Kelisa 850 - The Last Plug Coil Failed

semalam aku rasa kurang power, gayanya seperti plug coil kaput, atau beroperasi dengan dua silinder sahaja.
hantar ke pomen selepas solat Jumaat.

memang sah plug coil kong.

untuk kelisa ada 3 plug coil. 2 plug coil telah binasa sebelum ini. kali ini giliran plug coil yang ketiga. kos adalah sebanyak RM65 - original but second hand plug coil.

kita boleh mengandaikan plug coil baharu perodua mampu bertahan selama 10tahun, tetapi dengan 3 plug coil second-hand, tiada jaminan untuk sampai ke 10 tahun.

tiada jaminan apa-apa.

Kelisa 850 - Fuel Cap lost!

kebiasaannya, aku akan menggantungkan fuel cap di pintu corong fuel ketika mengisi minyak.

mungkin aku terlupa menutupnya, yakni menjalankan kereta tanpa menutup corong bahan api. Ini menyebabkan ia (mungkin ) jatuh di jalanan. demikianlah taqdirnya.

cap tersebut berharga RM6 di kedai spare part.

lampu signal kiri belakang terbakar.
di samping itu, nombor plate juga hilang sekali dengan sarangnya.

standard plate berserta nombor ialah RM12.
nombor yang kemas sikit RM16.
sarangnya RM12 kalau tak silap, ia untuk mengelakkan plate daripada senang pecah.

Kelisa 850 - Tukar Cermin Pintu Belakang Kanan

disebabkan rusa masuk bengkel, maka aku terpaksalah menggunakan kelisa untuk semua urusan. dengan takdir Allah, didapati cermin pintu belakang kanan telah letak seribu. mungkin akibat pemotong rumput yang memotong rumput di taman? kerana kelisa tu aku parkir di hadapan rumah, di sisi jalan. walau bagaimanapun, demikianlah takdirnya, hayat cermin tersebut adalah sehingga hari ini sahaja. mungkin semalam?

hantar ke kedai, selepas tawar menawar, dipersetujui harga siap upah pasang ialah RM130. tidak pasti sama ada harga ini sesuai atau tidak, kerana tidak bertanya kedai lain.

Rusa 1.3EX - Lampu Signal Tak Menyala

44050km

pada mula-mulanya aku mendapati aircond kadang -kadang terhenti sementara. keadaan ini berulang beberapa kali. mulanya aku berfikir kerana suhu kabin telah sejuk maka ia auto shutdown. tetapi kemudian berlaku pula waktu suhu kabin panas. kemudian didapati blower tidak lagi berfungsi untuk suatu jangkamasa yang lebih lama. kemudian aku dapati ketika blower tidak berfungsi, speedometer, fuel meter, temperature meter, handbrake indicator , engine oil indicator, battery indicator , signal indicator dan signal light juga tidak menyala. lampu utama masih menyala, high beam indicator juga masih menyala. emergency signal masih menyala dan lamupu signal juga menyala ketika menggunakan emergency function. cuma jika guna untuk memberi signal ia tidak berfungsi.

oh ya, wiper dan pemancar air juga tidak berfungsi.

apabila check di kotak fius di bawah dashboard, semua fius masih elok.
suspek wiring ada yang dah lusuh ke, lebur ke di mana-mana.

hantar ke pomen.

didapati ada masalah sambungan di belakang kotak fius menyebabkan current yang tidak cukup sampai ke kotak fius. kata beliau , sepatutnya kena tukar keseluruhan kotak fius, tetapi beliau buat by pass sahaja.

aku lupa bertanya, apa yang dimaksudkan dengan bypass. adakah ia bermaksud fius -fius tersebut tidak lagi berfungsi?

caj RM15.


rupa-rupanya beliau telah membuang terus kotak fius.

How Serious Can a Blown Head Gasket Be?

