Help need spare parts for my Hyundai Elantra 1.6

tanos — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:11:35 +0800

I drove a Hyundai Elantra 1.6 Auto. Millage 111k. 1st time timing belt change at 64k, then at 111k, the timing belt snap. I use an original timing belt sold at rm 450 at a Hyundai workshop.

The problem now is, the timing belt not even 50k but already snap. Drive my car slow, not even reaching 130 km/hr. 100 km/hr is also very seldom. The workshop says that (when i change it before at 64 k) it can last until 60 k. Damn... The belt snap when i was driving at 70 km/hr.

So now need help. Anyone knows where to look for spare parts (in Johor if available)?

Also, is Elantra engine same as Hyundai Matrix (as it has the same timing belt setup)? If it is, where can i get a half cut Matrix? I think my engine gone already.....

What other type of engine can fit to my car?

Shock Absorber - gas or liquid?

tanos — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:14:46 +0800

Why there are 2 type of shock absorbers, gas & liquid?

1) What is the benefit of using gas shock absorber?

2) What is the benefit of using liquid base shock absorber?

I heard gas based shock absorbers are used by heavier cars - 1.6 cc and above because it is stiff.

DEL 2001FP suddenly cannot detect connection

tanos — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 21:51:19 +0800

Guys, need your help. My DELL 2001FP suddenly cannot detect any connection to the video cable.

Already went to DELL Support website, but cannot find any solution.

Symptom: My monitor cannot detect the video connection.

At first it will search the type of cable connected to the monitor. But after cannot detecting any connection, it just went dead. The LED for the power still ON. When i switch ON the monitor, it still shows the "DELL ULTRASHARP" display.

Disconnect the cable, OFF the power, disconnect all power cable, ON the monitor alone still didnt help anything.

Please help me.....

Argh....
