Signs of a Faulty Car Gearbox: What to Look Out for &...

By

Devan S

A car’s gearbox is a vital component as it ensures that your car drives smoothly at any speed. It controls the torque and speed of your car so you have the right amount of power when you need it and that it’s delivered smoothly.

Driving with a faulty gearbox will not only give you a rough and
jerky ride
, but could cause your car to stall in the middle of the road. That’s why it’s important to maintain your gearbox. So, here’s how to identify the symptoms of a faulty gearbox.

What Is a Car Gearbox?

When combustion happens in your engine, the power is transferred to the crankshaft which rotates thousands of times per minute. However, this is too fast for the wheels, so the gearbox converts the power to a rotational speed that the wheels can manage. A conventional gearbox has numerous gears with interlocking teeth which connect to the output shaft.

When driving at lower speeds or uphill, lower gears are used. Low gears have larger cogs which allow the engine to deliver more torque to the wheels. At higher speeds, higher gears are used instead. High gears have smaller cogs which deliver more speed and lower torque, allowing for smooth driving and better fuel economy on the highway.

7 Signs of a Faulty Car Gearbox

A gearbox can generally last for more than 150,000 kilometers or for throughout the car’s lifetime with proper maintenance. However, there are times when your gearbox can malfunction, such as with poor driving habits and maintenance. By knowing what to look out for in your car, you can identify issues with your gearbox early and avoid needing major repairs.

1. Burnt Smell from the Engine Bay

If you notice a smell like burnt rubber or smoke coming out of your engine, it could indicate some issues with your transmission as burnt transmission fluid has a uniquely harsh smell, similar to burning rubber. If this is accompanied by fluid leakage, it’s a sign that your transmission fluid levels could be dangerously low which can lead to friction on the gears which can lead to the gearbox overheating and catching fire.

In some cases, a burnt smell can also be caused by radiator issues or insufficient engine oil. If you notice any unusual smell from your engine, immediately get it checked at the workshop.

2. Unusual Sounds from the Gearbox

Another sign of a faulty gearbox is if you hear unusual sounds, especially when shifting gears. As there are hundreds of parts in the gearbox, even a single worn or loose bearing can produce unexpected noises.

Oftentimes, a faulty automatic gearbox will produce humming, whining, or buzzing noises, while a manual gearbox tends to produce harsher clunking noises. Do note that these noises may also indicate problems with the engine, drive shaft, or exhaust, so you should get your vehicle checked to pinpoint the issue.

3. Lack of Response When Shifting Gears

A difficulty to shift gears is often a clear indication of a faulty gearbox. This can be caused by several reasons including a clogged transmission filter, incorrect transmission fluid, and faulty sensors or solenoids. In vehicles with an automatic gearbox, there may be a delay in the time the gear engages when you shift from drive to park.

In a manual gearbox, unresponsive gear shifts can result in a disconnect between the engine’s revolutions per minute (RPM) and the actual vehicle speed and motion. This means that your engine could be revving high but your vehicle isn’t accelerating.

4. The Gear Gets Stuck When Shifting

If your gearbox won’t go into gear, this could be an indicator that you could have several issues. These include mechanical failure, a clogged filter, faulty clutch linkage, incorrect transmission fluid, a malfunctioning computer system or sensor, and other issues. This problem indicates serious issues, so you should get your gearbox repaired immediately as delaying it could result in you needing to replace your gearbox.

5. Gear Slipping

Gear slipping happens when the gear “slips” between gears such as from first into neutral without you shifting gears yourself. Gear slipping most commonly happens right after you shift gears, and usually slips into neutral. This is extremely dangerous as it could cause your car to suddenly stop moving or lurch forward, endangering yourself and the people around you.

In a manual gearbox, gear slipping is often caused by a worn-out clutch, while in an automatic gearbox, slipping can be caused by wear and tear on various parts such as the clutch plates and transmission bands. Many modern gearboxes have a safety feature called “limp mode” or “safe mode”. This happens when the computer detects a problem with the gearbox and defaults to only one gear to prevent further slipping and allow you to safely drive to a nearby workshop.

6. The Transmission Warning Light Comes On

Having the transmission
warning light
 come on is often a clear sign that there are issues with your gearbox. The warning light responds to sensors that can detect minor, unusual vibrations that you may not notice, and are located at crucial points in the gearbox. Therefore, you should never ignore it when the warning light comes on. Instead, get your car checked at the workshop immediately.

7. Gearbox or Transmission Fluid Leakage

The transmission fluid functions as a lubricant to decrease friction and as a hydraulic fluid to enable gear engagement in the gearbox. If you have a transmission fluid leakage, your gearbox won’t have enough lubrication. The increased friction can wear down the gears and eventually cause overheating in the gearbox.

If you see a pool of bright red fluid beneath your car, it’s a sign of leaking transmission fluid. However, if the leaked fluid is dark brown or black and smells like burnt rubber, it could be burnt transmission fluid. In this case, there might already be significant damage requiring major repairs on your gearbox.

4 Automatic Gearbox Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Gearbox in Shape

Repairing or replacing a gearbox can cost a bomb even for compact affordable cars. For example, the price of a genuine automatic gearbox for the
Perodua Myvi
 starts from RM6,000 (including installation) but you can find reconditioned Myvi gearboxes from under RM1,000. By properly maintaining your automatic gearbox, you can extend its service life and reduce the risk of it breaking down – here are some ways.

1. Regularly Check Your Transmission Fluid

Just like with your engine oil, you should periodically check the level and condition of your transmission fluid. If your transmission fluid level is low, it might mean that you are overdue for a gearbox service or that you have a leakage in your gearbox. Also, do note that transmission fluid that’s in good condition is clear, bright red, and has a slightly sweet smell. If you notice that the fluid has a dark color and acrid smell, it’s time to change it immediately.

2. Avoid Driving with a Space Saver Spare Tire for Too Long

In most cars, the spare tire is narrower than the regular tires to allow it to fit in the boot. Due to its size, it’s also called a space-saver tire. Driving with a space-saver tire might not seem like a big deal. However, you might unknowingly be damaging your gearbox if you drive your car for extended periods of time with it. The reason for this is that driving with mismatched tires puts a strain on your car’s gearbox and other drivetrain components. Driving with mismatched tires can also affect the
alignment of the wheels
 as there will be an unequal force on the wheels and suspension system.

3. Use the Right Transmission Fluid

Each car gearbox needs the correct fluid, as specified by the manufacturer to run optimally. As different transmission fluids contain different additives and specifications, some fluids may not be compatible with your gearbox. Therefore, make sure to check your owner’s manual and take note of whether you need a manual transmission fluid, automatic transmission fluid, or CVT fluid for a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

4. Conduct Regular Maintenance on Your Gearbox

Regular maintenance will not only ensure that your gearbox functions smoothly but also increase its lifespan. As the gearbox service interval varies between car models, you can check your owner’s manual to find out the recommended service interval for your car. A gearbox or transmission service generally involves these steps:

Examining the gearbox and other components including the sump pump or pan.

Flushing and replacing the transmission fluid.

Replacing the transmission filter.

Cleaning the transmission pan and installing a new pan gasket.

Bahasa Pomen yang Anda Kena Tahu Kalau Tak Nak Kena Tipu

By

Haziq Asyraf

Bayangkan masa anda tengah seronok pandu kereta, tiba-tiba terdengar pula bunyi pelik dari bahagian enjin. Tanpa membuang masa, anda terus bawa kereta ke bengkel yang anda dah biasa pergi untuk kenal pasti apa yang rosak.

Sampai di bengkel, anda serahkan kereta kepada pomen dan selepas selesai pemeriksaan, pomen anda pun beritahu apa yang tak kena dengan kereta. Tapi, malangnya anda cuma boleh faham beberapa patah perkataan sahaja yang keluar daripada mulut pomen tersebut.

Ini adalah situasi yang biasa dialami oleh semua orang, lebih-lebih lagi mereka yang kurang pengetahuan dalam bidang automotif. Tanpa pengetahuan yang betul, anda mungkin akan ditipu oleh mereka yang tidak bertanggungjawab apabila menghantar kereta untuk dibaiki, jadi penting sebenarnya untuk anda ambil tahu istilah-istilah yang biasa digunakan oleh para pomen.

