Hi
Pls check boot
The spanar. Tools can cause noise

Also during first service tell them proton

Also check rear number plate
It rattle if sticker not strong
Mine noise was rear number plate holder
*
Another thing is, how can we do inspection ourselves when the car is not moving? Sometimes I also afraid to touch here and there when we do not know where actually go wrong... Hehe biggrin.gif

Is it sound like 'ke tek ke tek' follow by air con compressor sound ? They sc also dont know what is it, lmao

Another possibility is the suspension problem, famous issue for this saga vvt. Need tighten somewhere
*
This morning I did a hard or full turn my tire to the left when I want to perform a reverse parking. As the car move slowly, I heard a sound coming from front passenger's side. I think it was a suspension from my left tire but I'm not sure. The car is only two days old, man. cry.gif

List of issues with mine so far with "possible" solutions..

1. Gearbox pvc leather cover got hole
    - SC have already ordered but not yet received since the last 4 months.

2. Small dent on rear left side of car
    - not noticeable unless you really look and search for it
    - did not complain to SC about this as god knows how long my car will be kept there to replace the rear boot panel.

3. Rear seat backrest latch problem after un-latching.
    - causing rattle sound
    - right latch cannot be re-latched. left side have to slam my rear backrest into position to lock.
    - SC ordered right side latch only since 1 month ago.

4. Steering wheel alignment off center.
    - meaning for my car to move straight the steering wheel must be turned slightly counter clockwise.
    - SC said can't help me with this as I've changed my stock rims but this issue existed before I changed them.
    - Have to do outside shop alignment then. Hopefully it will fix it but some say that this is one of a known plague of proton whereby the steering rack bush got issue.

5. Rattle noise like "stones in a glass jar vibrating" when going over uneven surfaces coming out from my glovebox area.
    - Highly likely is the latch and striker causing this sound as when I drive with glovebox opened, this issue is non-existed.
    - temporary solution is to tape the striker to reduce the sound but sound still exists (less often)
    - SC have no solution for this and also followed my method.

6. Absorber thump thump sound when going over bumps.
    - Very audible when driving without radio on.
    - Both front absorbers
    - SC have checked it twice (added some lubricant to the absorbers) but problem still persists. 3rd time go SC will request them to change both.

7. Highly likely drive shaft axle has gone bad
    - I'm really disappointed with this.
    - Refer to https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4180043
    - SC already confirmed drive shaft issue and order right side driveshaft. But I am having this issue when I turn left or right over bumps/sudden change in floor level.

8. Really poor performance & response when driving under 2k rpm.
    - this is when the engine is at operating temperature. When my engine is cold, performance is good and snappy most of the time (I'm not really sure is this all the time or not). Could be due to ecu pump rich a/f ratio during cold.
    - Also when driving at low speed and moderate rpm, when the aircon compressor kicks in, can definitely feel  my rpm dropped and a braking force exerted to my cars engine. In other words it sorts of jerked. In a manual...
    - Also, sometimes when shifting back to neutral and braking towards a stop. rpm stays at 1.5k and later on drops. refering to this (persoan vvt group)    https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4011234/+1540  , could be due to faulty brake stop switch. Will check with SC on my 3rd problems trip there.

9. Metal rattling sound coming from engine bay when engine is under load or at a hill and warmed up below 2k rpm (could be during cold but mostly during warm).
    - Sample similar sound here at around 00:10s (sry duno embed)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCbi3FnuhTM...rLLRr-Q&index=1 
    - At first really worried as this might be pinging or pre-detonation sound coming from within my engines combustion chamber as in the short/long run will cause serious damage to my engine. I've researched that this is a common issue with campro engines especially during gen2 era (No one has a solid solution for this yet).
    - could be due to engine too hot and the mixture detonated before piston reaches top dead center. could be knock sensor problem. could be ron95 not compatible. could be bad cooling system. could be ecu problem. really lost here...

