Now my car get serious prob. After running idle for 10-15 min the temp got max bars. But no warning lite is shown. If try to drive slooowwly then got one. If fast enuf it won't show but stay in max bar indicator. Checked the radiator the water is empty. I fill it again and empty after couple km. No leak I can see from below. But when the indicator is max I could not feel excess heat around the engine.... strange

And the engine starts to shake wildly. Very hard to accelerate from full stop using 2nd gear. Feel very heavy. All trouble come very sudden. I dun know what happen

check if the radiator fan is spinning or not when the temp is up.
Note: do not put ur hand / finger anywhere near the radiator fan.

sound like need to top overhaul from my experience on my dad car.. worse case, all internal is bengkok because piston jem..

please bring to reliable mechanic to look after your car..


the temp problem might be motor fan, radiator blockage or simple as fuse for motor fan or the temp sensor..
radiator empty is a sign to kill off the engine before further damage which i think too late for your case..

*just my 2 cent comment.. do update on your car condition.. major repair or just simple one done.. ok..

Could be fried gasket, water leaked into engine oil. Tomolo morning take out your dipstick check and see what color is the engine oil. If white color....



Seriously, it's fucked up

estimate repair cost?

if major overhaul = same as new engine..

if top overhaul = ~ rm2-3k.. depend on what to be replace..

*this is depend on the damage condition..

i dun know what to say ... i put it at renautech ald. Hope to hear good news soon


--edit---
so far they said, prob on thermostat housing / radiator housing (what i heard from phone CMIIW), and ignition coil....

owh.. stuttering is cause by coil.. good.. different prob then the overheat..

what i read up and translate is the overheat make the car slow and heavy pickup..

so coil + thermostat = ~ rm500-600 depend on what type of coil.. the ori renault or aftermarket.. aftermarket cause you rm190 + / -..

termostat housing is less 100.. changed mine before at proton..

haha... should be the car slow and heavy pickup + overheat problem
but till now i hvnt received any news of my car. Unable to contact renautech, no one picks up my call

Just glad that it's not your gasket bocor Over heating is the culprit that melt your coil Not a news for Shawie ady

Hi Savvy owners.. how many of you have power steering leak?

How much usually the repair... easy to replace DIY? cos the power steering switch was quote Rm155 by auto part shop..

THanks

You DIY first..just wrap with the white tap..if the leaking is not serious, DIY should be ok and last longer..if serious leaking, then buy new one la..

still monitoring the leak.. already top up the fluid..

Renautech charged me for 210
the coil is 360ish if im not mistaken
