its very easy to do if u had the correct tools to do it~!

Hi All Bro,

I got some question because i saw some topic discuss about the Saga FLX overheat. may i know what is this problem actually ? because recently i am planning to buy the saga flx 1.6...

then it's ok.. nut provided right? and doesn't need torque wrench?

use back ori nut, torque wrench or multi-drive wrench is recommended... dont use open-end wrench or adjustable wrench....

I've driven my 1.6 from KL to Ipoh at 120kmh - 140kmh, no overheat issues.

Like any other cars, driven sensibly, there should be no problems. The Saga is not a race car.

icic...thanks your comment...

true.. but above that 150-160, fuel consumption very high. last weekend from gambang to kl
early in the highway i drove till almost 160 and 1 bar will be gone only after 32km
where else if driven till at least 120kmh 1 bar can go further around 50-100km per bar.

mind u the cvt hv it's own cooler, not sure how fast it can overheat
>5k rpm for more than 2hrs?

In my experience, best highway FC is at 90km/h - 110km/h. Once you go higher than 110km/h, the FC may increase instead.

you drive >5k RPM for 2 hrs, your engine might also overheat dy

also, higher than 110km/h, changes kena loteri dengan polis trafik also higher...

jz after i slowed down because of the bar dropping too fast.. i saw a police sitting under the flyover with cam
speed trap!

hopefully i won't receive a summon

speaking of bypass/touge.. my journey to muadzam i use kuala klawang road, very sunyi, bushes all over the road shoulders.. tight corners too..

went back to kl using lpt to cut travel time and less tension to overtake lorries

on the kuala klawang road, almost everytime attack corner feels like over the limit of this car
speed around 60-70.. tight bent summore

No summon, just love letter

love letter from polis trafik woman, me can accept, but polis trafik man????

where is the topic bro, can provide me the link? wan to know too

Here is my FC experience since I've drove this FLX more than 35,000 KM in 10 months :

From KL - JB (300KM distance)

90~100 km/h, one bar >105KM
100~110 km/h, one bar >90KM
120~140 km/h, one bar >70~80KM
130~160 km/h, one bar > 50~65KM

Look at this, drove til 102 KM but still never drop one bar...



I've try speeding 140 km/h to 160 km/h for continuous 1 hour, so far, no overheat problem occur on CVT.
Maybe the CVT get cooler too because the cooler get more air during speeding.

great sharing from most senior flx user
is this stock? and the high speed drive is it constant rpm?
coz mybe i'm not on constant rpm (trying to acceleration either to maintain speed uphill or
brake for slower cars and then accelerate again) which was not quite efficient

mine 1 bar for low 30km very high fc

Hm, even me driving manual flx also get around 75 km per bar (driving 90-100kmh) after fill in full tank. great FC there getting 100+ km T_T

highway/long journey mar.. btw 100+ achievable for speed lower than 100kmh
interestingly i achieved that went drove from kb to kl via trunk road
which demand slower speed than that on highway

Mine BLM manual @ 3600rpm can do 140km for 1st bar and 120km for 2nd bar, so ur @ such low rpm should be if not better, equal my car FC. So still u need to control ur right foot...

manual might still get the best fc compared to cvt and auto
if the driver knows the right time to shift and it hv good ratio between gears

on normal condition cvt is on par with manual coz not that many manual drivers
know how to get the most out of their manual car.

on manual tranny, there's also a lot of ways to experiment to get better mileage
cause it mostly depends on ur right foot.. whereas cvt depends mostly on computer to calculate the best ratio
