Previously bought a KL plate one about 2 months back. Essentially my daily driver.
Last week, I bought another Savvy. This time a Penang plate one. Overall a steal as previous owner repaired the AMT system and replaced the timing belt before the sale. Have all the paperwork. Only issue now is the loud noise from the AC compressor. Very noisy but AC is very cold. This one will be for modding. |

QUOTE(besheda @ Apr 21 2017, 08:13 AM) Hi all, Check the oil level for the AMT. There is a clear container on the gearbox.From Kuching, Sarawak here. I need a recommendation on which workshop can repair my savvy. AMT model. Since last week the gearbox keep blinking on & off then when I stop at traffic light yesterday the gear shift from 1 to neutral. Since then I cant start the car. Also there was no sound of the electric pump running when you open the car door or before ignition. One of the Proton SC here said its maybe due to the electric motor or the BOM spoiled. All in all he said repair around 4K....which is too much for me. So any guys can recommend a place in Kuching here can do savvy? Maybe install second hand part for the pump & BOM Appreciate any input. Yesterday, mine also same problem. Gearbox light came up and gear stuck at 2 or 3. Upon reaching a petrol station, I found the oil level very low. Bought some ATF and fill it up. Now smooth. |

After years of owning 2 AMT models, time to sell both for bigger car.
Both are 2006 models and AMT all fully repaired by Renautech. Both need new paint jobs and new interiors because these were my company workhorses. Both are in stock blue colour. Don't need to repair or do anything except the above. Ready to drive with valid road tax and insurance. Btw, both also have Katsana installed. Hope to find a good home for both soon.

In preparation for future petrol increase, I bought myself a Savvy for 1k.
The car is not in running condition hence the cheap price. However, it can crank but won't start. Already checked the fuel pump and it is humming ok. TDC cleaned. Coil connector cleaned. What could it be? The car didn't come with the original key with remote. Just a normal unbranded key. The previous owner was able to start the car and drive around ok until she upgraded and left it outside the house for almost a year. I'm thinking of ordering a replacement TDC to try but need to know what else to check to get it running again. It would be a waste to scrap it because the interior is spotless and mileage is low. The AMT runs fine and able to shift gears in manual mode. Any help is appreciated. TQ. This post has been edited by acbc: Jun 9 2024, 01:13 PM |

Ok. Just an update.
1. Fuel pump replaced. 2. Fuel filter replaced. 3. Coil pack replaced (used but working on another Savvy). Still the same symptom. It won't turnover. Can crank but won't start. What else could it be? |
