[QUOTE="aircooled, post: 468734, member: 3840"] well, 4 year old car with 86,000 kms requiring an overhaul? That is bad. That shows the quality of Protons. making poor people like us poorer. but i am not surprised, they cannot even make power windows properly, so can't really expect them to make quality engines either. For the record, my friend's 11 month old Gen2 has had 7 power window changes....yes 7, TUJUH, 3 radiator changes and now, power steering leaking. and now i hear full overhaul at 86,000kms. Looks like getting nearer to the Guiness World of Records already. Anyway, personally , i would go for an engine swap. a little more expensive and troublesome, but can upgrade at the same time. Master mechanic Mr. Tan. Interesting, i would like to check him out. It is always a pleasure dealing with good, knowledgeable, skillful, enthusiast mechanics. Focal Point, some questions 1. What is his specialty? What cars he works most on? 2. Does he speak good English? Can he read and write? Sorry if you may find this offensive, but this is one criteria that is my priorty when choosing my mechanic. 3. HAs he got the access to factory manuals on the cars he works on? [/QUOTE]
