hi guys just wanna get some info since im not a car guy. I got Saga flx SV manual in end of 2013 and now it is about 80 000 km in mileage.

So far i've replaced the battery and do normal service(engine oil/oil filter change) every 5k to 7k.

But after some more reading i find out that there are things that i need to change but i didnt.

The car works but produce several noises which i have no idea what cause it. So here i make list of things that i should change immediately to prevent breakdown.

1) Spark Plug ( I change once when my car is around 40k)
2) Timing Belt & FEAD? (no idea what FEAD is)
3) Fuel Filter
4) Brake Fluid
5) Power Steering Fluid
6) Radiator Coolant
7) Aircond Belt + air cond compressor oil?
8) Alternator Belt

What is the price range for all this and am i missing something that could cause my car to breakdown. Pls advice

Yes, definitely. The Bosch part number is: 0 986 AB1 031

Are you gonna buy it? It seems pretty expensive in my opinion.

But after some more reading i find out that there are things that i need to change but i didnt.

The car works but produce several noises which i have no idea what cause it. So here i make list of things that i should change immediately to prevent breakdown.

1) Spark Plug ( I change once when my car is around 40k)
If normal plugs then they're about due for renewal.
2) Timing Belt & FEAD? (no idea what FEAD is)
I think FEAD is the alternator etc sepentine belt you mention later, I'd just inspect it for cracks and missing bits and if half decent then just leave it for about another 10,000 km and change it together with the timing belt which would be due at 90,000 km. Whatever you do don't avoid or delay changing the timing belt as its breakage will cause catastrophic engine damage.
3) Fuel Filter
It's overdue but not an item to panic about, if your car runs like crap at higher speeds or climbing a long hill then it's a sign it's clogging, otherwise don't lose sleep over it.
4) Brake Fluid
Yes it's due and a good idea to change it, but you could sit on your hands a bit longer and sort the more vital stuff.
5) Power Steering Fluid
Same as brake fluid.
6) Radiator Coolant
Definitely do this, make sure you don't mix types which are usually identified by colour, if you mix red with green a jihad will occur in your cooling system, coolant is important don't defer changes.
7) Aircond Belt + air cond compressor oil?
I don't think A/C oil has ever been changed in any Aussie car system unless a major repair is done, all systems here are ignored until failure. The belt is the FEAD belt mentioned before.
8) Alternator Belt
FEAD belt again. Breakage doesn't cause immediate catastrophic damage but will quickly lead to overheating, however your dash will light immediately upon it snapping so you'll have time to stop. In 40+ years of driving I've never had a belt failure so I don't regard them as a panic item, but inspection is your friend, if they look awful then change them.

What is the price range for all this and am i missing something that could cause my car to breakdown. Pls advice

The bosch part is OEM, so it makes the same amount of dust. Expect to see more dust with the Bendix metal king. Try finding ceramic ones.

Sorry for the confusion. It's actually a "door lock actuator". I call it "door lock gun" because it looks like a gun, and sorry for the upcoming long story 😁

Car usually locks (the door actuator locks the door) when you arm the alarm but sometime it doesnt (you press the lock button but the actuator doesnt lock the door but the alarm is armed). This happens to me when i left the key at the acc position after reaching home after work (radio still on) in the evening. At night when i remembered the key is still in the car, switched everything off and press the lock button, some door didnt actuate fully ( probably not enough voltage to actuate)

Personal experience...don't try bendix alot of metals within the brake pad....bosch not so good

I recommend TRW....performance brand

This seller provides free installation at:-
1) Brake Pad Front [DTEC] - RM140 (Ceramic brake pad less dust but expensive)
2) Brake Pad Front - RM90 (Normal brake pad)

Is your car still under warranty?

1) Depending on what spark plug you use...got 20,000km 40,000km or 100,000km
2) 100,000km but recommend to change at 80,000km
3) 60,000km if not mistaken....
4) 2 years or 40,000km or when it turn from Gold/Yellow colour to black
5) When colour is black...or 40,000km
6) Major service at each 40,000km or 60,000km
7) Until it spoilt i guess....
8) Until it spoilt i guess....
9) Manual Gear Oil not inside your list.....every 40,000km

been driving a saga flx since 4 years ago. lately dont know why the CVT light keeps coming on. Usually happens when i go home from office. 2 days in row already but the car still working fine. Anyone experience such situation before? the CVT light will go on when I go into D or R ..then after I drive a few minutes ..the light will go off again.

Along the way back home, the CVT light will turn on and off a few times again. Kinda worried.

nope ..everything is working fine. RPM there also fine.

Got few times when i start my car, it feels like the engine not fully started. Drag a bit the engine before start. Then the RPM will shot up until 4000 or 5000 before coming back down. Engine vroom vroom like no tomolo. But that time the CVT light never turn on.

NOPE. i never use the SAT. i usually stick with the CVT. Kinda like the smoothness of the drive. The jerking feelings when your car start moving when you press the pedal, can actually be nullify while u get used to the timing and feel when u press down on your oil pedal.