Berikut adalah antara perkataan yang anda akan dengar daripada pomen apabila menghantar kereta untuk dibaiki.

Kong (Rosak)

Yang ini kami pasti ramai dah biasa dengar. Perkataan ‘kong’ selalunya digunakan oleh pomen untuk merujuk kepada komponen kereta yang sudah rosak atau tak boleh digunakan lagi dan perlu diganti.

“Bateri dah kong.”, “Mentol lampu dah kong.”, “Palam pencucuh dah kong.” adalah antara beberapa contoh yang anda akan dengar daripada pomen anda. Kalau dah kena macam ni, alamatnya anda kena kena sediakan duit lebih untuk baiki komponen-komponen yang rosak tu.

Recon (
Reconditioned
)

Kalau pomen anda ada menyebut recon, mereka mungkin merujuk kepada
alat ganti recon
 – alat ganti lama yang dah rosak, tetapi dibaik pulih dengan menggantikan bahagian yang rosak dan dibersihkan agar nampak macam alat ganti baharu.

Pomen selalunya akan mencadangkan alat ganti recon kalau anda tak ada bajet yang banyak untuk membaiki kereta kerana harga alat ganti recon lebih rendah berbanding dengan alat ganti original ataupun alat ganti OEM.

Tapi, anda perlu berhati-hati apabila menggunakan alat ganti recon kerana kualitinya yang tidak terjamin dan ia juga mungkin tak tahan lama.

Hapkat (
Half Cut
)

Hapkat pula selalunya merujuk kepada alat ganti yang diambil daripada kereta potong. Kereta potong merupakan kereta yang tidak boleh digunakan lagi lalu dijual kepada kedai potong kereta kerana pernah terlibat dalam kemalangan teruk, cukai jalannya terlalu mahal untuk diperbaharui, ataupun kereta dari luar negara yang memerlukan kos yang sangat tinggi untuk dibaiki.

Ada beberapa alat ganti yang boleh diambil daripada kereta potong, antaranya seperti:

Enjin

Kotak gear

Tempat duduk

Bahagian badan kereta – lampu, pintu,
sunroof
, bonet, hud, dan lain-lain.

Hanya alat ganti yang masih berfungsi dengan baik sahaja yang akan diambil daripada kereta potong. Walaupun begitu, ada banyak risiko yang perlu anda ambil kira jika anda mahu menggunakan alat ganti daripada kereta potong – seperti kualiti dan ketahanannya – jadi lebih baik anda dapatkan alat ganti berkualiti yang sesuai dengan bajet anda.

Obohol / Turun Enjin (
Overhaul
)

Ini pula antara perkataan yang paling orang takut dengar daripada mulut pomen. Obohol atau turun enjin ni merujuk kepada proses meleraikan enjin kereta agar pomen boleh kenal pasti komponen yang bermasalah dalam enjin untuk buat pembaikan menyeluruh.

Kos untuk turun enjin ni sangat mahal kerana ia sangat rumit, memerlukan perhatian yang sepenuhnya daripada mekanik, dan memakan masa yang lama. Selain itu, kalau terdapat sebarang kesilapan semasa proses turun enjin, ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan enjin yang lebih teruk!

Antara tanda-tanda enjin anda perlu menjalani proses turun enjin adalah suhu kereta naik melebihi paras normal, asap keluar daripada enjin, enjin bergegar atau berbunyi terlampau kuat, prestasi enjin yang lemah dan macam-macam lagi. Ada dua jenis proses turun enjin yang boleh dilakukan, bergantung kepada jenis kerosakan yang dialami enjin anda:

Top
overhaul
– Hanya bahagian kepala silinder dibuka dan ia hanya melibatkan beberapa komponen seperti silinder, piston, piston ring, gasket, dan sebagainya.

Full
overhaul
– Enjin akan diangkat keluar daripada kereta dan akan dileraikan sepenuhnya.

Tulang Anjing (
Rear Control Arm
)

Tengah dengar penjelasan kenapa tayar anda senget, tiba-tiba pomen anda sebut tulang anjing pula. Sebenarnya bukan tulang binatang yang dimaksudkan, tapi ia merujuk kepada komponen yang dikenali sebagai
rear control arm
 yang termasuk dalam sistem suspensi kereta anda.

Ia berfungsi untuk memastikan tayar kereta berada dalam kedudukan yang betul, menstabilkan kereta apabila anda membelok semasa memandu, serta memastikan kedua-dua tayar dapat berpusing pada kadar sama.

 atau tulang anjing. Sumber:

Antara tanda-tanda tulang anjing kereta anda perlu ditukar adalah:

Bahagian tayar kereta anda menghasilkan bunyi yang kuat apabila anda melalui jalan yang tidak rata.

Kereta anda tidak mampu bergerak dengan lurus dan stereng kereta sukar dikawal.

Tayar kereta haus tidak sekata.

Sarang Semut (
Valve Body
)

Jangan terkejut kalau pomen anda tiba-tiba sebut tentang sarang semut bila tengah jelaskan kerosakan yang ada pada kereta anda. Sarang semut yang dimaksudkan mungkin merujuk kepada
valve body
yang berada di bahagian kotak gear kereta anda.

Valve body atau sarang semut. Sumber:
Facebook Ezy Auto Transmission

Ia adalah komponen penting yang dilengkapi dengan injap yang menghantar minyak transmisi ke kawasan yang diperlukan untuk membolehkan gear ditukar. Jika komponen ini tersumbat, ia boleh menyebabkan pertukaran gear yang kasar dan kereta anda akan tersentap apabila dipandu.

Antara sebab berlaku kerosakan pada sarang semut adalah kebocoran minyak transmisi dan kegagalan menukar penapis minyak transmisi. Kalau dibiarkan, ia akan merosakkan kotak gear kereta dan lebih banyak belanja akan diperlukan untuk membaikinya.

Inilah antara contoh-contoh istilah automotif yang selalu digunakan oleh para pomen bila anda berurusan dengan mereka. Yang penting, kalau anda tak faham sesuatu mengenai kerosakan kereta dan proses pembaikan yang pomen akan buat, jangan takut untuk bertanya dan dapatkan maklumat lanjut mengenainya.

Pomen yang profesional akan cuba untuk memberi jalan penyelesaian yang terbaik semasa membaiki kereta anda. Mereka juga akan mengambil kira bajet dan keperluan anda jika anda berkomunikasi dengan mereka sebelum proses pembaikan dimulakan.

Jangan Simpan Barang Ini Dalam Kereta!

Jangan Simpan Barang Ini Dalam Kereta!

By

Ahmad Azwadie Azman

Kereta biasanya digunakan sebagai kenderaan untuk membawa manusia daripada titik A ke titik B. Ada juga yang gunakan kereta untuk pikat perempuan (terutama pemilik kereta model H). Tapi ada pemilik kereta yang suka simpan barang dalam kereta.

Macam-macam barang yang disimpannya. Daripada barang keperluan sampailah kepada dokumen kerja. Kenapa jadi begini? Senang, sebabnya mereka ini malas nak angkut barang daripada kereta ke rumah mereka.

Ataupun, ada juga yang malas nak bawa barang- mereka jika mereka singgah di mana-mana. Mungkin baru lepas habis kerja dan mereka teringin nak melepak kat mana-mana tapi malas nak angkut beg kerja sekali.

Kalau anda selalu buat begini, kami nasihat anda jangan amalkan perbuatan ini lagi. Itupun kalau anda sayangkan kereta dan nyawa anda sendiri. Ada banyak bahaya yang boleh terjadi jika kita gemar menyimpan barangan di dalam kereta.

Ini merupakan antara contoh barang yang jangan sesekali anda simpan dalam kereta anda:

1. Beg Galas

Zaman sekarang, orang lebih suka membawa beg galas ke mana-mana termasuklah ke tempat kerja. Dalam beg galas itulah yang diisi dengan pelbagai barangan seperti komputer riba dan gajet lain seperti pemacu memori keras (
hard drive
).

