My FL is giving me more worries nowaday, it has clocked 8.4k milleage and the engine is giving very loud 'roar' sound every time I start to rev higher 3.5k above..I can even feel the accelerator pedal is vibrating more compare to previously is it due to the engine oil? can i change it b4 10k?

One more question, is there any good SC recommended? I mean real good in troubleshooting problem for my car. Currently there is visible sound from tyre there, like something wanna drop when i go through holes, steering also vibrate
I dont mind how far is the SC as long as my car problem can be reactify and fix.

THANKS a lot guys

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks for all the fast reply..let me explain in more detail about the 2 problem I face on my car.
For the vibrating issue, it only occur recently whereby when I rev my car up to 4k, the engine sound is not as fine as b4 and my pedal can feel the vibration even I m wearing sport shoes, below rpm 3k there is no such vibrating problem.

2nd problem is kind of hard to explain here, all I can say is the sound ONLY appear when low speed, 10km/h - 20km/h and the sound only appear on the right bottom part of the car..everytime when u go accross holes or those patched-up "longkang" on the road,there is sound like 2 metal bar hitting to each other and at the same time my steering wheel can feel the metal bar hitting below the tyre part and thus causing "jerking" or vibration. This phenomena is more obvious when my car steer to the right and at the same time go over holes or sharp object. I send to 3 SC in puchong for several time and everytime they tested my car they drive around 60-80km/h and say " Eh tak ada problem ah" =.= padahal I told them to slow down at the first place. At the end, all 3 SC give me the same answer, "Tat sound is from suspension/absorber there memang like tat "keras" one, cant do anything one, spray spray WD40 and give me the car key back"

NEed some pro sifu here plz and sorry for the long explanation =(

guys, can recommend me which SC besides puchong and SK better? I dont mind going far, heard that SC in Shah Alam quite good as their mechanic is more experience, is that true? May I know what is the SC name?

Really really appreciate if any owner here can give me some suggestion.

Many thanks

thanks ericmaxman for that , I will try to make appointment with them n send my car on Wednesday.
Hopefully the problem can be rectified, finger crossed.

Long story, as I have posted here earlier :

but I feel abit waste to remove the old tint as it has the satefy tint purpose leh...unless if wanna install those exp tint like 2k above one then diff story lo ><

but usually if we add on another layer of tint, will the new tint peel off easily?

ic..do u know how is the quality of our Saga FL's tint? can it last long like 5 years? bcz I also plan to put extra layer tint but feel abit sayang if take out the original Safety tint.

yeah, thats why I feel abit waste if remove the original tint..if put another layer onto it , what do u guy think? I plan to install some normal tint, around 500 like that.

One more thing, just called Proton COE for booking..all full till 21st of May ==
Anybody has 2nd alternative Service center which is on par with COE?
Wanna send my car for checking.

Thanks a lot.

Since most of the comment indicate that the original tint from proton is not good, so can I just apply a normal cheap tint first? then if touchwood the first layer got bubble or peel off, at least I wont be so pain ..and then only I remove both tint and install one good tint set. Is it advisable to do like this? Bcz not to say I am stuborn la but I abit "unwilling" to peel off my new car original tint

Added on June 14, 2011, 12:47 pmthanks for this precious advise, I always thought the quality of tint in our car is lie on the quality of the tint....now I know is depend on the workmanship rather than the tint quality

Anyway Mr_alien, do u hv any idea which SC is best recommend for checking my car problem? since COE is fully booked until 21st of June 2011. Any where is fine for me bcz now my 1st priority is to get my car problem fix.

