car problems...
recently, the engine develops this funny squeaking noise once the Drive gear is engaged, and the air-condition turned on. the sound is that loud I could hear it in the car when I lower the player volume...
flushing out the engine oil and transmission fluid...
went over to my air-con mechanic to ask for his opinion. verdict - maybe engine pulley not good liaw... need to check...
then went over to change my engine & transmission oil. asked the other mechanic what seemed to be the problem. verdict - one of the engine mountings (driver side) crack liaw... as the noise only occurs when the air-con is engaged, and gear shifted to "D". plus previously about 2 years ago already got a mechanic friend of mine who told me that the engine mounting got one minor crack... so this time the problem might have been abit worse... sien...
looks like it's time to go 4G63 shopping just in case this 4G18 of mine decides to retire anytime soon... -_-
on a separate case, we have been such regulars at Havana Club that the taukeh-nio has been giving us happy hour rates despite the time...
the front...
4 mugs for RM25... what is there to complain??
less noisy, cool night breeze...
and staring at the night-lit Kuching road...

Iyo like that engine mounting crack also wanna change engine.... sot ah you.
Engine mounting crack / broken is very normal la. After several years driving the engine mounting is the first thing to break. It's made of rubber to dampen the engine vibration.
I see a bottle of Idemitsu beside your car? What spec is it?
hahaha... well, apparently the mounting crack is just a minor one, not that big a deal...
changed the 2 engine belts already, and now the engine is running damn smooth... hehehhee...
that's a Idemitsu Semi-Synthetic engine oil... :) pretty good stuff... anytime better than those shell or mobile crap...
Nice to hear your car is okay now. At least now you're enjoying your ride. I just hope that i can drive my car without any car problems after the fix. Got an uncomfortable cabin. My car is still in the garage but i'm pretty hopeful that the new nissan blower motor resistors and timing belt are installed now. Goodluck to me.
