Petrol Price naik harga.
Barang mahal.
Gen-2 Kena makan.
So, everyone "working" hard (resulted in no time to chat)


My car also faces the same issue. According to checking, it's on those "hole" where cool air come ins. Mine kena @ centre 2 hole and passenger side liao... ... no money to repair... who can give me 2-3 month bonus this december?

According to authorized service centre, we can "fix" that sound by changing the air-cond "plastic" cover on the dashboard which cost few hundreds.

But they are not able confirm and guarantee that the sound will disappear after changing and also they are not able to guarantee that the sound will not come back for a period of time.

send for cleaning?


Or install dry ice in your car:hehe:

Not sure bout your case, levis. When I sent mine for checking, they say is the aircond exit point.
Mine, at all gear also got sound... only when I feels that the "engine" is less vibrating, then the sound is less noticible.

Pillar C and D is the "pillar" at the back of the car. Pillars are the metals connecting the body to the roof.
Think of Pillar A = Front Passanger side
Pillar B = Driver Side
C + D = Backseat left and right side.

Sit in the car, and ask your bro to walk around the car. You'll fail to see your bro at certain angle , aka blind spot. We (gen2 lover) have "mastered" these blind spot and now making full use of them to cut-corners

p/s: Don try dangerous driving in malaysia (at the very least)

Another Tyre Question,

Currently using 195/55/R15 Bridgestone Sport Tourer (Basic model) . Given the outlook of the tyres, it seems that I would be changing the tyres within the next few months

I'm wondering what type of tyres and sizes Gen2-er here are using. Comment + recommendations are welcome

Also, are there a big different between .../55/... and .../50/... ? This is because some Gen2-er uses ../50/.. whereas others uses ../55/..

Thank you.

Apologies if i'm beating another dead-horse.

Planning to remain with 15" tyre (I like the stock rim).

Even then, for 15", there are 195/50/r15 and 195/55/r15 ... is the only differences between these 2 type lies on comfort (55 is more comfort compare to 50) and stock setting (55 is original setting whereas 50 is smaller than original setting) ?

Mine is 1.6 auto.
idle (N) with aircond = 1k
Drive (D) with aircond = 800-1k

If you feel like ur car is choking or wanna die when you start driving from a full-stop position, maybe it is the spark plug

I'm using Potong original spark plug , and it's in my 10k ~15k lifespan (potong ori plug = 10k)
@10k, when I ask PSC to check, they say plug still look ok and give green light to go another 5k before changing, but since then, sometime my car tend to feel like choking and wanna die. Maybe the "burning" is not complete or "burning problem" with the spark plug
