common sense... ur alignment din lari... why tangan so gatal wan to align le....

But I didn't perform any alignment before since day 1. Shouldn't I do at least once? How reliable the factory alignment?

my vivi alignment seems to lari a bit oso... it's like when on the straight road i nd 2 turn de steering a bit, if not it'll go 1 side but that time i service and check they say ntg wrong... how 2 determine when i nd 2 realign de alignment?? can some1 plz explain??

are u testing it on the REALLY FLAT road??? un-even surface will tend to lari lol

test ur car allignment on real flat surface such as car park under basement...

Test it on a flat road/floor (prefer to be pure flat). Put your gear to D and accelerate to a certain speed. Release your hands from the steering and let it go for certain distance to observe if your car is forwarding in a straight line. Otherwise, your alignment is most probably not good if your steering is starting to skew from the neutral baseline point.

By the way, is there a service called engine wash? Is it advisable to do it?

if u been sometimes not doing alignment and balancing, then its time to do so since u said got feel ur steering pull to one side.

for me, i do my alignment and balancing once every 6 mnth. or if serious like u said pull to one side (apply to all the road as some road usually is designed to be a degree lower to left as to avoid water from stattionary on the road) then better go and do so.

even u hit a big patholes also will cause ur alignment out and if serious, dented ur rim.

happy motoring

tht day at the detailing shop, i saw the staff is washing the engin....

spraying the engin bay....

I heard from Perodua Service Agent that the engine wash will use or spray some kind of chemical to remove stubborn dirts.

You know how much? Would it cost in the range of RM 100?

aiyo.... actually no need engin wash 1 ma....

every weekend, mop your engin lol... tht's sufficient already

Mop? How to mop? Any pictorial guides?

By the way, renewed my road tax and insurance today. RM 1k gone and my wallet is bleeding.

They changed my insurance company from AXA to Uniasia.

Nvr reli go n test till lidat la... Juz while normal driving can feel it lari when on the straight road... It' been lidat for some time d and i realise it occurs most of the time while i'm driving on straight roads (even in the parking basement) but not very serious ler... Juz lari a bit, bout 10-15 degree... Juz wanna know when's the time 2 realign it coz some1 said if a bit nvm rite... btw the place i'm staying here (bkt tinggi) quite a lot of potholes, that's y de alignment lari so fast, my car 7 months old oni...

It's really hard to find straight roads which are flat in Malaysia. Most of the roads got loop holes and bumpers.

oh yea... my dad oso ask me to wash the engine bay... can i juz straightaway spray water inside?? i mean except for the area where the spark plug and black oil tank is located... usually i juz wipe the top part oni, so de bottom actually quite dirty...

Go ahead. no problem 1. But just avoid those electronic stuff. Like ur battery and other electronic accessory if u got la.

ok, thx a lot... tink i'll juz unplug de +/- of the battery while washing to be on the safe side

Don't unplug ur battery for nothing. By doing it, u will reset ur ECU. All Air fuel ratio will be reset.

ur money ma~
i got no comment~
lazy being bash later lo~
