hahaha......i think he is a dare devil,btw bro what engine oil do u use 2day i change mine to eneos 10w-40 from the

Shell Helix 10W-40.

Feels smoother. But there's still that sounds. Tak tak tak....

yup if it tree or lamp post the impact more severe,today when to my sc saw a saga passenger side crash quite deep and front part reach engine.the body also bent already.


tak tak tak sound dunno tapet sound or the iafm problem,if appeared after using the shell oil than should be tapet if not iafm
as far as i know.next service may be u can give eneos a try. biggrin.gif

The crash must be quite bad >< considering that the Saga's chassis is quite tough to begin with rclxub.gif

Good idea bro biggrin.gif some ppl say the tappet sound is normal blink.gif
*
yup i think crash must be bad,i think hit a tree cause can see the leftover light brown tree bark material.

oh didn't know tappet sound normal,cause have only experience it with my old car cause engine prob,may be lah the pros
know well,i'm an amature gathering info frm this thread biggrin.gif

ok i will go there when i hit 10k  rclxms.gif 

btw how much did they charge for the service if we bring our own oil?

MR_alien, where is the legendary shop for alignment tuning? bcz my car swift to left by itself when i drive on a straight road in MEX highway  sad.gif  can this problem be fixed by aligning ?

oppsite ioi mall is the showroom this is behind the showroom,from showroom go straight out take right than b4 traffic light take left go straight untill u see a restoran on your right take a right turn than u will see lanes on ur right hand side turn right on the 2nd lane....biggrin.gif

Pravred , thank u for buy the eneos 10w40 proracing oil from me.
Your car should be lighter with it + without tappet sound. Hehehehe


Added on May 18, 2011, 4:55 pmAnyway if u interested to buy the blm cabin filter just halo2 me yaa.
Rm20 only (the cheapest at lyn)

Most of the SC can bring ur own oil except cannot bring ur own oil filter. Keramat, damansara, pj, puchong are normal place where my customer bring their own oil

whats the difference with this cabin filter bro....?? biggrin.gif

so far i went to Yes Car care at puchong but they dont allow..i will try SC that "Pravred" mentioned, anyway what is the diff with 10w40 and 10w30 oil from eneos ya?
*
i only know got 10w-40 and 5w-30 both semi-syn,the 5w-30 is lighter compared to 10w-40 but if u have used syntium 800 which is 15w-50 for long than the most suitable is 10w-40 cause the 5w-30 is too light and may cause tappet sound.Both are thinner oil compared to petronas syntium.This is the info i collected along this thread,hope i'm not wrong biggrin.gif

thinner oil gives good acceleration and fc....

ic ic ..so yr recommendation is 5w30 is it? once use that then need to maintain it forever ? or need to downgrade to thicker oil when the car is older?
*
i think once more than 5 years need to downgrade to thicker oil.......actually i wanted to use 5w-30 but bro gagak advice me not to since i already use 15w-50 from start he said if u want to use 5w-30 need to start using after 1k service but i think if haven't really stressed your engine too much after 5k still can change to lighter engine oil.

now i'm using 10w-40....no prob,may be u can give 5w-30 a try.
i don't dare to use the lighter fuel cause i have stressed the engine alot.

ic ic..is 5w-30 consider as fully-syn oil? how much u bought 10w-40 and from where ya?
if advisable to use 10w-40 then i will use it as long as it wont hurt the engine >< if not i would love to try lighter oil bcz can get better accelerate and fc  brows.gif
*
5w-30 still semi-syn,but from what i see many blm users say 5w-30 is too thin for blm and engine capacity is low as well,so i think it's a wise choice to stick with 10w-40,even with this grade i can feel the difference already the only thing now is i'm testing on suitable petrol,my car seems more powerful better pickup with petronas xtra,yesterday tried bhp car feels slightly less powered.

the voltage stabilizer actually does improve acceleration i noticed when i installed,it actually makes the engine

lighter(may be good combustion since all the electrical system is stable and the ecu gets and sends accurate signal) so

at low rev you can feel slightly more power.Btw it also depends what which Voltage stabilizer you use,the Rm90-100

pivot etc i doubt gives much changes,i installed the one from ericteoh.more expensive but can really feel the difference.

Hmm, i thought that the Campro's ECU is self learning? No such reset ECU stuff

hmm.gif

no doubt it is self learning still the data that is learned can be reseted,i did it at proton sc.....it is a faster way to program the ecu,self learning takes more time biggrin.gif

I soooooooooo want that CVT. laugh.gif

It would go a long way in improving the FC on our BLMs and FLs.
There is absolutely no point in installing LED into your gear when you can just look at the gear indicator at your meter cluster panel. It's easier, more natural and safer.

The voltage stabilizer will not improve performance at all. Especially not on a new car with new wiring. It's only good for protecting your electronics from voltage fluctuations, thus prolonging electronics life.

More likely what happened was that while installing the voltage stabilizer, he unplugged the battery for a very long time and wound up resetting the ECU. With a reset ECU, if you rev hard, you can train it to perform differently. Either that or your mechanic is telling you bollocks.


Added on May 20, 2011, 2:49 pmomara86, they're 2 different cars.

bro blm has new wirings but the wirings are not sufficient enough to provide a good grounding(has been tested),since we pay less so the items used are also low in quality,yup you are right it protects electronics life as well as enhance the performance of it since proper stable voltage is being sent to the items.

Yup when VS is installed there might be a chance of ecu reset but later on after self learning you can still see alot of changes from the VS.Most important car components are electronically/electrically related power steering,hu,light etc,so it does give a better result.

That's what gets me annoyed. Proton offering us lower spec cars compared to other markets.

Hmm, hopefully the Saga CVT changes that.

proton give them higher spec when other countries sell their car here they sell lower spec.....either way we always end up getting low spec sad.gif
