Cost around 1.5k at teraju megah desa rahmat

since this is an optra thread, i think its a gud place 2 ask..

my uncle got a 2nd hand optra, but the ori alloy rims r missing.. its using those ugly black steel wheels (u know, the ones that usually comes wit the spare wheel).. so he wanted 2 change it, if possible wit the original optra rims.. anybody here wants 2 sell theirs, or know of any source thats available??

btw, wats the pcd for optra anyway?? if its hard 2 fins the ori ones, i might try 2 persuade my uncle 2 change 2 some aftermarket sport rims..

Teraju Megah in Tampoi quoted me RM1350 ...Timing belt set (timing belt ori GM,2 roller bearing,tensioner bearing & 3 oil seals OEM),water pump OEM,V Belt OEM, and coolant

jetli try calling ahtap (zero one two-2126547) and ask for the quote for the item listed.. then bring them to the service centre .. they will charge u for the labor cost onli

Just sold my 2003 waja and took over this optra 1.6 from my colleague...











so far i dont see any discussion on the items below... perhaps its time we start sharing stuff about the car services and maintenance.

1. Where to source for original GMDAT parts?

2. Where to service and do maintenance (without being chopped)?

3. Possible mod's (interior and exterior)

Bro,thanks...I've contacted ahtap through mychevy forum and would be getting the items from him next mth.Teraju Megah labor is RM230 for timing belt replacement.

You can just contact Bro Ahtap for parts. He is one of the most reliable chevy members. He is incharge in sourcing the GM ORIGINAL parts for chevy members from Thailand, Korea or Spore. He will even suggest cheaper alternative depending on yur budget. Parts purchase thru him is much cheaper because he is using chevy's/GM's contact from abroad.

So far.. none of the members ever complaint about his generous help. You can just call him should you require any consultation also. He is happy to help provided he is not occupied at that time.

My advice... Avoid the Sc in PJ or Sunway if you can. You will end up paying than what you should be.

nice optra yo~

Hi guys, for your information, i got the following information from Cergazam Johor Bahru for my Chevy Optra 1.8 timing belt replacement.

Timing belt $450.00
tensioner a-timing belt $259.20
seal-cr/shf frt $64.90
seal-cm/shf frt $159.20
roller guide $285.40
water pump $793.23
o-ring w/pump $12.60
tensioner a/comp $216.60
v-belt $155.80

Instead of going to Cergazam, you can purchase the above parts and material from Tenaga Jaya (Address: No. 42, Jalan Harimau Tarum, Century Garden 80250, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia, Tel: 07-335 1888) for $1117.00. For the installation, i went to Hawk Tyres at Taman Sentosa, look for a malay guy call fadil, he was an ex-employee from Min Shin. The entire process to replace the timing belt took approx 3 hours.

Thanks for sharing bro. But based on yur quotation on Tenaga Jaya, i can guarantee that the timing belt set are not genuine. the cost is too cheap esp on the oil seal. I change oil seal 3 times and bought from Thailand. The price is already nearly RM300 for 3 pcs. The cheapo one is only RM30 per pc. My mileage is already nearly 240k and expecting 4th major service soon.

You need an expert that can differenciate the parts. We as normal owner not so familiar. Bro Ahtap is one of the guy that expert on this. Just becareful bro. Dont end up buying immitation parts.

Which SCs are you referring to?

volcar and exodus

wah... i thought Volcar and Exodus is good workshop for Optra... like this where to find reliable workshop la...

i plan to buy an Optra magnum sedan 08/09 but the price is about RM 49,000. May I know is the car worth for the price? Also, any major problem with the optra car?

Hi jackjackjack, is it a 1.6 or 1.8? if it's a 1.8, RM49k sounds like a steal (car only 2 years old). Major problems are usually electrical, so make sure you find a good workshop with the tech 2 device. Also the ATF for this car is EXTREMELY expensive (unless you're getting the 1.6), so try and find a manual transmission if you can.

Otherwise keep to the maintenance schedule and it's a good car.

Hi, thanks for the advice. It's 1.6, does it worth RM49K? BTW, what is ATF?

any bro here knows where to get optra sedan (pre lift model) interior door handle (rear driver side)....

my wife pulled and the plastic door handle snapped
