Hi all
Other than that previous sound that we mentioned in another thread mths ago.
Recently, when i open my boot, there is another type of noise.... It's like 生锈 noise (what is the word in english ah? rusting?)
Anyone? Need me to use phone to record down the noise to let you hear?
Regards!!!

You can try to use WD40 to spray the joints where the spring is.
Hope my explaination is clear. Can't think of better way to describe it.

hi clarence
what is WD40 leh?
i saw alot of topic talking abt EO that xWxx... but never see this WD40 leh.

This is WD40 ;)

Can buy it at any DIY stores or supermarkets.
WD40 is very versatile. You can also spray it on your window to remove those irritating VICOM inspection stickers that they paste on your window. After you remove the sticker, the glass will feel very sticky. Just spray WD40 on it and it work slike magic in removing the stickiness.

Guys, i am having a very irritating KOK sound whenever i close my boot (sedan). TCM says its due to the mechanism.. another "it's like that lor" reply. pisses me off. any way to solve it?
It does seem like the latch. THere's this red plastic that untwists the boot cover. but it is very very annoying.
-
If your Latio is under warranty, you can ask Tan Chong to replace the faulty part that is causing the noise, for free.

hi detach8
it's a norm.
mine also have.
during my 1k servicing, i told the service engineer, he showed me the other latio, it is normal one. so, he only apply some lubricant near the "joint" area to make it smoother only.
the noise still exist. never disappear.
but, recently, i listen carefully, the noise is not really come from the "joint", it is come from the "hook" that suppose to help us to hold the boot when we close the boot. u try to observe, then you will know what i am trying to say. i donno how to describe.

They will show you, the noise is normal, all Latio has it.
-
i wonder how to prevent. will any foam padding etc help? damn annoying, becos sometimes will give u a scare when u drop frens off then they take things from the boot and close.. suddenly KOK! wahlau heart attach
-
no leh, mine the KOK! sound is before i even close the boot.. about halfway down. if you close slowly no sound, but if u close fast the KOK! sound will be damn loud, damn annoying, and sometimes give me heart attack (sometimes i put expensive musical instruemnt behind and the KOK sound like i kena teh instrument..)

hi detach8
again, i know abt this coz i tried b4 aso.
when u close it down slowly, no noise one.
so, it is normal again. cheers.
-
Hi detach8, same issue with me too...used to hear the 'kok kok' sound wheneer I close the boot fast or slightly harder...my advice is don't rush to close your boot, do it slowly & you also wont knock into your instrument... ;)
Also...If there's some squeaking noise, should put some oil at the hinge...
-
IF you guys are really piss with the sound, check your boot, there are 2 rods running across near the top with a piece of white plastic. When you open or close your boot, these 2 rods move and the plastic will twist causing the sound, go get some lithium grease and grease that place.

Hi dear all,

WD40 has endless uses.
You can even spray it on your paintwork to remove those irritating tar spots. Just spray on, wait for a minute and wipe off.

Hi clarence
If spare on our latio? What's else can remove ah?
Will affect our paint also right?
-
Confirmed will not affect paintwork as I have tried it before.
It also can make bird faeces easier to remove.
Once I had dried bird faeces on my window and as it had dried up, it left a stain. I sprayed WD40 on my windscreen, let it absorb for 1 minute and just wipe it off lightly. The stain went off like magic.

Hi Bro, I think this noise thingy was discussed before. When I had that noise, I shifted the red plastic left/right till a spot where no more noise liao. WD40 is easier. Just spray is more straight forward.

hi humbercar
ya,iagree w u.
wd40 is much easier, spray and done. i dont want to shift the plastic left/right, coz the tcm guy put donno what 膏 (paste) to it when i complaint to them abt the noise since 1k servicing. it's so sticky. so, no touching, just spray will do (best).
regards.

clarence,
your PM is full.

Woah bro great job! Hmmm...I'll definitely use abit of wd40 to enjoy the shiok feeling of closing the boot smoothly... :D

today, i try again. it is too smooth....! like using lubricant like that... very licin n smooth!!! worth to buy one!

