hey guys, i am just curious about the headlight lenses. The orange indictor lenses, how do you make them clear instead of orange? Is there a way for DIY? or do you have to replace the whole lamp? And is it accepted by JPJ? lotsa questions sorry haha

hahaha.. savvy very canggih one.. u dunno ah?
lotsa sensor..

mine once problem with gasket, temp shooting to the sky.. cost me rm450++.. demm..

Hey guy, I'm planning to get a new savvy soon, after discount it's 26k only, but it's actually 2010 car, which is 2yo now, is there anything I should taking care of?

thanks hypermount But to be clear, what  do is take the headlamps out like how do they do so to install angel eyes, and I take the orange plastic out? This is in no way against JPJ law or anything right?

yes, change engine.. no auto on d4f la bro.. tukar starlet turbo.. rm10k (rm5k after u sell off your old engine part)..
bro hypermount..

i dun think its the head engine gasket.. probably some gasket near the thermostat location but its at the middle..

450 for me is expensive but rsauto too full with cars, so no choice..
no white smoke (thats engine oil burn sign right)..
only lotsa coolant wetting the floor or tarmac when i park the car @ the coolant in reservoir also drop down need to top up..

*owh, just remembered.. RS Auto @ mr ho suggest me change head block / engine block instead of change gasket.. easier job for him he said so.. cost roughtly rm1000+.. after that i straight away go to my friend to repair..

but did not happy with the solution so end up open engine change gasket.

my car's jerking getting worse. planning to go to renautech.

can anyone tell me what to clean act? tdc? anymore else

how much roughly is the cost?

My wife Savvy very difficult to start every morning, once start then no problem, any idea why? Just need to change starter?

Hi Savvy Lyn Club member :-)

I have a 2006 Savvy Model (AMT) with 74k mileage.
2 days ago I get the transmission light on my dashboard and i check on the manuals it says send to proton.

My question: Is there any way i can fix this my self? i read some of the threads here and there are many DIY tricks that can be done instead of spending cost from the shop:

1. What should be the first thing i do?
2. If I bring to Proton how much is the minimum cost for check up and repair?

I can still use the car if from "D" once idle for abt 10secs it goes back to "N". So i call proton and they advice me to use Manual Gear but it also goes to "N" after idle same.

Appreciate all your expert advice.

i tried to open the door panel but get stuck in the centre part ( the door opener ) any advise on how to remove it w/o damaging the door itself ?

Hi all, I'm new here to this forum.

Im currently driving a Red Proton Savvy MT too.

Mileage reaching 170+k km and reaching 5 years.

Just wondering, how often do you guys change your radiator coolant and Fuel filter?

Also, I plan to use Schnell 10w40 engine oil.

any suggestions?

radiator coolant, check the color at the water tank.. if not nice then change..

fuel filter, can check first.. if dirty then change.. every 30,000km if not mistaken..

2nd hand savvy owner up to 6++ year are advice to ready for fuel pump change.. cost rm500++with labour..

me also waiting for that thing to spoil already.. hoping it wont spoil during driving.. the key is not to always leave your car to go low on petrol (amber fuel check light)..

schnell?? dunno that brand.. i only use shell hx7, elf competition, now on first quad litre of liquomoly..

seem i gain another 10kmh extra using liquomoly.. now can easily reach 160kmh.. well some said they can reach 180kmh easily.. well, depend on engine condition probably..

*some said, change to mineral oil to get that higher topspeed figure but remember to change on 3000km interval instead of 7000 of semi syn..

** correct me if i'm wrong here..

I wish to put up my review on my test drive impression with a Savvy Manual 2006, hope this can get some feedback from senior member to further advice me. If you're too lazy to read, please scroll down all the way to the bottom to find out my highlights. Please help this poor soul to find his way to own an affordable Savvy, coz I LOVE SAVVY



As a SAGA BLM owner, my first impression seeing the car was a shock. The car has an inch thick of dust covers everywhere. The seller use his key to manually unlock the door, didn't even bother to engine check, immediately crank the engine for me. He was claiming the aircon is VERY COLD. So I hop in and blast until fan speed 4, I can feel the coldness, but the air wasn't blowing right. I asked his permission to dismantle his glove compartment, and found his pollen filter has been totally clogged up. As I took out the pollen filter, some hair clip, dead spider, dead cockroach, and many more fall off. The aircon seems hasn't been serviced since 2006. The seller immediately got shocked, and told me he hasn't seen any pomen that dress in long sleeve + neck tie in slack(I was wearing industrial VIKING safety shoe though). He was impressed as I even helped him to dust off the pollen filter and I can now feel the air blowing even fan speed is 1. For a 6 years never serviced aircon, I'm impressed by the cooling performance.



