haiyo..my savvy now got insane amout of problems..bought august 2005 mileage 35k km
1. lock the car with remote oso the car is only half lock
2. cannot start after 3 days didnt start
3. last time temperature gone up to whooping 5-6 bars.......at that time was traffic jam..i was panicked just turn off the engine
1. What do you mean by half lock? When you try to lock the car remotely, it won't really lock but when you open the door, the alarm is triggered isn't that so? Ensure the indicator stalk must is neutral position then you can lock it.
2. Can you pls be specific? Battery problem?
TDC sensor problem - the symptom usually need many cranks to start the engine. Usually happen when engine is cold.
Try to clean the TDC sensor and it helps a assume that your warranty is already over.
My steps on how to clean the TDC sensor.
http://www.savoc.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4552If you're not confident can send to SC for the cleaning job.
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant header expansion tank. If needed top up slowly and bleed the coolant system properly to get rid the airlock. Open the bleeding screw while topping up the coolant. Do this when the engine is NOT running. The only bleeding screw is shown in the TDC sensor cleaning guide.
-Check the coolant hoses connections for any leaks.
-Check the thermostat, afraid that's it faulty, the valve could be jammed/ closed preventing coolant to go to the bulkhead to cool the engine. The thermostat valve closes in the morning to heat up the engine quickly and remains open during normal operating temperature. The thermostat housing location is shown in the TDC sensor cleaning guide. The only way to check is to open it up. Need to go to SC..don't worry the replacement is very cheap.

I know this might sound a bit noob, but I just found out that Proton Savvy like Waja, has the signal switch on the left side instead of most if not all conventional Malaysian cars (from Wikipedia).

Does this cause hindrance to Savvy owners? Or it's easily overcome as time passes (as in used to it, habituated)?

I've tried visiting the savoc, but I find the M'sia subforum is heavily "BM'fied"; I do understand BM, but their SMS'ish language is killing me.

Dun worry, other MORE important subforums were still discussed in English. Like Modifications, problems thread etc.
