Long time never post ...

Recently found out one problem on the viva. Driver side much lower to ground compare to passenger side. I think about 1-2 cm. It is because i always drive alone, seldom pickup any passenger, lead to more pressure on the driver side, weakened the suspension on both front and behind of the driver side ?

Do you guys having the same problem ? Or it happen to all car or only viva or only mine ... Cos i am quite heavy , 90++ kg ...

Hahaha...

hmm... I dunno but let me share one thing with you all. It happens last year. I suppose to attend my friend's wedding that night. While i was preparing myself... suddenly there's a call. Someone ask me to pickup the bride's family. So i say ok without thinking much. As i reach there, i realise a problem. A REAL BIG problem. Total of people, 4 adults & 2 small kids. All 3 are real big size at least 95kg and above  shocking.gif  i say,"Oh mine..." We got no choice but follow the plan. I believe not only me but they also worried on how they going to fit into my car. But somehow it works. As they sit in... i can feel that my viva-chai sink down  sweat.gif i just keep my cool.. trying to ignore the problem. As we are in a hurry, i try to speed up a bit but phailed and instead i can hear my car's bottom screaming ... screeching.... all the way to the restaurant. When comes the bump, lagi worst. Everyone in the car says Oops! My heart's hurt.

Thank God we safely arrived. Then as i came out fro my car.. my aunt who also just arrived came to me. Saying that how come my car so low... almost hit the ground while i'm driving! She's is right behind my car. Then she know when she saw the passenger of my car.

One thing i worried after that is am i the one who going to fetch them back as well. As a lot of ppl know my situation... they arrange someone else to do it instead and instead of 1 but 2 cars for them. I also heard that during early wedding march, the car that fetch them also having technical problem and that's why i have to fetch them to for dinner.  sweat.gif

Phew! My Viva-chai survive  flex.gif  Fro that onwards, i become picky in choosing whom to sit in my car  tongue.gif

viva owners, wondering anyone had change their side mirror or know what's the cost of a new side mirror without signal light on it not?

my colleague's viva had been in an accident and her side mirror were totally banged off by a lorry. luckily didnt hit the door but just the side mirror. yet, it's still a bad damage lor. 

there's a workshop she went to and being quoted rm400+rm30 labour! i would say that's a crazy price. rm400 for the mirror?! wtF!  vmad.gif  got such expensive or not. walau... i asked her to go off and let me go ask around for prices first.

i doubt it would cost that much. wondering anyone knows the price of one? thx!

hi guys..
just wanna ask something for my friend..
recently my friend la.. buy a new viva premium..
after 1st service he say his car like "senget" one side..
then i help see..
front view left side more senget compare to right side..
then use finger count..left have 3-4 finger where right have 4-5 finger..
should be same right.. no ppl seat.. then no load behind or left side...

is absorber problem??
claim??
*
mine also got the same problem .... also diff by one to two finger ..driver side is lower.. but i only found out after ayear ..
some said is because i too heavy and always drive alone , hence driver side will be tear and wear more faster ...

some said its defect ... now already 3 months since then , i still din do anything yet cos no time....

next time go services only ask them .... worst come to worst , change a performance suspension...

if u wan to repaint , maybe go outside shop better.

even u send to sc, they will send to another shop...and the quality is poor u can imagine, i got mine side door repaint b4+replacing the door, about 1.7k.

if look nice when u got it, but soon u discovered, the paint is not solid compare to original .

any soft knock will dent the paint.

anywhere, repaint a door is about 300 .

fyi, unpainted door without acc is 500.

SC--> SS2 , don go there , only go there for services, not others.

Anyone here has changed your absorber or spring ?

Thinking of doing something to my suspension because my suspension now is unbalanced(left and right side not balanced) , not sure is because of absorber or spring ? Will it cause impact for type ? or stabality of the car , dangerous ?

Anyone has any idea on absorber and spring ?
Did it comes together, meaning if i changed on of those , it must change both ?

Price :
Brand :
Which setting :

Don think wanna change OEM type again , cos not tahan for my weight.
Or any brand can fit with any car ?

Hi there!

Near Miharja Condominium...that's where I'm staying. I parked right at the back of the shoplots. Hmmm...I parked at the back pf the shoplot and the place is kind of quiet especially at nite.
By the way, last time I worked at Pantai Cheras Medical Centre, I had a colleague that drives a Kembara. Parked somewhere near to the community police station, and his car gone in the morning! Same area! Near Miharja Condominium. IMAGINE THAT! Nowadays...HAIZZZ.

Anyway, who's willing to give me a lift to get my car at the Perodua Service Centre? (near Bandar Tun Razak there, I think near Taman Connaught there).

Regards, Joey.

p.s: My car number plate is AGH 9585...keep an eye on it! I'm gonna apply for the Condominium season parking after I get my car back! At least I can park my car in a compounded area. Keep my fingers crossed for it.

war , no need to post ur car no gua, i think u r the 1st ... gg
