I know someone who has SAGA SV MT. About 1 1/2 years old. So far has replaced fuel pump and the whole air filter box set too. Oh yes. Starter too. Is this normal? Or lemon car? Scared to get Proton because of this. Need taiko advice.

Is this normal? Or lemon car? Scared to get Proton because of this. Need taiko advice. Each and every model of other car maker will also have 1 or 2 unit of lemon. I would like to make a guess on your friend's SV1) Change fuel pump due to hard to start car after engine got hot. Often stranded at car park for 1/2 hour before the car can start. SC suggest to change fuel pump. 2) After change of fuel pump, still having trouble to start car. Everytime after lunch go back carpark wanna start car, it just wont start! Again, SC in view of already changed fuel pump, might as well change starter. 3) After all effort, there's nothing much can be done except change the air filter box. I don't see the relation of whether the car can start or not, may be during service SC technician accidentally break it, had to replace 1. Guess what? After change of fuel pump, starter and the bloody air box, your friend still having trouble to start the engine after lunch hour/long distance drive So, all these lemon problems are all from the same lemon car with some basic lemon expertise, we can make lemonade a joyful drink. WTFisLYN please suggest your friend to join our TT and come lurk here more often. If any problem he/she face, do come over and use the search function. We do care about the car and we know the car characteristic like the back of our hand. Please buy with confident and enjoy the car. |

Well put David, what you say is quite a reality.
Years ago in my car industry days I was told of a chap whose engine was smoking excessively, so the workshop decided to fit a replacement engine, after that was fitted they found the auto transmission was no longer operating properly so they replaced that too. Then after much head scratching it was determined the real fault was a failed diaphragm in the vacuum modulator for the transmission, so the customer ended up copping a $3000+ bill over a $30 part, and the real tale was kept from him. I have personally found a bad wire on a friend's fuel cut-off solenoid on his carburettor that a year earlier had cost him a fortune when a mechanic failed to diagnose it and did the simple thing by sending it off for a unneeded rebuild, jiggling the wire was all it took to decide the problem but remember tradesmen do tend to be better at lifting heavy things and smoking than most other pursuits. I like to do all my own work. |

I should add that a good tradesman is is like gold and should be treated with admirable respect, they're out there but finding them may take a little effort.

Hi all,
My car keeps having the same issue even after I sent it to workshop for quite a few times. What happens is out of sudden I can hear 'clak clak' sound from the gear stick and soon the gear shift indicator turns '-' (a dash sign), after that CVT light turns on and then I cannot accelerate my car anymore. I would need to reignite the engine again after that. This leaves me in a very dangerous situation since I have no idea when it will happen, and it leaves me stopping at the middle of the road praying that I will not get hit from behind. This is what they said when I sent my car to workshop: First occurrence, they said the CVT software was outdated, so they reinstalled with the updated version Second occurrence, sent to another workshop, technicians said previous workshop didn't do the 'adaptation' process after installing new software, so they did it Third occurrence (happenned on the same day after I got my car back), I looked online and found someone having experienced this before, what he did was to change the positioning switch. I went to the same workshop the next day asking them to change the positioning switch, they did so. Forth occurrence, it happenned again just now. What should I do next? Does this happen to anyone of you? Is this due to gearbox? |

QUOTE(dares @ Apr 4 2015, 07:46 PM) Just out of curiousity: How old is your car? how old is your battery? and have you done any mods to your car? Almost one year. No mod. Just so frustrating that they can't diagnose the root cause after so many times, if they still insist there is nothing wrong to the car I don't know what else I can do... |
