Moving Out.

It has been a tiring weeks now as I'm moving out to new rented house...

So far I've managed to complete my room painting and shifted necessary items into it. The installation of air conditioning unit, water heater and additional wiring works has been completed.

From today onwards, I need to start and complete all the painting works at living hall, walkway and another room as well. Hopefully I can move all the things by end of this week.

Luckily I'm moving from 3rd floor to Ground floor, same block.. hihi.

Life goes on...

More things to come ;p

Perodua MyVi EZ - Rectified..

Its been a while since I did something to our MyVi and this week, I take it for a spin and man.. there is a lot need to be done.

First, the front absorber need to be replace, tyre is about time for change out, but amongst all, the wheel vibrates when braking does makes me really frustrated. The reason is simple, the problem should have been rectified since both front disc and caliper assembly has been replaced under warranty few months back...

Well things happens, what matters now is ensure that the ride is in good condition even though it travels light since we have bought Elantra X20 last year.

This is what I did last week..

Wheel and rubber change.. Upgrade to 15"

Stock wheel & rubber, 175/65/R14


New Driftmaster wheel comes with Silverstone M5, 195/55/R15

New Disc brake, replaced under warranty..

This time, they change only the disc and not the whole assembly. Tested for few days now, so far ok.

New front absorber - ..

Pro-ride absorber dual valve specs just like Monroe.. recommended by a friend, I give it a try.

The ride feels better and safer.. ;p

Hyundai Elantra / Avante X20 - A year old.

It has been a year since I bought my first ever brand new car..Hyundai Elantra X20 or Elantra HD, 2.0 CVVT.

After the road tax and insurance is renewed at KB223, I sent it for a body and engine wash, which included leather seat cleaning and other panel as well. It cost me RM120.00 but after seeing the results, its worth paying for. Now the interior looks brand new again.. reborn after a year.
Consider it anniversary gift to my X20 (My wife called it "Cinta") ;)

Life goes on and on..

Hyundai Elantra / Avante X20 - Wheel Bolt Replacement Update

I went to a tyre shop this afternoon just to check whether there is another bolt broken after I've replaced it.

Fewh.. So far so good, hopefully the problem is solved..

Hyundai Elantra / Avante X20 - Wheel Bolt Replacement

I went to Hyundai Service Centre this morning to replace 1 of last weeks' broken wheel bolt.

Thought that the bolt change out would be simple and fast but it isn't so.
While loosing the wheel nut, one of it stuck and as the mechanic tries to undo it, the bolt broken. Hmm another bolt need to be replaced, at the same wheel (Front, Driver side).It doesn't make sense, two bolts broken within a week for a car that less than a year old? Is it really due to over tightening of the nut as claimed for the 1st bolt? if so, how come the same problems occurred when it is installed by the claimant it self? or it is simply because of the bolt itself? Low quality of material?Puzzled with the outcome, and after seeking an advise from a friend, I've decided to change all 5 bolts instead of just 2. At least I can rest assure that all bolts are brand new and the same problems will not be repeated again.I have also asked the mechanic to check on the remaining wheels and it is observed that all the bolts to the remaining wheels are in good condition and still shining compared to the one that having the problem now.

I discussed the issue with the Service Manager, we agreed that I have to pay for the parts and he will not charge on the labour since this part is not covered under warranty.

As I thought it is over and I can wait and rest while they re-install the components, another problem comes out and this time it is the bearing. The bearing jammed when the try to press the spool with the bolt to its place. I could not bear the news and just leave it to them to resolve it...

Bro Ritzzuan.. Thank you for the advise.
