Well, if it is so, mind to tell what to be careful with if i going to see second hand Savvy?
Since all the owner is gathering here in this thread, you all should know what to check and know the common problem of this car, what thing to avoid and so on...
How to test the car bla bla... This is my 1st time buying a car.
*
ahhh i see. In this case i would recommend you to get the cheapest you can get then allocate around 2k to change all the tear and wear part like all other car would need.

1st off all head on to RS Auto or Renautech.
If car > 3 years and running more than 70k km
Timing Kit whole set RM600
Engine Oil RM125
Spark Plug - Champion RM80
Renault Gear Box oil RM45 x 4
Air Filter - Drop in RM150, CAP Ayam RM20
Modify TDC Sensor RM30
Throttle Body Cleaning RM15
A new set of brake pad normal ones RM150 depan belakang. Better one RM2xx depan belakang.
Tire of course! RM600 - RM700 whole set

What you need to do before purchasing.

Test drive! make sure when low RPM no jerking. Sign of ignition coil problem
No whinning sound at >60km/h back tire bearing need to change. RM85 1 side...

anyone know roughly how much is the cost for timing belt change and anyone can recommend good workshop around klang valley. I don't wanna get ripped off..my mileage nearing 100k already
*
I heard Renautech is cheaper. around RM500. I went to RS Auto, RM600. whole set with the other 2 belts.

@kidmad,

its been a while i flush my engine oil with the flusher sold in the market, is it recommended to flush the engine oil once in a while? or theres not difference?
*
Hurmm i did ask a couple of mechs as well but they say don't waste your time. After 10 year just overhaul. But from what i read somewhere it's better not too flush. If you want to flush make sure you use the right product. If the flush is not properly drain it might be a problem. You would not want it to evaporate and stuck in your engine afterall.

Myself the next run ill just pour in ceretec and use liqui moly semi oil. hehe i somehow like it effect.

a bit confius..what act the recommended amount for gearbox oil (MT)?

previously go to sc they just pour in 3 liters. i ask them twice bout the actual amount and they convince me only 3 liters is enough. since they "look" more expert than me i didn't argue further.
*
hmm.gif hmm.gif 3.4 litres if i am not mistaken. Need 4 bottle as far as i know. I used REDLINE MTL 70W80 GL-4 Gear Oil when i first got the car. No comments but so far so good already running 40k km my manual gearbox havun rosak. touch wood*

Transmission Oil TRANSELF TRJ 75W 80W (3.4 lit.) <--- this is what we suppose to use.

i see you are asking for the VINYL wrapping for the whole car. If you get the price let me know as well. Thinking either to respray whole car pearl white / stick it whole car pearl white.


Added on March 25, 2012, 8:34 pmHAHA, There is a lot of left over i should say. half a role definitely can wrap whole savvy!!! confirm! I just added more padding to my floor mattes... boot, the part where there is a ply wood. what i can say.. awesome. Wind noise? hardly hear it unless i went for 140 km/h, minor squeaky sound behind gone. Front disc scretchy sound.. i can't hear it anymore! now wait for my rubber seals and it should be even BETTER!

Now for the oem cheap foaming my plan to have anti roll ball that would be next.

PS: planning to make the car sui sui end of the year change car. haha

Recently, the ECU light AKA zig zag light came back again. Been going to Renautech for several times regarding this problem.
At 1st they claimed it is the accelerator sensor problem. Changed to new one but problem came back after few days. Send back to renautech, they gave the wrong accelerator sensor for my AMT.
Drove for about one week then problem came back again. Went back again, tested everything. From throttle body, the ECU "control plate"( I don't know the actual name). They said no problem, drove for about week then same problem again.
Sent back for the 3rd time, to test properly everything and got all the wiring checked as well. Took back the car and till last 3 days ago. The ECU light came back. Anyone could help me with this? Sorry for the long essay :3
*
dont plan to give RS AUTO a try? Not too sure what light is that. I hope manual does not have it. haha

Can tell me fuel consumption of Savvy?
from What i googled, so much different answer, what is the reason?
*
If i tekan 140km/h when i'm working during odd shift it would be full tank RM52 360 - 380km, If i maintain 100km/h - 110km/h working during normal shift takut kena saman ma... then it would be RM52 420km. The figures are always accurate for my case.

u know the dashboard near the 2 sides aircond hole, theres 2 more hole above it (left and right)? always got sound like things shaking inside the holes.

then 2nd one is sound under the front tyres, sound like geduk2. haha dono how to explain la the sound.
for the 2 aircond ones you sure it's the aircond? Or there is something lose in the plastic cover of your side mirror?

As for the front tires geduk geduk that is quite dangerous. Check see your bushes ok or not. Corner on uneven road only hear it?

QUOTE(fixgd @ Mar 26 2012, 04:34 PM)
well theres no definitve answer for that. for me, city + hiway drive - RM10 i could get 70km averagely. so for full tank (RM 60-65) i could get around 420-450km. is that good kidmad?
Mine so far RM52 = 420km driving at 100-110km/h. at 140km/h it will reduce around 60km per tank.

I have been driving my AMT since 2006. Mileage is 98K++.

Following things I have changed.
1) Speed sensors and the other one. Cost me RM300++
2) Plug cables. Cost me RM300
3) Radiator fan. cost me RM100++ i think.
4) Absorbers front and back. this was last year. cant remember how much.

Problems encountered
1) Stutering. But since I have changed the sensors and plug cables abt 3 years ago, the problem only occurs once or twice a month. At times none at all.
2) Ignition problem (hard to start). Again since I changed the sensors, everything ok. And evertime I send for service, I asked them to clean the sensors.
3) Auto sensor lights on. Once a month/2 months but I have it check at the SC to ensure everything is ok. So far ok. It happened while the car in front of traffic light or during jamm. All I did was switched it to Neutral.
4) Unable to engage gear. Happend twice. Once during jamm hour and I just parked the car on the emergency lane, rest for 10-20 mins and start the car again. Next day went to service center and have the sensors cleaned. SC charged me RM25.
5) Water leaked in at the the 3rd brake light area after heavy downpour. SC cannot find what is wrong till today. But for the past 6 months it didn't occur even after heavy downfall. Maybe the dust has settled in the hole and covered it. lol..

btw, I don't use the Auto function. I always used the manual function cause I can rammed the engine abit. Wish could install paddle shifter. I thot of changing the engine to the 1.4turbo version or the renault kangoo auto version. but not enuf money at the moment.
*
bro if want to plant in new engine. get 1.2 starlet turbo. Quite good actually and in the future your ignition coil problem would solve as well.
Engine is .... BHP: 133@6400RPM

QUOTE(fixgd @ Mar 27 2012, 04:15 PM)
i realise in the price tire list, theres no 175/50/15. what tire i could get for that size? don want NCT5 pls
*
for 15" i think you have dunlop D 01 and NCT 5 only for that size in malaysia. Previously using 15" i downgraded the rim to 14" and change the tires to CC5 175/65/14. But please don't use that size it will kena fender when taking steep corner like parking or etc. Use 185/60/14 instead. It should be clearance.
