hi guys,

i'm on the verge of getting rexton 2.7xdi. fall in love with the interior build. atlhough the ride is more lorry-like rather car-like (maybe i'm wrong on this) but i think it is ok for me. i have the following questions hoping you guys could help.

1) what is the common breakdown/problem with rexton 2.7xdi?

2) does this car have gearbox failure & how much normally is the repair cost?

3) common spareparts - driveshaft, shock absorber, bearings, bushings - is this available easily in Penang?

4) can anyone share price for common spares like driveshaft & shock absorber. i think this 2 items is good enough as a benchmark.

5) err....this question might not be very smart - are there anyone here used to be or know the previous owner of rexton 2.7xdi APF6121. wanted to know if this unit is "safe" to buy.

i'll put in some deposit tomorrow so i still have tonight to review my decision on this unit. hope to get useful info from sifus here.

thank you guys

hi guys,

i'm on the verge of getting rexton 2.7xdi. fall in love with the interior build. atlhough the ride is more lorry-like rather car-like (maybe i'm wrong on this) but i think it is ok for me. i have the following questions hoping you guys could help.

Rexton original suspension is too soft, can improve by adding rubber damper and changing to harder absorbers.

1) what is the common breakdown/problem with rexton 2.7xdi?

The most common issue is the Vacuum Modulator that cost RM250 to replace DIY with just 2 screws and few hoses.

2) does this car have gearbox failure & how much normally is the repair cost?

All cars can have gearbox failure but if you maintain proper care and use the right ATF Lub, your gb will last better and not to forget this GB is from Mercs. Recond gb cost around RM5k but if components problem cost much lesser.

3) common spareparts - driveshaft, shock absorber, bearings, bushings - is this available easily in Penang?

Shouldn't be a problem to source parts in PG or thru Hub. Plenty of active bros in PG that meet up regularly.

4) can anyone share price for common spares like driveshaft & shock absorber. i think this 2 items is good enough as a benchmark.

OEM Absorbers (Hyunkai) is RM100 each and main driveshaft is RM1,100 but can just replace the T-Joint.

5) err....this question might not be very smart - are there anyone here used to be or know the previous owner of rexton 2.7xdi APF6121. wanted to know if this unit is "safe" to buy.

Maybe you meant AFP as APF is not out yet.

thank you guys

No need to rush to make deposit, exchange contact with Bro Nik to test drive with you before deciding.

rex4545- it is AFC, my mistake. yr made is 2004 not 2005. car previously own by a co. probably lawyer's firm. mil 80k+ buat i agree with Nik that can be tampered.

kenny, i'm in mainland. where are you?

my main initial concern were spareparts & i was actually half-hearted on my decision but after long chat with Nik i am very excited now. racun baik. not sure i should thank him or not for that smile_thumbup.gif

what is the max price you guys think is max for yr2004 xdi270(1)?

do you know anyone else selling good unit - (i'm interested only with black color, black leather with memory seats)

You can read from the forum here on the problems, servicing and spare parts.

One of our bro, Errierext is thinking to sell his, perhaps you can PM him to check. His one comes with lots of goody like sport rim, low profile tires, Eco Map, jet exhaust sound, etc