Jika beg galas ini ditinggalkan di dalam kereta dan tidak disorokkan, ia boleh menarik perhatian pencuri. Pencuri sanggup buat apa saja, termasuklah memecahkan cermin kereta anda untuk mencuri beg yang ditinggalkan.

Walaupun beg yang ditinggalkan itu tidak mengandungi barangan berharga, ia tetap akan menarik perhatian pencuri. Jadi apa yang boleh anda buat? Sorokkan di bawah tempat duduk atau simpan di dalam but kereta atau bawa saja beg galas anda jika anda mahu singgah di mana-mana.

Tetapi kalau kereta anda memiliki but terbuka yang boleh dilihat daripada luar seperti Perodua Kembara, anda bawa sajalah beg galas anda ke mana saja anda pergi.

2. Minuman Tin

Kenapa anda tak patut simpan minuman tin dalam kereta? Kerana ia boleh meletup dan mengotorkan kerusi dan bahagian dalaman kereta.

Lagi-lagi ketika pada hari yang panas, suhu akan jadi sangat tinggi dalam kereta. Peningkatan suhu ini boleh menyebabkan tekanan dalam tin minuman menjadi tinggi dan seterusnya meletup! Ia mungkin tidak akan menyebabkan kerosakan yang teruk tetapi anda tak nak kerusi kereta anda belengas dan melekit.

3. Pemetik Api & Tin Gas Pemetik

Sama juga seperti minuman tin, pemetik api dan juga tin gas isian semula tidak sepatutnya ditinggalkan dalam kereta. Terutama sekali jika ditinggalkan di tengah panas. Suhu persekitaran yang tinggi boleh menyebabkan tekanan dalam tin atau bekas menjadi tinggi dan menyebabkan letupan.

Tak seperti minuman tin yang hanya boleh menyebabkan kerosakan kecil dan mengotorkan kereta jika ia meletup. Kalau pemetik api atau tin gas pemetik api ini yang meletup, kereta anda pun boleh terbakar sekali!

Kereta Terbakar? Punca dan Cara Elakkan Kebakaran Kereta

Kalau diparkir dalam tempat parkir awam terbuka, kebakaran kereta merebak ke kereta lain dan boleh menyebabkan bencana yang sangat teruk!

4. Beg Tangan

Beg tangan merupakan ‘teman baik’ semua wanita. Semua benda termasuklah dompet  akan diletakkan di dalam beg tangan. Beg tangan ini juga menjadi sasaran mudah pencuri walaupun ia berada di dalam kereta.

Sama seperti beg galas, jika beg tangan tidak disorokkan dengan betul di dalam kereta, kereta anda akan jadi sasaran mudah untuk dipecahkan oleh pencuri. Sekalipun beg tangan anda itu kosong, kereta anda berisiko tinggi untuk dipecahkan oleh pencuri kerana pencuri ini tidak pedulikan undang-undang. Asalkan mereka dapat apa yang mereka nak.

5. Ubat-ubatan

Ubat-ubatan ini dikira sebagai objek yang sangat sensitif dengan suhu. Disebabkan itulah ubat-ubatan ini tidak sesuai ditinggalkan dalam kereta. Jika didedahkan kepada suhu yang terlalu sejuk atau terlalu panas, ia boleh merosakkan ubat dan mengurangkan keberkesanan ubat.

Kalau anda tak sengaja meninggalkan ubat dalam kereta terutama semasa cuaca panas terik, kami nasihatkan untuk anda buang dan dapatkan ubat baharu.

Anda tentu tak nak terkena keracunan ubat dan menyebabkan sakit anda bertambah parah!

6. Gajet Elektronik

Selain daripada berisiko untuk menjadi sasaran pencuri, gajet adalah sangat-sangat tidak selamat untuk disimpan di dalam kereta. Terutama jika kereta diparkir di kawasan yang panas terik.

Gajet yang disimpan mungkin boleh menjadi terlalu panas dan boleh merosakkan komponen sensitif seperti litar dan sebagainya. Suhu tinggi juga boleh menyebabkan kemampuan bateri gajet berkurangan.

Yang paling teruk? Gajet anda terutama sekali yang menggunakan bateri ion litium (Li-Ion) boleh meletup dalam kereta kerana terlalu panas. Dah terlalu banyak kejadian gajet meletup dalam kereta seperti
kejadian ini
yang berlaku di Malaysia.

7. Makanan Dan Minuman

Kalau nak memandu jauh, makanan dan minuman ni wajib ada. Tapi ada orang yang suka tinggalkan makanan dan minuman yang dibawa. Mungkin mereka lupa yang makanan dan minuman ini cepat rosak dan boleh menarik perhatian serangga seperti lipas. Siapa saja yang suka naik kereta bersama lipas? Bayangkan kalau ada lipas terbang semasa anda memandu!

Makanan apabila rosak, ia akan mengeluarkan aroma dan bauan yang tidak menyenangkan dan busuk. Bau busuk ini boleh meresap masuk ke dalam kerusi kereta anda. Bauan yang dah meresap masuk ke dalam kerusi sangat susah untuk dihilangkan!

Ini termasuklah bekas yang mengandungi sisa makanan. Untuk itu, kumpulkan sampah yang ada dan buangkan semua sampah sekali gus selepas selesai perjalanan.

8. Patung Berbentuk Manusia

Betul. Anda tak salah baca. Ada orang memiliki patung manusia untuk pelbagai tujuan, daripada untuk perniagaan hinggalah kepada pembelajaran (perubatan) dan juga hiburan (props penggambaran).

Jika anda memiliki patung manusia untuk apa saja tujuan, jangan simpan patung anda dalam kereta terutama di bahagian penumpang! Nanti esok akan tular kes ada warga yang meninggal dunia kerana sakit jantung selepas melihat patung dalam kereta yang disangkanya hantu!

Jangan balut patung itu dengan kain putih. Itu langsung tak membantu! Ceraikan bahagian patung dan simpan di bahagian but atau tutup dengan kain yang bukan berwarna putih. Anda juga boleh letakkan barangan lain untuk cuba sorokkan patung tersebut daripada penglihatan.

Kenapa Anda Tak Patut Simpan Banyak Barang Dalam Kereta Anda!

Anda tak sepatutnya menjadikan kereta anda sebagai tempat simpan barang. Selain daripada bahaya boleh dicuri, barangan seperti botol air yang mudah bergolek berisiko boleh tersangkut pada pedal brek seandainya ia tidak disimpan dengan kemas.

Pedal brek yang dihalang adalah resipi paling bahaya untuk kemalangan maut!

Artikel berkaitan:
Terlibat dalam Kemalangan? Ini Perkara yang Anda Perlu Lakukan!

Selain itu, barangan yang disimpan dan dikumpulkan boleh memberatkan kereta. Ia akan menyebabkan kereta menggunakan lebih banyak bahan api untuk bergerak. Jadi, jangan biasakan diri anda menyimpan pelbagai barangan yang tak perlu dalam kereta.

Jika perlu untuk anda simpan juga barangan sensitif seperti gajet, simpan dalam ruang papan pemuka. Beg galas dan beg tangan pula anda boleh sorokkan di bawah kerusi atau disimpan di dalam butt. Nak lagi selamat? Bawa sekali dengan anda jika anda mahu ke mana-mana.

Kereta anda bukanlah dibeli dengan harga yang murah. Ramai dalam kalangan kita masih diikat dengan pinjaman yang masih bertahun lagi lamanya untuk habis. Jadi jagalah kereta anda sebaiknya. Jangan jadikan kereta anda sebagai stor tempat menyimpan barangan.

Jadi, diharapkan tips ini boleh membantu anda dalam menjaga kereta anda dengan lebih baik dan anda boleh kongsikan tips ini kepada mereka yang suka simpan barang dalam kereta.

Apa itu Kereta Klon? Bagaimana Cara Elakkan Jadi Mangsa Penipuan Kereta Klon?

