drumbrake problem seems no cure to it. some ppl comment as long as under warranty, saga users are allowed to exchange for new one foc. but the point is this not a long term solution. how abt after 3 years warranty? it the problem come once a month (conservative measure), exchange a new drumbrake + labor could cost more than RM50/100. will proton solves this problem thoroughly? i yet to own saga flx but plan to get one. if those problem remains, i had to postpone the plan. any idea abt those issues like drumbrake & dashboard sound? pls comment.

thanks

Yup, me also tested after tightening only one first.
IINM Dun think that screw does anything else except to hold door handle in place. smile.gif

Re 3 screws @ lock area, mine were oledi tight.
So feel shld also not be loose. IINM they're for holding that end of lock mechanism in place there. tongue.gif

All these are assembly oversight items. QC guy juz looked 2C the screws were there nia!!! Nvr chk-ed tightened properly or not!! doh.gif

Thanks for sharing fellas, I also found the screw inside the door loose for all 4 doors vmad.gif

As for the three screws around the door latch, all were tight except for the front passanger door, where all three of them were not tightened.

Good catch!

QUOTE(davidke20 @ May 20 2012, 11:50 AM)
Bt the way, remove your 1st fuelly for the empty tank whilst you receive your car with empty tank, you'll get a 99.999% accurate reading instead. it doesn't make sense for 12km for 29litres of petrol. Your car is fairly good FC if you remove that 1st column.
Does 1st reading include..? Coz I already tick it as partial fill..

QUOTE(dares @ May 20 2012, 01:17 PM)
Need to see how you actually drive before I can comment. Now I keep at 2k even during acceleration, very noticable improvement in FC, my city drive at regular 80-90kmh stretches with the occasional congestion is almost as good, if not better than my highway FC at 120kmh.

Other factors like the traffic condition and road condition also have to be taken into account, one driving style is not always suitable for all conditions.

OR, wait for your FC to improve as your engine "matures".

Actually, I see in your fuelly you get the occasional 11km/l is quite good compare to mine before the first service.

Haiyaa that true.. Road and traffic condition.. To go to my work need to naik bukit.. If got lorry front need to drive in slow motion.. Sometimes need to be careful coz got cow and dog melintas jalan so cannot drive faster.. and I've to park my car under the sun all the time..

Bcoz your "averaged" is absurd compare to your regular mileage/litre. Therefore I suspect your 1st fill up kacau. Air con should remain minimal, as we found out everytime when aircon compressor kicks in, atleast 30% of the torque went support the air conditioning. Now I understand why TINT can help to save fuel laugh.gif Everytime kan we see advertisement from suratkhabar saying their tint helps to INCREASE HORSE POWER & SAVE PETROL?
