Mileage: 97,878KM
100K service is due and I decided from now on to do the service at non-authorized service centre. This is a quick service and I have visited the same workshop twice. The service was done on the second visit and the first visit was to fix my engine mounting issue. No pictures for the first visit but I attached the bill here for reference.
Another 2,122KM to 100K
Oil filter housing, dried out and ready for fresh oil
On this time around, I did encountered mounting issue again. There is a slight knock when moving forward or reverse from stand still.

The tightness!
The bill for the 100K service, below is the bill from previous visit.
UPDATE: July 6th, 2013
Well, the bottom engine mounting fails. It emitted a slight “thud” sound whenever the gear is engaged. The sound is louder when moving thus I took the car to the workshop couple of days before to pinpoint the exact location of the “thud” and it was the bottom mounting.
It’s a tedious job to dismantle the bottom mounting
The “lemon” mounting
My approval to use OEM bottom mounting bush backfires me this time. Cheaper but only can withstand the engine load stress for couple of months. Too much elasticity…
For this time, I opted for the original part and the workshop willing to absorb the labour as the compensation (it was their idea anyway to use OEM).