By

Ahmad Azwadie Azman

Penggunaan kereta klon dalam kalangan pengguna di Malaysia boleh memberi kesan kepada pemandu atau penumpang sekiranya berlaku kemalangan. Ini kerana, kenderaan klon tidak dilindungi oleh insurans dan secara tidak langsung boleh menyebabkan pemilik menanggung kerugian yang tinggi. Kereta klon mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran kereta terpakai kerana harganya dikatakan jauh lebih murah berbanding harga sebenar kereta dalam pasaran. Ia sekali gus menarik minat pembeli untuk memilikinya.

Model kereta mewah seperti Mercedes Benz, Volkswagon, Honda, Toyota, Mini Cooper, Subaru dan Volvo adalah antara
model kenderaan
 klon yang paling diminati serta mendapat permintaan yang tinggi dalam pasaran. Baru-baru ini tular di media sosial seorang pemilik Mazda yang kerap menerima saman atas kesalahan memandu melebihi had laju dan saman-saman lain di lokasi yang tidak pernah dikunjungi sekali gus menimbulkan kegusaran. Setelah disiasat, beliau mendapati ada individu yang tidak bertanggungjawab menggunakan nombor pendaftaran dan cukai jalan yang sama dengan kereta miliknya.

Apa itu Kereta Klon?

Kereta klon merujuk pada kenderaan bermotor yang digunakan di jalan raya yang menyerupai kenderaan yang telah didaftarkan di Malaysia. Ia biasanya menggunakan
nombor plat atau nombor pendaftaran kenderaan
 yang sama yang diambil daripada model serupa yang didaftarkan secara sah. Dalam erti kata lain, identiti kenderaan anda dicuri oleh penjenayah dan digunakan pada kenderaan lain untuk mengaburi mata pihak berkuasa. Kereta klon biasanya dibawa masuk melalui pelabuhan atau sempadan sama ada dari Thailand atau Singapura oleh sindiket.

Sindiket ini menyeludup masuk kereta daripada negara lain dan memalsukan dokumen, nombor casis serta nombor enjin sebelum dijual kepada pihak orang lain. Sindiket atau penjual kereta klon ini biasanya menjanjikan pelbagai keistimewaan untuk menarik minat pembeli antaranya menguruskan proses
tukar nama kenderaan

dan menjual kereta mewah terpakai pada harga yang murah. Setelah selesai proses jual beli kereta, sindiket ini akan menghilangkan diri sekali gus menyebabkan pembeli terpaksa menanggung sebarang kerugian yang timbul sekiranya tertangkap.

Dokumen dan Nombor Pendaftaran Palsu

Kereta klon diberikan identiti baharu termasuk dokumen berkaitan cukai jalan dan geran kenderaan setelah urusan jual beli selesai. Pemalsuan biasanya melibatkan kereta sedia ada dengan model dan warna yang sama.

Nombor Casis

Nombor casis yang diberikan merupakan nombor casis palsu. Ia biasanya diambil daripada kereta yang mengalami
kerosakan penuh (total lost) akibat kemalangan
.

Apa yang Berlaku Jika Anda Membeli Kereta Klon?

Secara amnya, individu atau pemilik yang disyaki memiliki kenderaan klon boleh didakwa atas
 kesalahan memiliki kenderaan yang tidak didaftarkan
. Jika anda telah tersilap membeli kereta klon, anda berkemungkinan akan mengalami dua kali ganda kerugian – kereta yang dimiliki dan wang yang dibelanjakan untuk membayar kenderaan tersebut. Oleh itu, sebelum membeli kereta terpakai, pastikan anda membuat semakan lanjut untuk mengelakkan anda daripada ditipu oleh sindiket yang tidak bertanggungjawab.

Pemilik kereta klon boleh dikenakan tindakan mengikut Seksyen 7 (1)
Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987
 yang boleh membawa kepada hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM2,000. Selain itu, jika didapati mempamerkan maklumat nombor pendaftaran palsu, pemilik berkenaan boleh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 103(3)(f) yang membawa hukuman denda tidak kurang daripada RM5,000 dan tidak melebihi RM20,000, atau penjara tidak kurang dan tidak melebihi lima tahun jika disabitkan kesalahan.

Pemilik kereta klon yang tidak mempunyai perlindungan insurans yang sah juga boleh didakwa mengikut Seksyen 90(1) yang membawa hukuman denda tidak melebihi RM1,000 atau penjara selama tempoh tidak melebihi tiga bulan atau kedua-duanya sekali.

Cara Elakkan Diri daripada Menjadi Mangsa Penipuan Kereta Klon

Ramai dalam kalangan pemilik yang tidak menyedari dan tidak mengetahui bahawa mereka sebenarnya telah terbeli kereta klon. Untuk mengelakkan anda daripada menjadi mangsa penipuan, CARSOME menyenaraikan tips berikut untuk mengelakkan diri daripada tertipu:

Ambil tahu kadar pasaran semasa kereta yang ingin dibeli. Lakukan tinjauan secara dalam talian melalui platform jual beli kereta terpakai yang tersedia seperti
CARSOME

dan sebagainya.

Elakkan berurus niaga sekiranya kereta ditawarkan pada harga yang lebih murah atau lebih rendah berbanding harga pasaran semasa. Kebiasaannya kereta klon dijual pada harga 50 peratus lebih rendah daripada harga pasaran.

Periksa Nombor Pengenalan Kenderaan atau
Vehicle Identification Number
 (VIN). Pastikan nombor yang tercatat dalam dokumen adalah sama dengan nombor yang tertera pada kereta anda. Kebiasaannya, nombor VIN boleh didapati di bahagian bonet kereta, cermin hadapan dan bahagian tempat duduk pemandu.

Elakkan melakukan transaksi secara tunai. Kaedah pembayaran secara tunai boleh menyukarkan pihak polis untuk menyiasat dan mengesan sindiket kereta ini.

Elakkan daripada membayar sejumlah besar bayaran pendahuluan secara tunai.

Jika anda membeli kereta daripada pihak persendirian, pastikan transaksi dijalankan di alamat penjual yang berdaftar. Elakkan berurus niaga di kawasan awam seperti kawasan tempat letak kereta atau stesen minyak.

Luangkan masa dengan meneliti setiap dokumen yang diberikan. Jika anda meragui kesahihan status kenderaan, bawa dokumen tersebut ke Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan untuk semakan dan pemeriksaan lanjut.

Sebelum beli, tanyakan kepada penjual nombor pendaftaran, tahun buatan dan model kereta yang ingin dibeli. Lakukan semakan lanjut untuk kepastian.

Beli kereta terpakai
 daripada pengedar kereta terpakai yang sah atau melalui platform jual beli kereta
online
 yang dipercayai seperti CARSOME.

Apa yang Perlu Anda Lakukan Sekiranya Identiti Kereta Anda Dicuri?

Jika nombor plat kereta anda dicuri dan digunakan oleh pihak lain, laporkan kepada pihak polis dengan segera. Dalam kes tertentu, anda mungkin tidak menyedari bahawa identiti kereta anda telah digunakan oleh pihak lain sehinggalah anda menerima
saman trafik atau saman-saman lain
 di lokasi-lokasi yang tidak pernah anda kunjungi.

Hubungi pihak yang berkaitan untuk penjelasan lanjut;

Kemukakan bukti sokongan yang menyatakan saman atau kompaun yang diterima bukan disebabkan oleh anda;

Buat laporan polis untuk siasatan dan semakan lanjut.

Selain itu, jika anda berminat untuk
memiliki kereta pramilik yang berkualiti

dengan keselamatan melebihi standard, keselesaan sepenuhya, dan esterik yang dibaik pulih, layari laman web CARSOME untuk maklumat lanjut. CARSOME merupakan

Here's How You Can Get a Guaranteed Job with Carsome Academy

By

Ahmad Azwadie Azman

There are many career paths you can embark on but it all boils down to factors such as your skillset, passion or your long-term goals. While there are many choices out there, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programs are gaining popularity.

In fact, TVET graduates are
said

to have an upper hand
 in securing jobs within a specific industry, compared to fresh college graduates. They are also in
high demand
 because they have specific skills that employers are looking for.

