Hi daddycool,

No i am not doing sales......just like to enjoy my ride.
Suspension? Hmmm.....is there anyway i can ask to check on the condition?
And by the way, how much is the cost for changing to original suspension.

Any other servicing parts to take note of?
Brake fluid, anyone ever change before? at what mileage?

Ya. How to check suspension? Recently I notice my ride had been sway left right on straight road but no problem crossing hump. I had installed anti-roll, strut, front 2 and 4 bar. Even my CO had also complain the ride is rough now.

Hi sutoh80,

U might want to go check out your wheel alignment and balancing.
Go check it out faster, or else one of your wheels will wear out faster on one side.

yup bro st80, i concur with bro rudy! better take some time off to have it checked, better safe than sorry!

Thanks Bros for the advise. I intend to go JB to check on new shoes for my Freed. Thinking of changing to Continental MC5. My size is 205/50/16. Heard selling ard RM 300 for each tyre.

BTW, I still think Jap Freed is more stable than Indo freed. I had own both before and I can feel the difference. Maybe is because of the height of the wheel arch. Do you notice the wheel arch of Indo freed is bigger?

Anyone can adv?

how many litre we need for our gearbox oil?
Planning to change it and CASTROL MTF 80w90 suitable?

Yo Jack,



I bought a 3.5 litre CVTF from a JB workshop around RM130(plus labour)
Castrol MTF 80w90? I thought is better to use back stock transmission fluid?

Hi people,

I have learnt from a colleague of mine telling me that the Radiator coolant need to be replaced every 2 years.
It was not suppose to use normal water in it as it will cause rust within the Radiator tank.
Anyone know what/where to buy this coolant?

Hi Sutoh80,

I am thinking of changing my set of tyres as well....you want to go change together? Hopefully can get better discount for 2 cars.
I am thinking of changing to(choice of 3):
1) Goodyear S$140 (River Valley Road) + Free Nitrogen top up.
2) Your recommendation, Continental Tyres RM$300. Where?
3) Back to Falken RM$260/tyre at Taman U.

Hi Bro Rudyliii,

2 cars go no discount. I went with my friend and they are firm with the price.

I change at Hawk Tyres at Southern City in JB. Initially wanted to buy Continental MC 5 but was talk into buying Goodyear Directional 5 by showing me all the comparison.

Continental MC 5 can be found between RM 300 to 350 at JB tyre shop ( very big Conti signboard) depend on the shop. It is made in Malaysia.

My Goodyear Directional 5 cost me RM 350 (205/50/16) made in Thailand manufacture in week 50 year 12. The price package come with computer alignment, Nitrogen, and balancing. I trade in my 6 mths Yokohama ES 501 for RM 80 each. So after trade in is RM 270 per tyre.

So far the new tyre serve me good. It quiet, hard side wall and good braking in the wet and dry.

You may want check with them

wah bro rudy, you really sayang your FREED! want to go change leather cover together?


anyway this coolant issue is quite interesting as i have seen on TV that there are better and more efficient coolant in the market.
i also want to learn more and want to know what kind of costs we are looking at! hope any HFSG members can share their experience or knowledge![b]

Yo Daddycool,

I have found out from a malaysian workshop which i regular go to.
THey charges me RM$35/litre and our radiator require 4litres to fill up.

Leather cover change.....i have think of that as well.
Any good quotation u got from your side?

rudy,

where is this workshop?

bobby

Hi bobby,

The workshop is at Tun Aminah area. Do not venture there alone...
The place has high crime rate. I would suggest you to check out any other workshop to compare with the quotation that i have put up.

hahahaha. ok thanks.

Hi people,

Any idea what sort of coolant should we get for our Freed's radiator?
Is this the one?





Did u guys read that black line " Do not add water to this anti-freeze coolant"
I saw my workshop ppl, always top up normal water for me on the radiator!!! sheeexxx.....i think have to drain and re-top up with this coolant.

wah bro rudy, i think our default coolant not so good! but if you are changing, you have to get very professional help;

and not any ikan bilis workshop! mechanic must know what to do and how to do!!!

The ikan bilis workshop is actually in Singapore.
Mega Auto, at Sin Ming Area. They're quite big actually. Various branches.
They take over STARs Motor Inssurance workshop.

That is the thing i am confuse too.
Perhaps i didn't look hard enough, i did a google search on Honda Authentic Radiator Coolant. All the results come out to be Anti-freeze related coolant.
Will check with stockist about the coolant thing.
