waaaah....V15 already?? so fast wooor....congrats... thumbup.gif icon_rolleyes.gif icon_idea.gif

eh, add me up Saga FL/Auto./black tranquility/Basic Model

still waiting for Monday coming for my power steering leaking ( as omara86 suspected)....had called Proton Edar 3s Damansara SC and decided to go to PJ ss13 for repair since the SC near to my house and also they have spare parts with them...Wanted to go to Old Klang ROad (CAR WORLD AUTO SDN BHD) but they charge labout cost if i bring the spare part to them....Thinking back,not even 2 months i bought SAGA FL, already have this leaking problem ....haaaizzz.... shocking.gif anyway,maybe not my luck perhaps got this car... doh.gif but,hopefully after repair or change the part,should be ok after this....hahahhahahaha....

Juz <2 mths and gotta bring own spare parts & pay 4labour? Am I reading yr post correctly?  cry.gif

since that SC dont have the part,so thinking that want to go to Glenmarie parts center and bring to them...but,it like 2 kali kilija ah....hahhaa....labour cost; proton edar quoted that if i go to the authorized dealer,they will charge on certain amount if i undergo for a repair....but instead,if i go to Proton Edar itself,they (proton edar ) won't charge anything except for car services (if car still under waranty...)

Feel present BLM/FL owners gotta continue 2b happy with their rides cos choice made was the BEST at that time! Choice was CORRECT!! thumbup.gif

However for those who hv plenty $$$$ to throw can alwaz UPgrade to FLX, rite?

From my earlier post, there hv been no stats of BLM/FL owners swapping their rides for newer FLX! True?

So...?? Same conclusion...count our blessings!
There'll alwaz be newer & better cars! We kenot b changing them like some ppl change mobile phones... Agreed? icon_rolleyes.gif
*
ya ya ya....i agree... icon_rolleyes.gif thumbup.gif praise for what we can afford ....basic of life....but, correct me if i'm wrong but looks like that CVT lack of response....see the full acceleration 100kmh and rpm goes more than 5k....

The center got one round round thing which looks like a water tumbler. That's actually can be used as ashtray also.

tapi, tak eloklah keep puntung rokok in the car. make car smells.  rclxub.gif
that paultan is in a test vehicle, of coz will mash that throttle since it is not his car and petrol. I've managed to bring the car up to 120km/h till date and the rpm never goes beyond 3000rpm.

a lot people thinks that high rpm is co-related with high speed due to the nature of conventional auto/manual transmission cars, but that's not the case for CVT.
*
so,that CVT can runs on high speed with low RPM? sounds like economical FC and less engine burden perhaps?

hey all...

planning want to install :

1. a fog lamp since my standard FL doesn't come with it...search at mudah.my http://www.mudah.my/Saga+fl+fog+lamp-11049172.htm ..Not sure how much it is the Proton's original fog lamp.. Surely that (accessories shop item ) won't have a good quality right? blink.gif

2. a turbo timer to keep my engine idle once i stop from a long distance travel...i have read previous thread about this turbo timer ..got a friend sell (new) turbo timer cost around RM68..He said it's not a really ORI (brand APEX like a small long pencil style). So, any advice about it? icon_question.gif

3. Proton's R3 light weight sport rims. Never had info about those rims...Any info on pro's and con's? heard that rims cost around RM2k++... looks pretty cool since it looks like a Nissan R35 sport rims... tongue.gif

Don't u guys think that Saga FL's suspension (with Lotus Ride Handling) pretty good at cornering? Even a Myvi tackle corners macam mau terbalik rclxms.gif ohmy.gif but still those Myvian dared to take a corner with speedy shocking.gif ....So,i think no need to change unless if want to lower it down or just change spring or something ..!?

During raining time ( especially heavy rains) i noticed my rear mirror having a poor visibility. Normal kaa tu? thought i want to install a rear wiper ....keh keh keh tongue.gif biggrin.gif

any info on Saga BLM or FL or FLX automatic flip side mirror like a 1.5 honda city has?

1. get ori.
2. turbo timer is stupid, waste of petrol and time. just practice engine slow down after long ride.
3. r3 rims are lighted weight? i tot they mentioned sport rims, not lighted weight rims.

bro, suspension is suspension; handling is handling.lain wei.lotus handling about the steering nia if im not wrong. the suspension still with APM what. rear window just use RainX la. flip mirrors i duno.
*
1. ok...take note that...
2. keh keh keh..
3. opppss....it called Performance wheel...sorry smile.gif
4. thought that Lotus handling ada kena mengena dengan suspension ...so,a good suspension MAYBE resulting a good handling..? if u say so, maybe true laa ; suspension is suspension,handling is handling...RainX? where can i get that Rainx?

