I tried cold start my car . Initially when warming can see some faint white smoke , later on can see exhaust discharging drips of water. But after warm up no more occurrence. Should be normal

Just an update . After 1 week of dryer , check my expansion tank and water level at low. Appreciate if you guys have any recommendation on workshop specialize in missing coolant.

Thanks in advanced

Maybe u should join your car's fb or Whatsapp. They may know who can solve your problem effectively rather then randomly going to different workshop for different opinions.

Suzuki? Dropping coolant level is normal. Check the spare tank cap and rubber seal. I've changed the rubber seal and now coolant doesn't disappear that quickly.

in regards to changing of new tyres, u guys normally change tyre in JB or SG?
any recommend tyre shop in JB or SG? :o

btw, if tyre thread still good, what is the lifespan of a tyre typically that you must change? 3yrs? or 5yrs?

Using 15", got my Toyo TR1 from U Tyre. Price is reasonable.

Grill? Could be previous owner paid for plastidip. You can check if other owners want to do a 1-1 swap.

AC better let WS diagnose. Book an appt with Sheng Auto.

Fuel pump. What symptoms? You can bring to CarClick to diagnose.

Honda accessories... Best if you know what you want. If not, you can drop by Super Power @ Larkin to have a look. Park with Caution, you can kenna saman there.

Coolant level dropping is never normal. There is a leak somewhere.

Thanks TSmonster, will replace the expansion tank as recommend.

Do you smell something nasty coming from the aircon vents when you set to a higher temperature? Could be a leak in the heater core.

Sheng Auto can't do fuel pump, bring to CarClick to diagnose. May or May not be fuel pump.

Nope, air con smells normal. With regards to the air con, Rambo actually bypass the heater so my temperature is always fixed at max cold. I will replace the coolant reservoir and also revert the heater functions this weekend and update again.

This thread is quite unexciting. The only 3 workshops that are consistently recommended are:

1. Carclick
2. Sheng Auto
3. BTS Spraypaint (despite SG pricing!)

Can we share personal experiences of workshops apart from the above 3?

You will find SG prices similar to BTS. Don’t bother.

1&3, no try before.

2: I usually make appt first. Be the first car for them to do in the morning. Depending on the job, i am ok to wait while they do up the installation. Young boss thats share alot. If you feel bored, can request for his ride for a spin at nearby.
So far am happy with them.
Some dudes here said have to wait even though made appt, then personally be the first car in the morning with appt.
