Adik beradik of Mini cooper too

mine was really a faulty immobilizer. replaced under warranty jor.

also, if you hand over your key to car wash, and they lost your car, insurance also wont cover.

in your case, can still fight because you dont 'willingly' give away your key.

went to osman baba workshop, but not very pleased with the environment.

looks like a junk shop rather than a workshop. after 3pm also still not yet open on friday.

Thats really surprising. I had heard some great reviews for the work shop. Were you finally able to get your car serviced.
How was the service. How much time did they take.
any feedback on the type of workmanship.

i called one of the mechanic to ask whether they are open or not. said open.
so went to the workshop, waited 30 minutes and still not open, i left.

haha. wrong timing bro. ob shop normal working hour is noon to night. i always go after 8pm.

only ob specialize in savvy engine.

Good morning Savvy lovers,

My hubby and I just bought a used 2005 Savvy MT from a car dealer in Puchong. Tell you the truth no nothing about car engine. We're int'l students and needed an affordable compact car. The savvy looks fine, feels fine, and now we are proud owner of it..

Anyway, we want to check the engine again, coz yesterday, I parked parallel, and changed the gear between first and reverse quite often (new car, don't want to bump and ruin the "fresh" feeling ), and I smell like a burned smell from the engine. It also made a weird sound like the engine still running when I turn it off (of coz I heard it once I'm out of the car). So I started the engine again, and turn it of after a while. Went out and the sound is gone.

Sorry for the long post, u all can see that we truly are newbie about car.

So anyway, Is it the water coolant? Gonna check it later since we haven't used it since last night. And where to go to check it? Trusted and recommended mechanic for savvy from u guys. We stay around Gombak, we're students, I kinda understand Malay a bit so language will not be a problem. Just don't want to go to some mechanic shops and they will rip us coz we sooo green about this things (and again we're students, so budget kinda tight).

Thank you in advance.. and sorry again for the long post yaa..

Oh one more thing, how to change the clock time? Thanksss...

Congrates and welcome to the Savvy club!

The sound u heard while engine is off is from the radiator fan which is still running to cool d engine down. it's NORMAL but should not happen too frequently. i guess it's becos u took too long to park that's why the temperature went up quite a bit.

The burned smell- not entirely sure but do check ur temperature. if it goes beyond the normal 3 bars, some checking and/or repairing needs to be done.

Thank you for the reply..

Last night, the temp bar was at 3, no more than that. So should I do engine check up?

First of all, lemme welcome you to the Shawie small family. We're a small community that supporting each other. To answer your few questions, please refer below:

1) Burnt smell could be clutch positioning fork misaligned. Can be adjusted, but clutch pedal could get heavier. Other than this, possibilities are jammed brakes or bad exhaust that makes u feels like the car got the burning smell.

2) Engine sound after key-off. That could be the radiator fan. Mine has the fan noise for up to a minute after engine off. Yes you are right, it could be the coolant. Might be clogged up radiator tank as well. Or, its the fan relay that has gone haywire. Usually, radiator tank flush service is around RM90, coolant a better 1s are around RM60. Magician labor(to dismantle the tank for flush) is RM40. Roughly RM200 to get the radiator tank clean. Fan relay is RM25, usually labor included. So, pray that its only the fan relay faulty.

3) To adjust time clock, switch the dashboard indicator from trip meter to ODO reading(total vehicle traveled mileage) if its not already there. U can tell by reading an small wording besides the time. If there's a word "TRIP", that is trip reading, tap the reset button once, it will switch to ODO reading. Once you're at ODO, the "TRIP" wording is gone. To reset the clock, long press the reset button until the HOUR start blinking. Tap the reset button to advance the counter. Once done, leave it for about 5 seconds, then the blink will move to MINUTE. Again, use the reset button to advance counter. Once done, leave it for about 5 seconds and we're set. How do u know its set? When there's no more blinking

Finally, as a new owner, if you're not sure whether the timing belt is being replaced, its better to get it changed. It'll cost u arnd 400-500. You wouldn't want a snapped timing belt that cost u the engine damage. There aren't reputable Shawie workshops in Northen KL as far as I know. Best shot I gave is Renautech, which located at Subang USJ1. If you're not sure, can google for their existance by searching "Renautech Subang"

Once again, welcome to Shawie family

guys, i need help.

just bought a gearbox speed sensor. i'm facing the 0kmh symptom occasionally esp after heavy rain. i tried to cabut d original sensor but cant.

any idea how to replace it?

Just did mine, had a lengthy crap with it, which I don't wanna mention it anymoar. Almost breakdown and cry

1) Detach speed sensor plug
2) Pull the bloody sensor out
3) Put in new sensor
4) Plug back cable



Ok seriously, the sensor got 2 locking edge(refer to your replacement unit). Just gradually goyang it abit and pull it out. Don't worry, the sensor is prastik, the gebox is cast iron, so it won't break your gebox so easily.

haha.

ya, i noticed the 2 locking edge. i scared by pulling too hard the edges will break n fall into the hole then cannot take out. i already tried pulling quite hard but still cannot then i dun dare anymore.
