spare part perodua

Although spare wheels are no longer offered in many premium cars (replaced with either run-flat tyres or tyre repair kits), spare wheels are still important for consumers shopping at the lower-end of the price spectrum. Prior to the Perodua Ativa’s (D55L) local launch, many Facebook users were saying that the Perodua Ativa doesn’t come with a spare wheel. This is not true. All variants of the Perodua Ativa come with a spare wheel. Full sized ones too, not those skinny 60 – 80 km/h speed limit sp

On the surface, the air filter and spark plug you bought from your neighbourhood spare parts shop look just like the original item, except that you’ve paid just a fraction of the price you would have otherwise paid at an authorised service centre. But little do you know, the spare parts you just bought are in fact counterfeit items, not original as what the shop owner told you. Counterfeit spare parts have been floating around in the market for the longest time, but how do you identify which is

An increasingly prevalent practice for carmakers nowadays is to sell buyers a car that comes without a spare wheel (wheel, in this context is tyre + rim). In its place could be run flat tyres, a tyre pressure monitor system, or a more agricultural solution like a tyre repair kit. Many buyers are up in arms because of this, grumbling that carmakers are shortchanging them, or putting more expensive solutions in place. But let's dig deeper and ask ourselves, is this a valid argument? Do you really

Your car ownership experience isn’t complete without having at least one flat tyre incident. For this, manufacturers have given us full-sized spares, space-savers, run-flat tyres, and even tyre repair kits. What you have in your car has been pre-determined by the manufacturer. The question is, which is the best? The answer depends on the type of driver you are, the type of commute you do, and where you live. Each option offers its own pros and cons. 1.

Good news to old Perodua model owners because Perodua has just made body parts much easier to access! Perodua has recently invested a cool RM 7 million into centralising parts production of past models. The investment goes into a new 1,600 metric tonne press stamping machine placed in their supplier IQM Sdn Bhd’s facility. The new hydraulic press will produce parts such as bonnets, side outer panels, rear outer panels, fenders, doors and roofs for past Perodua models like the first-generation My

Previously, we took a look at Proton’s first foray into the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). This time, things are looking a lot more different for both Proton in the UK and the BTCC as a whole. The highs of the nineties which saw iconic liveries and carmakers competing against one another had been reduced to become more grassroots-oriented in the 2010s. This also saw fewer manufacturers competing in the constructor's title because the cost to run the team could be very expensive. To hel

We’ve started to see more Ativas on the road too, and Cik Tiva doesn’t attract as much attention as she used to in the first few days. Worn out excitement aside, there are some little plus points that we find worth highlighting, in case the thought of buying an Ativa ever crossed your mind.

2021 Perodua Ativa已经正式上市了，而它也搭载了许多大马车型独有的配备。 钢制尾门就是这些独有配备之一，这与日规版的Toyota Raize和Daihatsu Rocky是完全不同的，后者采用的是PPGF（玻璃纤维增强聚乙烯）尾门。 推荐阅读： 2021 Perodua Ativa正式在我国上市：标价RM 62k起跳，搭载1.0 L Turbo引擎，动力输出98 PS/140 Nm Perodua之所以放弃轻量化的PPGF，转而使用传统的钢制尾门，最关键的原因就在于我国缺少能够处理如此大的塑料模具的相关设备。 而要投资一个能够生产这件PPGF尾门的模具，其成本也并不便宜，因此Perodua决定放弃这个配备，为Ativa换上了钢制的尾门。 因此，Perodua Ativa和它的钢制尾门（以及备胎）加在一起，重量达到了1,035 kg，这比Rocky/Raize重出了不少，后者的重量仅为980 kg。 推荐阅读：Does the Perodua Ativa (D55L) come with a spare wheel? 2021 Perodua Ativa是首款采用涡轮增压