TVET offers both classroom education (theory), and hands-on practical job training (technical) to fully equip them for a specific skill such as becoming a motor vehicle inspector. So, let’s dive deeper into this.

What is TVET?

TVET is a training program that equips you with technical and vocational education to prepare you for a specific skill, within a specific industry – you may know it as ‘vocational training’ or ‘apprenticeship’, among other names.

Previously, TVET carried the misconception that it was for those who are less outstanding in academics but these days,
TVET graduates are attracting more employers
 because of the mismatch in skills within the industry when it comes to employability. The TVET program aims to provide valuable, practical knowledge and skills to increase their potential in attracting job opportunities.

Besides that, TVET is also part of the
Vocational Education Transformation Plan
 which aims to make Malaysia a high-income nation. TVET programs are offered at certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate levels in Malaysia, which are offered by various colleges or agencies – these certificates are recognized by several bodies including
the
Malaysian Quality Accreditation (MQA)
 and
Department of Skills Development (JPK)
.

In Malaysia, there are
two routes to enter a TVET program
– with Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Form 3 Assessment (PT3).
With this, SPM graduates have a choice of furthering their studies with a Certificate or Diploma in a highly skilled TVET program. This is also a common route for students who are less academically-inclined.

However, teenagers outside the education system without an SPM certificate but are PT3 graduates can opt for a National Certificate and Dual Training System (NDTS) – this is also known as Sistem Latihan Dual Nasional (SLDN). NDTS or SLDN are offered at public or private training centers (PLK) where they can enroll and also earn a Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) certificate.

What is NDTS (SLDN)?

NDTS is a dual training system that utilizes workplace and institutional training, specifically aimed to provide opportunities for PT3 graduates or those without an SPM certificate. This concept follows
Germany’s industry-oriented training concept
, where they aim to provide a skilled workforce to meet the requirements.

For example, if you are keen on a career in the automotive industry, courses such as
Carsome Academy’s Roadworthiness Course
 provides students, or school leavers that hold a minimum pass in PT3, with specific all-rounded training to be a certified motor vehicle inspector.

NDTS
 consists of between 70 and 80 percent of practical training (performance), with 20 to 30 percent of theoretical learning (knowledge).

Graduates from the NDTS program are presented with either one of the following:

Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) Tahap 1, 2, 3;

Diploma Kemahiran Malaysia (DKM); or

Diploma Lanjutan Kemahiran Malaysia (DLKM).

Earn a SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection Certificate with Carsome Academy

Carsome Academy is a NDTS, or SLDN training center which is accredited by JPK under the Ministry of Human Resources. The Academy offers great opportunities for those interested in the automotive industry, specifically in motor vehicle inspection.

Carsome Academy graduates are awarded the SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection, a certification recognized by Malaysian technical industries.

Currently, there are two programs – the Motor Vehicle Inspection (Roadworthiness) course, and the
Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu (PPT). However, both of these two courses are awarded with the same SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection.

What is the Difference Between the Roadworthiness Course & the PPT Program?

There are two main factors that make each of these Carsome Academy offerings different – the requirement or course entry points, and the course duration.

Motor Vehicle Inspection (Roadworthiness): a 12-month course with guaranteed job placement in Carsome

The roadworthiness course is open to those who have no experience in motor inspection or the automotive industry. Upon course completion, graduates have a guaranteed job placement as a motor vehicle inspector in Carsome.

This follows the NDTS or SLDN program with 30 percent theoretical lessons, followed by 70 percent  industrial training at any Carsome Inspection Center in Malaysia.

Course duration:
 12 months (three months of theoretical lessons and nine months of hands-on training)

Entry requirements:
Malaysian citizens below 30 years old and holds a minimum pass in Sistem Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga (PT3)

Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu (PPT): a fast-track course for experienced workers

Carsome Academy is also an accredited Recognition for Prior Achievement (Pusat Pengiktirafan Pencapaian Terdahulu, PPT) test center that offers the Program Penilaian Amali (PPA). This is a fast-track program specifically for technical workers from automotive sectors who want to obtain the SKM Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection certification.

The PPT assessment method is for working individuals with no formal qualification but are able to demonstrate skills outlined in the
 National Occupational Skills Standards (NOSS)
.

Course duration:
 three coaching (practical) sessions and a one-day assessment

Entry requirements:
Malaysian citizens with a minimum of three years working in the automotive industry

So, whether you are without working experience, or have experience but are looking to solidify your motor inspection skills with a SKM certificate, Carsome Academy is a road worth considering. To top it off, graduates of Carsome Academy’s Roadworthiness course can kickstart their careers with a guaranteed job placement in Carsome.

Here are Some Other Carsome Academy Must-knows

Besides that, these are some additional facts that are worth noting if you are considering enrolling with Carsome Academy.

The Roadworthiness course is RM8,000, inclusive of a registration fee.

Carsome’s Human Resource team will conduct a job placement assessment for graduates of the Roadworthiness course, after which they will be appointed as certified inspectors at Carsome.

Carsome provides study loans with Carsome Capital and there are installment plans available as well for self-paying students.

You are required to pay a RM500, non-refundable registration fee to enroll into a Carsome Academy course.

Carsome Academy provides accommodation with shared serviced apartments that are within walking distance to the academy for students. However, it is not compulsory for students to stay there.

Best Sleeper Cars That You Can Own For a Bargain!

By

Brian Wong

“I want a sports car!”, laments the inner child of every car enthusiast out there. While the likes of obtaining a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche may be too pricey out of reach, there exists a small community in the aftermarket tuning culture that revolves around modifying cars in Malaysia. Ever heard of the term,
sleeper cars
?
 According to Urban Dictionary, a sleeper car refers to a vehicle with an unsuspecting appearance of an ordinary or beater car but under the bonnet, it has been fitted and modified with high-performance parts. In addition, sleepers can also refer to cars that are loaded with a
race-ready engine
 that is highly tunable from the factory.

If any of you guys have watched Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, the antagonist, Gustavo Fring drives a Volvo V70 Estate. While it may seem like the perfect car for a low-profile drug lord hiding in plain sight or to transport fried chicken, the V70 generation is an improvement developed from the infamous 850 Estate which has racing roots. Back in 1994, Volvo enlisted the 850 Estate into the
British Touring Car Championship
 and scored third place overall and the best race finish in fifth place.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TphinAwzWp0

Bear in mind, the 850 Estate at that time was competing against the likes of sport sedans and compacts from brands such as Renaults, Nissans, Alfa Romeos, Vauxhalls, and Fords, who are known for their experience in racing. For a boring, family-oriented station wagon to score a fifth place in the championship, Volvo’s achievements in 1994 managed to shake the motoring world. Today, the Volvo 850 Estate is renowned for its highly tuneable inline-five-cylinder engine as a sleeper car though it still flies under the radar even among die-hard car enthusiasts. While the Volvo 850 Estate is now a 29-year-old classic, here are five models you can buy from
CARSOME
’s inventory for the ultimate sleeper car experience!

2018 Honda Civic TC VTEC 1.5

The iconic Honda Civic since its inception in 1972 has been an eponymous staple among the car community. Every car meet or track day you go, there will always, always be a Honda Civic there. Older Civics are still prized today for their cheap price, huge aftermarket support, and an experienced community in modifying them, making them an excellent sleeper car. The tenth-generation Honda Civic (FC) is a huge step up compared to its previous generation due to its small-yet-mighty 1.5L, four-cylinder turbocharged engine that generates 173 PS and 220 Nm of torque. All that power is sent to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. Don’t let that CVT fool you. The manufacturer claims that it makes the 0-100 kmph sprint in 8.2 seconds, this is a pocket rocket not to be missed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxFbZy_EOqE

In contrast, the Honda Civic can only be had with a naturally aspirated engine; turbocharging requires some aftermarket parts and handiwork from a workshop. Often the tenth-generation Honda Civic is fitted with the FK-8 Type-R’s body kit and engine parts giving it more power. Essentially, making it a baby Type-R. While the tenth-generation Civic has been discontinued by Honda in favor of the brand-new eleventh-generation, a used one has depreciated its value beneath the RM100,000 mark. If you’re looking for a pocket rocket of yourself, start browsing with the link below!