1. better get the original part from proton
2. i agree with SiuYi, waste of petrol  nod.gif
3. u can refer to this website, http://www.proton.com/Motorsports/R3-Accessories.aspx#Saga icon_idea.gif

about the suspension, i can feel that more stiffer than persona's, but persona able to get better cornering for me...
i was thinking to lower down the suspension to reduce air force under the car flex.gif

my flx also facing this problem, during rain, difficult to see rear window, maybe due to the aero dynamic design...  hmm.gif

and about the flip side mirror, i was looking forward to install that too, but couldn't find any yet...  laugh.gif
*
1. how much it will cost for the Fog lamp from Proton? hmm.gif
2.hurm...maybe so,cause here in this forum very particular with FC...but,hey it's a good advise ... thumbup.gif
3. yeap....went through the web....understood...

yea,thought want to do the same thing also yo lower down the suspension...

i see....maybe need to install that RainX then...

yea,keep tracking that automatic flip side mirror....huhuuh....

i dn't think is a waste of petrol for the turbo timer
it's just waste of money
when you're abt to off the engine..make sure your radiator is not ON
if not when u wanna start it....u'll need to crank exactly 3 times be4 the engine is on
and that waste petrol as well

that's happened to me... huuu...

wanna share regarding my problem with Proton's SC...

due to having problem with power steering ( start the engine, and turn the steering left or right side,came out a noise from the engine..and my car not even 2 months old doh.gif ),the 1st thing i done is send it to 1 of authorized SC dealer at Old Klang Road.Since this is my 1st car and my very 1st defect, i just simply send there with out knowing there is different between AUTHORIZED dealer and Proton Edar SC..Told problem to the SA,went for check and they said something wrong with power steering system and oil is leaking ( which they cannot detect and they don't have spare part for it...) .So,for temporary, they just top up power steering oil and they asked me to check ASAP at COE Kesas Hiway there...Went back home,called COE Shah Alam for booking,and biasa laa nobody wanted to pick up my call..Later tomorrow decided to go COE with out having a booked..and biasa la, nobody wanted to entertain last minute booking..Frustrated,i went straight to Proton EDAr ss13 there hoping there is somebody will help me out...Sampai sana, gave my service booklet,waited about 30 mins,then my name called..Cerita punya cerita about the defected car,SA said need to wait for queued ( that time was number 21 and mine number 35).Some more,if the problem detected,need to order part and kena tunggu for 1 week ...fuuuhhh....thinking back,why do i need to wait from 21 until reached my 35 que,but still need to wait for 1 week?? diorang tak simpan kaa stock parts??I decided head home and just top up oil ( korban RM29+).

After a week later (last week), I went to Damansara SC and managed to get booked...Sampai at 9AM,reporting in,gave my service booklet,and waited for 45mins..Called my name,then again cerita punya cerita about car's problem, and as usual SA (lenglui) told me they will check 1st but need to wait until 10.30am,baru mechanic bawak masuk kereta.Then i asked,why 10.30am? "oh,coz at 10am, we ( and i'm not sure whether all the SA or foreman) will having our morning TEA BREAK...~!!" WTF...and i waited for 30mins ...until 12.30pm,i saw my car not even move from parking lot...Waaaah,i really pissed off and asked lenglui..."u said u will take my car at 10.30am but not it's already 12.30pm...surely later u all will having afternoon LUNCH BREAK right??" She just quite and straight away asked foreman to take my car..after 30mins later,she called and said got problem with "hose assembly pressure" and they don't have stock for that part and again need to order, ETA 1 week doh.gif ....aiyah...how unlucky i felt that time...no choice but accepted it as i am tired going there and here...

So,this week (last Monday),i haven't receive any calls from them,so i called them instead wanted to ask if that part coming in or not...Bla bla bla bla, SA asked my invoice and spare number and will calling me back later on...couple of hour later they didn't gave any follow up..On Tuesday called them again,give this and that to SA,same replied to me and no feedback until yesterday ...My god,what happened laa to those people..? i just need an answer YES or NO...Lotsa excuses i got from them...Server down la, spare part department went to toilet la etc....and now,when i want to drive my car,always 'finger cross' hoping nothing happen while driving..Mana taw later coming another problem?? Common thing laa about Proton's quality but this is only car i can afford..

Normal kaa SC behave like that? Izzit because i only claimed for warranty, and treated people like that? "oh,u got free or claim warranty maa,slow2 laa .." aiyohh....~!
