Hi. I'm an owner of Saga LMST 2007.

My mileage is 76k now, and my colleague advises me to change the timing belt for engine care purpose. What do you think?

So far the car serves me well. No problem for long distance travelling, sayang the car most on fuel saving, although now not really that save liao (RM60 can go for 350km+- only)

Preventive maintenance change... belt only below RM100 I believe, Engine damage/Rebuild cause by belt failing much more costly....

isnt the BMW new? why your cousin still need to pay for those problems?? shouldnt there be like 3 year warranty or sumting>??

I'm a Proton Saga 1.3L Manual owner, car year 2010. Yesterday when im shifting gear when riving on 3rd gear going 4th, i heard a 'Toingggg~' sound coming from my gear shifter, then the shifter feel so lose and it wont position back to the middle again when put in free gear mode~ Suspect the spring inside snap off or maybe bounce off from the position. Anyone experience this before?? How much the cost to fix it?? Performance wise still like normal, just tat not so syok when the thing dun have the springy effect ady..

this one someone throw stone at ur window. no reason for it to crack like tat.. did u manage to claim warranty? i highly doubt it.

Hey guys. I am new here and I am wondering if there's supposed to be sounds when I change gear everytime. I just bought a Proton Saga 1.3L for 3 mths.....its pretty bad "crreaeak..." sound. So wondering what's wrong or if anyone knows?

Hi guys,
A newbie here.
Any recommendations for workshop that provide good service at PJ & Subang side? Need to service my air cond and align my tyres.

Appreciate the help.

Hi all, I have this 99' Iswara aeroback 1.3L. I have problem every time I parked the car for many hours (like overnight) there will be a spot of engine oil. The spot will be around under the timing belt, and dipstick area. Which part got leaked eh?Every 2 days gotta topup the EO.

can wira 1.3 use persona absorber and spring??? any sifu please help.... icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

guys.. need your help. i have probelm with my proton waja 1.6 auto mitsubishi engine. here is the story:

my car vibrate when i push the fuel paddle more than 80km/h. but when continue push the fuel paddle and engage the "N" gear, the engine ramps ok without any vibration.

dont mistake me, its not the balancing problem because already do balancing, and on wheel balancing..run at speed from 0 -120km/h while the front tyre hanging in the air, but no problem.

some solution already taken:
1. change engine mounting - yeas i observe wear and tear at the mounting and yes the engine vibrate before i change the mounting

2. right drive shaft also have been change since during on wheel balancing.. can be seen that driver drive shaft is 'gelong'

3. earlier there is one spark plug coil nearly putus.. so already change them

But my car still shaking when i drove more than 80km/h.. its shaking like when u have the shopping mall trolley that the both front whell is not rolling steadily it will shake while u are pushing them..

its something like that..

i also notice some sound from the left front side of the tyre when i hits bumps or rocks.. is this shaking /vibration due to my absorber??? yes i havent change my absorber until now (130 000 km).. what worries me if i am changing the absorber it will not solve this problem.

please advice..

Can claim warranty at Proton SC.

Just explain to them

Dear all professional sifu here,

I'm driving a Satria 1.3M year 2001 fuel injection model. MMC ECU.

Recently when I changing my gear from N -> 1st gear, there is a strange coming from the engine side, or maybe gearbox, I don't know.

When I'm about to release the clutch, changing to 1st gear at around 1-1.5K rpm, there is a "grr grr grr" sound, seem like some joint is loose. After going to 2K rpm or higher, the sound gone.

This won't happen on other gear ratio as normally the engine stay at 2K rpm pr higher.

*I ask few workshop, they can't seem to answer me, only tell me that my car is old, that's why got funny sound.

Anyone out there know what is happening, or can recommend me a reliable workshop? I'm in Puchong area.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, ultimately he didn't have to pay for any of them. The brake light issue they were reluctant to replace for free until he threaten to go to the media.


If balancing is done and driveshaft (I think you mean the tie rod) have been replace, I guess the only other thing to check are the absorbers. 130k km is a long way to drive without replacing them.

timing belt oil seal.

Yup. It goes off after a while. This week gonna send the car to SC.

When starting the car, it's normal for the check engine light to lit up for a few seconds, then turns off. If the light remains on after a minute, then something is wrong.

Your case same sa my wira 1.6 auto i changed many times the drive shaft than the problem gone after a week the problem come back again so i will suspect the gearbox who join the drive shaft got problem. I really piss off and time really consume to fix the problem at few workshop until i give up and sold the car.

i would said if u really want to stick with your car the next thing u have to change the gear box but u have to budget out the cost because foreman 100% will not guarantee your problem. Good luck

i think all proton cars have lack of compartments .. for example to keep our petrol reciept, coin holder. arm rest for gen2, satria and etc. and i'm driving a satria neo CPS. the grove compartment is too small compaired to any other cars...

anyone have problem with satria neo cps, does anyone know what is the original weight of satria neo CPS stock rims
