Tauke found out got spare parts seller fake item


Mahle HQ inspection eventually found out both are fake


Few months ago i bought Shopee fully synthetic seller claim original 100% authentic
They got KPNDKK approval, import license etc
When i received there is indeed has QR code, but the QR code lead you to invalid 404 link
I know i already upcar when i see the QR code cannot function

With the flooded goods especially from China
The so call ORIGINAL item/spare parts you bought from SHOPEE/LAZADA are mostly fake

Even workshop tauke kena upcar
a layman like you and me, able recognized the ORIGINAL quality you bought online from untrusted seller/source?

Nowadays why there is a sudden interest in buying car spare parts online ? Am I missing sth here ?

apa lagi, because cheap.

Shopee kek. Everything they say 100% original, guarantee original. Even though price like quarter of original one.

I just want to share even spare part retail shop are selling fake goods circulating our automotive market.
Yea we all want the best value, but sometimes we might get trick sourcing the counterfeit goods because of the lower price.

1. Dont be obsesses with specific brand, choose the one provide longest warranty item.
2. Cheap things no good, Good things no cheap

Ori MYR 850, Online CNY 110

Go back to the SC la. If want ori.

If there is an official supplier in the country why get from other supplier? Even getting also never verify properly if real just based on trust?

The item even from ori supplier also don't have warranty?

doa warranty punya. 有等于无

nowadays even coolant, engine oil and oil filter pun ada fake

Oil filter > inside punya filter shorter and thinner and unable to filter like normal filter

Engine oil > Recycle oil and peasant like us can't notice at all

Coolant > just coloring water, if put inside fridge/chiller confirm it will frozen as ice

That's why u can see nowadays a lot of car breakdown after they didn't at SC or proper workshop

dah lama la, even i saw some contact lens written korean wording but actual from China

That's why I only send my car to official centre, especially if the parts got involve engine, no need to give myself headache in the future

U need the videos to tell you ?

👍👏

Buying original parts online for half the official prices is a red flag, If buy online do not buy from those who proclaim that their parts are ori. KPDN is powerless with these online platform

Obviously pricing.

Even before online they already selling fake parts

Just nobody knows

My petronas syntium 5w30 RM240. Shopee sell RM90. You say leh. RM90 for cooking oil

Terbaik. Buy the rm90. Save so much! Can almost buy3x.

Bodoh buy Made in USA fakes then want to cry father cry mother. No such problem if buy Made in China

1. I fully agree
2. I would revise it as "Cheap thing may not be good. Good things can sometimes be cheap". Consumers have to be vigilant all the time. Like for P1 for instance, my car is obsolete model, so can't find most genuine and/or Jpn parts anymore. So lucky still have some local manufacturers still producing essential wear&tear parts like suspension or engine related with sound and solid quality, much comparable to Jpn quality.

I also can't differentiate, that's why buy only from official mall or reputable seller.

Crucial or sensitive car parts must not be bought online unless you want to be water fish

Official SC is not always legit too. A lot of bait and switch / hanky panky.

Budak SC that I am close with told me a lot of SC keep the ori stock from HQ and use grade B stock for their own customer. The ori stock is then sold to stockist.

Usually it happens on higher value items especially suspension parts, alternator, compressor, cooling coil and etc.

so who are these 'stockists' actually ? XYZ Companies that claim to be suppliers of parts/consumables to SCs?

SC also get from authorized distributor. The thing is whether authorized distributor got mix with fake also we dont know.

Authorized distribution cannot simply buy fakes, they can lose their exclusivity and face legal actions.

Quarter abit too much. 30% still acceptable. All my engine oil I bought at around 30% of RRP. All are genuine. Most recent purchase is during 12.12, liquid moly molygen 0w20 4L for rm100 only.

I had a very interesting discussion with my supplier about why online so cheap and etc...

He told me he oso sell his stuff online but but he will jack up the price coz of other costs....

Buying directly from his shop will be cheaper...

Ori stock from factory ada pelbagai jenis, grade A and B...thats true....grade A mahal one...

Macam my brake pad...I bought ori but grade B ....

Meaning u kena scam. SC only has 1 grade. That's why their price all are fixed one, especially during service.

