My car starting to have the noisy "lorry" sound. I guess my IAFM starting to faulty. How long will it take to replace the IAFM? I heard its a very long process of replacing it because its connected to engine bay and some valves. Was it normal for it to be faulty around 1 year plus of usage? Faulty IAFM is like the most common problem happened in a Saga. 

siuyi,

msy i ask u.. how to determine the saga blm iafm is defect??

there is a lot of similar tak tak sound which is normal...but there is one tak tak sound...more like plastic sound with somekind of a tone...

Got my car around March 2009. 1 and 1/2 years lo.

I hope the newer batch of IAFM could last longer compared to the older batch. Even inside the cabin can hear the tak tak sound. Very annoying. Will go make an appointment with my SC one day. =(

can be heard from inside cabin.. confirm iafm...

Very surprise that my car IAFM can 'self recover'  On June i drove back JB-Ipoh, total 1100KM. The morning after i started my car can heard the 'tak tak' IAFM noise, i thought it might kong adi, but only make noise during cold start, after few KM, no more this kind of sound. Recently even cold start also won't have adi, kinda magic...

Many members in this forum complaining about tak tak tak sound that is related to IAFM faulty. Never thought my car will get this problem. I am wrong. Because I thought my IAFM was the newer batch. How to differentiate an old one and the newer batch? My IAFM sticker was yellow coloured.

Wow...I wished that my IAFM could self-recover by itself.

hi guys. i drive a saga blm m-line late 2008 and the mileage is around 32000km.

my clutch started acting up 2 days ago. when i depress the clutch, i felt a quite strong vibration on the pedal. gear change however is more or less the same and there is no noticeable loss of power.

went to the proton edar SC and after a brief inspection (the SC personnel drove the car a bit). the SC guy told me that the clutch is showing early signs of failure. in order to avert further problems down the road i was advised to change the whole clutch (housing, bearing, plate). the total cost quoted is close to RM900.

i wonder if i can claim warranty on the clutch? i know that under the warranty agreement, the clutch is a wear and tear part and is not covered but come on, clutch failure this early? the clutch has gotta be defective in the first place for it to wear out at such early mileage!    i do regular maintenance (periodic services at the recommended intervals all done at the same SC). i'm no speed demon (apart from the occasional 120-130km/h balik kampung drives), i don't do high revs unnecessarily and i always depress the clutch fully before changing gears, no abrupt release (fast, race-style gear change is a no-no).

so what say you sifus?

If i'm not mistaken, 1 year for mechanical parts such as window motor, starter, etc, 3 years for electrical and wiring, and 5 years only for engine and gearbox

Anybody changed their tyres already? Mine thread left 20-30% only after serving for 60k km. Thinking of changing to Falken ZE-912 or Yoko A drive any suggestion which tyre better?

Did you guys change the camber screw to those adjustable one and adjusted the camber? Noticed that my front tyre actually "makan one side (inner side)" only. The tyre shop ppl told me that every blm has this problem and the only solution is to use an adjustable camber screw to adjust the camber.

the gear panel (on the gearbox that have P,R,N,D) doesn't have light kah?

I don think its particular for BLM. those tyre people will say any car problematic so that u change the chamber screw. Its a whooping 50-60 ringgit for a 10 ringgit screw. easy money...
