Bros. I found a sound during the test on my friend's FLX. I When turning the steering from end to end, it sounded Cruck Cruck Cruck... Any idea? Btw, turning steering while car in stop position.

Another question, how much to spend for Suspension/Absorbers with the link as well? Macam also got problem. Walau... 😢

Oh, then you can try halfcut shops.

The steering sound could be driveshaft or the knuckle....or totally something else. I can tell you how to check but I think it's better to just send it to a workshop so you can be sure.

Here's a parts price list for the Saga 1.3 FLX exec for your reference. Bear in mind the list is a few years old, so there might be minor price adjustments over the years, and does not include GST or labour

Thanks Bro!
Don't know whether anyone could recommend the trusted halfcut shop?

Wah... Those Proton's parts quite expensive ya? 😁

All FLX Bros. Any idea about the price of Drive Shaft?

According to PDF it us 600++ ori. Third party could be less than half of that.

Ops, forgot about the price list 😅
600+ a pair?

Yes.

No its around RM600 per side.

Wow... Anyone knows about price of third party? Tahan ke?

Bros. How to check the Colour Code? As I know, there is something call "easy touch up paint" in the market. So, wish to check the code and do some touch up on that flx if the car finally good to go.

At the bottom of the driver side B-pillar there is a metallic rectangular plaque that contains the chassis number and engine number. The colour code will also be there.

Oh thanks Bro. How does the Code Looks like?

It's an alphanumeric string, should start with "A" or "AC", followed by 4 or 5 numbers.

try local or taiwan bro.. i bought taiwan set for rm240 last year and works fine until now..

its expensive because of LED bro..

Yo Bro, this really cheap leh! Where did you get it? Yours is FLX version too? Plastic Color never faded?

Got BLM 1.3 manual at home, used to drive fren's 1.6 FLX CVT frequently and a few times driving FLX 1.3 manual SV.

They are all quite sturdy. Minimal vibration or rattles but sound proof is almost close to non. Wind noise is apparent when driving above national speed limit. CVT noise is very loud too.

FLX manual is a much better manual in BLM. Not sure if it is different gear ratio or different tuning on the IAFM module (BLM is IAFM and FLX is IAFM+ if im not mistaken), pickup in FLX manual is stronger. On the same hill BLM need downshift to gear 2 but FLX can just cruise up the hill using gear 3. Translate to smoother drive to me.

FLX's body is stronger too. Less body roll is felt in FLX even with SV 13inch steel rim. Possible is due to the additional bar at the back or revised suspension setup.

FLX SE 1.6 CVT felt the slowest here among 3. Some users like me is hard to get used to the sluggishness and become heavy footed when driving it. My fren the owner can achieve much better mileage with a feather footed driving pattern which I can't tahan LOL.

BLM is more than 7 years old with mileage about 150k? Aircond compressor is dead recently and the radiator is clogged due to rust. It wasn't well taken care and had quite some abuse and harsh driving. To me it is quite tahan lasak.

FLX SV i think around 3 years old, friend feed good oil and taken good care. Still like new with close to no unwanted noise at all. FLX SE CVT also around 3 years old if not mistaken, mounting have some issues but replaceable with few hundred bucks. This friend just treat it normally and always fly over bump but the car still ok LOL. CVT oil is abit more expensive though, overall CVT maintainance is higher.

I was looking for used FLX too previously, the only turn off to me is lack of safety features like ABS EBD. Most of the older cars at home is without these safety features, tired of skidding here and there. So prefer to have better equipped car in the future. And also bored of driving 1.3L car HAHA.

Good luck in getting the saga FLX.
