Axela525 4th Gear May 8 Share May 8 Send my car for 125k servicing at TEK agent, came back with a list of recommended repairs. Did not do it as I know agent always very high price. Seek 2nd opinion with KHY motor at Sin Ming Autocare. Boss name Ah How. Very honest safe money type, can don't change better safe money. He did a check and found only engine mounting and left drive shaft boot need to change. The rest all looks fine. Paid $580 for engine mounting and $150 for drive shaft boot. Test drive and now like new car. Idling now very quiet...always thought engine stall Strongly recommended for him to service your car and repair. No regrets!! Engine mounting 3 pieces ↡ Advertisement 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axela525 4th Gear May 8 Author Share May 8 This is the agent report to change the parts...safe alot of money as certain parts still ok...think they got quota, to change parts to earn more money.

Anytimes within the 10 years coe span you can always scrap and refund back the balance of coe. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
