whuaa? u buy new one aa? i tot can just clean the sensor? much cheaper that way. unless ur tdc sensor broken.

^sorry to hear.. RSauto give me tdc price approx rm100++ include installation.. pity u pancung by the SC guys..

Want to ask. Anyone of you here have the 2 + 3 years(extended warranty)? I bought the extended warranty when i bought my Savvy. So far, i think the sensor replaced 1 time (previously, 2nd and 3rd gear jerking). So is the sensor covered under extended warranty? Any ideas?

This seems like regularly rosak one...

My Savvy is now 1 year +, btw.

should be la. huhu. so no worries aite?

no warranty better send to rs auto la.

Anybody knows how to remove the back proton logo? My fren's 4yrs old Savvy's logo already discoloured/washed out and he wants to replace it with newer -- probably the black and silver -- version.

Is the original just a sticker or screwed to the bonnet?

Replace with this logo lah...

wow... so expensive... new type 1? cleaning it should be enuff... it's just dirty, if i'm not mistaken
anyway, mine is going to service next friday... gonna complain about jerking problem, and hope they chg the tdc for me... do we hv to tell them to chg it? i'm going to proton CoE btw...

just stick a carbon fiber sticker on it... looks cool if it's a black car... seen it on a neo

maybe this one more cool looking..



stick with carbon fibre stiker? hurm..

yep it's the new type one which prevents water from getting inside the tdc sensor area. btw actually b4 dis i had been going to rsauto back and forth few times already. they did many things with the tdc...modify the wire, solder the wire, replace wire and so on. but the prob still persist. and this finally made me to go to proton sc once and for all.

Same here bro...always got problem with my savvy. Some more when you go to repair shop the mechanic always tell me why you go buy this car...until sometimes i so malu. But the AMT system really bothers me especially the amber lights coming up, the tdc sensor, and the jerking problem, sometimes fetch people they say wah 2 year old car like that already. Anyway for all those people who wants to buy the Savvy think twice, my personal opinion is there will be faulty problems with the AMT system which Proton doesn't even care to solve. Secondly you will be speding more $$$ in repairing the car, even though 5 years warranty seems like a good deal but then u have to think of beyond 5 years. I did check with the sales center although they mentioned newer savvy has better AMT system however how true that is, is yet to be confirmed. Anyway my savvy is SOLD. Happy to get rid of this car.

If it's manual, is it alright?

well.. its depend.. some said how the car react on how u use it..

take care = less problem.. if always abuse the amt n only service (change oil) didnt do anything else = yes u will throw all your money away for repair.. yes this car need fully caring.. all the sensor sensitive.. you must check n service all the sensor every 10000km.. add the amt system should be inspect every 40000km (unofficial SC staff recommendation)..


just solve my problem.. its not the starter, just an add-on relay kaput.. change it n my car start like a charm.. only cost rm30.. glad i go to RSauto before buying starter..

couldnt agree more!

luckily its just the relay. i had the same problem with my 12 year old iswara last time. some mechanic just advise me to go for recond starter motor. then i found one honest one who just added a relay for me. rm10 settle the problem. sommore teach me how to 'hotwire' to start my car in case everything fails.

I once oso fed up this car la .
standstill 1st gear ,
to 2nd gear.
slow,and the huge sound really killing me.
but after change muffler much smoother.

I really love my car,
an d my imitation r3 spoiler really complete the butt.
with a special number .

I m proud of it .

but due to the instalment i gt headache,
wat a relieve if i one time seettle the car instalment lol.

i barely can save any money without working shift.

but once i eat her , i must responsible.

I really like the Renault logo. You guys know where can buy one (a real emblem logo, not sticker)? Proton logo is so crappy..

Added on June 26, 2009, 10:21 amThat's why i skipped the AMT version an go for the Manual, eventhough i like the AMT very much. I know the cost and headaches of solving AMT problem will be a nightmare. So far, quite happy with my Savvy. But now i think the suspension is a bit used, last time when go over bumpy road quite steady, but now seems a bit louder/bumpier, but still better than my Myvi. Maybe ask technician to check on coming service.

What do you guys think? How to make the suspension not so bumpy? What do you call this? Hard or soft suspension?

i change to sport spring..okey..lowered..no jumping anymore..

got got... i heard use good renault gear oil... and change it often, even the book didn't say so...
just thru my observations in various forums, i'm mt driver, so didn't reli hv actual experience...

can i see ur spoiler? savvy's rear is really unacceptable without spoiler... from side looks like kura-kura...

try to check the absorber? soften for comfort, harden for 'comfort' going thru cornering~

i tested before, the smell will come if you pump petrol until 6 bars or full tank.
if pump until 5 bars, the smell won't appear.
weird huh. lol