Too cheap to be true. Simple.

shopee mall. official store. still got chance of being fake. life is tough.

What if seller sell RM200 fake one
Instant profit for them

LEL

I always thought Gred A B C are refer to other OEM like China, Thailand or Taiwan

the water is so deep

My liqui moly molygen 0w20 RM350 retail price, ayam buy rm100, ok je, ori

I have been buying spare parts by myself for more than 15 years and yes, I am learning new things everyday...

Wait till you see the computer system with all the parts number and all the schematic drawings in the computer system, lagi headache...

Sometimes even my dealer send me the schematic drawings coz he oso not sure what I am looking for...LOL...I have seen my dealer hunt for an O ring from PJ all the way to KL...just an O ring that cost RM 18....imagine that...He get it from KL then despatched to my workshop under the heavy monsoon rain....LOL...

Its a learning curve, can be fun, can be frustrating....

How bout items under shopeemal? Not ori?

I only buy from Vanli. A bit more expensive but I know they give genuine parts.

reputable dont mean shit in shopee

got fake stuff from 4.9 star with 60k ratings

seller feign ignorance, say supplier fault

When lots of china seller also can get mall status, the status is becoming low quality.

Then it is not reputable seller. My definition of reputable seller meaning those that has been in the industries for long time and have actual physical shops, like vanli.

Kalau setakat high shopee rating, then no need la

That's why people say many times
Just use mizu or bold

Else buy directly from the brand itself

u buy for rm100 can use ?

any problem to your engine ?

bro.........

ya those fake engine oil is ok or not ?

mau ori tapi tak mau go back SC kek

Of cos can use. If genuine oil also can't use, then what oil can be used?

The risk of getting fake parts when buying online is super high, in their page all got ceritified la stamping la 100% guaranteed ori la but only them know if those are genuine of fake.

One thing for sure, if the price is way cheaper compares to others then this is a redflag.

Not really. I bought toyota spare parts from vanli before. From their jalan ipoh HQ , i walked in. I was offered "clone" or ori version of a cabin filter for a Vios.
So they also sell non genuine parts. Be careful

summary: owner pakai cibic but cheapskate beli paper wrapped jiken, padan mukak

That is not clone I believe, but more to OEM. I wouldn't call OEM as non genuine as those are genuine products.

They are spare parts seller, so for sure they will stock up OEM products to sell too.

I think 80-90% parts in laz and shoppee are fake..not easy to find a genuine seller…

this foreman stupid or what?

mahle is not some cap ayam brand just call up Mahle and ask who is the authorized distributor in Malaysia and buy from them.

No authorized distributor will risk selling counterfeit compressors.

Correct. I would say >90% are fake. Hard to find genuine seller online because it's almost impossible to compete price with seller that sell fake products cheaply. So you must know from who to buy from

Just buy from Lotus if you want cheap. MNC like them wont dare sell fake oil to ruin their reputation for a few pennies. Parallel import but still ori

buy from online official store la.

Don't buy ori online, find aftermarket and expect its a good quality one.

Definitely different quality items. I compared both items side by side. If its OEM, the car manufacturer will only give 1 spec to make the part. Not multiple specs.

Something like wheel bearings , you can buy NTN branding ones instead of Honda/Toyota branded. That is OEM because NTN is the one who make wheel bearings for Honda/Toyota . You get to save a few bucks with it.

If its of different vendor from the ones car manufacturer use to build their cars in the factory, then it is 3rd party parts. Maybe better or inferior in quality. Definitely not OEM .

You are right. But abit different from my understanding. Correct me if I am wrong. Eg, honda suspension is using kayaba. So you can purchase 3 types of items:
- honda brand (which is from kyb), most expensive cos of the honda brand
- oem from kyb (exact same item), but cheaper cos without honda logo
- another oem which is not kyb, but still a genuine item. Normally this is the cheapest to cater for customer which can't afford the above 2

I think need to differentiate non-ori vs fake. Non ori is aftermarket. You buy knowing it's not made by OEM (again, OEM means original equipment manufacturer, not fake/third party).

I use non-ori third party engine air filter for my ride (Bosch) instead of Honda. I will stay away from fake filter (unknown origin).

