I’ve imported the first generation of the Honda grace hybrid GM4 from japan, 2015. It came with a Honda internavi premium club which is in Japanese. I tried google translate too, can’t figure out how to change the language to English. Help would be appreciated!!

Hi everyone, i am new to this forum so couldn't post a new thread. I have got a 2004 Toyota Mark X JDM the car is working fine, but there is a Check Engine light on, i bought an ODB2 scanner BlueDriver but it isnt working and found out that this car may not support ODB2 at all.

 

I have read other threads on this forum guys reading Check Engine lights on Mark X, could someone please guide me which scanner can i use to diagnose the issue?

 

I also contacted Toyota support, but they said i need to contact the distributes where the car was manufactured, since that is Japan i have no luck contacting them.

Hello, newbie here.

 

I picked up a 1997 Mercedes Benz 230E. I drive it for perhaps only about one weekend a month.

 

Given that mileage accrual is low, it may take some time before it hits the mechanic’s recommended mileage for the next servicing. That is, it may take about 2 years or even more.

 

My question is: should I send the car for servicing at a frequency based on time lapse since the last servicing instead of based on mileage accrual?

 

If so, what is the recommended or maximum time I should allow, before bringing the car for its next servicing?

 

Thank you in advance!

I'm wondering what's the comparison of maintaining a BMW 1 vs Audi A1. I'm considering getting a 2-3 years old unit and hope to find some tips here. Thank you in advance

Hi guys,

 

Need some help - my VW scirocco 2010 seems to have suddenly had a "knocking" sound while in idle or driving.

 

Sound gets louder with acceleration.

Please see the video for the knocking sound... any suggestions on possible issues with recommended work shops who specialize in VW? 

 

I know VAG is one but hoping to look for others that is more friendly on wallet.

 

Thank you.

Hi all,

I was looking at getting a new car soon and I'm trying to decide between silver and black. I currently own a silver car and most of the time it does look fairly clean so after hours of washing and detailing, the improvement is only somewhat minor. On the other hand, I think that black cars look stunning and hence was looking at getting one. I would wash it every week and polish/wax it every few months or so.

 

I'd like to hear from people that own a black car or have owned a black car in the past. What are your thoughts? Did you guys regret getting a black car?

 

Thanks

Hi guys ... My first post here so please be gentle ... Hopefully the mods can make a topic out of this question :) ...

 

I recently got a used 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan and while moving a metal bedframe for someone today, I got two light surface scratches on the dashboard :( ... The scratches aren't deep and can only be seen in light from the right angle ... Still, I was wondering if there's any quick fix to completely fix them so that they're not visible anymore (to the extent possible without spending too much money) .. ? Thanks in advance for your help :)

 

[ahmadka]

Isn't there like a polish or dye spray I can use to make the scratch blend in or something ?

Hi,

I am in search of an old car plate but no luck with car plate sellers. Still awaiting reply from LTA on how to proceed. Anyone has suggestions on how I can go about to search for that old car plate? Looking at SGL515 (any alphabets behind is ok).

Thanks!

Hi, I would like to check whether it is possible to have more than 1 car with the same prefix and numbers but different suffix on the road or there are only one car with the prefix and numbers combination on the road.

Say, is it possible to have the following car plates on the road?

 

SDA342 E and SDA342 A

 

Thanks!

Dear mods, I often came across postings with the words 'ccb pap'.  Is this allowed and condoned ?  Thanks.

Hello, I am new to the forum, and come from a renovation company. I wonder if it is okay for me to advertise on this forum. Not in the form of spam of course. Probably start a thread to see if anybody in the forum needs help or advise in regards to renovation, and to DM users who I think requires similar advice too. Thanks in advance!

is there any workshop in SG that can like customize this part? like maybe instead of the honda logo, make a batman logo brake light?
