So I have this issue and has been bitching about it ever since:



Proton has yet to have an answer & I am determined to find out the root cause. I went to a car workshop & let them test drive. They heard this problem & they themselves have not hear something like this before. But they said its highly likely the suspension or stabilizer link problem. But still not sure.


Any way when they lift my car up, the right side spring looks like this:



The rear:



Looking at this looks like the spring not in place. Can this be the issue? A year ago I claimed warranty for my right side strut top mount which required the entire suspension assembly removed. I can't remember whether my this issue occur before or after he replaced the top mount.



The left side spring looks fitted nicely:




My first and last proton for sure . But I'll keep loving this one as it's my first.

This is why I avoid suggesting first-batch of all-new cars.

Looks like it's not seated properly.

u tak claim new front coil la brader, my fren vvt issue already solved at cose

Sorry, I LOL-ed at your video

REALLY AH???!!! THIS IS ENLIGHTENING NEWS!! Did he have similar issue with me? I'm visiting Proton CoSE next week. Fingers crossed.

Don't la so bad. I hurting albeit liau since new myvi out. 1 year too late

Yes, learnt my lesson. In the future if buy new car i won't buy first batch

If really is, fuck the technician that did my top mount absorber before. Incompetent ^@$#&#^%!!!

Update from recent service. Proton Cose said absorber and everything is OK. All proton saga from blm, flx, and this new one have this sound. This sound is normal due to hydraulic power steering.

Whether they telling truth or not I don't know. I give up and will accept it as it is. 8 years to go.

sound appear when cornering? im driving saga flx and doesnt have this issue

Fuck it. 3 times go, 3 times waste time. Have to live with it. I still canot brain their explanation but what do I know.

My previous FLX didn't have such sound.

try diff SC if possible bro.. not all mechs in SC are competent..

Maybe I'll try senaxis SC. Heard they are pretty good. But I went Proton COSE which should be the best. Haiz no mood liau.

They told me ALL sagas have this. Say like that win liau lor.

They are best of the problem is obvious. If hard to diagnose they will try to push it away with some BS like what they told you below.

They kept my car for one week to try to diagnose a water leak. After one week they told me they couldn't find the source, and send me along while my car kept on leaking whenever it rains heavily.

In the end I found the leak myself and sent it to PESC in Puchong to fix it, which took less than a day.

COSE is too busy to deal with complicated, hard to diagnose problems nowadays. I would just send to another SC and ask for a second opinion.

In your case, Just send to a trusted workshop and ask the mechanic whether the spring is seated properly. If they say no, then send it back to Proton and ask them to reinstall it properly.

Exactly the same noise as my Polo Sedan! Especially obvious when going those uneven incline decline road to shopping mall...

Your polo sedan use hydraulic power steering ah?

Nope, it's EPS.

have you complained or try to solve it? any solution or explanation from your SC?

Wait until more serious first, these few months already sent car overnight a few occasion for different issue. Few days just collected back the car after 1 week at SC due to driver side carpet wet.

I have the same issue. The knocking/rattling sound came from tyre which (I suppose came from spring) happens during cornering on an uneven road. Yes, only on an uneven road.

Yea i think so too. Next time go Senaxis SC try

So I discover a new sound. It came I think from the same place that I mentioned earlier. But surprisingly this one happen on highway even at speed of 100km/h.

Here’s the video. Sound just like at the 9 sec.

Hmm it does sound albeit like my problem but not repetitive fast enough. Damn saga

#&$^*&$#^*#$^*#$^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMETHING NEW TODAY!!!!!! I think this is suspension spring pop!!!! whole family shock



*ignore our conversations lol

OMG! What just happened?! Did you check underneath? Post a photo perhaps. I think our problem is the same but during slow drive I noticed yours one sound a bit loud.

ikr. everyone in car was like wtf happenned. i dont think it hit under carriage though. tomoro going to outside workshop to jack up car and check under carriage. if hit the bump sure will have scars since its so f**king LOUD.

tomoro while checking can take picture. But it pretty much sounded like the suspension spring adjusting itself. Maybe bad positioning when the proton technician changed my 2 bump stoppers before where he needed to dissemble fully the suspension system.

Also i can't repeat this sound again going through this bump. lucky my dashcam is working with sound recording on.

also i go through this bump almost everyday in the past year and this is the first.

if im not wrong, most probably is the absorber mounting/bearing

my civic fd used to have that sound, turned out to be torn off rubber on the mounting/bearing.

good luck ts!

Give me update on your car. It might help my car as well