Actually, even better solution is to put some grease. Can buy lithium grease from bicycle shops. Most of the WD40 evaporates leaving a thin film which will be gone very soon and you will need to relube. Grease on the other hand stays around for a while. :thumbsup:

Yep, better to use grease instead of WD4D, dun forget all your 4 door hinges as well. :D
-
Problem with grease is that it attracts unnecessary dirt and dust.

hi aerosignal
regarding what u said.
now i remember, during my 1k servicing at tcm (bt), i complaint abt that noise. then they apply something on the 'red' plastic. i thk is what u said "grease", i donno what's that anyway.
BUT, it does't help me to solve the problem.
AND, WD40 solve it with just ONE SPRAY of effort!!! Go for WD40.
-

iagree with clarence.
that thing that tcm used made the 'red plastic' (and the "rod"? correct spelling? that 2 sticks of bar) to become very 'sticky'! i hate it.

Grease got different types lah. If use the type they use on the door hinges, then no good. I call that slop on grease. Those are meant for application during assembly or squeezed in (though grease nipples). Those grease have poor penetration and cannot enter tight joints by applying on. Usually, most people just slop in on and it does nothing. The excess grease also collects dirt which is no good.
I recommend lithium grease or teflon grease from bike shops because they can be sprayed on (like WD40). They are initially very fluid which aids joint penetration but leaves behind enough residue for long term lubrication.
The original purpose for WD-40 is a water displacement/ anti rust protective coating. Most of the fluid actually evaporates to leave a very very thin layer of protective film. So while it lubricates initially, the lubrication action disappears quickly.
Some shops also carry the LPS brand now. The lubricant residue is more than WD-40. It is used in aerospace applications and RSAF.
If given a choice, I would dismantle the parts and apply Molydenium diSulphite (Liqui-Moly) grease to the parts but who has the time right?
-
Those into RC can consider the tamiya ceramic greese (white color) or the ZX-1. These are good lubes that keep RC stuff running. Any type of oily substance attract dirt so the point is to put just enough.

Then, what TCM uses for us?
Gease vs WD40, which is cheaper?
If WD40 is cheaper, then use it as it is able to solve our problem by just a simple 喷射 (shoot & spray) ....
-
Just now, i try one more time, to open the boot to lift up and down quickly for 3 to 4 times, it's still smooth. Best. Lazy to think of use of gease or other thing liao as WD40 can solve this annoying problem which just a simple spray! RM6.xx for small WD40, medium size is RM9.xx , I bot in Johor.
WD40, no dirt at all. Sui one.

Steady bro... Maybe you can plan a MO for the WD40...me planning to make a trip to JB during the National Day holidays, this will be 1 more item that I'll get for my shopping trip... :D

wah shiok i put e tamiya greese and it worked perfect! put a few drops of ZX1 at the side where the joints meet also.

How much is the tamiya greese? sticky?
-
grease is not sticky. it's a very thin grease. oily nia. i think $5 a small tube, but it lasts fairly long. i'm quite sure longer than WD40. but WD40 is good for areas u can't grease-on, like the side hinges. the red plastic thing can put the grease.

Wd40 the tube is not long also.... abt 4 to 5inches oni.

Come to tink of the oil, the "Singer oil/sewer machine oil" should b able to work rite? hv been using this to lubricate door hinges or things tt nd 1 since long ago.. hehe.. can buy at pasar malam $1/bottle only.. :bleh: :bleh:
-
Singer oil works but it is liquid and very oily and messy and attracts dirt like glue.
-
I used Singer oil for my rifle cleaning during my army days. :yehyeh:
-
Singer oil sounds really 'ancient', i remembered my grandma using Singer oil for her sewing machine... :w00t:
-
Singer oil is too fluid. Most of it will not stay on our joint which is stationary most of the time. It is good for parts that move lot and "recirculate" the oil. Just like the gears on a sewing machine.
