Peugeot 5008 AC Compressor Replacement

I am inquiries several shop to have my AC fix from Peugeot Service center to AC specialist. All of them indicating the problem with my compressor. The cost to fix ranges from RM2000 - RM5000. Finally, I decide to fix my AC at Millennium Jaya Auto. To make sure the replacement compressor can last longer I also need to service the filter. The filter is located together with the condenser. Unfortunately original 5008 filter is unserviceable. It enclosed inside the condenser. So I need to get my condenser replaced also.

Fixing a Bi-Fold Door

It is common to have a Bi-Fold door install as a toilet door. It is flexible, space saver and water resistance. After a while 3 to 4 years depend on your usage the Bi-Fold door will become stuck and not easy to fold. Most of the time this is due to the broken roller at the bottom of the door.

Broken Roller

I have been asking around for a replacement part. Unfortunately it is not available. Most hardware stores suggest me to replace the door. I found a quick fix to the problem.


Step 1: Dismantle the door from it frame. 

The door hook at the frame at 4 parts. They are the rollers. 2 are moving and another 2 are fixed. The roller guide is adjustable by a spring. You can push inwards to take the guide off the rail. Do that to all the 4 rollers. Take down the door and lay it down on the floor.


Step 2: Swap the rollers.

All rollers can be pull out from the door and they are all the same. Swap the faulty roller with the ok one (You can swap with the fixed roller). After you done put back the door to it frame. And your door will function as new

Peugeot 5008 Car Battery Replacement

Recently I sent my car Peugeot 5008 for a service and I was advised by the mechanic to replace my car battery. This is after almost 2 years. The last time changed after 1 and 1/2 year. I asked what will be the total cost for a replacement, he said around RM500 ++. Last time it cost me around RM455 and it took me 1/2 a day to get my battery replace. The car battery was DELKOR DIN60L.

I think it is quite expansive. I decided to get it changed some where else. It is very hard for me to find the car battery size DIN60L. I search around and I found this service from internet http://baterikeretamurah.blogspot.com/. I contacted one of the agent and he told me they don't have size DIN60L (this is for brand Century, Bosch and GP Maintenance Free). 

I search around and open-up my car battery cover which not straight forward for the first time, however I managed do it. I found that with size DIN60L there are still some spaces around 4 cm in length for the battery holder. After finding out the DIN66L battery measurement, I believe my car can fit DIN66L size battery. So I decided to call them up and get the replacement with DIN66L size battery. It fits nicely and work perfect. The best thing it cost me RM310 with no service charge.
