If there is no wire connected...then is there any wire available to connect it or I should do a re-wire to get the connection.....I just wanted to activate if its possible or its just a waste..

 

[weikee]

ask wireman to do for you loh. You can tap it from the relay to signal or from your dashboard.

a lot of trouble to install another relay from dash. Furthermore, if signal flashing, and cause the relay to flip-flop and it also will flash the corner light.

Just tap it directly from the fog lamp beside it. So that when turn on fog lamp, the corner lamp lit up as well. Simple and clean! Thats what I did 5 years ago.

Hello praba..Wah now driving a33 ha..great and good choice. Much more better that your previous wira, volvo and ford rite....I'v been driving a32 for the past 5 years and i can tell you that nothing beats a ceffy. If you hv any prob with the car, I can introduce u to a foreman fm TC Bukit Tengah which can deal with you offline and the charges are very reasonable. For the spareparts, you can go to Chai Leng Park ( Naga Saga) .

Regards

Hi Arun,

Lets meet up tonite at Auto City McD...!

 

[Praba8848]

Sifu's....,

I came back yerterday from Genting Highland and I had a bad experince that when I am driving down from the hill and when I apply the brake the steering vibrate very badly and the the brake is not efficient enough...I called up my mechanic and he is saying it could be your disc and its need to be skim...do you anyone has a similar problem..

 

[kazukimy]

brake disc warped?,,,mayb apply too much brake while on the way down,try to skim it,if still the same..change the brake disc

 

[weikee]

Few of this maybe the cause of disc wrap,
- if the disk are thin it get wrap easy
- bad pad quality.
- Braking too hard and pad + disc can't take it.
- Wash your rim / car when you brake disc still hot.


BTW, going downhill you not suppose to use too much of brake, use lower gear. Else you will boil the brake oil and loose all braking.

 

[doraemon98]

Yup... certain stretch of the road have to drop to L gear and apply a bit of brake. But most of the road can use gear "2".

 

[seizai]

donw from genting normally i use free gear

 

[weikee]

2 will be good enough lah,

Using free gear or D is just asking for trouble only.

When i go Genting i always see some car having problem be it high end or low end car. and lots of brake burning smell.. there is a reason why Auto come with 1 and 2, and not only D.

Maybe too much brake force applied during downhill and wrapped the disc rotors.
I've done skimming on my rotors last year.
Sort of a on-wheel skimming job. No need send to foundry.
the mechanic removed my wheel and use a special tool to skim it.
about 30mins job. cost me about RM100 for 2 discs.

Advisable to change the pads after the skimming job too.

I send it to machine shop only cost me RM 30, and RM 30 for my mechanic labor. Anyway i can't do it on the wheels cause i have a LSD box.

BTW, is advice todo only 1 time skim, don't overdo it it will cause lots of problem like brake pad will fall out if skim too thin and pad running low, disc crack, disc easy wrap. I changed my disc to brand new last year after it skim once before i got the car.

wat brand u change?

 

[weikee]

don't know the brand, but is from japan. So far i am satisfied with the rotor, and the performance brake pad i am using got no problem and did not wrap my disc. Can brake now, stop yesterday.
