hi guys..
i m helping my fren to ask bout saga fl exclu.
she say tht car come with Proton Tint with 5year warranty..
bt aft parking under sun for a whole morning, the car still very very hot.
so she might ask bout double up the Tint of Proton..
did any-one tried this?double up the Tint

BTW, if the Proton Tint had a big bubble suck by the GPS, can we claim warranty frm SC @ mana mana tempat saja?
or we need to sent back to KL and claim the warranty?
*
proton tint suckss la...dn't bother claim it
cheap tint with poor workmanship
go to a shop that install tint...select a good tint like 3M or more expensive tint
at least RM450
but most important also workmanship...if bad workmanshop...doesn't matter how good your tint is...sure got problem very soon
see who is installing it 1st...if those youngster that install the whole car within 30 min...better skip that shop

i got no problem with the lube used by sc currently no tappet sound etc,but i notice that during the 5k interval,when reached around 3800+ to 4000km my car feels super sluggish can see the car performance really go down and fc go up cause i tekan more to achieve acceleration needed.Is it normal,i can go for service early but rugi.

any solution to this...??
*
no solution
that is the infamous petronas oil
that is the oil signalling u it's near service
that is why i never use petronas oil anymore...switch to shell helix
after 7-8k...still silent and good

hmm what oil you guys recomend..because im using penzoil platinum 5w-30 all this while
*
try 10w-40
any brand would be ok...except petronas
it might be thicker than your 5w-30 but it's suit the car
and thicker oil protects the engine better

Hi guys, I'll be sending my car to do its first 1000km service and I have  a few questions to ask before doing it.

Details of my car: Model :FL
Transmission      : Auto

1: Which engine oil do you guys recommend? The 20-50w?
2: Type of engine oil :mineral, semi synthetic, full synthetic
3: What do they mean by "free service"? Do I need to pay anything?
4: Do you guys change the spark plug? To me, I feel that it's a waste to do that since its new.
4: What should I watch out for after they have service my car.

Thanks alot guys.  smile.gif
*
try 15w-40...after 3 service...switch to lighter oil like 10w-40
always use semi synthetic
free service mean the labour fee is free only
spark plug can wait until 20000KM only change
something they recommend u to add up like performance oil is not needed
window washer also not needed if u dn't want it

HID consume lesser watt compare to normal Halogen H4 55w/60 & HID only consume 35watt. Also the life span HID is about 2000 hours, but halogen only 400 hours.

Most user will said HID reduce battery lifespan but actually not, battery wear out faster because those aftermarket ballast cant control the watt nicely & we call it unstable watt out put.
*
HID illegal
HID not as good as halogen in fog and rain

QUOTE(omara86 @ May 11 2011, 03:47 PM)
more efficient burning... that's all... wont increase power... may help FC if the normal plug is not efficient enuf... btw i got offered for bosch titanium for RM86/set
*
ever since i change to denso iridium...i notice it requires high RPM to change gear
and the RPM isn't consistent all the time
but although revving higher.....sunday i revved until 4.5K just for a gear change
suprisinglly the FC is still the same as previous which is consistent 2.0-2.4K RPM gear change
not sure how much the bosch titanium can last...maybe 60K??
but if really want no to change...get iridium one...can last 100K
or u can try the bosch fusion...that day i saw at automotive garage...it looks cool...4 sided instead of 1 like normal SP

hmm... i havent use so i dunno how to comment... heheheh... btw titanium > iridium...

the bosch iridium fusion is selling RM130 in automative garage
so compare to the RM85...it's way more expensive
and also can last 100k KM
as far as i know...iridium is the most long lasting spark plug in the world for car

Anyone felt the prefacelift Saga actually looks cuter than the facelift? The front looks out of proportion for the facelift, i think the design should work better on bigger cars. The rear lights however makes the car looks smaller than it already is.
*
the prefacelift saga's headlamp is better
the design also better
but the prefacelift is kinda an unfinished car....cuz it's not very good with crosswind
the facelift one should perform better on highspeed...i mean much stable
but lack of the 1st gen headlamp...haizz
well..u can't get the best of everything

Dear all sifus ...

Just got my Saga FL Exec last 2 weeks...

Third day I drove the car, it started giving me all this problem d:
- Air cond sometime cold, sometime not cold...
- Passenger seat that side, when airflow fully roam within, it's produce air leaking sound... (not sure how to explain this)
- The handbreak must lift up very high about 4 level to secure the car fully break at 30' degree hill slope.
- The back sofa gt a big hole, i m guess not sewing properly ...

Last week, send my car for first service at about 1100km mileage: the technician told me this:
- Air cond transmitter circuit issue, need warranty to claim and replace the item.
- Telling me the sound for Proton car generally is 1:7 while other like toyota, honda is like 1:9, ended up sound still exist...
- Handbreak not really fix, still have to lift as high as level4 sometime go even higher.
- Sofa ... just realise this hole yesterday...

For my 1st service, it cost me about RM165.00 just changing the engine oil (5000mileage), n filter n so on and not major services also. And its much more expensive than my services for Nissan Grand Livina 1.6. My Nissan Grand Livina usually service everything gao dim just for RM135 only (Semi Pro 7000 mileage).

Overall, I m still satisfy with the car  icon_rolleyes.gif, at the very least, its FC didn't fail my expectation! ^^

Here's the issue:

- Any other parts or issue I'm need to alert on for new Saga FL? Like air cond - known issue.
- Handbreak, is this normal? Have to lift tat high?
- Air flow issue, can this be improve?
- Sofa? Do u think its cover under the warranty? Or what action do u think I should re-act?

And I'm notice there's no air flow control that blow towards our feet side or is there a button to trigger that?

Thanks!
*
aircond sometime cold sometime not is normal...at noon it's not really that cold compare to at night
and try to switch to circulate(right side on the 3rd dial)
air leaking sound..is it once a while it will be like blowing thing??...that's the compressor doing its job
the handbrake...no need to care so much..it is problematic itself....mine already fixed many times...still have the same problem....the only solution is for them to change to disc brake rather than drum brake

I also highlight the air cond issue, some time hot some time cold; and this is the part they will claim warranty for me - Thermister. I also phone up few branch, and they do advice me that this is a known issue, so far they had few Saga FL having this problem d. And the item will arrive at the Service Ctr bout around 1 week ... still waiting ... hopefully, it can solve my air cond issue ...  whistling.gif

FUUU...what is engine flush doing there??

my SC always ask me want or not 1st
and what is injector cleaner...all add on until so expensive
