Imitation Spare Parts

[lavon]

Do you ever experienced buying parts from spare parts shop, which are imitations? I seldom buy spare parts and if I did it’ll be of those like brake pads, absorbers, patrol filter, oil filter and engine oil. I recently bought 2 pc of rear Monroe absorbers for my ISWARA and a set of spark plug cables. A friend told me that the absorbers supposed to be black color, not blue plus the spark plug cables is imitation though on the packaging itself written it’s made in Australia…

I somehow wonder if it is true then why authority never survey these spare parts shop and identify the imitation parts… :sad_smile:

The JPJs will says "... itu adalah di dalam bidang kuasa kementerian perdagangan (or whatever).. kami cuma menguat kuasakan undang-undang..."

Damn! And now their already got gun now!!:mouth_closed:

[5115]

juz curious....

ju onn,
Yeah. Now that JPJ has a gun, they may just fire at anybody who "breaks" the law and "defy" them during a road block or whatever. Particularly, the JPJ will also shoot based on their mood. Or they will also shoot if anybody tries to superceed them at any time. This is the impression that I have.

lavon,
Imitation products being labelled as original products has been going on for years. I can't even remember how long already. Side tracking a little bit, take a look at the 3 pin power sockets that you buy. Most of them has the SIRIM sticker. Once you open the package, try to use it. Do not be surprised that some of the power sockets does not work, or some will cause sparks till the plastic on the power socket is burnt. It's either the people knows where to buy SIRIM stickers or SIRIM is TOTALLY NOT doing their job.

go get parts from authorized distributing workshops to avoid fakestuff ? but if its the ori dealer doing the imitation themselves then nothing can be done.

So nowadays don't outrun those jpj.If u see them around the corner.If not u are in a shooting pursuit.Not car pursuit

 

[ken yeang]

hahahah....no wonder the owner of sparepart shop I used to go has 2 Toyota Harrier and 1 Estima for his wife.....

These ppl buy immitaion with low price then repacaked and selling for Ori price. Their profit must be more than 3 or 4 time....

 

[Wira Y2K]

Yup i got the blue Monroe as you.Gas type.

Used only for 2 month the left side punctured and the right side spoilt.The shop was lucky i lost the receipt,damn mad with myself.

Mine I dont think is Imitation cos got Monroe written on the abs,but another shop said it could be old stock.

 

[lavon]

Satria_95, you are indeed correct dude... its been happening for years and I wish something decent can be done to stop all that. i wonder why manufacturer built original stuff and make the price accessible. Coz they don't, I supposed... others start to take advantage to sell fake stuff... been to BROTHERS... sony EXPLODE thinggy.... I don't even convince they are original...

 

[ky69]

Nowadays alot of repack parts.Engine oil,oil filter,spark plug,suspension.Mostly common parts that usually user use.They recycle it

 

[lavon]

Ky, u're indeed correct, especially the spark plugs. I did bought a set of spark plugs which a honest mechanic show me at the middle plat ring showing the mar which shows it is a recycle plugs... if I go on using it will surely causing problem to my engine. The engine oil filter, shock absourbers, you name it...

 

[ky69]

Last time i buy spark plug from spare part shop only can tahan for 1 month.Then i went back to that shop and change still tahan 1 month.I gone fed up i don't want to purchase from him anymore so i change other spare part shop.My spark plug using now from new spare part shop last until now for 6 month.Still not yet spoil.His oil filter and engine oil is the worst.My oil filter always leaking and use cheapo engine oil.He repack it said is Castrol Magnatec and ori perodua oil filter.Air filter very fast bocor 1.That shop is really not honest

These are a few common parts, which those irresponsible dude recon and it is almost impossible to detect like the one we discussed

· Spark plug
· Oil filter
· Petrol filter
· Engine oil
· Wheel bearing
· Gear oil
· Grease element
· Brake drum
· Brake pad
· Bosh kit

Imitation parts

· Plug cables
· Spark plus also
· Oil filter
· Sealant
· Air filter
· Bulb
· Cable etc…


The rest, we have to be skeptical whenever being given one at the spare parts shop. If you want to check out for allot of imitation products, go to BROTHERS… there is allot, dude.
