Total spent about 3.5k for the week...However, on Friday,  after a brief stop at a petrol station near One Utama, the car started with a weird sound and went dead. Further efforts to start the car were futile. Called up Raymond and he sent one of his technicians to check out my car... What we initially thought would be faulty sensors did not seem to be the reason. Had the car towed back to Raymond Auto Works in Sunway Damansara and upon further inspection, it was discovered that the exhaust camshaft was broken, much to my horror. As such, Raymond recommended that a top overhaul should be performed as there was a little bit of sludge in the engine as well. After lying in the workshop for 10 days, finally work is going to commence today. Sigh, has anyone ever heard of a broken camshaft and how it can break? Really sad that I'm unable to drive my car for 2 weeks + , due to the long break as well as the time needed to fix it. Any cost estimates?</p></blockquote><p></p>
