Right Side Engine Mount Replacement + Service

Date: 20th December 2014
Mileage : 149171
WorkShop : V-Auto
Item Replaced:
Engine Oil / Oil Filter / RHS Engine Mount

It’s due for service again – 5 months to hit 5000KM, with this rate – Semi-Syn oil will do the trick, I am not a fan of having the engine oil in the engine for too long time.

The Engine mounting is not that worn out – but for a 10 years old car, I decided to change it anyway since I already did the left side.

Engine mounting is very important to retain the “New Car Feel” as most of the vibration in the cabin is cause by faulty mountings.

But, Mr.Vasu is not a big fan of customer taking their own parts to the workshop, I managed to convenience him to do it for me this time Smile

I brought the parts directly from US, it is around 20% cheaper that local parts shop.

Total Cost = RM350 (Engine Mounting) + RM187 (Labour + Oil Filter) + RM89 X2 (Castrol Semi-Sync from Tesco)

    Hi
    Do you happen to know how much it cost to replace the timing belt at VAuto or Federal Auto?

    Thanks.
    already at 150k km,. Timing belt replacement overdue already, i think must send to reputable workshop.
    My 2008 S40 has leaking a/c compressor - another headache... it blows warm air about 2 to 3 times in a month - i guess it is a minor leak, can still live with that.

    update - fixed the a/c in subang - replaced the compressor at less than RM2k... would have cost a bomb at FA
