also worth mentioning, a guy in shah alam is also quite experienced in savvy. the last time i checked with him, he got ready stock of the coils, tdc sensor etc.

he is at jalan badminton, near giant stadium shah alam
016 211 3185.

good information there.. easy for me to send my car if got probs. actually facing a prob. my 'monkey' cant think properly. sometimes i press the pedal mu car wont go further. like loss of power and sometimes the gear havent shift to the next gear (usually gear 2 to 3, 3 to 4) even exceed 3k rpm alrdy

wow.. the mechanic show me.. even small problem can lead to catastrophic cases:

case 1 - leaky radiator cause overheat - burnt the gaskets - proton no stock to replace for 1 year sitting at workshop (not his shop)

case 2 - leaky reservior for amt oil. manufacturing fault i think as the crack doesnt seem from force. but the real problem is at the drain plugs at the oilpan ( i think) leak until the amt cant work, cant change gear and the amt light on. just double seal the leak solved the case

i dint know this guy can fix so many thing until i chat with him abt savvy and he start pulling spareparts from under his table to show me

we need more ppl like him to be in proton SC!

i think the base thing to troubleshoot a car is the basics. mechanics use some logic in troubleshooting. and so far this guy fully use this to his advantage. and with some modification skills..no car is too difficult to troubleshoot.

My jerking is not that bad. just it's a bit shaky shake when accelerating lelow 2000rpm. Something like out-of-tuned 130Y..... but stil not that serious...

Restart car then problem solved.

When I doubt SC's comment, they brought me another Savvy which supposedly belongs to The Branch Manager. I'm not convinced & they bring me the i-care car....They're all with this kinda shaky feel like my car but one thing is worse than mine is restart did not solve the problem for those car and the jerk is persistant.....

Well....I'll try to do a TB clean on next service. At this moment I just used a sealant to seal the "suspected" wirings. See if it happens again.

They said Change ECU is pointless as theer's no new revision nor new softwaer to solve the prob.

They also pointed out Valve seat in the engine itself might be a problem as Proton never clean the protective wax on the seat when manufacturing the car. This problem do not occure on newer batch of savvy.

They also said that only frequent user such as sales person or someone lked to travel with his car will noticed that as the problem is very sporadic.

Let's try to ask then clean the TB before other speculation....

btw, how much is Renautech to clean the TB??? Can they read any hidden troublecode? T shaped PDT2000 cannot read hidden code while nre PDT2000Plus used by my Service Daeler can somehow read hidden codes based on my previous experience.

I do not wish to modify the TDC sensor.....coz they're new design....

Also if TDC sensor fault wil have some sort of trouble code right? My previous sensor do have such error + Brake switch error. But this time w/o error....

Does it jerk only when it's below 2000 rpm on 2nd gear?...if it is then it's the TDC sensor bring dirty...try to clean it yourself with the guide I posted on first page and clean the connector and ECU also..

My dealer will clean the TB for me tomorrow.

According to his statement, the TDC sensor and all other engine sensor reading is within spec even when driving....

So let's see if he's assumption is true...

My car's an AMT.... i dare not do it myself given that I seen how messy it is when dealing with TDC sensor beside the pump

sorry interrupting u guys..

my AMT savvy gonna be 10K anytime soon. just wondering, what its kindda like for 10K service ? any major replacement that cause major RM$?

thanks

reporting from bangkok. 1 savvy spotted at langsuan road

no interrupt, interupt request to make this thread hot is most welcome..

10k just a minor service, oil and filter change.

savvy in thailand..

Added on September 6, 2008, 11:59 amahh hard to start can be caused by dirty throttle body also...

if you take out the TB and see the butterfly valve gap, it's very small...and this small gap throttles the engine at constant 2000 RPM if you install back the TB without hooking up the wire connector (since ours is throttle by wire type)!..so dirt, gunk, carbon could affect the starting, and idling... at usual idling 900 (hot), 1200 (cold) - the valve will close the already small gap further - that's why must clean TB at times.

pardon me for interrupting... does anyone know about proton's 3 days balik kampung deal?

ya i was looking to change my car recently and once this advert is on quickly i've contact the proton edar sales person in glenmarie. i booked my Savvy today with a 7k discount, however its a 07' model. Hopefully they got stock on this and could deliver before raya as according to the advertistment.

still got 07 stock??? unregistered ones??? wow

ic.. looking for savvy to. missed last time bodykit and fuel coupon promotion. proton still have savvy 2007 model eh?

bout this im not sure. but according to my colleague he always pass by tanjung malim. and he say da savvy berlambak stock there. saying savvy no one buy crap car

My SD don wanna do so coz they hv to charge me for the cleaning initially..... I'm not going back to the SD for sure.

It looks promising now, but one thing funny is it cannot start initially after the TB is cleaned... only full throttle start works at that initial start.

im not experience in this. but for the 1st few xxx km i should go to the proton service center rite? after how many km or how many years ony i can find outside mechanic? and for spare parts and so on, izzit easy to find for savvy now days. really wanna drive dis savvy for a long long time. afraid it wouldnt last as long as my 10 years old kancil

Wanted to get Myvi initially but it seems kinda expensive. As for Viva it seems over priced. da metals like so fragile.

already go to proton dealership to book one savvy... salesman said savvy 2007 already out of stock.. but he'll try to double check.

i confuse which one is 07 model? is it the same look as the first model? i mean the one that look like waja front from the back? if that one then i might want to get new model instead.

zurggie u booked to? u went to dealer or u went to branch?