Otoh, fake means the parts are stamped with original brand (Honda ke, Bosch ke) but is actually cap ayam.

That's my understanding.

Agree, this is my understanding too

Honda should be using Showa iinm, not kyb.

Confirm kyb, I got see my foremen dismantle before. But maybe diff model use diff brand?

You were offered. They didn't lie to you.
Scamming you would be selling you clone version claiming it's original.

You sure the car was using factory fitted absorber? Belum pernah tukar?

Confirm. Belum tukar. Actually, this is the first time I heard of showa. Most honda model use kyb one

Oem parts still acceptable as already said so…but fake original and fake oem is what currently flooding online …

go find official reseller lorr

ayam usually go buy straight to Bavarian Auto lorr..if fake fuck liaoo lorr..kek

if honda got official distributor maa

aku beli minyak mannol rm240, tapi suddenly lotus got sell for rm109, but everyone say ori jugak...aku pun jem

I've been to a workshop, and they suggested changing my absober mounting and mentioned it's OEM. But in reality, it's fake. As there's Honda stamping. So if a WS mentioned its OEM it has to be the same thing but a different brand.

TLDR, the mounting gone witin 6 months.. so just get ori. less of a hassle.

It depends on the Year/Model and batch.. Most manufacturers won't use just one supplier. But anyway. Honda has its own spec, and KYB & Showa have theirs. You change to KYB, not necessarily the same feeling you get with Honda Ori.

The same goes for brake pad. Honda ori will last longer compared to Akebono, even though its from the same company.

Intro me where to get liqui moly or any good alternative EO for old car

They already stated it out upfront (offer) to you before you decide and what is that to be careful about?

That is not scamming but rather giving options to customer which customer is the one to decide.

Kakimotor or Liqui Moly offical store on shopee.

Ayam 100% sure ayam using oem/copycat spare parts...

Even OEM has multiple tier, my car drive shaft OEM options ranging from rm150 - RM1.8K, yes the OEM price gap is farking huge, but my foreman did layout the options to me and let me decide, quality wise also of course big difference

at the end i choose ori RM2k++ for peace of mind and i wanna avoid double or triple labor charges.

yes but i think here use OEM inaccurately too.
OEM like you said mean original equipment manufacturer, means same manufacturer that provide the same part to the car brand but cannot stamp it with the car brand.
here, every third party also called OEM

where got so many OEM for the same part.

Here, OEM means copy/aftermarket/third party 😂

I use oil collected from scrap oil bottle for my crap ass waja, ori or not also dunno, so i change it like every 2000km. I already informed my friend at the besi buruk, got waja / satria / wira / gen2 / persona parts all set aside, i will come and inspect, looks good, bring home keep.

Just sold Waja for RM500 last month
Really besi buruk

gua only sent to my regular mechanic kat my area. been with him for many years. all my cars are well maintained by him. oso, include my dad previous car. he no nonsense type. he hates fake products...

It's not fake, just clone.

U dunno how and where to sell only, waja alone got approx 1200kg. With today scrap besi price at rm1 / kg. U will be getting at least rm1200. If u take out the catalytic converter (PX12) and sell separate, u can get rm200-250. For the rims, give or take RM50 each by weight as aluminium scrap. And the engine head, 2nd hand street value still can get RM200-300.

it's okay bro
my car dealer offer huge offer for trade in

But nothing beats insurance's pay out, mine still covered for 7K. Got it for 3.5K 6 months ago, driven less than 1 month carry scrap already break even. That why when i drive this waja, i drive like a complete arse and lunatic.

if kapal terbang also they can have fake parts, apa sgt la kereta

fake parts in aircraft

honda toyota u want original there are plenty of stockist selling original.

the only problem is the price of the original is expensive.

LOL... first time? Fakes are part of the economy for a long time liao. Minyak hitam, oil filter, apa2 pun ada fake.

Like motul 300V oil, local ori one is from Vietnam, but Shopee a lot sellers stock from France but as i know Motul also got oil factory in France, i bought and use before, the color and smell are same as local one. Motul 300V got that kind of wangi smell lel

deswai got ktard ask u go use bold engine oil. konlanfirm no fake one.



owai

Motul don't have ways to verify like barcode to scan?

got QR code but now QR code also can be fake.