2015 Mercedes-Benz A250 Sport 2.0

Here’s another pocket rocket hailing from Germany that won’t break your wallet. The Mercedes A-Class had gone through two weird Smart Car-looking generations before it became the five-seater hatchback and sedan we know today. Although the
A250 is always outshined
 by its range-topping AMG variant, the base spec is not to be underestimated too. Both models, sedan and hatchback are powered by a turbocharged 2.0L, four-cylinder petrol engine sending 211 PS and 350 Nm to the
 front wheels
 via a seven-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZmhaDAksNo

Thanks to its powerful DCT technology, the A250 Sport gets lightning-fast shift times compared to a regular six or seven-speed automatic transmission. The result is a century sprint of 6.6 seconds from launch. Currently, the A250 Sport remains a bargain as a sleeper car among enthusiasts. Where are you going to get a turbocharged four-cylinder engine car with a Dual Clutch Transmission for under RM150,000 in the used market? This little German sleeper car depreciated almost half its price when it was released brand new in Malaysia. Slap on a race exhaust, ECU tune, a cold air-filter intake, race suspension, new tires, and sport rims, and you’ve bagged yourself a little weekend hill-fighter or a highway champion.

New vs Used Car: Which is Right for You?

2016 MINI Clubman Cooper 1.5

Everyone likes a good underdog in the race. Estates or Station Wagons may be a small niche in Malaysia, but this D-Segment car still has a sizable community even after getting phased out by SUVs. Like the Volvo 850 Estate earlier, the estate variant of the iconic Mini Cooper tends to be glanced over like
the middle child
 in the family. Ironically, for a car called Mini, the boot space is not to be underestimated, with a whooping
360-liter
 with the rear seats up and 1250-liter with the rear seats folded down.

Under the hood of this BMW-engineered Clubman is a 1.5L three-cylinder turbocharged engine with an output of 136 PS and 220 Nm (230 Nm on Overboost), all that power is sent to the front wheels, mated to a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. Now, being a station wagon, this car is on the heavy side, hitting 0-100 kmph in 9.1 seconds. This Clubman isn’t your average high-speed grocery-getter.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8O-gC6OBCA

Modifications and parts for the Clubman are easy to source. Just like its younger sibling, the Mini Cooper, the Clubman has its fair share of presence in the aftermarket scene. Slap on a brand new race exhaust, coil overs, and the sorts, and you’ll get a fun little sleeper car for the family.

2018 Volvo V40 T4 2.0

Here’s a living distant cousin of the infamous Volvo 850 Estate that dominated the BTCC of 1994 now obtainable below RM120K. In comparison with the likes of other German hatchbacks like the Golf and the Polo, this Swedish five-door hatchback sleeper car can still give them a run for their money. Don’t let this size fool you. This little Volvo is powered by a Drive-E 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine mated to a Geartronic eight-speed automatic transmission. The end result is a whopping 245 PS and 350 Nm of torque, capable of doing 0-100 kmph in 6.3 seconds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tShVU1ZmuF8

Evidently, there isn’t much love for the V40 in Malaysia despite its torque output being on par with the Mercedes-Benz A250 without the help of a DCT system. The eight-speed automatic makes maintenance cheaper and easier compared to a much more complicated DCT transmission in high-end performance cars. Much like a Japanese Toyota, Volvos will technically run forever provided regular maintenance is done quite frequently. Safety is an added bonus to this V40 too. In 2020, the Euro ANCAP awarded the V40 model as one of the
safest cars of the year
.
 A befitting choice for a company that invented and gave away the first
two-point seat belt
 to the world for free.

2015 Proton Suprima S Turbo Standard 1.6

Talk to any car enthusiast about what is the best car pre-Geely Proton has made, and they’ll tell you it’s either the Satria Neo or the Suprima S Turbo. Although the Satria Neo has seen mainstream success within the car community, I feel like the Suprima S is the dark horse of Proton’s automotive history. A car ahead of its time in Malaysia, this five-seater hatchback has Lotus’ magical touch on the car’s handling during the short stint when the tiger-branded national car held a huge stake in Lotus Cars Limited.

Say what you want about
Proton cars
 but there was a beautiful time when fan service was at the top of their minds in the early 2010s. Upon the Suprima’s release back in 2013, reviews were in a mixed bag due to the amount of sub-par quality vehicles that Proton had released prior. But if affordability is what you want, getting a family-oriented hatchback that is powered by a 1.6L turbocharged inline-four CamPro engine for RM80k was quite the bargain back then. The jointly developed engine with Lotus sends 138 PS and 205 Nm to the front wheels via a CVT transmission.

If you can get past the stigma of domestically made products, it was a decent and fun car for the middle class to own. It was powerful enough to get some smiles-per-liter and handles like an all-rounder for any situation necessary. Prices for the Suprima S have depreciated by a lot, now going for half of what they used to go for. Though we concur that prices may go up soon given a custom-built Suprima S has represented
Malaysia as the finalist
 for the
Hot Wheels Legends Tour
 this year.

Now, nearing the end of this article, you may be wondering – “Why isn’t the Perodua Myvi on this list?” We could add it to this lineup, but that would be cheating. The Myvi, in all its grace and glory, sits in another league on its own – the King. With a recession in the loom, these cars can also double as an investment asset should you get them when their prices have depreciated more than half after their launch.

Car Tips
Why Downsizing to a Smaller Car Is Good For the Malaysian Recession

By

Brian Wong

Since last year, I’m sure we’ve all seen plenty of news outlets reporting that Malaysia will be facing an economic recession this year. While
Bank Negara
 has assured us as of this month that the country will not plummet into a recession, it’s best to remain prepared as there are still plenty of unstable factors in the global economy looming over us.

Aside from refraining from high expenses, one such area where you can save a lot of money is in the choice of your car size. When a recession does come in full swing, it’s quite common to see luxurious cars being sold off into the used car market for a smaller, economically viable one. If you’re contemplating whether to sell off your luxury vehicle for some fast cash, here’s why downsizing your car is a smart move for the upcoming Malaysian recession.

Initial Cost

A general rule of thumb is to understand that cars are
depreciating assets
. Let’s start with the main benefits of downsizing to a smaller car – you get a smaller initial purchase cost. A used Perodua Viva, for example, will go around RM20,000 in the used market. Say you trade in your BMW or a Mercedes at a used car dealership for some fast cash, and after purchasing a used Viva for your daily commute, you’ll still be left with a lot of money. It’s a win-win solution that doesn’t break the bank. With some leftover cash, they can be used to cover other expenses such as housing, food, and other necessities. If you’re a fresh graduate looking to get a car for your daily commute, buying a brand new car can be dangerous as it is one of the leading causes of young Malaysians
facing bankruptcy
 in the country.

Conversely, demand for
used cars
 will also go up during a recession. A bad economy will force consumers to look for more affordable means of transportation. With new car prices out of the question, the masses will turn to the used car market to save money. When demand for a certain commodity increase, so does its price. It’s just a simple supply and demand logic. Your humble little Myvi at home can fetch a much higher price in the used car market if you decide to sell it off.

Should You Buy a Car in a Recession?

Cheaper Road Tax and Maintenance

Trading a large 2.5L car for a smaller 1.5L one can save a lot of money on fuel and road tax.

Cars with smaller cubic centimeters (CC) have smaller road taxes, are fuel-efficient, and won’t hurt as much when you need to refill petrol. The current Nissan Almera that I drive daily is a 1.5L, four-cylinder engine. On average I only need to refuel once every five days for around RM57. The Nissan Almera is just one of the few cheap economy cars that will remain triumphant when the recession strikes.

Don’t let the size of engines these days fool you too. Modern engines in economy cars like the Perodua Ativa or the Daihatsu Ayla (sold in Indonesia) have turbochargers to accommodate their small CC engine of 1.0L. They’re not built in for power but rather for fuel economy.

