Hi guys, I have interest in buying a 2nd hand savvy (before I get more money for whatever car)..when I go to mudah.my and see the market value, it's just too cheap to be ignored especially comparing with myvi (same year). although savvy looks a bit ugly and small.

is there any second hand car dealer which is reliable and will overhaul the whole thing before selling it? I myself like those life of a geek (not yet to cars) but I think I should focus more on career rather than learning how to fix a car instead.

From what I read, the AMT thingy is really interesting. I think most of the pros have emphasized it enough to use it as if it is a manual transmission, except that we dont have to worry about the clutch.

so the main problems are always the TDC sensor, ignition coil and some leakage here and there. Does all these have to do with AMT thingy? It doesn't make sense to me since AMT is just the way the transmission works. So does this means that savvy is poorly built in the first place?

because when I see people posting the problems about savvy are almost the same, it makes me feel that overhauling doesn't fix anything. Just like a melting icecream.

If you want to try, I can lent you this device, It seem can connect but error code no found and respond lag (connect it with my android phone), PC software include with the device mostly outdated and can't use. FYI, i bought it from china @ RM50.

But you have to wait until I back to Malaysia

is it the same model?
i want to know which parameters available for savvy.

hello all, im thinking to buy a new savvy next month.
I found a Penang sale agent , he is selling savvy at around rm 28000
however, im in jb, penang is too far from me.
so i would like to ask does anyone here can recommend me proton sales agent in jb area?
Thanks ^^

Thanks but need to ask:

1. Where is the Proton Parts Centre (PPC)? Any exact address or GPS coordinate?
2. How much did the labor of replacing it costed? The cooling coil is inside the dashboard, and that is to be dismantled then replaced back to access the evaporator.

hello,
been looking for a car for a while,
b4 this been looking out for the sneo,
and the consumption is quite good after driving a few of my friends car,
one of it the fc could get rm20 from shah alam to kuantan,
but yesterday been driving his other car which is savvy and it seems quite good and pretty low fc,
so the thing i need to ask,
if i were to get a manual savvy,
will it cost a lot for maintenance since will only be driving it to class,
and sometimes from shah alam to terengganu,
and i'm still a student,
haha,
many thanks

Hi,

You can find the necessary contact info for PPC here: http://www.protonparts.com.my/
Yes, the cooling coil is in the dashboard and it has to be completely dismantled. I was charged about RM400 labour, including new gas.

Thanks for the reply. So the coil sent to you or picked it from their place? Anyway will try call there.

Don't bother. Doesn't work on savvys. Already bought one. Tested with over 10 sw on pc & phone. Only 1 works and only can read battery voltage. Already consulted a fellow forumer who programmed his own OBD reader, apparently proton got siemens to change some of the ECU data header to make it compatible with their PDT & renault readers only.

Sold mine to a friend driving merc A160. Works on his car. Reads and shows everything. Demmit~!


Oh yeah, high temp problem, thermostat checked / changed? Cooling system bleeding done?

if want to replace absorber need to replace all 4?

any recommendation for good absorber? price?

nope. can change 1 by 1 if you want but recommended to change them in pairs. i.e. both front, both rear. that way it won't cause stability problems.

mine right now, front is standard replacements, rear using modded wira pro-ride abs. much stiffer than stock. nice for driver but not so nice for rear passengers when you hit bumps.. haha
other brands other people use : KYB, D2 adjustables, hotbits adjustables, RGT sports (sucks according to the user) and of course pro-ride (both sport & standard versions).

Price range anywhere between RM120 to RM500 per pair. Rear sets are cheaper than front. Cheapest are the standard ones..

Guys,

Anyone had problem with AMT accumulator before? Mine cant engage the gear to auto and can only use manual for the time-being. Sent to workshop they said it is a pressure leak from accumulator, might have to change it for 1k ! Anyone had similar problem before?

thanks for ur reply.
then i dont bother lah with that item.

thermostat checked and remove. bleeding done. the only part havent chk is the water pump. mileage edy 115K km.

Had that problem last week. My 2006 AMT would change from auto to manual while I was driving, and then it would get stuck on one gear and won't let me change till I stop, turn off the engine, and start up again. I took it to the authorized Proton Service Center nearby and they replaced the accumulator for RM 1.2k.

After I got it back, I drove for less then 4 days, and the same thing started to happen. took it back to the workshop and they said it was the motor so... it's been at the workshop since Wednesday.

I think that after I get it back I will go car shopping.

I have the same problem too for my AMT 2008 savvy

but i got the extended warranty for clutch and engine, not sure can claim it or not, anyone have any idea??

hi all savvy sifu,i was now keen on savvy used,saw some deal in mudah.my asking 9k for a 2005 savvy,Mileage: 85 000 - 89 999,manual,is it a good deal?what should i caution before the deal?thx!

Hello all.
I'm actually looking to buy a second hand savvy here.
I saw a 5-year-old savvy and kind of like it, but i saw that the front bumper colour is a bit washed off/peeled, just the part above the plate number and in between the lights.
Also the "holder" of the side mirror is rusty too.
Are these normal for used savvy? or are they signs the car has had accident before?
Thanks!

try calling a PSC & see? good luck bro.

The PSC said the electropump will cost 2k+ to replace... I dunno if I even want to go through with that, knowing there's still one more part of the AMT assembly left to break after that

I'm thinking I just wanna junk it and go car shopping today Anybody wanna try to talk me out of it?
