Want to compliment a Service Company recently - Aldan Motors

[Beanoyip]

Just sent my car to Aldan for regular servicing + some rectification works. Will report on the experience later.

[Beanoyip]

Servicing + air con filter + Front shock absorbers + Drive shaft head assembly (RH) including labour - $760.

 

Reasonable or not?

[Moeykf]

bro, the head assembly cost ard 200 and the rest ++ should be reasonable.

 

Servicing + air con filter + Front shock absorbers + Drive shaft head assembly (RH) including labour - $760.

 

Reasonable or not?

i am going down this saturday to change all my suspensions and rotors, pads. anyone will be there?

[Beanoyip]

I hope i don't have to visit the workshop for the next 6-12mths, except for servicing.

[Moeykf]

sounds so serious....what happened bro?

[Beanoyip]

sounds so serious....what happened bro?

 

Wear and tear parts, inevitable to change these out.

[Moeykf]

oic bro, i also have changed alot of things. ie belts, water hoses, water pump. now is suspensions and brakes.

[Funkyjazz]

How do you all know its time to change the parts? Because Aldan said so right?

 

I also change alot of parts as per Aldan's advice. Unfortunately, they miss out the most importance parts, my turbo valve air leak. When I tell them the car not so responsive, they said no problem.

 

I went to Autospritz, the mechanic test drive and confirm its leak and change the one-way valve. Everything is fine now.

 

The next thing to check is the diverted valve. Anyone know where to buy the forge DV? Still available?

Hi,

 

I did a check on this auto spritez they change their address to eunos right? Just wan to confirm that I looking at the right place. I just purchase a 1.8t superb the block head gasket leak, so wondering anyone know what's the damage for it. Anyone care to share what the maintenance cost mileage for about 110k.

Just gotten myself a 2nd hand Skoda Octovia Tour 1.6M

 

Just wanna check..

 

1) how to deactivate the security alarm?

 

2) Previous owner linked it with 2 key .. so now i got to press on 2 remote to unlock if not security system will go on... or is there any shop which can unlinked it?

 

 

 

[Funkyjazz]

Hi Snphen,

Yes, Auto spritz is at Eunos.

 

Hi Kayheng,

I believe you need to link to the software Vagcom to deactivate it.

[Moeykf]

nope bro, i changed it as and when i feel it is necessary.

 

how to tell that the one-way valve is leaking? Apologies i cant help on the DV because i forgotten i bought it from who.

 

my overall cost for maintenance at present mileage(115K) is around 4K - 5K. ride is still great and good as new.

[Funkyjazz]

Hi Bro,

 

When one-way valve or DV leak, you will feel loss of power or not so responsive as before. I just change the one-way valve.

[Moeykf]

ok bro thanks. I just checked for leaks about 2 months ago and all is ok.

 

its time we catch up again. will call you when the time is right.

 

cheers.

[Kayheng]

so i need to go down skoda itself??

 

I mean now my key got 2 remote.. the other one i think is from 3rd party... also must go down skoda?

 

 

[Skodasales]

Bro,

 

you could lock with the remote, that way you only need to press it once, Don't use the key. Alternatively, head down to Specialist Audio at Bukit Merah Lane to have it removed. They did Skoda cars before, this will not be a problem. Rgds

[Funkyjazz]

Yes bro, we should catch up 1 day. Long time no see.
