Ct3833 Supersonic July 2 Author Share July 2 I think he was referring to the piston(s) hitting the cylinder head, likely some repiar was carried out before and the measurement and adjustment were not done properly 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some used car dealers advertise "easy loan, bankruptcy, jobless also can approve", wah 😨 i feel like applying but i scare i will become the first one to be rejected by them.😱 Edited July 2 by Ct3833 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 40k is for new engine. What I meant is glc typically sells for around 100k overseas new. Engines are not that expensive. Alot of the cost goes to labour. You cant compare a m2 engine with the 4 piston in the glc. My friend replaced his civic engine for around 7k. Kena flood also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stomper said: "If I sell this car to a subsequent buyer due to repair fatigue, this car dealer will again 'certify' it as a grade A car, passing the problem onto another unsuspecting buyer while pocketing the profit.” This sounds very righteous but I think the hidden meaning and likely translated to mean "If I sell this car back to Carro, I lugi because they already profit from me a fat margin when I bought and I lugi again because I still have a loan. But if someone can settle all this, too bad for the next subsequent buyer." 2 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER-3682 Twincharged July 2 Share July 2 Most likely Engine ''Piang'' is because Owner go to reflash the ECU & get more Power..also most likely the Tuner removed the Revs Limiter...so Engine Speed over the Redline. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe is take high loan buy atas Conti Merc, and this carro know the car is problematic sure will low ball him a buy back.
