Finally my X-trail is out of the shop. Total damage RM2287.80. I was reminded that Service Tax is now 6%. So our dear government took RM41.58 of my money because I had to repair my car. Where is the logic in that? Parts cost is RM1711.50 and total labour cost was RM693.
The final bill of material of repair is as below.
1. Gasket Kit (yes they did skim the head)
2. Magnatec Engine Oil
3. Thermostat (2 pcs)
4. Injector fuel hose (existing hose has harden)
5. Shim sproket (no clue where this is. need to look up the manual)
6. Oil seals for crankshaft
7. Oil filter
8. MAF sensor
9. Water control valve
congrats...you got your ride back
ReplyDeletehope you will be happy after this
i have been going thru your blog....interesting.. anyway do you know what is your ori mileage ? and maybe care to share the used car dealer you bought your x from? have to avoid them
Thanks I hope I don't bore you. They are more like notes hope it helps you in some way.
ReplyDeleteIts been a real pain for the last one and a half weeks since I only have 1 set of wheels. There is not enough time to test it throughly as I will be starting my CNY runs this weekend. Hope all the problem has been fixed.
The ori mileage was discovered by chance when I initially got the car. I was pestering TCEAS agents to show me what had been done previously so that I have some maintenance records. It was in one of these maintenance records it showed the mileage record more than the current reading on the odometer of the car. Thats when I confirmed missing mileage.
The car was purchased from a 2nd hand dealer in Kuantan. Its along the road towards Beserah, past Maybank. People say you get cheated easily in big towns, I say there are bigger sharks lurking in my home town. Will need to dig the name of the shop. Its somewhere in the records. Can't remember d.
