[QUOTE="ozone, post: 343989, member: 71"] Finally, after 13 months of owning this car and and putting in about 25,000 km on it, the dreaded problem has arrived. Car had difficulty changing into gear. AB confirmed today it is the leaking actuator and perhaps wet or worn out clutch. It does not happen all the time, only in bad traffic jams. AB checked the actuator oil level at it was nearing empty level. Any they quote me RM 2k for clutch and RM 4.6k for actuator. Wormanship is about RM 1.5k. Said might be other parts that need changing but depends on what they see when they open it up eg flywheel etc. So I am facing a mnimum bill of RM 8k. Worse still, actuator no stock and takes 10 days to arrive from Germany. AB records show that both items wer changed in 2006 when mileage was 20k plus under warranty. So that means lifespan of the item is about 40,000 km. and I am not a roug driver. Luckily it is bonus month otherwise I am dead.:eek: [/QUOTE]
