Need advice: 4g93 SOHC auto 'semput'

[Izso]

Sanekit : Wah... your problems never ending man. But it should still be under warranty since the rebuild right?

Bro Iszo, I don't think the C99s come with 23mm front out of factory, probably 20mm. I remember those Putras doesn't have 23mm front, so I assume the Wiras are the same too. Only first batches of the 1.6s have 23mm front right off the bat (91-93 Lancer/Mirage models)

Yeah that's what I thought too. I also recall one batch of the Putras had really thin front ARB, even the Wira SE stock one was thicker than it. Wira SE stock was 20mm if I recall correctly.

Wow thats hell of a journey and scenery hahahah took you how long to finish the trip? do you gradually increase the speed or aggressively? i think i will do it the hard break in way...just now quite sure how to do it properly yet. Will need you to further explain in TT hahaha

I read it somewhere 1999 and onwards putra runs a 18mm front and 13mm back before 1999 they were 23mm...Wira/Satria 1.6 and 1.8 runs a similar (23mm front) setup

23mm I doubt was a standard size. That's the aftermarket GSR thickness ARB already

Still under warranty. Leaking coming from the black plastic sensor cap. They replace it for free. Now my aircon compressor died. Fuse all ok. I think kena mandi bunga laa this car. Dammit.

Are there any leaks/oil stains in the compressor housing?
Hopefully its just the magnet

Don't know. Now at a workshop in bukit kemuning. RF auto. Checking wiring coz the other day my center horn short. The horn was not working when i got back my car and i thought they didn't wire it back. Gonna ask him to check the compressor as well.

Mandi bunga together with my car. Haha! The workshop owner got one hensem 3 door rvr.

That is the expansion valve, did he change the receiver dryer too (black container) in engine compartment? because if valve stuck best to change dryer because it acts like a filter, then need to vacuum and recharge the gas.....
