In short, 3 major issue happen with by BB Lion last year alone... which EACH caused heavy damage to the wallet:
1. Exhaust crack issue: http://my206club.blo...ust-system.html
2. Air Conditioning Leak issue: http://my206club.blo...oning-leak.html
3. Fuel Pump Leak issue: to be written soon... one day...

Bro, i read about ur aircond leak...its quite pricey la. one of these days, i'll drop by my air cond guy at shah alam and get a quote from him. Ppl see us driving pugs and they happily slaughter us. Haizzz... Form my experience, denso receiver drier is about RM80, expansion valve is about 100+ and I'm definitely sure cooling coil does not cost more than Rm500, based on all the contis I've driven before..anyway, I'll check and let u guys know. Usually I top up gas and compressor oil for RM20...if just normal servicing/cuci + top up gas is about RM100+
Speed does not kill. Stupid driving does

Thanks bro! Yup... it's pricey, but that time don't know where to send, if send to authorized SC, it'll be worst, probably triple the price? And also that time the problem quite serious already... Anyway, do share when you find out about the price, will be good to know what's the price range.

Normal servicing/cuci means dismantle the dashboard and clean the cooling coil? If yes, than I think it's worth it, but how long does it take?

hi bro

from your picture, at the pollen filter there,
seems like you have some plastic cover inside it (near the strut mount)

Mine just bare metal there,
and water will always stall there during rain (cause it goes deep inside on right hand side),and not flow away

i wonder did they miss out to give me the plastic thing from factory...
knowledge is power