Many thanks

guys, thanks for the comments...
So I think I will get a good tint and apply it onto the original tint....I dont think I will be that "sui" to be blocked by JPJ ba >< finger crossed =p

double tint is illegal, seriously? shit that mean if I wanna put a tint which come with safety tint and heat rejection and with a good quality, it will surely cost more than 1k

Thanks for that piece of information Mr_alien

wah so fast? mine also safeTint but not even half year so cannot tell whether mine will have the same fate like yrs or not ><

ericmaxman, did u put another layer of tint? or just use the original one?

it is advisable to service yr car with Proton SC, that few extra buck is worth to spend. Touchwood u wanna claim any part for warranty,it is FOC.
Btw my first service was around RM129 like that..I think they include the price of that "absorb-device" in yr bill that is why it costRm190. If I am not mistaken all new proton car will be using Semi syn from SC during the first 3 services by default.

when I bought my car, the salesman told me it is a ashtray but it can be used as multipurpose, coin, etc. i use it to put my petrol receipt so that every month I can track how much I put hehe

Added on June 16, 2011, 12:26 amThis petrol with water issue has been around for a loooooong time liao leh..I bet u r "lucky" Mr_alien to be able to witness those ppl to pour water into the thank, at the mean time r those ppl dump to pour water into the tank in the public ? They don't scare ppl complain ah ? LOL

I am experienced this same issue once, maybe u guys hear b4..it happened way back ~10 years ago at Sri Manjung, Perak , anyone know this place? There is one Petronas station there,I think they refill too much of water and at the end 5 user's (I think if not mistaken) car which ONLY pump their petrol log a complain when their car acting weird after pumping the petrol for quite sometime and end up engine totally 'kong'. 5 of the car was checked and verified that it was due to the petrol which contain high level of foreign substance aka water. The owner of the petrol station was sued and paid the owners compensation. The petrol station was then closed down for awhile but not quite long later, it resume operation Until today they are still ppl putting petrol from that station despite this incident.

Just wanna share with u guys =)

Got my car to the Puchong SC, one problem solved (well not 100% bcz I still can hear some tok tok sound but not as bad as b4) which make me worry free now hehe. The mechanic told me it was the Fender which causing the problem, thus knocking the tyre and causes some 'knocking sound'. However the pedal vibration is still there, so 50% of the total problem still there but I am glad that this SC can rectify the knocking problem where the others SC I went couldn't. I will go back to this SC for sure =) and their service is good 9/10 ( one lady come to me and ask me if I am thirsty, she then makes some milo and give it to me personally, first time I see such service) 2 thumbs up.

Not to forget u guys here in this forum, thanks for the help and heads up, u guys rockzz!!!

what is 'stroke' ? can enlight me? I dont plan to change my car though just wanna know what is it. I thought 1.6L engine is totally diff with 1.3L engine, no?

went for 10K servicing last Saturday, I told the SC to use lighter oil and they recommend me 10w-30 which cost RM102 compare with 10w-40 RM97, total bill is RM185...is this cheap?

After servicing, I feel my car lighter and pickup time is significantly noticeable =)

emmm cant remember exactly, I think change spark plug, washer ? coolant 2 bottle , oil filter and 1 or 2 more item which i forgot jor..need to check back the receipt.

Added on June 27, 2011, 12:39 pmharh u mean the price for 10w-40 is suppose to be cheaper than 10w-40 ?? Why the SC fella told me it is more exp geh..it is bcz they use more than 1 bottle of the oil? bcz I saw them pouring 1 big bottle of 10w-30 and another half small bottle of 10w-30 in my car.

hmmmm...I thought Petronas 10w-30 is better than 10w-40 thus the price is more exp. Now I am confused, meaning to say the higher number (e.g 40 > 30) of the engine oil mean more exp ?

This post has been edited by jerrymouse: Jun 27 2011, 12:39 PM

hmm..does tat mean I am using a lower grade oil instead of the better 10w-40? haizz..i thought of using Eneos semi-syn oil which I heard is quite good and I tested in in my old iswara and it was proven to be better in terms of engine sound pickup but according to my SC, he say I can bring my own oil but if anything happen to the engine, they cant claim warranty for it..so I decided to stick with their Petronas oil. =(
