Finally the common problem started to plague my BLM after a year of usage.

The rat noise from the alternator bearing during cold start. Started to happen since this Monday, after i went back hometown from JB-Ipoh-JB total 1100km journey on Saturday-Sunday. Before this i'm sure didn't have these noise.

Actually i'm not worry since the noise will dissappear after 2 minutes. just I feel Campro in terms of durability is not so satisfying, because everytime i will found new problem after such long run.

1st my IAFM started to give noise during cold start right after the same journey on last June, now the bearing/bell. I didn't speeding at highway one, 99% maintain at 3.4k rpm @ 105km/h. I still suspect the short gear ratio has lead to unnecessary heavy work for the engine during long distance cruising will finally bring disaster to the engine in one day.

But luckily the FC are still same as new car, at that speed managed to get 16km/L @ 6.1L/100km.

I really think Saga is not suitable for long distance journey, how you guys think?

Anyway, tmr or Sunday probably i will go to sound proof my car, flooring 1st, quoted RM1.3k.
