ah sorry, used to call that the timing belt, found out these two are different things.

Not sure about that, but I know the last thing you want is having a slipping belt in car.

Hmmm, maybe the refrigerant level is not optimum? Can send to SC with air con service to ask them check.

I updated early this year, and then the SC called me in October to go for update again, FOC of course

cvt, obviously, 4AT didn't release early this year

4AT should have no problem with TCU, only CVT has the jerking problem. I also was waiting for TCU update, but seems like they stopped supporting for CVT

I need to update this kirik kirik sound issue.

I recently notice the same problem with my engine. The sound didn't go away even after I changed to new canister.

I did some research, it is engine knocking sound. That is due to carbon build up inside our engine, and the easiest way to get your engine filled with carbon is city drive. (I am jamming everyday in penang so I am not surprised)

The symptoms will be, the harder you press the pedal, the louder/more frequent the kirik kirik sound. And if you release fully the pedal, the sound immediately gone. If you seeing these symptoms, that means your car is having knocking issue. Pretty common if your car is more than 2 years in traffic jams.

So how to solve?
Well, obviously is to clean up the carbon. You can try to pump ron97 first since ron97 burn more efficiently and can burn off some carbon inside the engine. (Recommend with caltex since they have techron inside their fuel). I tried ron97 and the symptoms reduced a lot.

Next is, buy carbon cleaner from online, or they call it fuel addictive. I bought Chevron Techron but haven't tried it out, that's the best fuel system cleaner according to online ranking lah. This confirm can clean out all the carbon inside the engine and solve the knocking problem.

thanks for the detailed explanation! Especially about the octane number in fuel part. Guess I still have many to learn

However, for the fuel addictive part, I did some research online and watched a few youtube videos too, ya the ability to clean up the carbon might be minor, but it still can do the job to clean some carbon deposits right? Somemore it is definitely a cheaper alternative than overhauling the whole engine to do a full carbon cleaning. I mean there is no harm trying those addictive/cleaner first, to see if it improves the situation.

For air filter, should we change to K&N filter to ensure a cleaner engine? But I heard it is oil-based which can dirty/clog up the O2 sensor and MAF sensor.

like the guy said, there is nothing we can do to stop carbon build-up, especially when we jam everyday in dirty environment, apart from doing proper maintenance to slow the build-up down.

The only thing I am not sure is whether this minor engine knocking can cause any severe damage to the engine if left unattended.

using CC6, definitely quieter and smoother ride now. My stock tires lasted only 30,000 KM, i think that is pretty bad durability.

didn't know I was driving a nerfed beast all this time

I hate the pump gun also, I always stop pumping after 2nd click to protect the fuel system and EVAP system, then I go start engine it is 1 bar less from full.

Fuckkkkkkkkkk * OCD triggered*

check the proton app to see what is the standard items for 1k service, anything extra that they ask you to do you can just say no.

Did some mod on the accelerator pedal to make it organ style like those Mazda cars.

The effect in traffic jam is smaller but it does improve the comfort. But most of the discomfort from traffic jam comes from the brake, I need to ask the tire shop to help me lower it the next time I do alignment. I know it is for safety they made it high, but it is really tiring my foot.

But for highway drive, the effect is really significant. No more tiredness after long drive.

I want to make it more 90degree but there is a big bump under the accelerator so it is blocking the base plate.

Btw, this one I bought from taobao, I can't find in any local online platforms. And ignore my slipper please hahahaha xD

Sorry for late update, here are the extra images of my installation.

I only cut the third party carpet I installed, the original one still can work with this pedal, it is using the magic tape to stick to the bottom of the carpets. Quite stable.

I am using flat-bottom, no problem with flooring, full throttle no problem


No it can't it has no solid bottom but with a spring. Also I searched for any 3rd party left foot rest, but it requires some existing screws to mount on. Too bad saga doesn't have any available screw to reuse at that area, only the steering rod which I don't think that is a safe thing to do.

why not, I would advice you to change to R15 since you are going to change the rims. But you need to re-calibrate the speedometer

guys wanna ask what is the size of speakers for saga vvt 2016 version? is it front = 6.5'' while back = 4''?

free. But they will find thousands of millions of excuses not to do it.

balancing off, go tire shop do. Not depending on mileage one, it's depend on the road condition u are driving and your driving style

Mileage? Silverstone produces the worst tires I ever seen, I can't believe they still can survive all these years

sorry, I misread your sentence, I thought your tire "botak tepi"

Alignment and balancing is depending on the road condition you are driving. Sorry I am not from Selangor can't recommend you any good tire shop.

Hi guys how to remove the meter cover ah? (Black one)
Not going to open up the meter, just the black part only. There is rattling at the part, I want to open up and put some foams inside.

I only see two screws at the top, after that we just pull it out? I scare I might break something...
