So I was heading out to meet my client, suddenly the car had a power surge. It's not entirely killing the engine, it just doesn't move as it would usually. No matter how I fiddle with the accelerator, the car seems went to limp mode, driving very slowly and jerking forward. I feels like going to vomit. Left me no choice but to take a huge detour, instead of meeting client, went and meet my mechanics.
After some troubleshooting, found out these spark plug leads are acting up. My mechanic put in a set of leads and went for a test drive, and confirm it was the culprit. The leads itself set me back RM150, that's like 35 dollars. Just before I left the premises, saw oil dropped on the floor. I thought it was from other car and after conducting some serious inspection, apparently it's my own car. The drive shaft bearing cover is broken 🥴
Since they're the Renault specialist, they don't sell knock-off or replacement branding parts. The part they offering was RM320 exclude labor charges. And I drove to my usual tire shop and ask them to had the cover replace. And whilst they're doing that, found the engine mounting was broken, so they did both all together. And the damage was, RM165 for both items inclusive of labour charges 😂 Sorry Renault, I just can't afford to spend that much. I bought the car for 500 only.
On an unrelated note, I got this from a friend which I think I need to share.
Read the service docket description 😂
