend time check for you but no job done, the shop also shy to charge you mah... Yet the man-hour already spend there on non-revenue generating job.

I have had brake fluid leak out of pump and causes the black paint of booster to peel off. Can't see anything from outside, and i have mentally prepared to change booster as well. Quite lucky that upon dismantling brake pump, inside of booster is dry. Turned out it's pump actuator rubber gone bad already. So just change the pump.

Sidenote: Although most of the mechanics don't advocate changing brake fluid at fixed interval, i found changing brake fluid + bleeding every 25,000km helps extending life of pumps (master pump, 2 small one at drum brake, and clutch pump).
Same goes to power steering fluid, where my wife's viva already on second rack, mine still sports original rack.

I went for original hahaha. But like i said before, OEM of respectable brand is ok one. One good analogy in your case is, your RM150 can get 80% already, would you want to pay another RM150 to reach 100%?

I choose original because of gatal la... For your case you need to weight your OCD aganist your wallet before decide IMO. No right and wrong in this department as long as you don't use cap ayam.

For your power steering, pump no issue no need to change la... Leaking was the hose right? In my case, it's the hose at the bottom of power steering reservoir that got wet with oil not long after change. Once it was the nipple of the reservoir cracked, there was other times that the hose just couldn't tahan and leak from connection.

Replaced my cooling coil today with sanden original coil. total damage 900 not sure expensive or not

Saw someone's brake master cylinder leaking but reluctant to change?

Last time mine suddenly leaking until handbrake sign showing because low level, so proceed to change. I wouldn't hesitate to replace this less than RM200 part due to safety concern, you can never predict how bad the leak suddenly can be when you needed the brake in emergency situation. Same goes to botak tyre, my car paint can be bad condition but I wouldn't hesitate to replace tyre when worn out before botak.

Ya mine was leaking 1 month after flushing. I flush every 2 years but due to pandemic lockdown, delayed for 3 years.

Aged rubber seal plus rapid brake pumping action during flushing could've contributed to the leak.

This guy did it quite well i guess..no issue . Cross fingers.
But he sealed my fresh air intake hahaha oh well

Slow leak like this should be ok. Just watch at the temperature gauge closely, and don't rev high rpm.
Something related to my car. Anyone decat here that would like to offer your 2 cents? My FC become very bad after decat. On gutted cat con now.

Just makesure water level not lower below min level of spare tank no problem.
My car radiator got 3 leaking points, 1 week after around 300 km the spare tank will lost about 1cm water.
Refill every 2 weeks. Keep 1 bottle coolant in the car if go long trip. In case car overheat due to low water, stop the car let it cool down 15 mins. Do not add water to hot engine block may crack.

I'm based in penang wor hahaha

How is your day going?
4 years old dunlop. Thought I was just going for quick patch because found a nail in the tire.

It turns out to be much worse.

Edit: I actually remember 3 weeks ago accidentally run over a pretty sharp tiled curb at the new office building. fuck. that was an expensive mistake.

Guys, anyone changed starter motor before? Roughly how much cost? My starter motor sometime not working need to try and wait for a while...
