作者: kayi078 時間: 2008-11-30 21:26 標題: 3 QUESTION : DASH RATTLING,SPEAKER,BARKE FLUID

HELLO大家好,依個POST係我處男POST
有幾條問題想問問
先講我架車INFORMATION
6年既2手車 TOYOTA COROLLA 2萬5 MILEAGE

QUESTION 1: 我個dash有d嘈...開車果時
有2邊地方嘈,一個係乘客果邊既upper dash, airbag旁邊
如果我用隻手禁落去,no more rattle
早幾日開始我steering wheel 又有rattling,我分唔清佢係個STEERING WHEEL 定DRIVER'S DASH SIDE

去TOYOTA搞要$140 INSPECTION FEE,仲要唔100% SURE GETTING FIX OR NOT
有可能仲要收多D$
點算???

QUESTION 2: 我個OEM REAR TRUNK SPEAKER BUSTED OUT,係咪是但買返個岩SIZE既就PLUG&PLAY? 駛唔駛CONNECT WIRE,比較煩..'
駛唔駛一次過換曬2個( REAR ) 定係一次過要換曬成架車果D SPEAKER ( FRONT&REAR )
仲有咩叫做2-WAY SPEAKER 3-WAY SPEAKER?

QUESTION 3: 我架6年2手車岩岩買番黎,佢好低MILEAGE,有咩要特別注意?佢長期擺係度,我自己已經換左SPARK PLUG,OIL CHANGE,CHANGE BATTERY,我條SEPERTINE BELT CRACKED,下個星期去換,會唔會因為條BELT裂左所以有RATTLE FROM MY DASH? 仲有我FRONT BRAKE PAD INSPECT左之後有60% LIFE,仲可以用幾耐? 我駛唔駛 FLUSH BRAKE FUILD AND FILL IT UP? 仲有我POWER STEERING FLUID 好黑色,駛唔駛又FLUSH AND FILL?
仲有咩要特別注意架,我發覺我GAS MILEAGE麻麻, 25MPG CITY 32 HIGHWAY , TUNE-UP有無用? 不過我自己已經OIL CHANGE+REPLACE SPARK PLUG,依家去TUNE-UP會唔會浪費左之前果D $$$$$$$

SORRY我唔識打中文,我知我篇野好難明,SORRY
IT TOOK ME AN HOUR TO OPEN THIS POST!!!!

你架車係25000km, 定係25000miles? Either way都好低, 最好係換左d波箱油 (toyota's fluid ONLY), 剎車油 (時間耐左, d油既水氣會好重)...可以既話coolant (toyota's coolant only)都換埋...

你用緊咩火咀? 有冇換風格? 六年車咁即係02 Corolla定03?

乘客果邊係禁airbag定係airbag旁邊先唔嘈? either way 我覺得架車有可能撞過, 好可能係個airbag裝唔實或個dash repair得唔好...especially你話司機果邊都響...

如果你買原廠喇叭, 咪可以換一個, 一般aftermarket既都要換一對...should be about the same work anyways...

2 way係高低音, 3 way係高中低音...

60% of brake life通常都仲可以行萬幾二萬, 渣得好三萬都得 (都要depends行咩路)

25MPG CITY, 32MPG HWY? so that's about 10.58km/L (9.45L/100km) CITY or 13.55km/L (7.38L/100km) HWY? that's not too bad at all cuz all city u should be able to get 500+km for CITY ONLY and 670km+ for HWY; if you think gas mileage is still not good enough, u should buy hybrid lol...

coolant要用TOYOTA?? coolant唔係入水咋咩=.=? i am confused
traNsmission fluid可唔可以自己換架?

