QUOTE(zuozi @ May 8 2025, 01:06 AM) If u want more information you need to provide your car model Toyota vios. Nah he charged ac filter rm28. So 180 purely flushing maintenance. Oil filter in the bill was for M oil filter. Originally should be 25. Swapped mine (I brought wrong size) n gave me discount Rm10. So bill me rm15. Some engine/ATF oil per liter also RM 45 or higher really depends type of brand fluid you use , some branded fluid really expensive via official genuine fluid Air-conditioning i believe most condenser have their own dryer aka filter too if clogging also can result high compressor pressure, replace condenser dryer and refill the refrigerant also around that price assuming the dryer filter charge you rm 50 refill estimate RM 120 lum sum everything with workmanship, i mean car refrigerant cannot temporary cycle back to compressor and reuse later like house air-conditioning system if u faham what i mean . I dunno what your Foreman done and do this is just my guessing base on estimated pricing on your invoice. |

QUOTE(zuozi @ May 8 2025, 01:19 AM) Service brake if u have tools you can also do it at home i mean is pretty easy if you know what you doing, old time when service brake assuming your rear brake is drum brake type since you mention is old car then those brake dust can build up overtime can result some noise when braking Confirmed no sound as I driven cars with braking sound before so I recognised them. In younger days was doing 3k km a month for work for ~8 years. Used to be regular patrons to workshop like 1.5mths to change M oil cos of the 5k km thingy.My time we usually remove the drum back cover then water+brush off dust then dry with compress air,then check if brake cylinder is leaking if no then 400 grit sandpaper give it a rough wipe on brake shoes back and forward few time, then compress air then slightly adjust and cover back then pull and release handbrake then adjust again that what we call brake service . For what u mentioned I saw the opening part but not the sandpaper part lol cause I went enjoy aircon in office to cool down d. Too hot this afternoon. |

QUOTE(guest54321 @ May 8 2025, 01:20 AM) The thing is nobody would want to bukak dashboard unless you want to replace the cooling coil, not even servicing it. Wow. That's very detailed explanation. No wonder my last car the old partner checked then recommend me to change entirely new one. That car have few front collisions. Air con became not cold after a while suspect leaking even car was like 5 yo. So changed entire new set. Lasted till I sold it when it was 9 yo.Even your foreman would be afraid of taking your dashboard apart because in the course of doing that he may break some clips here and there and you may come back complaining to him of rattles and noises. Another headache for him. Now, imagine your old and frail and wet and soggy cooling coil sitting inside your dashboard for the past 7 years. Do you still want to bother cleaning or flushing it? Even to pull out the cooling coil may also cause damage or accidentally puncture it due to bending and aging fins. What if it leaks after this, another round of taking out the dashboard? That would be another labor charge. |

QUOTE(zuozi @ May 8 2025, 01:42 AM) Yes original very expensive i think i have a friend last time want to replace atf filter and gasket go Perodua ask cost RM 180 , OEM/universal at spare part shop RM 30/60 can get even spare parts shop want to get original part also very expensive assuming the spare parts shop no scam u by using cheap thing then say is original. This is really new info to me. So top up atf can cost till 220 means half tank d. Either that or the atf oil price has spiked so much lately.Other than that other charges seemed reasonable so not so badly Kena duped la. Malam ni tidur nyenyak sikit. Lol |

QUOTE(zuozi @ May 8 2025, 02:03 AM) most automatic transmission have torque converter and itu torque converter dalam ada minyak juga when you fluid change you only partial fluid change is not entirely emptied , i mean depending the size most torque converter can hold 2 to 9 liter oil if including the atf oil pan depends the size i think more than 4 liter . If change all the atf time taken to flush out and top up definitely takes longer than 90 min kan (change M oil, ac flushing, road test)? Then the cost can't be only 220. Will involve replacing the atf filter which forumer says rm240 per filter. If market price 180/4L this 220 is about there la. So wow. Half tank. Where the other half went? Burn or dried up over time? Probably if regularly serviced top up 1-2L is common that is why he initially told me won't cost a bomb, berpuluhan only. I saw 2 open cans of BP castrol (looks like 4L size) on the floor lah. If machine flush can flushing entire system rather than partial oil change so u need to know how the way they change your atf fluid too. |

QUOTE(LA773 @ May 8 2025, 11:32 AM) After reading through, I think is u confused rather than the mechanic. Actually he asked me to sit next to him to observe how the hand brake level should be. Then he said it's too high so need to change ATF. I did asked what's atf got to do with hand brake he didn't respond. Probably thinking how to explain in layman term then decided to move on to other topic. Lol.Most probably he was listing the things need to do, like hand brake is high and change atf oil. Then u misinterpreted as need to change atf oil due to handbrake high |

QUOTE(Zot @ May 8 2025, 11:33 AM) Most car that use a lever with cable to pull brake will engage the rear brake pads (left and right). However, there are cars that will engage all four tires through certain mechanism. So, when the brake pad becomes thinner, the lever will end up higher for good grip. I think it's likely near blocked because when mechanic removed the ac filter can see dried leafs big n small. And it's never done anything since birth. Lol. So I figured next time not cold change compressor is highly likely. Just not sure how much will cost. Dulu dulu maybe 15 years ago was like 1.1k by the same shop.Changing brake pads are not difficult job. You can opt for all pads change when flushing brake fluid. At initial stage, you can see the brake fluid is at Hi position. When brake pads wear out, the brake fluid level will drop down. When the level hits Lo, then you know it is time to change brake pad. This can be your indicator but don't let workshop top up the fluid in between brake pads change just because they want to charge you For the air-cond not cold, you should ask if the refrigerant was low when checked initially. Then they can top up. If low again after even a year, if not months, then most likely the cooling coil inside car (called evaporator coil) got leak due to corrosion over time. If the pressure said to be high on the high side, it can be due to many reasons. This can happen due to too much refrigerant filled in but in your case it should not because it was just filled buy the workshop. It could be blocked condenser or malfunctioned expansion valve. These can be cause by dirt in cooling system. Compressor is like car engine too. Compressor piston wears and metal dust could blocked the expansion valve. It can be cause by bad compressor but I would out it as last possibility because it cost more to change |

QUOTE(zuozi @ May 8 2025, 05:12 PM) Changing ATF fluid got two way via machine or manually, manually mean go under gearbox loosen the bolt let it drains I know for m oil but I don't have anything that can make use of it so I let them kumpul la. It's like 2-300ml left. For atf lagi I don't know how to use it. No bike or bicycle at home. So let them profit a bit as long as don't charge me if their work give me problem when I return to get refix. LolMachine can flush whole system including torque converter/hose/tiny hole etc in the system Most ATF fluid change is partial change at outside then the pricing is depends the workshop what type ransmission packaging use, some come with 4 liter variant some 1 liter variant if workshop give you 4 liter variant then is charge you for 4 liter variant, i mean most owner will ask workshop is there any leftovers oil/ATF fluid most will collect back then if u no collect consider your rugi, but the botol is opened some will tell you overtime oxidation this and that which is true collect liao also pointless some say is not, so u either keep properly the leftovers oil or back to service center only them using per barrel type can pump out the amount needed to refill.

QUOTE(Kasawari 2 @ May 8 2025, 11:41 PM) Wrong. When rear brake shoes worn out and becomes thinner, then yiu adjust cable to tighten it so that to bring the pads closer to original position. So the higher the hand brake means the thinner the brake pads?And what are the signs the brake pads must be changed? Eg hissing sound when braking? |
