whats your car model and spec again?

Problem no (1) happens when hard braking or even with the slightest touch on the brakes?

Go CoSE to claim all those items. Make your reservation early to prevent long waiting period.

CVT as long as you stick to the maintenance schedule and dont always trash it, then it works good.

Oh, and always stick to the Proton CVT fluid (Esso EZL99). Even if you service outside, always buy the CVT fluid from Proton Spare parts center then only service outside.

4 speakers.

it definitely looks cheap
But the sound quality wise (which is subjective) isn't bad. At least better than the other competitor's hatchback audio system. If one is an ICE enthusiast, not a single OEM ICE can satisfy them.

stick insulflex on doors only mah

the multi link set up of the Persona offers a more flat and relatively more stable ride compared to the Saga's torsion beam set up. That's a fact can't be denied.

That one is SAT mode aka RETARDANT SHIFTING mode.

same instrument panel

actual CVT run would be like this:



only rise and no fall as long as the foot is plated on the throttle.

actually 4,000 rpm can go more than 110kph. I personally hit 160kph before at 4,000 rpm on a decline. The reason why the person rev to 4,000 rpm is because the engine is producing the maximun torque at 4,000rpm which will give better acceleration (It is a 0-100kph test).

110kph = 2,600rpm for the 1.3. The 1.6 could be even lower rpm or the same. Never drove one before.

my 1.3, 12.4km/L. 70 highway 30 city, heavy footer.

the transmission comes with uphill/downhill feature. When you're on an uphill, a slight blip to the throttle will send the rpm go higher due to the ratio being shrink and this makes uphill climb much easier. On a downhill, the software will detect a decline and it will automatically apply engine braking which in turn, it holds the speed at around 50-60km/h.

normal AT does have engine braking, but not as strong as CVT

different gearbox different tuning.

Nothing major after 13,5xxkm of hard driving and strained driving conditions.

Do note that the lifetime is a car's life time which typically means 10 years.

save up that 10k, pump 97. WINRAR

mana ada remote boot release?

change spring then confirm wont sagat. Avoid APM or APM Performax at all cost. Can try Greber. Rm 220 or 230 I think

interesting

INFO about CVT Light Indicator

Whenever your CVT light comes on, it doesn't necessary means your gearbox has overheated. It could mean other possibilities such as belt slip, pulley slip, control unit overloading (my own term ) or belt snap. My CVT indicator has light up once again today when I was traveling on NPE at the speed of around 110kph. It was certainly not overheating, and thanks to my recently changed exhaust system, I can hear and feel what exactly went wrong. It was caused by a belt slip and also the control unit overloading. What happened is that after exiting the tol at PJS5 heading towards the ramp to Subang Jaya, there's a Lexus behind me. Being courteous, I move my vehicle to the middle lane and coincidentally it is a downhill slope. What happened was, the downhill recognition feature kicks in which in turn engages engine braking. While mechanically it is doing that, my human foot is actually pressing on the throttle slightly and my throttle level is on the borderline which makes the CVT control unit confused a little and causes it to try accelerate a bit, then it applied engine braking again then accelerate a bit and then engine brake again. When I hentam a bit on the throttle, it lurched a bit forward then the light came on and the car is in safe mode. I released the throttle and I can feel the belt is tightening back and the light then disappear and I can continue on my journey with a heavy foot all the way till I reach my destination.

Therefore, to other Saga FLX owners, when your light is on, dont panic. Foot off the throttle and then observe. If the light doesn't turn off a few seconds later, put on signal and gradually roll to the emergency lane safely. Let it rest a while by turning off the engine then turn on again. If the light lights up momentarily and turns off after you let go of the throttle, you may proceed with your journey.

That's why it is important to look for a credible and reliable insurance panel.

So far Allianz, UniAsia and P&O is not bad.

dont know anyone with that insurance panel yet.

Allianz = a lot in BLM club

Uni Asia = friend of mine

P&O = my father's old Kia Sephia
