Nope. Have tried loose, have tried tight. Even if the sound goes away, it will eventually return.

Some interesting tidbits pilfered from another tered about Saga FLX drumbrakes

QUOTE(mat79 @ May 21 2012, 10:32 AM)
.....

About the brake, its depend, if the front, then the pad, if drumbrakes, they already doing countermeasure with vendors supplying the drum brakes n if finalised, the letter will be issue on that matter to replace the drum brakes on flx n flx se. Not all are effected but more than acceptable rate, so, futher investigation from rnd dept n send it to vendors to investigate. Normally on vendors part is the reason for the delay.


Added on May 21, 2012, 10:44 amthe question will raise why is the action is slow? Well, not talking behalf of anyone, but the thing works like this. The new policy in prtn, when a batch is affected, the whole batch will be called back n being replaced the parts even to those that not having the problems. So, vendors have to bear all the cost, so, the will investigate thoroughly to prove that it is in tolerance. Not the whole batch. Every tiny things will be inspect to search for the fault, n make sure it wont reoccur again.

Previously, the changes is only for those affected@have problems, but since exora onwards, the whole batch will be replaced with new one even those are not effected as safety measure the things wont reoccur, even its only involve the sound.

Thats why it is important to service at branch sc if can coz the data will be send to hq and will be cumulated. If send to 3rd party like dealers, it wont be in the systems, so, only a minor report on affected unit.

hi dares, yes, it turn out exhaust problem as stated in ur blog but other also mentioning the dashboard sound which was your initial suspecting on something once upon a time.
may i know is the problem has been fully resolved by exchange the exhaust pipe?
can change at SC instead of COE? cos i stay in johor, no COE here.
*
OK first thing is IF it is an exhaust sound, the sound is very distinct and only comes at a certain RPM regardless of speed. If it is the exhaust, I'd advise you to take some time and drop your car at COE for a speedy replacement. In my case, the sound went away after replacing the exhaust.

I did have some dashboard rattle (I didn't mention this in my blog, because if you car no rattle sound, it is not a Saga) which came from the left hand aircon vent. It was fixed when I replaced my CVT GB mounting.

honestly i have no experience servicing car at PROTON SC..especially COE. this is going to be my first time with the FLX..
so, I'd glad if u guys can give advice if there's anything unnecessary that I can avoid during 1st service..

You only need 3 items, as listed by V12K below. Anything else just say no, unless there is a warranty claim which should be free.

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ May 21 2012, 05:21 PM)
just stick with engine oil, oil filter, gasket plug will do.
*
AND PLS PLS PLS tell them to put semi-syn engine oil, Petronas Syntium 800 10w-40 at least. SPECIFICALLY TELL THEM ABOUT THIS. Otherwise they might pour in mineral oil.

Whats wrong with Saga?

If you pull up in front of client's place in a Saga, the client will think that you're someone with good financial planning. Coz Saga is value for money in its segment. High chances he will sign for you so that you can manage his plan wisely and know which plan to choose and which not to on behalf of him.

Thats why usually under the HLA basement, all you can see almost all cars are sedan, ranging from a puny Saga, to Vios, to Sentra, Civic, Accord, Camry, 3 series, 5 series and Merc S-class. Because sedan can give a better impression and better image to client compared to MPVs or SUVs and hatchbacks.
*
Your experience different than mine, but I'm not in financial planning la.

My client told me to straight my face when I told him I was getting the FLX "Saga ah, kasi buang lah." doh.gif

your that particular client must be some white collared worker working under numerous superiors in an organization earning a fixed income every month.

Hahaha true.

Technically my client is his company, he's the person I deal with. Bought a used Accord at RM80k for his high school son last year rclxub.gif

But many like me also deal with ppl like this la, seldom I deal with the big boss, whereby what I drive will never come up in any discussion sweat.gif

typical mentality of a fixed income white collar worker. It was due to them fighting and chasing after positions in the company and when they are earning RM5-9k per month they have HUGEEEEE EGO, and they somehow have the tendency to pick on low income earners to "show off" and at the same time belittle them. And the quick way to know one is low income or not is by asking them what car they drives.

Traction control for export, I suppose.

Left indicator tells you that TC is switched off, right indicator tells you TC is activated.

I purposely duck down to wipe my engine oil filter, pretend like very machine savvy, then accidentally slipped my left foot whilst getting up, bumped my head on the head lights tongue.gif luckily they weren't paying much attention that time, I quickly throw the wiping cloth & tools into the pail to confused them the knocking sound are actually my tools rolleyes.gif And yes, most of the time I'm clumsy. nod.gif

hi all, good morning.
want to know any idea where to get those historical interest rate for national car?
as i survey yesterday by calling to banks, technically most banks now offering relatively 3%+- for 5 / 7 / 9 yrs tenure.
is this consider low interest comparing to 5 years back? icon_question.gif
*
Off the top of my hear, I remember about just 1.5-2 years ago, when my friend bought her Viva with 7 year tenure - 4.1%.

For the Preve, someone has gotten as low as approx. 2.65%, I think. My Saga I got 2.94%, 6 months ago.
