My 308 had just clocked almost 40,000km and due for periodic maintenance. Today is a public holiday and is another fine day for DIY mechanical inspection prior to sending the 26-month old 308 [OTR] to my favorite SC.
Will not elaborate further. Click HERE for similar kinda of works I did before. For record, latest photos will be posted here later ... This afternoon gonna renew insurance/roadtax.
update: Insured the car for RM80k only. The premium was RM1400++, roadtax RM90.
Tyre and Brakepad Consumptions
Main contributions to tyre and brakepad consumptions are the same as what are actually effect fuel consumption - i.e who drive where, when and how....
I drive my 308 mainly for long distances covering at least 600km return trip. Sometimes up to 2000km covering highways, trunk roads as well as state roads. Normally I drive between midnite and before sunrise. Hence the consumptions are much less than the average.
After nearly 40,000km - front brakepad had gone 6.6mm and tyre tread reduced by almost 5mm.
Consumptions:
Bosch friction pads [front]: about 1mm for every 6000km
CSC3 treads: about 1mm for every 8000km

thanks uncle for the info about the insurance, can save some money for refuelling...
Next renewal, I'm going to insure the car for RM70k.... reduce by RM10k every year.
You can also save 10% of the premium if you renew your policy at online website such as Kurnia. Cheers.