  B18B1 Head Gasket

---

The head gasket is located at the top of the engine block under the head. Its purpose is to contain engine compression and to separate the three liquids in the engine from each other. If the gasket is "blown," meaning if it fails in its purpose, the consequences are serious and action must be taken to correct the situation. The cost of a new or slightly used gasket is inexpensive; however, the labor is costly, as accessing the engine and head gasket takes time.
Some vehicle owners may not be aware of the significance of a blown head gasket or because of the costs involved, may choose to ignore the problem. A blown head gasket is serious and can only get worse, so to find a replacement, people shop at auto parts stores and online merchants like eBay Motors. When searching, consumers should know the function of the head gasket, the types of head gasket failures, the consequences of a blown head gasket, and how to fix the head gasket.

Overview of the Head Gasket and what Causes Failure

The internal combustion engine is standard in cars, trucks, and motorcycles. The engine utilizes a spark from the spark plug to ignite a fuel/air mixture that explodes in the cylinder. The explosion moves a piston that turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft transfers that energy to the transmission and onwards to the wheels. The head gasket helps keep this explosive system contained.
The lubrication system is the oil that circulates between the engine parts and allows them to move freely with less friction and heat buildup. The coolant system’s primary function is to reduce heat. The head gasket seals the lubrication fluid, the coolant fluid, and the fuel/air mixture away from each other and prevents them from escaping outside the engine block.

Causes of a Blown Head Gasket

When the head gasket fails, the consequences are serious and they can become worse if the problem is not addressed. Therefore, it is important to know some of the main reasons that head gaskets fail in order to prevent failure. The main problems are discussed in the following chart.

Type of Failure	Description
Operation	Ignition timing is incorrect or the cooling system is inadequate
Installation	The factory may have had errors in materials, bolts, and sealers, or the engine construction was faulty
Design	New vehicle models may have weak gasket designs or engine difficulties that cause thermal stress

The main causes of gasket failure are in the design room, the factory, and in the engine’s support systems. While vehicle owners can do little about design or installation flaws, checking the vehicle’s operating systems is advised after purchasing, and throughout the life of vehicle.

Consequences of Head Gasket Failure

If the head gasket fails, the three liquids can cease to perform their individual functions, which will cause the engine to underperform or stop performing. If the engine experiences deficits in performance, the problems flow downstream to engine parts and other vehicle systems. If any of the three liquids is allowed to mix, the engine and other vehicle systems can suffer short and long term deficits, and dangerous conditions may arise.

If the Liquid is Lost

When either fuel, coolant, or oil is lost due to leakage, it can create a messy condition, but is not serious as long as the fluid is topped up. To keep the engine fluids topped up though, the owner would need to be aware of the condition. If the coolant fluid or oil is allowed to stay at a low level, the engine can overheat and warp engine components.

If Fuel Mixes with Coolant or Oil

Serious engine damage can occur if the coolant leaks into the fuel cylinders. The coolant raises compression levels and the coolant superheats. The result is broken or warped pistons, valves, and other components. White smoke from the exhaust is a sign of mixed fuel and coolant. The white smoke is partially steam, which can cause damage to the catalytic converter. The combustion in the fuel chambers, when mixed with engine oil, can cause the oil to burn. Blue smoke from the exhaust indicates a fuel and oil mixture.

If Oil Mixes with Coolant

When the oil and coolant mix together, they contaminate one another. Their purpose in either lubricating and cooling is compromised and can cause fatal destruction to the engine. To know if this condition is present, the vehicle owner should know some of the signs. Coolant with oil contamination presents as an oily film first, then a discolored texture, ending in a brown sludge. Oil with coolant contamination looks like milk chocolate on the oil dipstick, the bottom of the oil pan, the valve cover, the oil cap, or the crankcase breather.

Seriousness of a Blown Head Gasket

A head gasket, like other mechanical systems, usually suffers and fails at its weakest point. The weakest points are the areas between cylinders where the material is thin, the subtle variations in the thickness of the metal, and the insertion points where the bolts affix the head to the block. These weak points are exacerbated in the design stages, during factory or aftermarket installation, or because of the operating conditions in the vehicle.
The situation is serious as replacing the head gasket is labor-intensive and expensive. It is also serious because other operating conditions may have caused the problem, which may be time-consuming and expensive to repair as well. Additionally, the blown head gasket may have caused further problems in other engine parts or caused irreversible damage to the engine.

