Yala, they dun care la. Just take out that bottle, pour out the contents, masuk their product.

Thats why I am telling Mieza to drain out her coolant and re-fill with Proton coolant, coz whatever shet they pour inside now mixed with existing coolant dy.

Yup. Best solution. thumbup.gif

lol... that incident is about 2 -3 years ago la... slot in wrong gear n slam the pedal... lol.. cool2.gif

btw.. done my 5k service today..
total is RM 127.55

got 4 complains..  sweat.gif

1) drumbrake
i ask for replace but he just did minor service.. and kasi ketat the handbrake.. unfortunately.. the "tak tak" sound still got and worst.. no nid press brake oso got that sound... doh.gif the foreman then loosen something and the sound gone.. (for now)

2) 21. -2.5 k rpm sound
im puzzled.. in dares blog.. he said the sound coming from the flexible hose.. right? but this genius foreman said nope and its the air intake is the culprit.. i tell that CoSE diagnosed it and said its the flex thing.. he said they must be crazy.. lol...

3) brake got sound when slot into P
caused by some selenoid thing that functions as a lock when slot in P.. the sound is so loud yet he said that its normal..

4) whistling sound at center aircon vent..
its the new improvement from proton he said.. causing the gas and blower to set at same rate..
(i dont understand that so i ignore it)

waited from 10 am and done at 5 pm..  vmad.gif  vmad.gif

Apo salahnya kalau hari2 ujan laugh.gif jangan banjir dah. Have you guys insured your car with special peril such as flood/riot strike/legal liability to passenger/liability OF passenger?Do you know all these are the essential of motor insurance?instead of windscreen claim,do you know you can repair the crack & do a partial claim?

How many of us do READ our policy after received? I guess half the car owner in Malaysia don't even know from where they purchased their insurance from. If I happen to host an insurance talk, will any of you attend? hmm.gif

Yup, that's main worry...sad.gif

Nope. Feel NOT caused by FSB.

Probably Saga originally designed for 13/14" rims.
Then found can accomodate 15" shod with 195/50R15 w/o probs if suspension slightly stiffened.

Also cos Aussie market more inclined towards min 15" rims.... rolleyes.gif

So with 55 series tyres, height/width increased....and cause wat's happening 2yr ride...

ps. Abv juz my imagination...? tongue.gif

Firstly Me not sifu... rolleyes.gif

Try 2answer yr question...to best of my knowledge, ok? tongue.gif

Bro gogoman86 was trying to compare difference between FLX Exec & Std ie Exec has wat Std not hv...
So wat is in Exec may not be found in Std. A strong possibility.

Me rber 1 mber here ask abt a connector he found (under driver's seat) which was NOT connected.
Try see if yu can find such a connector under yr driver's seat. If got AND it's also NOT connected, then probably yr FLX Std NOT hv the seatbelt sensor. sad.gif

Good Hunting... rolleyes.gif

ps. Juz my fantastic imagination...? icon_rolleyes.gif

yeah, agree with that, the choice is ours, and we gonna drive it for few years until we afford for buy another car

ps. car is just a transportation, doesn't need to invest so much money on it since the market value for existing car keep dropping unless we invest it on housing  icon_idea.gif

Yup, Bro, the choice & decision is OURS!! rclxms.gif

Yr "ps" is also true.
Buying a car is definitely NOT an investment! But is definitely a LOSS!! sweat.gif

However if need 2buy, best policy is to get the Top of the Range of the model we hv chosen. Saves a lot if heartaches/regrets later on...on looking back! rolleyes.gif

I may be sifu, but not as hawt as you think.

Pre-tensioner is a locking mechanism to prevent your seat belt to release you forward when emergency brake.

Which sometimes when you get up the car try to pull your seatbelt but it stuck, you'll have to release a little and pull again. To further explain, your seatbelt got tension spring that will roll it back to the sleeve. The roller came with gear end, the end hooked up with a roly-poly trigger. When you hit the brake, the roly-poly will drop due to inertia, and your roller got jammed and to prevent you leaning forward. Once you release brake, either the car is stationary or continue moving forward then the roly-poly will automatically move back up so your roller is free to roll again, and your seat belt able to pull again.

The above explained pre-tensioner in layman term for those who wanted to know more. So now you know it has nothing to do with the LED on your dashboard. As seniors over here answered, only haier spec BLM/FX/FLX got the LED indicator, the rest ilek.

More info about how pre-tensioner works with other safety feature in motor vehicle(which GaGa doesn't have, may be Dugong has it for the pricy reason)

Hi Bro...
Feel the para that me hv coloured blue is for std seatbelts ie how it locks to hold a person in his seat...IINM.

Secondly me agree with "it has nothing to do with the LED on your dashboard" ...ie That indicator light is juz 2tell driver he's not buckled up yet!

Finally, feel the Red part is NOT true....FL/FLX Exec do hv pre-tensioner for front seat passengers IINM. thumbup.gif rclxms.gif

ps. Juz my fantastic hallucination...? rolleyes.gif
