Wow, didn't know the tape cost that much?

If we buy online and ship over it's only around RM200+ but local shops would certainly charge more (as always)

Yeah, last saturday went to Ah Wai wkshop at Desa Tun Razak to ask him to fix the angel eye on my car, after he had dismantled the head lamp...found out that mine is not compatible so he just told me to go to any accesories shop and try some other bulb. Wahhhh. what a waste just bought it from bm268 for RM300. Instead A Wai offered me if I want to put the Teflon tape, its original from BMW (imported) for RM500. He only allowed RM20 disc. Yes it did the job the creaking sound totally disappeared, though its a bit expensive but i'm happy the sound have disappeared totally.

Actually I'm using my own solution. You can put Velcro + silicon spray which will work to remove the noise too (based on my research on the Internet). The telfon tape is not a permanent solution because after a while, the sound will come back. Although I've never had the teflon tape applied but I read and got this from other people's experiences during my research

 

[Major Noh]

Wow! that's cheap enough, I should have seek all sifus' advise first next time. Thanks ess530i.

 

[Major Noh]

2. Oil Filter (1 pc) - RM48
3. Engine Flush - RM20
4. On Wheel Balancing (4 pcs)- RM60
5. Wheel Alignment - RM65
