Er.... DIY still leaking ???

P.S.  I bz looking at the Knipex. 🤣

last video clip is before plugging

wrong sequence, shouldn't put it at the end

I tested with soapy water before and after plugging

that one is my first knipex bought 19 years ago, now I have a drawer full of knipex 😁

don't DIY, pay $10 let people do it

it's not worth the effort 😅

You still bother to repair. I will change tire.

you can see it is almost botak

but the wet grip is still very good

still can stretch for a month or two 😅

Success!

pressure no drop after 3 days (380km)

I pumped a little higher at 265kpa after puncture repair (normal 260kpa)

can tell my wife to print leaflets to distribute around the neighbourhood

Gnahp's $10 tayar plugging service

24/7 at your doorstep! (conti cars $2 surcharge)

Hmm...save 10 dollah not worth the effort...get 10 dollah worth the effort...? 🤔

Conti or not...I tink better charge another 2 dollah to make printing and distributing worth the effort...😁

hit some object while taking a bend just now

didn't see it coming and didn't know what I hit too

the bang-bang (left front and rear) was so loud till I thought the wheels exploded

found a 35mm long split on the sidewall of the front tyre, rear tyre is ok, no air leak from both

only when I review the dashcam footages, I saw something look like a timber lying on the road

suay....

In showroom I also peep under to see if it’s torsion bar or multi link. 😂

I think for some vw Audi models they have both torsion and multi link as options on the same chassis.

went tayar shop just now

both wheels a bit out of round on the inner rim, expected as they are weaker than the outside rim which is supported by the spokes

sent for repair

now the car has chapalang loan wheels, chapalang diameter, chapalang offset, chapalang tyre and chapalang profile on the left side

damn funny and weird to drive

it is quite subtle, I couldn't feel it by hand when I lied on the floor, can't tell from naked eyes too

only visible when they spin it on the balancing machine