I was expecting original coil mat, even without coil mat atleast a rubber mat, but there isn't! The seller said, owner's kid spill milk on those mats, couldn't be clean anymore as the car would smells like rotten dead rat. So, I don't give a crap, since rubber mat only worth 4 bucks/piece. Immediately I hop on the car start driving. The clutch is surprisingly efficient. When I release the clutch pedal, I think its fully tensioned and need to readjust to a slightly lower position. Found out from seller, he just took the car to replaced the complete clutch set that cost him almost RM900(not sure whether its genuine). As we driven off, I heard engine roaring quite rough. I took a wild guess, is it supposed to be the teppet sound? Later I off clutch(stepped on the clutch pedal) and let the car free roll, surprisingly there aren't any noise generated. So, I have no idea whether its engine or the gearbox got problem.



Here comes the gan jeong part. As we hit open road, I slam on the throttle... the throttle response is IMMEDIATE!!!! 999x faster response than my Campro Twin Cam! But then, despite the RPM was soaring up, the speedo isn't showing significant speed increase(I certainly sure it wasn't the clutch spin). I'm not sure whether its because of the under power designed drivetrain required higher RPM to achieve lower speed just like the Campro? I wasn't really hitting the top speed as the seller is sitting besides me. We diverted into smaller road and start whacking corners. I am deeply impressed by the handling of Savvy! It show some decent bodyroll but within tolerance. However, traction wise is much... I repeat, MUCH better than my BLM. Despite its tall body, but it doesn't feels like Kenari/Kelisa/Kancil/Viva/Myvi AT ALL. I've got the feeling of driving a suspension well tuned Wira/Lancer. Above all that, the best part is the suspension doesn't feel any harsh to my butt. Running through pothole, the car will feel a very mild/muffled bump on the tyres but that's it. No more extra movement/swaying left/right. I am very surprised by the super comfortness ride/handling despite the car is very dirty and scratches here and there. We hit the brakes hard several time on the way back, and those brakes responded quite numb. I had to reassured my braking distance far before the car stopped.



I went down the car and did my final inspection, found the top mounting nearest to the power steering reservoir has totally gone. Would that cause the vibration to resonated in the cabin? Or is it because of the engine has badly run down? Or is it the gear box got problem? I couldn't decide. This is the 1st time I have my hand on a Savvy. I reconfirmed the brake fluid is BLACK SESAME PASTE color, radiator spare tank is dark chocolate in color, so as the power steering reservoir is dark color. I didn't even take out the dipstick and check, rest assured the car has NOT going through ANY maintenance. Centre lock has gone, alarm not working. Didn't get to check the CD player as I didn't bring, but radio is functioning. Overall, I was surprised by the handling and comfortness of a badly ruined Savvy. For a car so badly maintain, its suspension still felt much-much similar to a 2010 SAGA(if not better than a SAGA). The paint on the bonnet already faded. The left(passenger side) fender had accident before(can never cheat a guy who work in general insurance industries). Passenger side both front/rear doors got scratches by hitting the curb during cornering. Front and rear bumper, usual bits and lumps during parking, minor kisses unavoidable. Both side headlights are also faded(not sure what to expect, do I need to look for BOSCH logo?).

Last but not least, I managed to negotiate the price until RM7000. So, gentlemen(and ladies if there's any). Would you mind to help me up a little bit by providing some advice based on my finger snapping typing of these long paragraph grand father story? You guys are the king of Savvy, and I certainly can't afford to buy a new 1 from show room, and therefore searched for the cheapest available option. Please enlighten me if there is alternative. Please let me have a rough idea how much I need to prepare to fix this car if I were to buy it? Some highlights below:

HIGHLIGHTS

1) Engine sounded very rough, not sure its teppet sound or gear box sound
2) I tried to squat down and see the bottom of the engine bay, no significant oily. The fella hasn't wash engine yet. Its dusty, but NOT oily.
3) I notice the steering rack is wet, was worried and checked, found its aircon water dripping down from the condense pipe. Is is supposed to have a hose to drain the condensed water?
4) Brakefluid seems a must to change if I own the car, factory is DOT3? DOT4? DOT5?
5) Radiator tank must be rust until mother also cant recognize already, changed 1? Or send for flush job?
6) Worst case is, if gear box KO, how much can replace 1?
7) If engine KO, how much full overhaul?

Appreciate if you can take a little time to help me up here. For the price RM7000, I would expect NOT spend any thing more than RM3000 to repair the car. Your help and useful advice will be much much much appreciated
