1) Change power steering reservoir (managed to get blue devil power steering leak fluid to stop leak in perhaps the hose and other parts) .. problem solved
2) Air-Con blower unit.
3) " refresh and disinfect " air con (by KAH motors for like $400 bucks.. crazy!)
4) Shock absorbers changed
5) front brakes warp .. so replaced
Hi, hope u can share the cost of replacing the aircond blower unit, shock absorbers(front n back)? N the cost of the front brakes(pad n rotors)?
Did u do it at Kah or outside mechanic?
Thanks for sharing....using a feb 08 odc rb1 too....
I did all outside..
Blower unit - ~$150
Shock absorbers (labour ~$80 per absorber, bought the parts from stockist)
Front brakes ~$300 in total.
One thing to note about the shock absorbers - the original shock absorbers has a hook that is supposed to hook on to part of the car (right at the top part) In order to mount this properly, by right you're also supposed to strip the rear door panels, take out the covering so that you can place the rear shock absorber properly
Outside mechanics won't take the trouble - they'll just loosen the bolt from the top, remove the shock absorber and then jam it up again (more often than not the shock absorber hook will be bent or destroyed)
I have the photos if anyone cares to see.
