Car suddenly blew hot aircond even after moving.

sean6219 — Thu, 03 Oct 2024 13:46:32 +0800

Sorry I am not well versed with car issue. This morning when I went to work, I had to stop by roadside to pickup a work call. My car suddenly blew warm air and the temperature spiked to one bar below the highest. Thinking its just fan issue, I continue driving as usual straight to workshop since its not far away but the aircond did not improve. Went to workshop to change the radiator hose since its leaking as per my foreman suggestion and when he tried to put water into the radiator opening, he said it was coughing up water, meaning some part of the engine was already bend (casket bengkok/putus). He said my fan is working fine. Does this mean I need an engine overhaul? Car is already 10+ years. Saga flx.

alternator belt squeaks after going through flood

sean6219 — Thu, 19 Nov 2020 17:04:48 +0800

Was driving when the heavy rain and flood occurs, hence the squeaking appeared out of nowhere. It was very loud at first but I thought it would dry out hence dint bother about it. On that night itself, the squeaking wont go away although it managed to quiet down quite a lot.

Today morning went to check about it, still the same but squeaking is not constant and the sound is considered mild or low imo. Read some articles and vidoes and decided to pour some water on the belt, the squeaking disappeared even when I drove it only for it to come back again when I tried to drive it again after half an hour.

From what I have gathered, it seems it could be either
1) Pulley misallignment
2) Belt tension is loosened

Check the belt and so on, it looks fine to me. No cracking, no glazing. The sound primarily coming from my driver side if I am able to pinpoint correctly. Car is Toyota Innova if its important.

But still I need some sifus to help me check if whatever I am experiencing and deducing is correct. If thats the case, how much would the repair cost normally be to tighten the belt or to readjust the pulley?

Will post a photo of the pulley when I have the chance

Saman from PDRM, need to attend court.

sean6219 — Sun, 25 Jun 2017 23:11:17 +0800

Hey guys, i got a saman from PDRM stating I need to attend a court hearing by next week. When I first get this, the tow truck person told me as long I pay rm300 before the court hearing, I dont need to attend. However when I take out to read, only now I see the btm part of the letter stating if compoundable, I have to pay it by end of may. The letter never say is it compoundable/non compoundable or the officer in charge during that time forget to circle it. The question is

1. Should I pay through MYEG right now and dont attend the court?
2. If I pay through MYEG right now, do I still need to attend the court?
3. Or should I just attend the hearing and ask for Rayuan instead?

My offence is lost control. Car skidded and hit stone divider during heavy rain due to sudden break of the front car.

Proton Saga SV AC leaking gas sound

sean6219 — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 20:11:08 +0800

Hello sifus, need some help. Was driving normally without problem and then parking.

After few hours to take car and leave, a/c is giving me weird sound and no cool air is given. When I switch the a/c button off, the sound disappear. However, turning a/c on and off still no cool air. Went to see mechanic, say what no gas but in the end couldnt identify it. When leaving time, turning the a/c button on no longer give leaking sound but still very hot the air. Fan is normal as temperature did not rise the whole time.

Not sure what to do with it. I have warranty for my car till end of this year though.

Use paypal exchange rate or bank exchange rate?

sean6219 — Mon, 29 Feb 2016 17:16:08 +0800

Was doing some research on the net and most of them told me not to use paypal exchange rate as it is higher so I decided to go with bank exchange rate instead. Upon paying for the goods from ebay, I realized bank exchange rate was significantly higher and I was shocked. Anyway, anyone has experience to share whether to use paypal or bank exchange rate? Mine is CIMB debit card btw.

Is POS Malaysia lying to me?

sean6219 — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 11:28:47 +0800

Hello, recently I ordered something from ebay from Italy and it was sent by the dealer on 14th of April. Their tracking system stopped updating on 17th, which I assumed it is being shipped. On 23th of April, I checked the POS Malaysia and it says

23 Apr 2015, 10:49:00AM Item sent to MPC PMIH (KLIA) Italy

I am not sure how it works but isn't POS Malaysia only able to update their system once the mail arrives Malaysia because if they never receive it, how are they going to know and update bout it?

The reply I was given by POS Malaysia was "Good morning. Please be advised that the mentioned shipment has left Italy on 23.04.2015 but has not arrived to Malaysia as to date."

I am not sure bout that so I need sifus to help me this noob.

Car got scratched and paint peel. How 2 repair?

sean6219 — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 04:47:25 +0800

Hello, I just recently got a new car and due to some unfortunate event, my car got scratched. The area near just above the back tire got a slight paint peel, meaning that the area is abit rough and black in colour due to the paint peeled off( I guess) and the other areas are not that bad,just that there is a layer of plastic sticking out on the affected areas which will come off when I rub it.

Just wanna ask, what can I do to repair it? And generally how much does it cost? The areas affected is from the back passenger side till the half of the car boot.( Sorry if I cant describe it well). Just one straight line and the height of the line is around 3 to 5 cm maximum I guess.
