This is weird also. my SE told me they have everything under control, but seem like still a lot of fuel guage thing post flying around. hope this dun happen to the optra 5 and the SW.

 

Thats why we Pray, just to make it today

I think all the cars about the same now. the components and parts are sourced from about the same places. Every car manufacturer is trying to lower cost structure in the face of rising raw material cost. Steel prices up so much.

Of course they have to say everything is under control... They also said that during the initial outbreak of SARS too right? But look what happened later on...

Why must change gaskets? Leaking oil into the coolant system issit? Quite stupid right? Fix something that is not broken.

 

Yup its Stupid! to change the gasket when theres no leakage. There always a chance the new one will leak due to workmanship .

[Mivec9]

how abt when got bubbles at radiator..need to change gasket?

[Arah]

Bubbles in radiator , you should check your radiator first see if theres any faults that causes these bubbles. Bubbles in the radiator might destroy your engine bro , it will lead overheating of your engine and then only you need to change your gasket cause the old ones are screwed due to over heating.

[Mivec9]

it is a new radiator. no overheat prob. thks for advice.

Drain plug, buy one Fumoto and solve it once and for all. Tell them lifetime of vehicle no need to replace sump drian plug.

Briliant as usual but i''l only come out $$$ after my maintenance contract with them is no longer valid .

i'll do the same but since its already in the package i'll make full use of it.

Must remind them that i require all the parts that they change, just want to be safe .

Think I write a book on "A decade, Me and my Korean car" Then I document every single defect and timeline that happen. maybe MCF close shop before my book can publish

[Nerd_on_wheels]

sound like a design fault. But are all optra owner facing the same problem ? There is quite a numbe of optra on the road already, they should do a recall to fix it if its a common issue. Or is it for certain batch only ?

[Crv2004]

That is quite true. But now down already. one year about 30000Km++ this year.Drop 25% alredy. Because the new car drink a lot of petrol. 1L about 9++km only
