Awu lah aku mau jua ceta sal si 1M kan.

So for the last two or three weeks, things weren't going too well with 1M (more like went sick for a moment). I had problem with the central locks not working. Thought I shorted something while I was changing my interior lights. After some troubleshooting, figured was I only blown a fuse. Replaced the fuse, and everything's back to normal, phew.

Following the next few days, I was cleaning my engine bay when I found out that my vacuum hose was breaking down again. Just to let you know, a bad vacuum hose can lead to unstable idling and loss of engine response. It can even shuts down your engine tetarus when you're driving slow (yes, Auto cars buleh mati engine jua when there's something wrong with the engine). But it wasn't at a point where the hose bucur abis, so kira okay masih lah. Fixed with some cheap tapes for now (Will get some OEM hoses at some later time, ngah).

But the problem doesn't stop there, even the water radiator hose was breaking too, bad news. I couldn't fix that one because I would need to replace the whole hose. To fix it with some tape, it won't last long with some more than 90 degrees water coolant gushing through that hose. Still, it's not that bad.. only a small leak but I still need to be more attentive to my water coolant levels now as the level dries faster than it was.

THEN, (awu ada lagi).. my kick-down pedal switch broke. What the hell, macam makin betambah. Need to send the car to the agent to check on that one. And finally, the freaking left passenger door doesn't work normally. Mesti cuba balik2 buka, baru tebuka pintu. Even the window doesn't work anymore. I know a friend who did that, luan cecapi.. Antak nya pintu ku twice kuat berabis. Kan ku tampar pulang tu, tapi malas ku.. bini-bini jua lah kan. Rusak pulang pintu ku. Malas ku sabut nama nya.

Hmm..

BUT on the brighter side of 1M, I've been washing and waxing the car more and more lately (trying to restore the paint and deepen the depth of the color) with my new washing . Replaced the front sidelights LED from white to blue (I know, I'm just experimenting how it looks like):

Front blue LEDs Sidelights:

Interior lights:

Side door lights:

Boot light:

Then also, I wanted to update the interior of the car since the outside always get done first. By next week, the interiors will be recushioned/refurbished/whatever. Just done the door cards for now:

Before:

After:

I've also changed the rather-cheesy looking ceiling fabric to something more plain and generic looking. It was the same design/pattern as the door card (yang macam di pintu ah: weird Beige Polygons type of pattern, before changing it to fabric-black as of now). Changed the ceiling fabric now to plain grey.

Really, my mum yang pilih those designs way back then before I officially had the car keys. It doesn't even match the door pillars punya colour yang warna grey banar nya. I'll get better pictures of the interior once everything's done.

Other little bits of 1M: "SEAT" Wheel caps, Mudflap, and bought myself a "SEAT-Sport" Lanyard. Semangat jua ku turun kraja pakai lanyard atu with my Work-tag kan, hahaha.

SEAT Wheel caps:

Si Mudflaps:

Sorry if this update seems too long. Awu, nanti tah aku masukkan gambar banyak-banyak to make it more interesting to read through next time. Ane sikit saja pulang, more to texts, blah.

Until next update:
- Front/Rear Seats cushion to be done.
- Front Projector Angel lights yang macam kereta Pimp Hj. Affandy (Huahaha).
- New engine bay hoses and new kick-down switch module.

- Fix the Left Side Passenger Door.

Then my car's will be perfect again. BAH OUT.
