toyota coolant is red ... but why is the coolant missing, leaking?

its the reserve tank empty or still got a little? if still got a little should be ok wan, coz thats a reserve tank only ...

is the reserved tank .. i think last time the p2 forgot to refill it , damn ... as i will goin for a long journey , so just add in , scare la ... nowadays the wallet is so tight .. i willing to pay little than a big damage....

i ask my fren to buy the coolant , toyata one , the silly guy went to p2 and bought (RM 13.++) a bottle. Never mind, still can be use. RM 13 ++ for small botle of coolant ... seems like quite expensive....

seriously recomended ... if u open up the glove compartment, the cooling coil is there, before i added it - i idnt care, but recently when i was servicing my aircond, i opened it up, there was elaves, lots of dirt, the filter is just black ...

now u might be lucky and be driving it syiok syiok but if ur cooling coil dies, then to change it and the workmanship is gonna be crazy ...

my old mans Altis kena ... was first quoted for 1.2k ...

sometimes when your alar goes off and u cannot switch off the sounding alarm

check under Section 2, Locks and Alarms ... sounds confusing but i think its ignition switch to on and step on brake repeatedly ...

CODE
Starter Cut: Output break off signal to the starter circuit when key to ON. This fucntion only activated when the door or hood is opened without keyless unlock. This system reset when IG SW change to ON and step on the Foot Brake with unlock condition

is it, but the grant can be taken out wan mah ...  temporarily, like my other car,  i tookkit out say wanna renew, then they say must return, when i return the other person say keeppit la, no need to bring back

my other car i give my agent do wan last time

but now i wanna do it myself ... now that i have paid my insurance ... i wanna go renew in post office ... but dunno what to bring ...

but if renew in myeg, i filllup the form last nite, the details are all there, my insurance is renewed according to record, but they are close for raya till 5th ....
*
So for renew of insurance no need grant right ? But renew raodtax need the so called 'grant' ? Issit the one with Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan with ur car specification one ? I think we have only photocopied one.

I also heard need to take the grant from bank, but how to mention to them ? Who to called ? How to get the grant ? How is the grant look like ? Can anynone show it here ?


earl-ku, which insurance u took ?

to renew insurance - no need
to renew road tax at post office - yes
get agent to renew for you - no need
get bank to renew for you - no need
renew at myeg - no need
to get the grant - go to the branch where ur loan is issued, sign some papers, with ur ic and they will give it to you ...

the car grant is in pink, pink slip?

Ohhh okok,thank you notworthy.gif
But normally right,when I was gear 4 and I still at 70km/h and the rpm still below 3.5k la,issit ok ? 1 more,really need to gear 4 to gear 5 when come to 70km/h ??
*
normaly at gear 4 wont hit 3.5k rpm, at most 2.5 k only , to be specified is 2.3 k only.

Not neccessary need to changed when hit 70km/p , for example, when goin up hill , if u changed at 70 km/p to 5th gear , i think ur car wont move further already, maybe i think 90 km/p for 4th gear stll acceptable.

If u wan ur fc to be good, i think changed gear at 2.3 k rpm at constant speed will be just nice , even city driving also can achive 500 km per tank. My personal experiences for 1.0 manual, for auto i think a bit hard.

Of cos, u will expect ur car pickup will be slower la , sometimes, those ppl behind u will warning you also la .. Ha ha ...

no they din do the service. rugi la if do the service.

A bit wasting time to go twice la. because they go and write the wrong mileage
the guy said something like they used a different (better?) oil so its every 10k km instead of 5k km.

viva is different from myvi ,

viva services every 10k after 3 services onwards , while myvi services every 5k ....

don know why la ... this is what they told me ....

normally they will fix it for u FOC. i've encountered it before also.

ur pwer window also having the same problem b4 ?
do u know how do they fix it ? I scare they will make things worst cos it is not warranty but just on the spot fixing .


I remember last time my safety belt got problem(when car on the slope, the safety belt will stuck), the SC at ss2 also din sent for warranty, just fix it on the spot.
I saw few guys come and discuss while opening the cover, they tried to bend something , touch here touch there . Finally after few try , it din stuck anymore. But so far i still don know it is safe to use or not. I never tried emergency breaking. But i guess when u breaking, the safety belt should stuck one right ? After u release the break , it will back to normal. Is the any other way to check if the safety belf is working ?
