Dunno can ask proton to repaint for me... i dunno what color code also...
my door got three patch not color properly so maybe can ask them repaint then paint this small scratch.

Dunno is it possible to repaint...i have the sierra glow there. after repaint dunno it will stick on it or not..

Mat79 is it advisable to ask proton repaint?  not sure if the paint will stick on it or not? will they take off all the old paint and repaint? or just spray it then apply clear coat? what i worry is the paint spray will kena other place... maybe will also torn after a while...cause the sierra glow layer is very smooth... dunno the paint can stick there or not after repaint my passenger door...small patch got three patch around 2 inch wide each. only can be seen under the sun or light..at 25 or 30 degree angle..

The bumper is not metal, it's plastic, so it won't rust don't worry. Don't know if Proton can repaint it, though blush.gif

I posted this on the Saga thread after receiving Kristof's reply on a couple of questions about the CVT


On the issue of CVT coasting in N. Bolded parts were my questions, the regular text is Kristof's answer, red text is my comment.

QUOTE
Hi Kristof,

This is pertaining to the CVT system on the Proton Saga FLX.

Is it safe to coast in N gear? Or allow the front wheels to spin at high speed in N gear?

I have been told that it might damage the CVT. Is that true?




No problem, as long as the engine is running!


So, I conclude that:

1.) It is OK to coast in N, still generally not recommended in any car because you lose engine braking and no engine power during emergencies. And IF you engage D mode while the car is coasting, it may damage your CVT.
2.) Do not tow your car with the front wheels on the road, unless your engine is running.
3.) It is OK to do on wheel balancing, as long as your engine is running.

FYI, the CVT oil pump runs on engine power, which is why you need a running engine.



Thanks for your quick reply. Here is another one:

When I Jack up the whole car, meaning the wheels are not touching the ground, and put the gear in D, the front wheels spins relatively slowly when I press the throttle pedal. This is different than my other 4AT car, which will spin at normal speed as if it is on the ground. Why is that?



Because there is a recognition on this, the back wheels are standing still, causing the transmission not to shift up, unless you press it harder.


No idea we had this feature in the CVT. Not sure what purpose it serves, though  blink.gif

Actually this one quite pricey leh. Last time my SA (Seri Petaling dealer) sent a FLX SE to install reverse camera and auto brake lock, all in no more than RM250. The ABL should be around RM100 so the reverse cam+display should be around RM150 (including installation).

Don't ask me why someone wanna install reverse cam on a Saga sweat.gif sweat.gif

Only the owner and god knows doh.gif doh.gif

Anyway, instead of paying RM300++ for a reverse cam, I'd recommend that you spend the money on a in-car camera, those that point to the front of the car and records while you drive.
