Just went for 40k service today. The free service included change of engine oil, brake oil, differential oil and gearbox oil. Also throttle and sensor cleaning plus all the usual rotate and balance of tires.

 

In addition, after checking they recommended change of battery (mine is 1 yr and 10 mths) and front brake pad (apparently worn to 3-4mm). Battery (amaron) cost 230 and brake pads 216 before GST. I think brake pad can't do outside if warranty is a concern.

 

Hi bro,

 

Change battery outside cost only $170 amaron too https://www.batteryempire.sg/amaron-car-battery-pricings-list/

 

For brake pad buy from AE subaru malaysia (facebook) only RM130-160, they can ship to sg i guess. I am using their brake pad, is good! no dif from the stock one. 

 

MI only suck your hard earning money!

Hmmm... I managed to change amaron battery at MI for $175+Gst when i sent for my 30k free servicing. Weird. How come they gave different pricing for same car...

Thanks for the recommendation. I will check out battery empire for the change.

 

Front brake pad likely will change at MI to avoid warranty issues.

Hi Bro,

 

Have you placed/keen on the brake pads ?

I am reviewing it now - pricing sound reasonable to me.

Good deal bro. But not changing brake pad at MI will have warranty issues?

Hi bro,

 

Last time I followed MI suggestion to do the aircon flush.. end up, the aircon compressor leak... change and cost me 800++!!! Don't do it!

Bro u mean after flush, next 1-2 days AC comp kaput? No leak or other defects?

 

I suspect they may use too much pressure?

 

I think the common saying of if not broke don't fix it applies to AC n all sort of flushings.. Iirc few mentioned after engine flush encounter gasket leak or other issue..

Hi,

 

the cooling coil gone (leaking, and pressure valve broke) within one week after the flush, and MI will not cover this...

I've been to most of the show rooms in the last two weeks, well except for Subaru. The XV has piqued my interest...

 

Does the AD SV come with Subaru EyeSight?

Alas, if only u hv gone to Subaru showroom, u will know the answer.

 

Clue: Do Kah Motors bring in Honda Sensing?

Happen to my old Sylphy G11 model. Tan Chong advise me to wash the aircon coil in situ. End up the coil leak , I.e. hissing sound when switched on. End up have to change the aircon coil.

Which is why certain things cannot be too clean. Another example is engine flush... Just regular change will do, never flush.

 

Try cleaning the storage tank of your toilet cistern... It will leak thereafter.
