new owner to ncp93 2010. Have some questions.
Is 120k mileage requires major servicing?
Cold start sometimes will hear screeching noise which i think it's probably the fan belt old. Can recommend any place to replace this part and water pump as well?

Thanks

Technically, 40k intervals are all major.

11yrs old NCP 42 aircon suddenly no longer cold.
Compressor changed 2 years ago. Shouldn’t breakdown so soon eh?

Aircon gas depleted, maybe.

Compressor is recon or new?

Go workshop check.

Other parts of air con system could have corroded and cause the gas to leak.

I was actually quite proud of the aircon capability considering it’s a really old machine.
Anyway brought to JS Auto in Toh Guan and diagnosed some magnetic pulley thingy kaput. Damage $240.
Hopefully can last for the next 3.5 years.

Yup that magnetic clutch

Yup that magnetic clutch

And now after replacing it that’s a loud screeeeccccchhhing sound being emitted when the engine is started.
The mech seems to be struggling to rectify.

Check the a/c belting?

 

[keithchan]

Check the a/c belting?

Says the sizing of pulley seems to be off vs the compressor which was changed few years back!?
Now he’s gonna dismantle the compressor to verify. Headache

Hi all, wanna check how much would it cost to repair side mirror? Mine right side mirror kena hit when I was parked. Folding mechanism still works, but can't adjust the mirror. Can hear the motor when adjusting but mirror can't adjust at all. Side casing all cracked (mirror is fine).

What's the estimated damage? NCP93 btw.

hello guys , driving a 11th y/o card , previously was opc for the first 10.
1) recently noticed that when the fuel indicator reaches 50% mark, the mileage clocked is lower than previously. i guess this is normal due to wear and tear? does that mean that uplorry soon?
2) any idea how to reset alarm if i use key to manually unlock? 2009 model has no transponder.
3) where to duplicate the remote ah? cos the backup remote BM provides has loose wiring and want to completely change the remote (unless there is another option)

thanks !

Actually to ans ur first qns factors affecting fc are alot to start with frankly speaking mine every time oso diff... Unless u tell me the roads u take the traffic lights u wait is 100% same everyday den we can continue... If not i always look at last bar how much mileage it covers... U can only do ur best every tank u pump.... Unless u tell me ur usual is ard 500 den skali one day it become 400 den might be something else...

If i nv remember wrong there shld be a button or sort of thing for u to press which is below ur steering wheel near to the door. Try see if there is anything there...
