richard_crl032 6th Gear July 31, 2019 Share July 31, 2019 If u are driving NA, no need to think, Cusco. The NA stock cost so much is cuz of self levelling function. I've been trying to see it work but no luck even after loading my boot. Not really necessary, so if I were to change, I'll change Cusco. For XT not so straightforward cuz XT stock damper is way cheaper. But of cuz u get the adjustability if u change to cusco. It whether u wanna fork out a few hundred more. I would think it's worth it. Hi ZP, Interesting .. know suspension set up of fna and fxt are different but din know FNA is self levelling type and cost so much. Cheers.

Richard I actually also didn't know initially. It was when I first installed the WRX ARB when chatting with Ah Keong about switching to pink springs then I know. He reminded to get the correct one for NA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycar1234 1st Gear August 1, 2019 Share August 1, 2019 Hi mycar1234, How much is the selling price of the aircon filter? MI probably cost you $50, online you can get it as low as $7. Heard someone comment non original air filter may cause your car warranty to void. Anyway they won't know that unless you ask for the service.

Chucky2007 Turbocharged August 3, 2019 Share August 3, 2019 I went to car service recently and request them to blow the aircon filter as their selling price really too expensive. 2 weeks later when I got my new filter and changed it myself, shock that the filter was so dusty, first thing in my mind was they never did it. I wrote to complain and after a month of investigation the customer service called to explain that the workshop told them they do did the job, the dust was collected within 2 weeks as it is possible I went to dusty environment. I am not expert on this, but ask me to believed in this answer I really can't accept it.I got those aircon filters from Taobao and they are so cheap... I change every 6 months. Even those selling at shops are like $45.. not expensive items and for health reason should change 1-3 filter a year depending on how dusty is the environment. Never just blow it..

Really disappointed when I noted they didn’t perform the job(service slip indicated they performed the job) and give me a funny excuse! Surely will change the air filter every 10k myself in future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie07 Neutral Newbie August 8, 2019 Share August 8, 2019 Hi Alfie, less than a year refers to 1 month or 11 months? If its the latter, than i would say no harm doing a first round of valve cleaning instead of letting the carbon buildup at later stage. You'll also get a before and after report which will also let you know the state of the carbon buildup at say 1yr. Maybe can share your report here for knowledge sharing. Hi Orixy, Mine is 11 months old. since my ride is FNA, will there be any significant changes? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orixy 2nd Gear August 8, 2019 Share August 8, 2019 Hi Orixy, Mine is 11 months old. since my ride is FNA, will there be any significant changes?Hi Alfie, i think a lot depends on your driving style (relaxed or aggressive) and the maintenance care regime. For a 11months old FNA, yours should be using the FB20B engine which is not a direct injection engine. Meaning fuel are still being sprayed onto the intake valves and you're spared from the clogged valves of direct injection engine like the FXT's FA20DIT. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seldom will touch that area unless your glove compartment is quite empty as need to remove that to access the aircon filter. Just change yourself every 6 months will do, doesn’t have to be every 10k unless the environment the car is parked is extremely dusty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha...People in china use it themselves for months, if they can use it in their horrible road and air conditions, i dont see why we cant use it here in sg. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