    - However from the video sample shown with similar sound, his solution was actually looking into the exhaust heat shield that was found to be loose. Thus this could be whats causing the issue. During my next trip to SC I will have them check this out also...
    - PLEASE BE EXHAUST HEAT SHIELD ISSUE...

---------------------------------------- End of issues currently with my Saga VVT manual 2016-------------------------------------------------------------

I will get myself an obd2 scanner as well for myself to diagnose my car to check if everything is supposed to be running as it should.

Again, car drives great but this issues (especially issue 7,8,9) must be solved asap before it gives birth to other issues. I guess in my case, its true that when u buy a proton u learn more about ur car and will have regular visits to the SC....

I am still keeping my calm as the car is still drive-able and not staying in SC emergency ward overnight....

Problem no 6 has just started but only notice it after a long drive. Should I ask SC to change for fix it first?

Was it ok guys? the foremen install chamber nut on the left side, before it was -1.6, now my steering feel tend to the left side, but not so noticeable, total damage rm45

[attachmentid=9250717]

My steering always to the left since I got my saga. I send it back to dealer to fix it (with charges since mileage already reach more than 1k) but the problem still there. If want to drive straight, I need to steer to right a bit. I pay about the same as yours.

I'm thinking if anyone has this problem fixed? I need help, its hard dealing with my OCD cry.gif

Up to you. Under warranty just claim la. Lose only time sad.gif

Went to check at dealer where I bought. Pomen said the problem is with the absorber and acknowledged by Proton thus it covers under warranty. He added that my production batch are affected. So spread the words if your friends are having the same issue, they might get it fixed for free. rclxms.gif

Nice. Maybe that'll solve my front end knocking issue. Mind sharing your service receipt?

Also which sc is it? And the person that mention it?
*
I need to find back the receipt. The person name I don’t remember. I went to rahman brothers shah alam. Try ask them if they want to check your car first and let them test your car and see how it goes. Just be ready maybe you might need to leave your car for a day like mine was.

I asked my dad to send my car to service. He took back only receipt with payment for my alignment. I check my warranty book also not written anything other than my scheduled service.

I need to call them ask for my receipt. Its warranty issue I don’t think they will take it lightly. I will update later

woopex,

any update on the receipt ?

Hi. The thing they’ve change under the warranty is damper absorber. Now my absorber don’t have any weird sound anymore. I haven’t got the receipt yet. I just call them. Hope this will help. Thanks.

The stock tyre u get is Silverstone tyre which is basically rubbish in both dry & wet

Tested again going downhill and halfway through off engine and exit the downhill bend. No rattle noise even though this time more aggressive.

I can safely conclude that it is indeed as the Proton guy at Cose said, that it is due to the hydraulic power steering system.

Both happy and sad as I now know the cause of it for sure and have to live with it. smile.gif sad.gif

Haven’t yet tested mine both on and off engine. But it does rattle when turning on an uneven road. Well I’m guessing that I have to deal with it as well lah. Sigh

anyone spotted silver premium model before? it seems like silver premium is really rare, i always seen red premiums.

Got to think of it, I kinda regret not taking the silver premium when it was available. Dealer said grey out of stock then I said its ok I wait. I was so eager to get grey ones but then I saw A LOT of grey on the road. Damn son.

What i do is:

1.  Release brake pedal
2. Let the car move a little bit
3. Press gas pedal

Always working to reduce pickup lag. Maybe the gear (cvt) using same kind of clutch technology.
*
From what I learn, let the car move a bit then press the pedal is just how CVT works

My rattling sound came from the rear. Something like "trrr trrr" sound even before engine start, just when I shut the door.

Once I went and check myself, it somehow came from above the boot, just under the hook area behind the back seat. Idk lah. Pening d.

Hi guys. I got rattling sound when I pick up at 80km/h or sometimes 100km/h. When I put my foot down to maintain at 80km/h the sound is still there for quite some time until I push harder to 90km/h and the sound fades.

Who else facing same issue?
