Is this a NEW ruling 2b a forummer in THIS Saga Forum?

If so, then this Forum will be the very FIRST Restricted ONLY for KLANG VALLEY owners...a very sad day for Car Forums in LYN...

ps. Sincerely hope not tho....Saga owners/users are thru-out the nation...

Sorry to reject, Bro...
Me alwaz do NOT believe in any form of "divisive" philosophy, action or move...

Ever read "Animal Farm", Bro?

It's true no one gets anything joining this thread ... Nothing materialistic ...
What one gets in a Forum is something NOT measurable but worth more than $$$ can buy!!

The feeling that one is NOT alone...
the feeling of belonging...
the feeling that one has a place to seek help/support/understanding...
and lots more...

For those who can meet in person, we (who kenot) do envy yu...we wish we cld...not our choice not to meet...
And so we do NOT begrudge yr good fortune 2b able 2do so & share in real life...we are happy yu cld...

However, pls treat all...who come in here, sharing similar interests, same love for our rides...EQUALLY...at least FAIRLY?

Posts like below shld NEVER happen :
What abt those who dun post their responses & stay away?
I rber someone asking why the Forum has been "quiet" recently...

It is a wise, experienced & understanding TS who can foster unity, friendship, sharing & caring among all who read, visit or post in his threads. True?

Let's b True Bros, wherever we may be & fulfill the main objective of such a Forum...

Over to yu, TS & ALL who love their Sagas...

Glad 2note yu not butthurt...
However, not every Saga owner knows TS...
And fr latest "move", me juz feel that this Forum gonna b abit "sesat" if continue in same direction...

Then we'll hv various "classes" of forummers labelled in here eg VIPs, non-VIPs and mayb later VVIPs?
This wld not b a healthy sign...for Saga lovers here...

Sincerely hope ALL reg Bros (esp TS) gets my drift...?

ps. Takde niat ape2 kcuali yg baik saje... TQ!

Juz cos we luv & care 4our ride...

Whenever there's any "labelling", there is a tendency towards bias/prejudice & uknowat.
Juz hv a good look arnd us...a very good example...if yu get wat I mean...

Feel sure nobody wants that in here or am I wrong?

TQ 4re-assurance, Bro!
Sincerely hope so...
It'll b good 4ALL who drop in/by here...a truly Happy Friendly place for ALL Saga lovers!

Chk & replace, if necessary, the radiator cap...
Water can b lost thru a probably faulty/worn cap...
Dunno but found out my FL (so possibly BLM, too) using radiator cap of higher value 1+ ie not usual value of 0.9...

Since no other signs, feel possibly loss of water as STEAM...so not overflow into reservoir....loss via cap...
Chk pressure value of cap...if not 1.1, try replacing it ... the common value only 0.9!

UPDATE :
There must be a leak in the cooling system somewhere...
Reason?
If no leak, then on engine cooling down, vacuum created in sys wld "suck" coolant fr reservoir to fill up space.
So if it didn't, the most common culprit is the rad cap...beside at hoses & their joints...
Worst scenario is head gasket blown...but yu oledi eliminated that, rite?

That red blinking alarm switch is the Alarm Reset Switch.
Hv 2press it 2reset alarm if it goes off. It also blinks when the alarm is activated.

So not thermostat prob...?
Sometimes the least suspected might turn out 2b the culprit...

Simple logic :
If everything has been working well & fine all this while BUT now something is not...what does that tell yu?
Of course, something is NOT working as it shld be! Correct?

Removing thermostats hv been a common action & simple/easy solution adopted by many mechs...since time inmemorable!
Not need to investigate further. Instant cure. Customer happy! Period.

Juz 1 question...

How is it that the car has been working as it shld FOR YEARS and now having a working thermostat suddenly becomes unnecessary?

If it's not working properly, replace it! Not totally remove it from system!!

In pre ECU/MPI engines, removing thermostat means engine running below optimum temp for lots longer & engine efficiency is compromised!

Ps. If thermostat NOT needed for engines in our climate, wld not Car Makers save lots by not installing them in cars sold here? Huh?

Firstly, coolant/water juz kenot disappear wan! Has 2b lost as a liquid or gas ie steam.

There shld be stains/coolant deposits if there's water loss...unless loss is into internal engine block parts.
However, yu've mentioned all chk-ed out ok!

So only not easily detectable loss is as steam...

Hv yu tried running engine stationary & chk for steam escaping? From rad cap & all joints of cooling system? Even engine block areas?

Best wishes & Good Luck!!

ps. Can use a small metal pc eg aluminium or even a small mirror 2help detect steam condensation on it as yu move it arnd suspect areas?

Hi Everyone...

Time to post a couple of pics and to say Thanks a Meg to Bro V12K...Tks a meg, Bro V12K!!!

Yup, here are the pics to share...

ps. Bro V12K, yu did a fantastic job packing & sending those Stickers!

Yup, really nice box...fantastic condition!
Big waste 2juz throw la...so me keep 4future use!

Tks a meg agin, Bro!

ps. It's NOT easy 4anyone 2do this 4a "total stranger"!! Do really appreciate it! TQ!

Personally, me trust & prefer outside mechs...esp the experienced, pro-active ones with initiative!!

Me only go to SCs only for scheduled services during warranty period...for all my rides...in case unlucky enuf to kena BIG trouble!!
Not need to be

ps. SC mechs trained only to do scheduled servicing & replacement of parts due2 wear & tear...mostly are poor troubleshooters, if yu get wat I mean...
They only know wat is 2b done after HQ sends them a memo on the problem...

Added on February 19, 2012, 12:10 pmpps. The good mechs @SCs leave after they've got the experience & the capital to start/open their own private workshops!
Turnover of mechs @SCs is VERY high...

Probably a "slipping" belt?
Caused by sudden load when aircon pulley is engaged to compressor?

If can re-enact sound with car stationary but revving engine to similar rpm, then spraying belt with water wld identify/confirm it.
