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?

thats if u buy a manual.. if buy another amt will kaput sooner or later.. wear and tear.. all 2005-2007 car are showing syntoms of problem now.. mine start with clutch replace, brake kit and engine mounting.. now temperature problem (hopefully just sensor)..

2005 - 2007 amt owner should change the brush of the pump now (mileage more then 100,000km).. dont wait til u cant engage gear.. cost you rm200+/-.. before u need to tow it to nearest shop that can repair that amt box which cost you the same for towing..

*its a small kinda advice.. 5 year long enough already for a car without problem.. start shedding money to repair and replace what possible problematic thing..

**the risk of buying 2nd car.. u need money for repair job.. thankfully i had that in mind already when purchasing my car..
*
Mine 2005 model also showing signs of explosion; now in Renault Tech for a week dy to change accumulator. Hopefully it wont cost me a bomb.
What's the best model u guys can think of for budget of 100k, in terms of durability, re sale value and after sale service?
Inspira is out coz of the lousy after sale service..
Mazda 3 sedan..not sure about the spare parts cost..
Forte..not sure about the re sale value..
City..ugly..

Any others to recommend?

last last Saturday?  shocking.gif  wtf man...if your car till now also no update means it's gonna be a long wait on my side as well.
shit must chase these buggers d. how old is your savvy?
anyone here has any idea how much a 4 year old 2nd hand savvy can sell for?
*
The boss din reply my sms although initially said few days can finish..i dont need car urgently so din push the bugger la.
My AMT is 6yr-old 100k mileage. All these yrs only minor issue wear n tear here n there (ignition coil, temperature sensor, steering switch, radiator fan) all changed. Cost is ok la as far as i m concerned, coil rm500 sensor 150 switch 300 fan 200. only now is major issue.
If the amt problem persists will go ahead n change to forte..

It's more like changing the compressor filter. it leaks the air cond gas out and needed changing. anyways for anyone that's interested, i've just taken back my Savvy from Renau Tech in USJ. They changed a new accumulator for me which cost RM1500. The guy in charge, William gave a good service to me. 1 week settle everything.
*
I also got my car back last friday..accumulator 1k, amt clutch repair 600..speed sensor 180. Hopefully it stays good for me for another 2-3 years.. smile.gif
Anyone has any good exhaust system to recommend in damansara area?

Hahahaa. IMHO, you should continue using your Savvy. Really good car and no need to worry about FC. If you are still worry, just ask William to check the whole car for you. I'm sure he will help smile.gif

ya it's a good car with great handling. Comfort-wise of course lose out to myvi. Savvy owners just have to be ready to fork out money for repairs after the car reaches 6-7 years old.

Hi guys, I just sent my car for 35k service and told them about my 1st gear jerk issue. They told me my ignition coil has to be replaced and they quoted me RM700! Can I get it done somewhere else without fearing that my warranty will be voided?
*
I last changed in RS Auto maybe around 500-600. The ignition coil should be original Renault.

so sad..my savvy bumped a strong peugeot 308 this morning. Luckily savvy is built tough, some damage to the grill, bonnet, lamps and front parts. Anyone sent their cars for repairs to this City Alignment workshop in Kayu Ara before? How's their services?

i couldn't engage gear this morning for about 5 minutes after starting the car, with auto warning light on. After letting the bugger rested a while it worked again. What seems to be the problem?

They're all AMT waiting for halfcut sparepart. Some the clutch pump ady beyond repair, getting a new unit would cost a bomb. Some the robot died, waiting for 2nd hand robot whistling.gif Some Kangoo Auto is sold as part car doh.gif That said, AMT/Auto halfcut is rare, manual mostly repairable and very seldom sell as junk flex.gif
