Yup, the Pocong dah merajuk!

Just two days after having test driven the Megane RenaultSport 250 Cup, the Pocong has started to merajuk! It was last Monday morning when the weather was raining, this car decided to throw overheating tantrum by twisting its radiator fan to pieces. I was left without a choice but to wait for some hours for the car to cool down before cruising at crawling pace towards Alex’s Ever Auto. Luckily, upon checking, the cylinder head and gasket are all ok hence I ‘only’ need to fork out almost RM1k just for that. And while at it, all major service essentials like timing belt, tensioner, water pump, fluids which resulted in RM2630 bill. Yeah that’s the price I had to pay this morning and following are the detailed breakdowns:-

Engine Oil: Q8 Formula Excel 5W-40 RM195.00
Oil Filter: VW 1.8T (06A 115 561 B) RM35.00
Spark Plug: NGK Platinum V-Power BKR7E (Own - RM50.00)
Fuel Filter: VW 1.8T (6Q0201051J) (Own RM48.00)
Air Cond Filter: VW 1.8T (1J0819644A) (Own RM70.00)
Timing Belt: VW BJX 1.8T (06B198480) RM195.00
Timing Tensioner: VW BJX 1.8T (06B198480) RM325.00
Water Pump: VW BJX 1.8T (06A121012G) RM550.00
Auxiliary Fan Assembly: VW BJX 1.8T (6X0959455F) RM850.00

Labour: Rectify front left door rattling RM75.00

Total RM2640
And upon collecting it, I handed it over to Ah Heng for some essential upgrades which will help it the car to be more ‘cool’ and breathier than now. God willing, it’ll be ready in 3 more days provided he can work his magic party peace asap :)

The radiator fan somehow seized to perform harakiri on me

Ah Heng's boys started to do their job

I guess you know what will be sitting in between the crossbar and radiator/condenser :p

Too big!!
