Keep us updated. If it makes you feel better, those are wear n tear items. Sooner or later need to be replaced.

Anyway, planning to send to AD or trusted workshop?

My alternator died also recently... OEM replacement -SGD $360 :(

 

Quite a scary experience. 

 

Started out with the battery indicator turning on for a whole night but it went away after revving for a while.

 

The next morning, battery indicator still on.. Then along the way.. ABS light came up... Followed by a whole load of lights on the panel.

 

Out of the blue, when I press the accelerator.. no power.. then.. that's it.. all black out on the display panel.

 

Towed to the workshop, change OEM Alternator.

 

2009 Exora.

 

Just sharing experience.

true, I don't think there is any tell sign for a dead alternator..

 

actually I was told recon alternator is very common and very cheap, just changing of the copper wiring internally.

So far, thank god, my car hasnt suffered from any of these faults that can cause the car to stop moving. even when everytime i go servicing i asked the workshop to help me check the condition of the car, i always hv that slight uneasiness that something will die out of the blue since the car is more than 7yrs old already.

I nvr go to proton. i always go to hawk tayar. mayb i should go to proton the next time. the only time i went was the 1st servicing after the free servicing given. n the cost is higher compared to hawk n they recommended to do this do that which when looking at it now, quite a few were not required at that time.

Yr car weekend car?

 

I send for 100K servicing - ask Gelang Patah SC (Aggressive) perform check on brake as got squeak sound.

 

They confirm my front brake 1 side using OEM causing issue

Open rear brake, drum type ... thickness almost flat - at most last 1-2month. Play safe - changed ...

 

Best visit Proton SC (service center) for full detailed check up

Used to b weekend..but now normal. Mileage close to 80k. For brakes i don see a difference which shop checks. I mean, it shouldnt b so hard to check right? N also when i keep asking them, they said if need to change of cos they will change. Who dont wanna make money. Which is quite true la.

I'm not driving proton cars but previously all go hawk tyre. Felt that they may be slightly more ex than other workshops but feel the workmanship better.

 

Eg had some throttle response issue. AD in singapore say coolant system got problem need 1.5k to 1.8k sgd to overhaul and need 2 weeks to disassemble everything to confirm. Hawk tyre boss tell me need to clean filter with chemical and charge me rm80 for the chemical and labour. Settle in less than an hour and solves the problem (at least the problem never surface anymore after that)