Fixing a Blown Head Gasket

If the blown head gasket has caused catastrophic damage, a complete engine may need to be installed or a new vehicle purchased. If the engine is redeemable, the head gasket should be replaced. When replacing, consumers should search by the make, model, and year of the car and obtain the newest generation of head gasket possible along with updated instructions and newer generation tools. Vehicle owners should follow the instructions carefully so as not to damage the gasket during installation or cause damage to the engine in the future. Alternatively, people should engage a professional to do the job. To replace the head gasket, a few major steps are required.
The first step is to remove the cylinder head from the engine block to expose the head gasket. Both the head and the block should be inspected for damage, flatness, or any problems that may have caused the gasket to fail or may cause future head gasket failure. Both the head and block should be cleaned with solvent and lightly brushed to remove debris. Sanding or polishing the surface can also help remove any residue. Do not overwork the surface; use a bead blaster, or hammer on the head, block, or gasket, as overworking or damages are irreversible.

Head Gasket Installation

Use a gasket dressing or sealer, preferably one recommended by the gasket manufacturer or compatible with the gasket’s material. Some people prefer to let the dressing cure for twenty minutes to an hour before placing on the block. Place the head on the gasket and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for torquing the bolts. Some installers complete most of the torquing, and then wait overnight to finish the final squeeze of the bolts.

Buying a Head Gasket on eBay Motors

To find a new head gasket, or any engine component, you can visit eBay Motors. There, you will find sellers with automotive experience and the latest in engine components. Whether you are looking for a new head gasket, a slightly used one, or a refurbished one, you can use the categories and refinement filters to search. You can also use the search box from any page, as that is often the quickest way to find the exact head gasket you are looking for.
Finding reliable sellers is easy, as you can look at the feedback provided by previous customers to eBay’s top-rated sellers. You can also find a local seller if you prefer to do business in person. If both parties are comfortable, you can see the head gasket and take immediate delivery if satisfied. If shipping is involved, be aware that many sellers offer free shipping and have reasonable return and exchange policies to make you more comfortable.

Conclusion

A blown head gasket is a serious issue, as mechanical problems in the vehicle may have caused the problem and will need fixing. In addition, the head gasket problems may have caused engine failure or serious damage to the engine components, and that situation will need addressing. It is a devastating problem to experience, because fixing it will cost the vehicle owner time and aggravation if he or she is doing the work, or it will be expensive to have a professional fix it.
Many vehicle owners are not aware of the signs that indicate that the head gasket is failing or has failed, or it could fail so quickly that nothing can be done to prevent it. Because a blown head gasket is so serious, vehicle owners should do their best to perform regularly scheduled maintenance and prevent operating problems before they occur. If the head gasket does blow, people can buy new ones from brick and mortar stores or online marketplaces like eBay Motors. Browsing is easy on eBay, as the site has a vast selection of automotive parts from expert and reliable sellers.

Rusa 1.3 EX Water Pump

kesinambungan kepada masalah high temperature tempoh hari, pada 28 Disember 2013.

melihat sekilas lalu, berdasarkan ciri-ciri fizikal, puncanya ialah thermostat. setelah enjin dibuka, didapati memang thermostat bermasalah.

setelah menukar thermostat, masalah masih berlaku, suhu masih tinggi.
kononnya masalah water pump.

setelah menukar water pump, temperature masih tinggi.
foreman mengambil masa beberapa hari untuk mengenalpasti punca sebenar.

akhirnya, pada hari ini,foreman mengatakan bahawa alhamdulillah masalah tersebut telah berjaya diselesaikan. puncanya, water pump tersumbat dan ia telah berjaya dibersihkan, wallahu a'lam.

enjin boleh jalan dan tidak mati tiba-tiba, namun demikian, saya dapati temperature masih pada takuk yang di anggap tinggi. ini memusykilkan saya, atau sebenarnya ia adalah normal untuk Rusa?