Downsizing your car can also ease the wallet on maintenance. Smaller cars are more reliable and fuel-efficient than any gas-guzzling V8 or V12. Anything more than a six-cylinder inside your engine will be problematic to maintain due to additional mechanical complexity. If you have to choose a smaller vehicle, opt for domestic or Japanese-branded cars as parts are easier to source than Continental cars. Smaller cars also run on smaller tires making them cheaper to replace. The cherry on top of a smaller car is it is cheaper to insure than a full-sized luxurious one.

6 Tips to Prepare for a Recession as a Car Owner

Small and Nimble to Drive Around

The natural progression in technology has made car engines get smaller but their output can rival sports cars from the 70s and 80s. Small engines these days can pack a punch above their size. Take the three-cylinder Tiny Friendly Giant (TFG) engine powering the Koenigsegg Gemera for example. Apart from its revolutionary engine design, the TFG has an output of 590 hp and 600 Nm of torque without assistance from its electric motor! Ok, that’s too far-fetched to be featured in an economy car but you get the point here.

Source:
Road and Track Magazine

Closer to home, most Malaysians still have a
stigma against downsizing
 to a smaller engine. If you can look past the numbers, there are cars offered in Malaysia that have small engines yet have proven naysayers wrong. The success of the
Proton X50
 and Perodua Ativa despite being powered by a small-yet-mighty turbocharged three-cylinder engine. A smaller CC, combined with a shorter wheelbase also means it’ll be agile around corners and easier to navigate around town efficiently.

Try reverse parking with a Ford Ranger compared to a Honda Jazz, which one gets the job done faster?

Good for the Environment

Lastly, downsizing to a
smaller car
 can also be beneficial to the
environment
. If you’re someone who’s environmentally conscious yet unable to afford an EV, get a small used car. Buying a used car skips the exploitation of natural resources and emissions created during the process of making a brand-new car. This can be an important consideration for those who are concerned about their carbon footprint and the impact that their lifestyle choices have on the environment.

Regardless of your stance on downsizing your car, an economic recession may sometimes force your hand to sell off your beloved car just to make ends meet. But fret not, there is always a chance to locate your ride and buy it back when the economic situation turns for the better.

Ultimately, it all boils down to each different individual’s lifestyle and choice. Buying and selling off a car is a huge decision and we strongly urge you to weigh the pros and cons before biting the bullet. Would you be ok trading in a large SUV for a small and nimble hatchback?

Perodua Myvi 2018 - Price in Malaysia, Specs and Reviews

By

carsomeadministrator

The 3
rd
 generation Perodua Myvi made its debut last week, with lots of interesting facts and figures that stunned many. But it doesn’t stop there. There are some details we simply could not miss out on. How does the new Myvi fare, and could it retake the crown as the best-selling car in Malaysia for years to come? Read on to find out.

5,000 pre-launch bookings made

As of publication, there have been over 6,000 bookings for the car already made. 5,000 of those bookings were garnered in a week before the car was launched last Thursday. According to Perodua, 78 per cent of the early bookings were on the new colour, Granite Grey 1.5L variant. Perodua CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh has reiterated that they aim to sell 6,000 units a month on average. To put that into perspective, that’s 72,000 new Myvi’s for the whole of 2018. Can Perodua do it? We think they can.

Newer Engines

There are two engines in the new Myvi, a 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre DOHC Dual VVT-i producing 94 and 102 hp respectively. The 1.3-litre unit is also found in the brand’s current Bezza. As for the 1.5 unit, it is completely new and is found in the group’s Toyota family. Both engines are built locally at Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan. In addition, the aluminium-block engines are lighter and build to perform more efficiently and adheres to stricter Euro 4 emission standards.

Bigger, longer and wider

The modern interior and dashboard of the 1.5 AV.

On paper, the new Myvi is longer by 20.5 cm, lower by 3 cm, wider by 7 cm and has a longer wheelbase by 6 cm. What is interesting though, is that the interior space has certainly grown. The tandem distance between the front and rear passengers is a large 93.7 cm. If you’ve viewed the car, you would’ve noticed this seated at the rear. Boot space is a full 277-litres, 69 more than the outgoing Myvi. Perodua has also put together an 8 plus 1 flexible seating layout.

Aerodynamics

That lowered height of the new Myvi does contribute to a better drag coefficient overall. How much better? From 0.306 to the current 0.296 Cd. The semi-flush rear spoiler, Aeroslim wipers and air spats do help. On top of that, the acoustic windshield massively reduces NVH levels when the car is in motion.

Better economy with Engines and Eco Idle

It is stated that the all-new Myvi has on average 32 per cent more efficient than the outgoing second generation. As below, the km per litre figures are provided as an estimate by Perodua, while we have calculated the litre per km as the following.

Perodua Myvi

Km/ litre

Litre/ 100km

1.3-litre Manual G

20.5

4.88

1.3-litre Auto G

20.1

1.3-litre Auto X (with Eco Idle)

21.1

4.74

1.5-litre Auto H & AV (with Eco Idle)

20.1

4.98

When the Eco Idle is activated, it is able to provide up to 1 kilometre more on the road on comparing a test done on the 1.3AT Myvi. Eco Idle is a stop-start feature whereby it makes the engine goes into a partial-deactivation mode when putting a foothold on the brakes. This feature was first seen in the Bezza launched last year.

Vehicle Stability Control

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is a system that improves vehicle stability by detecting and reducing skidding while being on regular roads. How this works during emergency avoidance is through sensors in the vehicle that accounts for ABS, steering and throttle by assessing the potential skid, cutting power and applying the necessary brakes to counteract the slide. Traction Control (TC) works closely with VSC and is standard now across the range.

5-Star ASEAN NCAP

ASEAN NCAP is a new introduction to the list of NCAP organizations all around the world, which aims to be a benchmark for safer production vehicles in the region. To be certified 5-star for this All-New Myvi, it is an impressive statement. Do take a closer look on this crash test video conducted on the Myvi that showcases its crashworthiness.

The upper body of the vehicle is completely designed in-house and has been a 99.9% effort from the ground up. The skeletal frame of the new Myvi uses high-tensile steel and said to be 2.5 times more robust than its predecessor. The design team even placed additional bracing and reinforcements in strategic areas like the edges to increase body rigidity.

As shown in the circle: There are seat belt reminders to alert the rear passengers.

There is a Seat Belt Reminder that alerts the driver, front & rear passengers and adds extra precaution to safety. In any point of time that the seatbelts are not put on, a warning will light up immediately to remind the passengers to do so promptly. Add this with four airbags as standard, and a further six airbags on the 1.5-litre variants and you’ll understand why the new Myvi has managed to get that rating.

The mystical purple Myvi that flashes a touch of mystery to its body.

Sport Rim Original
 atau
Sport Rim
 Replika – Mana Satu Lebih Sesuai?

Anda mungkin tertanya-tanya sama ada anda ingin membeli
sport rim original
 atau
replika
,
sport rim
 terpakai atau baharu untuk kereta anda. Carsome membantu anda dengan menyenaraikan dua faktor yang boleh anda pertimbangkan sebelum membeli sport rim kereta idaman anda:

1. Bajet atau Kos

Anda perlu menentukan tahap kewangan anda sebelum anda boleh membuat keputusan untuk membeli
sport rim
 idaman anda. Bajet dan kos memainkan peranan penting dalam membantu anda membuat keputusan sama ada rim
original
 atau replika, rim terpakai atau baharu sebagai pilihan anda. Rim
original
 SSR Type F 15 inci baharu dijual pada harga sekitar RM4,000 atau lebih. Manakala, rim
original
 SSR Type F 15 inci terpakai pula dijual antara RM2,000 hingga RM3,000 bergantung pada keadaan rim tersebut. Rim replika baharu jenis sama pula dijual pada harga sekitar RM700 hingga RM1,000 dan rim replika terpakai dijual antara RM400 hingga RM600.