Iridium 火咀,聽講幾耐用,可以用10萬miles,我自己手多多換曬4個SPARK PLUG,話曬都6年車,雖然佢unplug出黎果時好clean(damn,cost me a hundred buck), anyway,架車無撞過,賣車果個保證未撞過,如果唔係money back,我自己拎去inspect佢地都話無
我果架03 corolla s,換左剎車油會唔會爽d架? 我fix左driver果邊個rattle啦,因為個tire入左d石,till左出黎無事,至於air bag果邊個rattle我用d重野壓住,無曬rattle,好開心,好過拎去toyota整,今日去左問,佢地仲唔保證整到-.-頂佢

我個brake得番咁少命,你建唔建議依家拎出去比人做brake flush? 仲有fuel system cleaning有無用? 出去做一次$100= =

thankyou

coolant 梗係唔係入水就得啦, 如果唔係都唔駛有coolant呢樣野...toyota用果隻係特別coolant, 如果你溝其他既落去之後既顏色會變到屎一樣, 都唔知佢係唔係乾淨...仲有我發覺例如water pump都會容易漏水左, 水箱又容易塞左...

一般你架toyota既coolant最好四至五年或48000km(whichever comes FIRST, which is already overdue for your case)換一次; 如果會自己DIY既小心架車overheat啦...

至於波箱油, 你識既可以自己換...

Iridium火咀$100? 連人工差唔多啦; well 你可以用10萬Miles, d coil死得快d咁jei...

你攞去比邊到睇呀? 我有朋友比某某公司睇完連架車係rebuild都唔知喎...有好多話同佢check完呢樣果樣, 到最後都係都個吹字, compression test做完又冇reading...etc...

well...我唔知你放咩重野壓住個airbag / dash, 不過我祝你好運啦, 有咩事果件重野加埋個airbag打埋黎, 唔死就出奇!!!

60%唔算少架喇, 你返原廠整囉, 岩岩先inspect完兩架, 50%同70%left比原廠叫換...我就真係做唔出喇...

brake flush唔會令架車爽D, 不過個brake會"應"D (硬d同停得consistent d)....

fuel system cleaning, 我都係用Motul 既Fuel System Cleaner, 用到冇油入枝落去, 再加d靚油出hwy爆一輪, 爽晒....都係三十零蚊....

睇黎你都唔知架車夠竟要d咩, 好似咁盲目咁整既? 咁good luck啦...haha

anyway thankyou
我聽日去換條sepertine belt同brake fluid flush&fill, 2個+埋$100連人工...好似幾平
我擺左個cd盒爽係windshield同dash中間,壓住and then無曬rattle, it works.
brake唔換住,唸住用到吱吱聲先換,希望brake flush可以有用啦..$20都算平

字典仔 is such a nice guy....answer all questions..

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-2 20:09

kayi078: $20 for brake flush? not included bleed brakes ga? that's at least 40 mins to bleed and flush a brake system, $20? 買brake油都唔夠 haha...

不廠條皮帶唔貴, $80差唔多啦, 10分鐘人工? haha

brake, dun use it until last minute; should change around 20% left, metal to metal is actually very dangerous and that will damage ur brake rotors too!

shutterbug: well i just dun like how many ppl are treating their car...not very often i can see a 3 years old car is still in good shape, usually it will need some love already...so i wouldn't mind answering questions while i can, have been doing this on other forums for many years already....

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-12-2 20:20

OK I guess you wouldn't mind answering my question too. With so many drive by wire cars out there, I wonder how a mechanic blip the throttle these days while working on the car? We used to hang on to the cable "wheel" on the throttle body to do it....

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-2 20:51

good question but my only answer is can't do it...and i totally hate drive by wire as i have replaced gas pedal sensor and earlier version of drive by wire's throttle body! i only found it no feel (less feedback) at all

作者: shutterbug 時間: 2008-12-2 21:09

ha can't do??? that's so stupid...mechanic wives slept with engineers again??? (

meaning bad design that screwed mechanics...)

I have a drive by wire car and I don't know how to blip the throttle from outside....AND I don't like the throttle response too, too twitchy...

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-2 22:19

well i guess mechanic's wife needs to sit inside and tap on the gas for the mechanic nowadays; many things are actually getting more stupid and i can only see them causing more problems (yet they are talking about emissions these days, who cares about repair; perfect example is hybrid's battery)

i hate drive by wire's throttle, especially if it's MT, huge diff compares to drive by cable...

