[Jazz]

obviously... all who read know its not ur ride....

but since u have mention the changes made of ur friend's ride & its kinda interesting as this has been a concern for almost all latio owner here.... so I though I just inquire for everyone know how.

i would have gladly inquire from your friend directly, if he/she is here.....  cos I dun see you are able to help with ur replies.

& there is no needs to keep highlighting ur reply in red.  I can read very well... thank you.

yalor.... different education will yield different interpretation of definition (sorri, I "O" level nia england not powderful..... my fault lor).... but i do strongly believe different upbringing will yield a different response to such too.

i seldom post long replies, as most peep here will know.... well...anyway.....

For those that know it not my ride will definitely wun ask me to read my service report.

I already mentioned I unable to reply on the above thread but seem like you can't read well that is why I need to highlite in red.

I do agreed with you on the upbringing part, thanks for being frank on yourself.

O.K, got to go for meeting now, enjoy your day.

mine also jialat.... those kerb tat will not kena last time.... all kena bang loud loud recently.... wonder how come the suspension give way so easily..... something to do with the load limit of 305kg for Latio?

Average lifespan of a stock car suspensions will varies from 3-5 years. mine reaching 3 years.. Me not a slow hump crosser.... .... haha... hopefully can change one new one b4 warranty over.. If not.. Change car liao... hahahaha..

Sometimes by typing words into the lcd/ctr monitor will create a few misunderstanding/miscomm among each others.... Tat's why try to offset abit.. dun get too into the conversations lah...

Steady Bo??

Hi Guys,
Sorry for any uncomfortableness caused.

O.K, back to the suspension topic if I not considered OT.

I called up my friend just now, confirmed TC changed a brand new rear suspension for him. Now the ride is higher plus firmer as he can feel when he run over the humps. As I have mentioned earlier, as long is a genuine or valid failures, TC will change.

Can I ask warranty period from TCM is how long? Mine is 2nd hand and ain't sure about these tho. Wanted to go servicing my car real soon as it reaches 36k (I had to go for 40K servicing). If it is still under warranty, how will TCM know (by computer checking?) 

Need some guidance. If not I shall go to other places like Comfort or Autosaver for servicing...

Check your car registration date. It's the beginning of your car life span.

Other issue u might wan to check 1st is whether the previous owner has done his servicing since day 1 at TC (5K, 10K,20K, 30K).. and of cos wat mods he has done on the car. If he has all the while did his servicing outside and has mods lots of things, then u got to b careful when u go to TC (eg. mods tt might void ur warranty). Of cos if he has done his servicing all the while at TC, mayb u can go TC 1st for ur 40K service (for peace of mine as it is a major servicing)... later u can start searching outside..

does strut bar on bottom consider voiding warranty? serious question, cos my servicing is very near

I guess non mod because the car mileage is only 32k after 3 years. Uncle driven it before. I shall have the peace of mind by heading to TCM for servicing first before going to else where. Till now I do not know shall I opt for their engine oil or I should buy my own and request them to do for me (I had no idea what will be the price like.) Where can I buy Mobil Engine Oil? Is it recommended for our Latio Sedan? Plus, whats the cost normally for the Engine Oil?

Just to add on, recently I just changed the battery. Is it consider void of warranty?

Do a search on this forum, topic has been discuss b4, some even has argument with TC on the warranty when using non-TC in house oil :) .. u prob can save mayb $20 - 40 by bringing ur own oil.. if u intend to use TC in-house oil, try to use the Fastflo oil, dont go for the Shogun cos I and few members here had bad experience with it.. :)

No la, change battery wont void warranty, eg. change rims, tyres, batteries, and external accessories..

U can find lots of info here on all our Latio issues/matters.. read slowly hor.. njoy ur ride..

Yup, been reading about Engine Oil but there are too many of them ard... I had no idea which / where to get.  Was looking at Mobil and Amsoil.

May I ask that is it better to flush my Engine Refresh since the mileage is 40k at TC?

If I were to do outside, does Autosaver do Engine Refresh as well? Beside, which E.O. is autosaver using? (A lot of variety to choose from?)

~First time heading for servicing, please bear with all my qtn~

That's why i dont like to service @ TCM, no time, waste time to wait.
Got to take annual leave to service, not worth at all.
And, it is expensive for 15k to 20k service, pkg B, cost S$350+ -