2. Faktor Keselamatan

Anda juga perlu mempertimbangkan faktor keselamatan sebelum membuat keputusan untuk membeli mana-mana aksesori tambahan kereta. Malah, anda juga perlu mengambil kira corak pemanduan anda, keadaan jalan dan sebagainya supaya dapat mengelakkan anda daripada membuat keputusan yang tidak tepat. Rim
original
 melalui proses kajian dan penyelidikan yang terperinci sebelum dijual di pasaran. Perkara ini bertujuan untuk memastikan rekaan sesuatu produk dapat bertahan dalam pelbagai jenis pemanduan, cuaca dan tahan lebih lama. Manakala, penggunaan rim replika mungkin menyebabkan anda terdedah kepada risiko kerosakan atau kemalangan. Rim replika selamat untuk digunakan, namun anda disarankan untuk sentiasa berwaspada dan berhati-hati.

Cara Kenal Pasti
Sport Rim Original
 atau
Sport Rim
 Replika

Banyak
sport rim
 yang dijual di pasaran tidak kiralah sama ada
sport rim original
 atau
sport rim
 replika. Penting untuk anda supaya dapat membezakan kedua-dua jenis rim ini untuk mengelakkan anda daripada membeli rim replika yang dijual pada harga rim
 original
.

1. Cap ‘
Made in…
‘

Rim original
 Jepun misalnya mempunyai cap ‘
Made in Japan
‘ di bahagian luar dan dalam rim. Anda juga boleh melihat pelekat pengeluaran pada rim. Namun begitu, anda masih perlu berhati-hati jika anda merujuk pelekat ini kerana ia biasanya boleh ditiru dan dihasilkan semula. Rim
 original
 lain termasuklah
OZ Racing
 (Itali) dan
Evo Regamaster
 (Rusia).

2. Berat dan Bunyi

Berat rim tanpa wayar pula lebih ringan berbanding rim replika. Anda juga boleh kenal pasti keasliannya dengan melagakan rim tersebut sesama sendiri. Rim
 original
 menghasilkan bunyi yang berlainan daripada rim replika disebabkan oleh cirinya yang lebih ringan.

Namun begitu, pemilihan
sport rim
 kereta yang baik bukanlah sekadar mempertimbangkan faktor kualiti atau jenama semata-mata, anda perlu juga mengambil kira faktor cita rasa, kewangan dan jenis kereta anda. Selain itu, jika anda sedang mencari
 kereta terpakai atau kereta
second hand

yang semestinya menepati cita rasa, bajet dan keperluan anda, layari laman web Carsome – platform

Squealing Brakes Are a Cry for Help. Bring It to a Stop before It’s Too Late!

Squealing Brakes Are a Cry for Help. Bring It to a Stop...

By

Amarnath

At some point or another, every car owner’s probably endured that ear-shrieking sound from their brakes that’s reminiscent of fingernails scraping across a blackboard. The intensity varies but one cardinal rule to follow is that the signature squealing noise from the brakes can indicate larger problems beyond the horizon and should be addressed immediately.

Your car’s brakes are probably the singular most important system because while your car not being able to move is infuriating at best, not being able to stop is probably lethal.

The only bright side from your brakes squealing is its function as a siren pointing towards potential problems brewing.

What Causes the Squealing Sound from Your Brakes?

While it might seem pretty obvious that friction is the offender, that’s also the principle behind your brakes’ intended function of safely bringing you to a halt. Nonetheless, noisy brakes shouldn’t occur if everything is functioning satisfactorily.

The simplest reason, however, and one that usually disappears after a few minutes of driving, is light surface rust. This can be attributed to moisture on the surface of the brake rotors forming a layer of rust.

Malfunctions in Car Safety Features and How to Check Them

If you paid attention during science lessons back in school instead of lusting over the cars you’ll have in your dream garage, you’ll recall that water and oxygen can cause rust on iron. And what is the most common material used in the production of brake rotors? That’s right, iron.

This is pretty common after heavy rain or if you’ve just washed your car as water droplets will stick to the rotor’s surface. However, seeing that it’s just minor surface rust, the squealing will disappear after some driving as the friction from the brake pads removes the rust.

Yes, it can be that simple but luck isn’t always on our side.

If you notice that the squealing noise from the brakes is constant, it’s probably time to have a qualified mechanic have a look at things. This could be a sign that some brake components are beginning to reach the end of their lifespan or fail.

Your brake pads are designed to emit a squealing sound as the pad material runs out and the wear indicator comes in contact with the rotors. That’s intentional, however, and meant to remind you to get your brake pads replaced.

Seeing that frictional force is the basis of your brakes’ functioning, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that wear and tear is a given with the components. Similarly, to the brake pads, the brake rotors also wear down over time.

Brake rotors have a minimum thickness for safe operation. You’ll be able to find the digits engraved on the cross-section side. Using a simple caliper, the mechanic will be able to determine if the rotors need to be replaced. Once the rotor has gone below the minimum thickness, you must replace them.

Skimping on rotors, pads, or brake shoes is a definite no-no. You can probably prolong the
service interval
 between other components but never the brakes as these are the direct parts responsible for slowing your car down.

Something to keep in mind is that replacing your brake pads doesn’t necessitate replacing the brake rotors but if you replace your brake rotors, always replace the brake pads at the same time.

Proper and Safe Driving Attire

Wrong Selection of Brake Components

Some of you enthusiastic drivers might wrongfully be under the impression that the most performance-oriented brake pads are always the best bet. That would be true… if you were driving in the highest level of touring car
racing
.

If you’re not – and zooming up Genting Highlands doesn’t count, you’re better off with an entry-level set of brake pads that’s a step up from the regular ones.

The issue with high-performance brake pads is the higher temperature threshold required for them to function safely with constant hard braking that will see things getting more than a little toasty behind the wheels.

Anyone that runs high-performance brake components will preach that squealing is a given at cold temperatures or low speeds. The reason behind this is the brake pads work best within that temperature window. Low speeds keep it cold and outside that optimal performance window, causing the squealing noise.

Porsche has even produced a video regarding the squealing noise from its high-performance brakes to help customers and motorists, in general, understand why it happens.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUNHb9O52WQ

If you don’t participate in spirited driving, the best bet is to retain the same factory-spec brake pads that the car came with initially. Those operate in a lower temperature window that is suited for daily driving and the lower speeds we see in urban motoring.

Being within its lower temperature window ensures there’s no squealing and that the brake pad bites well in cold conditions without requiring a little driving to warm up.

Lastly, never forget to bleed and replace the brake fluid according to the recommended service interval as well. Brake fluid can get oxidized over time. This leads to moisture and other contaminants building up in the fluid. The side effect of this would be a spongy brake pedal feel. If your brake fluid is discolored, it’s time to get it replaced.

What to Do during a Tire Blowout and How to Avoid Crashing?

Properly Running in Your New Brake Components

Remember when we recommended replacing the brake pads if you’re getting a new set of brake rotors as well? That’s just one part of the process. New brake components also require running-in for a short period of time to properly bond the rotor surface with the brake pad.

Overlooking the running-in period or not adhering to it will cause squealing.

Ignorance of this cardinal step can lead to the brake pads wearing out unevenly as it doesn’t sit flat against the rotor’s surface. We’re pretty sure you can guess the side effects of this, squealing noise and in a worst-case scenario, vibrations.

How Do I Run In My New Brake Components?

Most experts recommend the slow and steady approach. This more civilized technique requires you to drive as you would normally and refrain from extremely hard braking for the first 500 kilometers or so. Of course, if there’s an emergency, please apply the brakes hard but if you can, avoid it for that duration.

During this first 500 kilometers, the brake pads will slowly shape themselves against the rotor surface and sit perfectly. This allows the brake pad compound to apply itself onto the rotor surface. This soft approach to breaking in would suffice if you only use your car for daily commutes.

Conclusion

All vehicles come with a recommended service interval for your brake components, just like it does for all other wear-and-tear parts. Keep to it and you should be perfectly safe.

However, bear in mind that while you can drive an extra 100 kilometers past your
engine oil’s
 service interval, you shouldn’t with your brakes. Engine failure can be rectified but if your brakes fail, let’s just say there might not be anything left to repair.

Remember, it’s not an issue if you can’t get moving but it’s definitely a problem if you can’t stop.
