LOL, when I see Sagas and Maivees speeding on the highway at speeds of >160, I normally pull aside to let them pass. If they r in a hurry to be reincarnated, I shouldn't block them. 

best2... expecting more variant to increase 1.5k each..   
extreme pnye

The biggest problem with the fuel indicator is that 1 bar can hold around +-50 liters (auto). It's worse for the manual (1 bar can hold even more). There's no way to know if you are at the beginning or the end of the bar so you can have a variance of +-100km in your fc calculation because of that. This doesn't happen for analogue meters cause you can see where you are in that particular bar.

As always, the best way to calculate is still to use the proper method, which is to pump full tank,reset meter, run around, refill full tank again and then compare.

Actually at that speed, I don't care what car you're driving. It's going to be a life and death scenario.
Precisely. I'd rather get a full spec persona at that kind of price.

Morning to all blmers,

Just get some info from my colleague this morning at work, I was informed that my colleague friend's FLX has a major defect which categorized as the 1st case reported to Proton.

Well the story goes like this...(plz be informed that I am here to share this true story and I am not any FAN boy from any other club who tries to create anonymous fact less story). This FLX owner got this car and from the first day he drives 80-90km/h Max b4 his 1k service. Right after 1st service, he plan to drive faster back to hometown which is in JB (mileage was clocked at 12++km at that moment). When he started to pickup and the car hit 110km/h  on highway, something from the engine bay break off (acc to the driver, something like belt terputus) and the whole car  stall and cannot start at all...imagine he is driving 110km/h at that moment =.= well cut the story short, car was sent back to SC via tow truck.

after 1 week plus, his car was sent from normal SC to COE and the analysis result is out finally. his FLX CVT GB was replaced completely, the reason behind was the CVT Belt terputus!! No further explanation by the technician and the owner doesn't bother to ask anymore. What I feel is this is purely his bad luck and I am very sure this kind of issue happens in any car company ><

Well, one question from me to any sifu/expert here, does CVT GB's belt so fragile? or may I say easily to be broken apart? Any similar case found in other car so far or this is by far first case?

For me, I know my own car's limit then its sufficient. Dont want to try to be god or else ended up being with god.
THe FLX spare isn't a full size. Its a space saver Continental CC2.
Lemon law. Not all cars manufactured are perfect. My FLX has alignment issues too. I have to steer a bit to the left in order to go straight.

My CVT so far so good, been up and down Genting in SAT mode and 110km/h on highways numerous times. SO far sill strong.

Actually I would do the same. Write to papers etc. Unless they upgrade my Saga to Inspila for free as compensation. 

the battery +ve terminal point is loosen at 1st because those car is delivered to store and put there for many days before deliver to customer... (told by my salesman)

on the day i got my car, the salesman, open the engine bonnet and tighten up for me before pass the car to me... very responsible salesman.

Proton should take immediate action to find out the solution, and announce to all FLX's user to send their car to replace the faulty or defect part...

* anyhow, the person who report this too much because used the wrong sentence, 'bertakung air' seem like the whole car flooded but just only the carpet area... 

So this is how Proton treat their loyal customer?

This is not something that you could wait.

Yes, I was thinking same thing. My mum's 19-yr old Iswara has that feature and my 2011 FLX no have. Also my Mitsubishi Colt last time (before Satria came out) also has "controllable" intermittent wiper speed. Meaning u can adjust the speed at the slowest setting. For FLX I find that  the slowest speed and medium speed, either too slow or too fast, no in-between.
Be careful about RainX. Don't apply to front windscreen as it will spoil yr wiper blades. For side and rear its okay.

Unheard brand

Toyo Oil ??

Sorry to burst your bubble la, but the PBTE is pure bullcrap.

So tell me, by plugging something into your cigarette lighter, can make the car more powerful, yet at the same time, save fuel? I always thought that power is inversely proportional with fuel consumption.

There are better ways to get more power out of your engine, but clearly enough, this isn't one of those ways. Dont forget, what the teachers taught you in Science class about combustion. Same theory.

For RM300, I have better stuff to buy that just that stupid placebo effect maker. LCP, air filter all those come to mind.

In my earlier post, I recommended Amway's LOC as the best car shampoo.
Now, can someone recommend a good car wax brand? One that does not do damage to the paintwork but leave a protective gloss finish?

Has anyone used this 5-star shine product before?

Where is the debate on 5-star shine? On this forum? I was thinking of Turtle Wax initially. Just wondering if anything better out there. If no have, then I stick to Turtle.

maybe can be solved by using bigger cvt cooler? hopefully.

Yes, that's why I chose an FL Executive Manual 1.3. Afraid FLX CVT got problems, no matter what whomever claims how good CVT, I still don't trust its reliability.

i sign the form b4 do the checking..everything looks ok during the checking..3 of us did that...didn't kno how to check the chasis no..check all the lamps,buttons,engine,head unit...everything still under warranty right?so i didn't have to pay for the repair rite?

sad case..saga fl 1.6 AT..engine is using persona one but gearbox and gear ratio is using 1.3 AT...which same rpm same speed as 1.3 auto..walao eh

Saga BLM... erm... its what one ? mine now shell helix HX5 15W40... feel dam heavy... so whats the recommended one ? of course for the one provided by SC... budget not very high also la... less than RM120 like that... nowadays economic dam hardcore... less alot of income...

WAT A DAY!!! Yesterday scared about 20k service and not able to go Kelantan....right after dinner ppl break into my car @#^%!@&%$@ damnn

holycrap Taman Putra. So near my place.

Thats why I always keep my bag in the trunk.
