This source came from someone i knew working in Proton wink.gif

He told me the ceiling price for the Savvy Sedan is RM40k..biggrin.gif

Ah well...there goes more price drop for my Savvy...sigh...well, since I'm planning to drive this car for the next 5 years, no worries i guess.

Now almost 5000km on the clock...should i change engine oil or just wait 10k km? I checked the engine oil and doesn't seems to be decreasing.

One bad news, front passenger power window start to have problem already!!! And i hardly ever use it.

My myvi front passenger window also start to have problem...but at least it's 15,000 km.

I wonder if the FC of the new BLM 1.3 is as good as Savvy?? Fuel price will rise again next year...maybe no more subsidy...and i wonder how the gov is going to charge "cheaper fuel for the poor". Drive lower cc car cheaper fuel? Or must show salary pay slip when pumping petrol?? rclxub.gif
If low cc car means cheaper fuel, I can see everyone clammering for a VIVA 660...

I think it's normal. Usually, when a car hit another car from behind, the one hitting the car will get damage to the front. I think it's designed to be like this for the crumple zone. Last time Waja hit my old Kia Sephia, front kemek, but my Sephia minor scratch only.

You can always go and test again by asking someone else ram your buttock....hee-hee...since you already have so many "hits"...

why not just claim warranty? free.

think wise.

I think things like lamp burnt cannot claim warranty if i'm not wrong. They just replace the bulb and it is considered as wearable parts. So chargeable.

Anyway, my power window(both) already got problem...5000k+ only *sigh*...gotta go fix it next service.

btw, the new SAGA dashboard looks really like a savvy... steering wheel, glovebox, airbag hole etc... etc..

Proton original filter now cost RM12.30 only from Proton parts centre (last 2 years it was RM 34.01)...OSK is around RM6.

Copper sealing ring is RM1.10

But I feel the cheaper OSK has better quality (from outside lah dunno about the paper filter inside), OSKs are wrapped with plastic (the mounting part) and the gasket is preoiled unlike the Proton one..

Added on January 18, 2008, 11:24 amMatrix, what kind of symptoms you're having with the power windows?

Driver power window sot-sot aleady. Press down no response, press up also no response. Have to press a few times then only got response. The remote to the passenger window totally not working, but i think the passenger window can be use from it's own button below the window. Maybe the driver power window switch spoilt?

btw, i intend to change engine oil (Mach 5) and oil filter at 6000k outside of Proton Service centre (dun wanna wait and labor expensive) and only go back there for 10K service.

Where's a good place in PJ to change this with original parts? Or should I just buy the parts from Proton? What else do i need? Sealing rings?

btw: My Myvi power window also got problem..sot-sot also...but it's after 10K...malaysia power window memang tak boleh pakai... doh.gif I miss my Sephia power window...7 years and tough as ever.

Try to add some lubricant (or WD40 they say), it might be still 'virgin' and hard. Or double check the power window wiring.

If I remember correctly, your Savvy should be still under warranty. Claim it fast. wink.gif
p/s: My Toyota LandcruiserII power window (15yrs) still working, but because it never move for some long long time, it moves very slow the '1st' few time... might be the same case, so lubricate it.

Bro...u think i'm mechanic meh...how to check wiring!!! Yeah, it's still under warranty, but i've a feeling they'll give some excuse like "spare part tadak" and make me wait for months. I dun think it's lubricant problem...looks suspiciously like the switch problem. since the other passenger switch can work.

Confirm, it's the switch problem..contact copper inside maybe loose or faulty...not the power windows motor problem.

It's a very easy to replace the module, the black controller sitting on the door panel/side armrest...just plug and play with some connectors and wires...go and ask for a replacement I'm pretty sure they have some stock which is easy to replace.

I dun have problems with my 2 year old plus Savvy...everyday use the power windows.


Added on January 18, 2008, 6:46 pmBuy from proton parts centre..every PESC main branch or EON main branches usually sell the ori parts to people...use ori if ur car still under warranty..so they won't have any excuse to void ur car warranty.

Forgot to add, the sealing ring or metal gasket or crush washer is for your drain pug on the oil sump...usually people complain oil leaking becos of this...the old sealing ring was never change..need to change as the old ring is crushed at certain torque hence the name...copper ring is not reusable cos it's soft..but the aluminium like in the pic ( but wrong size in the pic cos can't fit) if want to resuse the ring.

Usually outside workshop will wrap some white teflon tape around the drain plug thread to prevent leaking is the sealing ring is not changed...not a recommended practice, could spoilt the threads on the drain plug and oil sump..if use the tape you only leave evidence you'd serviced your car outside while under warranty.

Thanks for the tip. Ok-lar, i'll go back to the SC and fix the power window as well.....btw, my mileage not so good ler about 13.xxkm/l. Can i complain ar?? I was hoping to get at least 15km/l for this car....sigh...

Come on, a car getting the most fuel saving label in Malaysia Book of Record needs all this kind of percautions (like 2krpm upshift) to get 15km/L is a joke.
Matrix, if you haven't floored b4, just floored it just to exercise the engine. tongue.gif  Also request the throttle body to be cleaned see if its help FC.

Maybe i'm getting a dodgy unit...Only 5K+ wor, need to clean throttle already?? Exercise engine ...hai....means i rev it high before chnaging gears??....but i don't like to drive like mad ah beng....will long distance driving helps?
