On the first week of May, my Telstar broke down again. Suddenly, the engine shut down by itself. Can start, drove 200-300 metres then Engine died again. It happened 300metres away from my house. “Limped” the car slowly to my House.
This time I called AAM to tow (instead of AIA) to my Workshop. Upon inspection, it’s the Distributor which needed change. I left the car at the workshop for 2 days as my foreman cannot find the “Distributor”. New and original part was RM900++. In the end, he had to resort to a used unit (from Chop Shop) for RM370 (add another RM90 for workmanship..
As I typed this, the Telstar only done 130km +/-. Why?
It’s because my dad’s in Vietnam for 2 weeks, hence his Civic FD2 is driven by me. Without further ado, let's proceed to Logbook:
