QUOTE(cy185005 @ Jan 15 2012, 08:56 PM) to anyone who owns a saga fl, i have two issues with my car. 1) my steering horn cover rattles each time i make a turn. 2) the driver door panel also rattles when driving on poor road conditions. i have sent to the proton service outlet twice to get them fixed and all they 'claim' they did was to 'tighten' the screws. it is now better, but both areas still rattle on rare and random occassions. i am disappointed with proton quality and service. my worry is the problem will come back again in future. anyone with similar experience and hopefully can share if there is any success in solving it. SC technicians will only do so much to hunt down rattles. You might have better luck DIY yourself. My brand new FLX also have rattling from the dashboard, driver side window and one of the rear doors. I just ignore them until I can do something about it.

QUOTE(zeone @ Jan 15 2012, 09:22 PM) Most (if not all...) cars "rattle" or hv some noises somewhere or @some time. Even those one pays 2+X the price!! Of course, less of such probs in hi-end/luxury cars...considering wat yu pay for them! Haha! If sounds yu hear are only soft or intermittent & yu can tolerate them, juz accept & mayb turn up yr music vol 1 notch.  If kenot, then yu need 2get yrself sweaty & dirty 2slowly investigate/eliminate probable sources. This no SC ppl hv the patience nor time 2do!! As long as it's not due2 possible/known causes that can lead to risk of life or failure of an important sys....sorry la...  Do try 2enjoy the good points of yr ride...for the reasons yu bought it...  if think of the money paid for something of inferior quality, sure sakit hati. but, this is usually how business operates, and we are only ikan bilis. need to be a lot smarter and learn from experience. meantime, i'll just tolerate and observe. |

When one pays abt RM40k for a car and another who pays 2X that but still got similar probs, we kenot ask for more, rite? Like common saying, we get wat we pay for...so do xpect probs...but feel happy when dun hv lo!!  Anyway noises are juz a temp but tolerable nuisance...true? Try some DIY checking when free...yu'll achieve more than sending to SCs! At same time yu'll get 2kno yr car better... |

Honestly, even if you buy a 500k bmw there will also be problems. That time more butthurt. Bottomline, you need a car, ANY car, be prepare to live with car problems. True for cars from tata to lamborghini.otherwise, just take public transport or bicycle. |

dear sifus, want to ask, my wira the "engine" light at dashboard (the yellow one under the handbrake sign) came on when i halfway driving. bring to the serviceman near my office (cos i dun dare drive long time), he said common problem and just sensor spoil, "biasa lah untuk wira". he can help me mod something to make "timing" better so wont light up anymore, but i declined.
any of u experience it before? i turn off engine and turn on again, it will not light up. but sometimes travel for a while, it will light up again, sometimes no. and i notice if i dun turn on aircon, it will not light up. is it just "timing" and "sensor" issue?

Engine light indicate either one of the sensors have detected abnormal conditions in your engine / gearbox / exhaust, or the sensor itself is faulty. Dont simply drive into a workshop, find one that has the equipment to plug into you ecu and check the error codes, such as proton service centers. That mech you went to obviously has no idea what is wrong, just guessing. |

My new exora bold premium is having very annoying alignment and balancing problem i believe, after 100km the steering vibrate harshly, went into same sc twice in taman century there still not solve. after 80km got wind sounds from the driver side door. once the car bang a rougher road the engine bay will have a grrrr sound for 1 sec like some gear disclocated like that, very annoying. going to a bigger sc in plentong on friday, hopefully they can really fix it for me.

Hi guys.
Im a pround owner of a Persona B-line. Got some problrm with the car. After the 10,000 km service, the engine started to make noise. It’s kind of wind sound (like water boiling sound) when the speed reach 110 km/hour. Not only that, when the vehicle slow down after the ‘high-speed’ run (just to describe this scenario..ahem), the sound can be heard clearly too especially when the vehicle started to move.
Have anyone ssen this kind of problem?? My car also semm to be underpower a lot..
