Engine Sensor issue in chevrolet optra 1.6

Image
Recently i notice that the engine oil indicator on my chevrolet optra 1.6 light up when i was driving.. A quick check on the engine oil and water shows everything is normal..but another check on the engine sensor shows sign of engine oil leaking from the sensor.. If anyone get the same symptom go and have your sensor replace. A normal workshop will charge you around rm140 including labor to change this engine sensor but the sensor itself only cost rm70 If anyone want to get cheap chevrolet optra parts..feel free to contact me via email :) Stop those service center from charging you sky high price..

PJ Volcar Service Centre Sdn Bhd is Lousy....

Image
I send my car to PJ Volcar in Jalan 222 for servicing. A major one which include top overhaul. After 3 months of usage the engine gasket is leaking ...and they claim they change the gasket for me again.. But after another 3 months when i do my normal car service in another workshop in glenmarie..shared auto services...i get a shock of my life.. The technician told me that the metal nut that hold the screw is missing. Please refer to the picture below.. I call PJ Volcar and complain but they seem to ignore me and claim that they will not honor this type of problem as they claim they have change the gasket seal once and if it leak again is not their problem. WTF...The root cause is because the stupid engineer in PJ Volcar lost the nut and when they tighten the screw on the engine top it break the gasket cover.. I would not recommend any Chevrolet car owner to goto PJ Volcar service center. Stay away from that service center at all cost...Yeah not to mention that their price is very high.

Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010

Image
My recent visit to the Kuala Lumpur Internation Motor Show is lil dissapointed.. I feel that other major car brand like BMW, Mercedes, Toyota, etc is not really participating here as i dont see any concept cars from them.. However Proton and perodua booth is the boldest here...with their catchy Perodua Bezaa set to steal the limelight... There are not many car accessory booth too..compare to the previous KLIM i think this one has the least number of booth selling accessories..or maybe it is just my feel.. As usual many photographer crowd this place to take advantage to improve their photography skill photographing ahemm models... As usual i see lots of hardcore using all sort of device to capture the photo of the model ranging from Sony PSP with a cam, and camera from handphone.. In this visit i use Olympus E-P2 with panasonic Leica summilux 25mm f1.4 to try and capture the beauty with available lights..but sometime the light is just not enough that i resort to use the FL-50R flash..bu

Butterfly Park KL - E3 vs E-P2. Part1

Image
This is my first visit to butterfly park..not much species can ba found there ..only the few common one...like the famous rajah brooke. The park was quite run down..ponds with death fish..is not what exactly i have in mind.. Macro of a butterfly wing This is their food. My gear of the day is Olympus E-3 + Zuiko digital 70-300 vs Olympus E-P2 + Zuiko digital 50mm f2.0 And also a FL-50R flash to share among these 2 setup. Both are macro lens giving 1:2 magnification. It is not so bad carrying these 2 setup cause e-p2 is quite light. Some claim that the butterfly is fast and constantly moving..but the real trick in capturing their photo is to know them. Butterfly in the farm feeding time is at around 9 am in the morning. You will notice more of them come and feed on the nectar more frequent compare to let say 12pm. So even if you are arm with a Olympus PEN with slow AF you can still get a decent picture of the butterfly. Just like chinese strategem always say.."To win the war , know

Olympus E-5 Review from a E-3 user perspective...

Image
I am an Olympus E-3 user. And recently at the Olympus User Gathering sponsor by Olympus Malaysia.. i finally have a chance to test the Olympus E-5 the Olympus flagship SLR aim to replace Olympus E-3. I was hoping that the E-5 would meet my lust to upgrade my old trusty Olympus E-3. SIZE When i first glance at the Olympus E-5 it look so similar with Olympus E-3. Well i was hoping for a smaller and lighter version of Olympus E-5 but i guess the engineers in Olympus all have big hands...and the body of the Olympus E-5 is made of the same magnesium alloy body...Why cant they make it smaller???? C-AF AUTOFOCUS The first thing i test is not the sharpness nor the dramatic tone art filter so overhype by many reviewers. The first thing i test is actually the C-AF because i was never satisfy with E-3 C-AF. This AutoFocus mode is suppose to track moving object. I ask my fellow friend blu to help me hold a spoon and keep on moving from left to right at a very slow speed. Then i set the Olympus E-5