其實大廠連白金(platium)火咀都話十萬先換一次都得，但係好睇你部車既driving condition囉，我自己prefer換密少少，又唔係好多錢，部車爽少少仲好！

我都同意唔好擺野o係個dash上面，有d 人真係成dash都係公仔，如果個airbag爆果陣成堆野飛埋黎都幾恐怖！

換brake油放埋氣個brake pedal feel會實在d，我同字典仔半年至一年做一次(當然係佢幫我手做

)有益冇害。另外我會建議個brake拆一拆出黎省乾淨晒d 銹同迫力粉，lubricate番晒d 野擺番上去，個brake 有雜聲既機會少好多。

bleed brake油大約要幾多$?

作者: librazhy 時間: 2008-12-7 15:08

around $100 parts & labour

now that totally depends on how ur brake fluid's condition is, and what kinda car u have ~ for your 03 corolla it should be $65 to $80 range, but cars like STi with brembo brakes, they got more bleeder valve than normal cars (8 compares to 4), then of course it will need more brake fluid and time (labor)...they can almost goes up to $120 with decent brake fluids...

also clean & adjust rear brakes is very important for cars with rear drum brakes, that totally affects intial braking (as that's what rear does for the most, after certain braking power it becomes like 60/40)....

作者: librazhy 時間: 2008-12-8 11:37

i think your 6 years old car needs 換剎車油 .波箱油 and coolant.

if a japanese 4 cylinder sedan's radiator is total loss, how much does it cost to rebuild factory radiator eg toyota?

does water pump require maintainence?

i dun see how radiator can be a total loss? it blew up? cracked? smashed?

if only the side tank is leaking, it can be replaced but is not cheap...depends on what year toyota it is, and what model, AT or MT, with or without AC, cost for radiator will be a little bit diff...generally speaking a decent one costs from $250 to $400 installed (now that depends on cars, and what is available)...

water pump doesn't require maintenance, i always recommand changing it with timing belt, along with tensioner and seals; u dun want to open up the same area again within 100k and worst thing is u dun want a leaky water pump to have coolant soaked up ur timing belt; as for cars with timing chain u pretty much won't touch water pump unless it leaks / noisy; coolant flush every 48k is a good habit as it keeps up the strength of your coolant + drain out the old contaminated coolant for no longer than 4 years (IF, still not reached 48k).

and for toyota's, make sure toyota's special red coolant is being used; have seen so many mechanic mixed universal green coolant into toyota's and causing pre-mature leaks / contamination in the cooling system (clogging up radiator etc).

thankx for mechanical info, very useful irl.

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-9 11:34

my pleasure

作者: kayi078 時間: 2008-12-10 18:58

can i DRAIN COOLANT by myself?

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-11 09:38

u can always drain the coolant urself, but if dun bleed the cooling system right, or know how to observe u are getting it back to normal: u might experience serious overheating, which can cause serious engine damage...

it always looks easy to DIY, yet many times those DIYers will have missed out major stuff even during "just an oil change"; u might have saved a little bit of money but u could have ended up spending much more, just like gambling...

alignment? do i need to do it?
my car is going straight

作者: 字典仔 時間: 2008-12-14 11:59

ur car is going straight doesn't mean the wheels are straight...

if wheels are \ \ then for sure it goes left, or / / then it goes right; if wheels are | \ it will still pull left, or | / it will still pull right...

yet if wheels are \ / or / \, the car will still seems to go straight but u will get uneven wear like others scenario

作者: kayi078 時間: 2008-12-14 19:07

is there any place that can inpsect alignment for free?
i dont know i need it for not

i think most shop charges about $40 to $50 for wheel alignment check, why paying over $100k for a machine that has to do free report? not to mention the repair and maintenance cost for that machine, labor for a mechanic to operate it!?

if you have a mechanic u trust, he can always go for a road test and tell u he "thinks" you will need it or not; without an actual report i can even tell u it's bullsh!t; yet that might be give u an idea...

have seen ppl who got so used to their car, to a point they didn't realize it's bad until the problem was mentioned and being fixed...

if you think you are mechanic, do whatever u "think"; if not, get someone u trust to do the work for ya ~ there has to be a reason why we had to go thru all those training and stuff, now it depends, IF you have found yours?
