QUOTE(dares @ Jun 5 2013, 01:13 AM) http://www.fuelly.com/car/proton/saga I see. Well at least it does help in acceleration right? Like same accelerate rate at lower rpm with lighter body compare to higher rpm with heavy body.No. Cruising RPM is fixed in the TCU software. The only way to change it is to reflash your TCU with different settings. |

guys, will overfilled engine oil cause the engine to not start? mine did it again this morning. 3 times it just ran for 2 seconds and dead. and i checked that the engine oil was more than the maximum level of the dipstick. quite a lot more. and it was done by SC during my 1st service last friday.

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Jun 5 2013, 03:50 PM) Usually won't affect engine not to start. Did you wipe dry the dipstick then probe again? yup i did wiped dry the dipstick, was driving a leaking engine oil kancil before this so im very concern about the oil level. dont really get your last sentence. I am very particular about over filling because the crank might be frothing the engine oil like beating an egg. |

QUOTE(lunacy @ Jun 15 2013, 10:28 PM) Nothing to be sad about, they are all the same saga. My friends are mostly driving saga. From blm to fl to flx. We share the same feeling same spirit driving gaga. Did not feel sad for being driving blm or fl. Despite lack of features and price difference for older saga. |

QUOTE(dares @ Jun 15 2013, 10:54 PM) lol....it the same type of sensor user in your fuel pump to measure fuel amount in your tank FL have aux and usb as my friend own one. One more thing is meter color, its orange for FL and white for FLX.Adui, if you chase new models like that then it will never end. FL is a perfectly fine car for it's purpose. Imagine buying the first iteration of dugong then butthurt after it's thousandth facelift. Engine BLM/FL - 1.3 Campro IAFM FLX - 1.3 Campro IAFM+ Gearbox BLM/FL - AichiKikai MT or Mitsubishi 4AT FLX - Getrag MT or Punch powertrain CVT Safety Dual airbags and ABS is introduced in FLX onwards. Chassis remains the same until minor changes in FLX SV. ICE BLM - Clarion CD player FL - Clarion CD player with steering mounted controls (not sure if it has aux and USB port.) FLX - Clarion CD player with aux and USB port and steering mounted controls. Correct my if I am wrong or missed out anything. Anyway, whats improvement on the chasis of SV? |

I think i haven get use to cvt yet after owning the car more one month plus. How do you guys accelerate to overtake cars? When emergency want to overtake, i press the pedal until 4k rpm but coudnt feel the torque coming, i have to release a little then can feel the power. When i cant feel the power, its human natural tent to press more and the rpm suddenly shoot very fast after 4k rpm. Hope any cvt sifu can give some tips.
