hi..

just got this info from prosboc fb

*info
dari pihak pengurusan PROTON. Bagi sesiapa Pemilik Proton Saga FL/FLX/SE/ yg mempunyai masalah brek belakang terutama ABS dan mengalami masalah brek berbunyi ketika membrek dan jawapan bagi permasalahan tersebut pihak proton sedia menukar BREK DRUM baru yg bersaiz lebih besar berbanding sekarang. Dan sebarang ketukan pada penahan brek tidak lagi diperlukan. hanya tukar kepada brek drum yang baru. setiap branch servis proton telah mendapat memo tentang masalah tersebut. So bagi yang ingin membuat penukaran haruslah membuat pertanyaan terlebih dahulu kepada pihak branch servis proton kawasan anda bagi memudahkan mendapatkan stok brek drum tersebut dan tertakluk pada terma dan syarat.. sebarang pertanyaan boleh ke setiap Servis Centre yang berdaftar. sekian

i've updated at pj section 13 proton svc. they also install one rubber near the intake on the grill foc

my SA didn't mention the exact function of it, on the receipt the item is - seal assy, hood front no 2 (blm)
mybe to improve intake flow or simply blocking dirt cause i already put rubber seal on headlamp and whole grille except near intake, but later found out it's ok to block it anyway

i've been using 2 weeks since the update, as others hv mentioned no more 'semput' issue when idling
crawling traffic jerking mostly gone earlier on update, but now seems to hv, but not as bad as before
i think it's almost the same as preve ecu update.. seems like they change 'D' to use 'L' setting

when i ask for update, the sa asked me if there's any problem b4, in the receipt only said -to update software. no mention of ecu or tcu

hi, i've been a silent reader to this forum since i bought my flx in 2011 august.

here's the photo, not my car.

red = claimed foc item. almost like big-d seal
yellow = my own seal (small-d)


btw, i also hv big-d rubber on the front edge of hood for better seal including between headlamp and hood

if seal whole gap of course la cleaner engine bay, if only the intake don't know

at first i thought it the hood cover, so no further question
later found out only that small rubber.. haha

initially i only cover front between bonnet and headlamp/grille except the air intake part
i've search and asked people and my conclusion is the air should be coming from grille upward into the intake, if we assume the intake does suck air
the gap on our saga jz too big compared to other makes or persona for example.

and if the gap does function shouldn't it be big enough to suck more air?

also the engine bay is quite dirty cause water and dust easily came into engine compartment thru the gap

isn't that cabin filter? which we got bulk last time

from my observation, at least the clutch will be released slowly even if u fully release the brake or not, that's without pressing accel, for certain angle of slope it will hold the car still

that's what i've doing all this while.. perhaps car behind me thought i'm driving manual, especially at traffic lights.
but now i mostly brake 1st jz to make sure the car behind notice that i'm gonna move

when stopping at traffic light, i nvr put to P, N sufficient + handbrake for safety.
from P to D will activate reverse light oo.. and too far already (time consuming)

i'm planning to, but will hold it 1st.
quoted by ea for around 400, cheaper than icecube which iinm 600
better do floor 1st

great idea

why my aircond sometimes become smelly, like someone fart.
is it because of something stucked in the aircond intake?

the intake under the wiper always hv flower buds / leaves / and sometimes birds poo..
need to open it tomorrow to see if can do something with it

the clip same as the door?

rear brake, try go cose to claim new bigger drum brake, as what i've read on prosboc's fb

for door side, that's normal, even go to sc ask to rectify, it'll be the same
solution do door soundproof

alignment: yes front only, rear torsion beam so less likely to hv alignment issues unless rallying etc

heavy usage suggested at 40k change

inside also a bit different than our gen2
i wonder the L5 based on Gen2 or not. using campro cps

here got diy prosboc fb

mybe u can put duct tape or masking tape on the edge to minimize the rattling sound
