Mkl22 Twincharged December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 If rear main seal leak only, it depends how bad. Anyway will not cost 4K. RMS leak can still drive la. Unless it drips a puddle. A couple of drips a day still ok to tahan till scrap or sell off. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mersaylee Supersonic December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 Coolant leak can ignore immediate repair but not oil or fuel leak. Someone can torch your car by a flick of a lighted ciggy onto the road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdash Supersonic December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 actually engine oil leak is quite a common wear and tear symptom for old car... as many of the bros here suggested, you should do the repair, but get a 2nd or 3rd quote... 4k is really chop your head one...

Engine oil leak- not possible by lighted cigarette. The flash point is 400*F. Fuel leak - yes. it is possible. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be AD workshop... these AD Service Agent parang very sharp. They anyhow hantam... brake pads 50% also will ask the mechanic to change and inform sotong car owner that it has to be changed. Like one colleague of mine -drives a Phewgoat ---> kanna chop carrot $8k to change some dunno what engine cam sealant. Sipeh lut Robert he is. Told him go get 2nd opinion, he sotong sotong said better let AD do. Sometimes some of our sinkies frds are the one who encourages workshops to sharpen their parang for the next customer in line -- coz they never question workshop, get 2nd opinion & believe that any expensive service is good service ---- super sohai. Thus now it becomes the norm to charge sky high for car repair.... sigh.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
