proton's version of auto-arm? that's easy. lock the car. then unlock and leave it. don't do anything. if it works, after 30secs or so, the car should lock itself.

tdc known problem : -
1 ) hard to start (need few crank to engine start)..
2 ) jerk on low gear..

for 1 problem, solder is a way to solve the prob.. or change to new type connector (rm300++ in proton sc)..

for 2 problem, need to clean the tdc.. the tdc will get dirt from the dusty flywheel.. so no permanent solution yet.. just service it every 6 month at workshop that can handle renault engine..

*just my 2 cent..

Already on R3 exhaust.. superb performance compare to standard..

my manual savvy has modified its tdc sensor for almost 2 years now. since then, no more 2nd gear jerking or hard to start prob. never clean also since modification.

recently changed tyres to Kumho KH17 @ RM165/piece. ori size at 165/60R14. much better than NCT 5, quieter, softer side wall n better grip!

Hi guys,

I am trying to clean the body throttle myself (first time). I read about some body throttle cleaner, do you guys know where i can get these? Any recommended brand?
I managed to open the air filter portion and clean the outer part of the throttle, but I read that I am supposed to be able to open the blade and clean the interior of the blade? Is that only possible when we step on the fuel pedal? How to do that if i am only 1 person.
And regarding the spray, is it just press and spray into the body throttle and that's it?

Thanks and appreciate for any advice.

woah. so cheap ah? i have no experience with Kumho, and never heard any review before. should've asked a little bit more. hehe

Bro R3 exhaust how much you get it done? Also does it pair with an open pod?

mine does not auto lock.  i went outside car (engine off and no key inserted), make sure all doors closed, waited for 5 minutes, it did not lock.  does this mean its faulty?

No. The auto arm only works when after you unlock via remote and didn't open any of the doors, 30 seconds it will automatically re-arm.

If you open a door after dis-arming, or you switch off engine and got out of the car, it will not re-arm automatically.

That means, to test, do the following:

arm the alarm via remote.
now disarm the alarm via remote.
Wait 30 secs, it will re-arm.

wow, thanks for the reply.  i will try this.  i am really sorry to be so dumb on this, as i am an old skool all manual car before (no power lock) and this is my 1st time.

Anyone having problem using JEC ignition coil. Only changed a couple of months already problem with the ignition coil. went to Mr Hoe and got myself the renault one.. total damage RM520.. jialat...

btw... My spark plug rust habis.. don't know what's wrong. so change the champion spark plug as well.

Last time i changed mine to 3rd party ignition coil cost me around rm200++. That one has removeable cables. Still ok until today. I don't know what brand.

how you get it fixed and how much?
QUESTION : Any procedure with pics or video how to clean the throttle body sensor, or tdc sensor that is?  just wanna get ideas.

I'd suggest go for Manual if you don't want a hassle maintaining an AMT. I myself driving AMT (2006 production) and I admit it has few problems. I don't say it as a problematic car because it's just a wear and tear issue. On the other hand, MT version is almost problem free besides the power steering switch and ignition coil which can be replaced for less than RM500. Ignition coil China brand can get as low as RM230 with installation while the power steering switch issue can be fixed for less than RM400. The engine is very robust. Mine clocked 140,000km already and no single problem with the engine. Mind you that my driving style is quite rough. I do 170kmh quite frequently especially during long hour drives (KL-JB-KL in a day twice a week). The best thing about Savvy is the handling. If Myvi handling 3/10, I'd give Savvy 9.5/10. Try to climb Cameron Highland and you'll know what kind of fun you'll get with Savvy

Added on January 19, 2012, 3:29 pmAnother thing I want to add is most of Savvy owners know how to fix their cars just by DIY. So you don't have to rely on any mechanics. Even Renault specialist also don't have so much knowledge on how to fix Savvy.

RM2xx JEC kot... blue color?

anyone used Bosch spark plugs? how's it compare to d stock champion ones? mine still stock from factory but mileage 2 change plugs is due soon.
