defective timing belt causing me a bomb. It still have 15,000 KM to go before need to be replaced (every 60,000 KM) but mine decided to fail and chewed my engine parts with it. :(
Car stalled on the exit curve to KL _Seremban highway, 1.5 KM from my exit to my home. I panicked at first, don't know what to do. Called up Maybank Auto assist and they sent a tow truck (RM 70) and towed to the workshop. Next day went over to teh workshop to see my air/fuel/exhaust valves are badly bent & damaged, and some of my valve heads literally broke to pieces!. I'm paying this through the nose I said. True enough, a replacement head, gasket, new timing belting & engine oil & labour to cost me rm 650. I asked the mechanic to repair my defective central locking & rear passanger window and it goes up to rm 700.
I spent the whole weekend playing diablo on playstation. Pouring my angst to every demon and undeads I came across in the catacombs. And on sunday we went to shop for munchkins' clothes & jeans. Sorry I wasn't a good company on sunday. Can't take my mind of the car.
The car will be ready later today and I will be a fortune poorer. I'm just thankful to Allah that it happened to me while I'm driving. I hate to think that it could happen whiel munchkins were driving to & fro class. I'm goignt o look after our car better start erm tomorrow.
