Follow me on my journey on Do-It-Yourself car repairs at home. Would like to share the experience and learnings to help other car enthusiast go on the same path and provide knowledge to everyone to avoid independent mechanics of pulling a fast one on you leading to unnecessary hefty repair bills (everyone has been in that situation at least once before).

More videos to come, stay tuned. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Hnnnnnnnghhhhh.... Love your garage! Your tools!...😍

How much was the sata slim profile jack? Was that a king toyo torque wrench?

Pressure gauges...for ac?

can check on other tcu, abs modules?

Thanks! Sir you certainly have an eye for tools 😉. I got it from Lazada RM750 can get couple 20-30 ringgit discount if got voucher.

You got that right it is a 3/8” king toyo torque wrench, good quality tool I like it. I have a Harbor Freight one can really tell the difference in quality. The pressure gauges is to troubleshoot air conditioning system.

Yes sir you can check all modules and not only that you can do resets on those modules. The capability of this tool blew me away 😆. Maybe I should do a more detailed review on this tool soon.

where did u buy,is it expensive?

The price is RM2000 (hardware + pro software) but the capability of the OBD2 scanner is as good as a professional scanner costing RM3000 - RM4000. So yeah it is expensive but worth it as all modern cars now have onboard diagnostics.

Hardware can purchase online which comes with a basic android/ios app software. For the Pro version app need upgrade separately.

no wonder.. mine is rm20 only haha

Whatever works for you that is the beauty of DIY. For me I was looking for a full fledge scanner that can read codes, clear codes, reset system, data logging and the coolest of all actuation test - controlling the car through a phone 🤣

wow thats a bargain,i thought price around 6k

I always wondered where to throw old oil if we decide to change oil ourself 😅

Yup this is a cost effective solution for a DIY mechanic and still be able to do repairs like a full fledged workshop 😁

I store it in those big 9L mineral bottle so it can hold two oil changes. Once full I bring to a mechanic shop nearby, they will take it and storage it for disposal. Free of charge. Actually they sell the old oil for recycling. Then the bottle can bring to recycling center RM0.50 haha

but 2k for a scanner is not DIY territory already. it is quite big percentage of your car. doubt can recoup the investment

The way I look at this is not like running a business where making money is the primary objective. For me it is a hobby which I can share the learning with hopes it benefits people. A good analog is like playing sports as a hobby, you will spend money to get good sports gear but really there is no money making element it is the joy and experience that pays off hehe.

ok, just feel like not economical for a lay man.

That is the beauty of DIY. You choose what level of DIY you want to be at. You can do it the most economical way or can reach my level of DIY which is close to a pro garage level 🤣.

Therefore I am open to share the true cost so you can tailor the DIY level your are suitable with. Basic level DIY don’t need to spend much even tools from Mr DIY will work.

partially agree, because the money spent on your hobby could be used more wisely to get a better ride, no need for such trouble,

but anyway, hobby is something that one pays for the interest and satisfaction in return, if someone can make use of his hobby as business, that will be the best.

Actually getting a better ride is not the best option too because cars are depreciating assets hehe. Anyway this is not a financial advise thread 🤣.

Going back to DIY, other thing I appreciate a lot is workmanship quality. Everyone remembers the time the mechanic says it is fixed but when you drive it the problem is still there. A lot of time wasted going back and forth to the workshop.

Wow thanks man!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
