Yay kindly add my name to the club!
Vor Saga FLX 1.3 AT Solid White

Received & have being driving my new FLX 1.3 for 2 days now. Very smooth I must say, no loss of power at all when climbing slopes etc. My only 2 concerns so far would be the:

1- Same jerking issue every FLX owner has been complaining about but only happens during very bad traffic jams. Guess would have to wait for my 1st service for them to fix the new part (coolant or sumtin?) for it to be solve.

2- Sometimes when shifting gear to N but meter says its on R, any solution to this? Doesn't happen often but quite dangerous...

All in all, I am very satisfied with the car for the price I paid. Nothing much to complain but yeah

made in malaysia boot lo,from new hong fatt....

hmm.. if really like tat then i kena chop $$$ liao.. btw the coolant they charge me RM29 per bottle eh..

what coolant u use so expensive oh?
the one i used in workshop..brand is nasa...if not wrong RM10+ only
proton's one not also around the same price meh?

not sure wat brand they gave me.. but according to the proton service index for the coolant really cost abt RM28 and will only change on every 20k wor.. i think they mark up quite high for the items..

Wohhooo....

Done my 2nd service for my Saga FL ....but this time, price very high this time ...RM323.40.... at 1st, just only RM 168 for servicing...then, got this 1 'macha' asked me to recheck alignment since he said need to check every 5,000km ...check², he said 'toe' not balance and front tyre got 'makan' a bit outside...so,they change tyre from rear to front ...after done everything, and see the price like that, what more can I say? Ahaa ..but after that,really satisfied coz my steering respond well ...cornering even more confident ...don't know laa if price like that ( at authorized Proton service center CarWorld jalan klang lama) is expensive ..

wow screw chamber rm60 for 2 pcs..
the labour for change chamber also charge
i tot at normal tyre workshop they charge only alignment +- rm20 only...

Alignment I do outside RM10 per wheel, on-wheel balancing also RM10 per wheel. What's the tyre patching for? Alignment and balancing normally do every 10k km unless you really abuse your ride.

I'm also suspicious about the engine flush thing, though I'm not sure because it has been so long since I do regular maintenance at Proton SC.

tyre patching? forgot what it does... . He did asked me "ada langgar lubang kaa macha?" ,so i assumed i did really abused my car ...all right, got that 10k km....thanks for the info dares

engine flush thingy is like, draining all oil out from the engine (based on what that SA told me )...haiya, susah laa ini macam...do servicing at Proton SC also mahal..... especially on alignment and balancing purpose....

My Nissan coolant RM20

Real or fake?

my one is blm
where gt abd ebd

6k service and cost rm300+

you're being conned

Absolutely...2nd service only change oil filter and engine oil + drain nut...FOC labour...more than that is those add on 'suggested/conned' by SC...dun go back there next time, unless u know what to change or you are rich...

1. I dont think your batch is affected with the clutch pump issue. There are two ways to eliminate the jerk during traffic jam;

a) the fuel saving method- slot into D and let the car gradually roll itself and use N to stop the car

b) the fuel wasting method- slot into D, let the car roll a bit and step a bit on the throttle (1,500rpm) then use the brakes to stop.

2. I think most probably the car is still new and the gear lever is quite tight. If it still happens after a month of ownership, I think you are facing with "sticky" gear issue like one of the members faced here.

macam another kes kena kapak oni

My second service only RM 15.55

Even my alignment issue was done FOC when I sent in my car on the first service.

I'm not an expert or anything, but here's some advice if you're interested. I took a look at the receipt and honestly, a lot of those things are optional.

You don't have to engine flush.
You don't need to buy the screw camber to align your wheels. Your car already has them.
Performing alignment at 5k is unnecessary unless you notice alignment problems yourself.
The amount they charged you for alignment labor as well as the camber is absurd.

I have serviced at Proton SC everytime since I bought my BLM until now. Servicing at Proton SC should never be so expensive unless it is a major service.

On a lighter note, at least the guy apparently did a good job, since you did report your car is feeling much better and have no complaints about your ride after that. So it wasn't all rubbish.

I've attached a service schedule with estimated costs. Please bear in mind though, prices have gone up slightly, since this schedule is a bit old.

Feel free to take a look at use it for reference.

whyTF did they do engine flush?
can't just simply do engine flush...bad....somemore you're just 2nd service
screw chamber price...tyre patching all u been conned...your tyre didn't pancit ma...why need tyre patching
i think he just simply add into the list while he didn't do any of those at all
and no no need every 5k la.....do it every year
