congrats davidmu. mind take a pic of ur new baby? how does it fit?
also, mind giving me ur old unit?

most new cars already have a 'ping sensor' in the engine. meaning if the fuel is of sub standard, then it will retard the timing to suit it.
for example, most fuel in indonesia are of ron 88. ron 92 and 95 are the high end fuel.

on warranty of HU.. it is possible not to cut any wires. according to accessory shops, they can use the clip method to connect the wires.
but keep in mind, if u short some wires and fries something. dun expect proton to honour warranty on that.

i fully agree. my family's honda is going to die soon because of CVT issue, honda can't do anything to help. most likely will need to change a recond gearbox soon.

True, but the robotic clutch system is many times more expensive to replace than
the actual clutch kit in the manual gearbox in the event of component failure.
This is what every Savvy AMT owner is dreading whenever the AUTO light comes on.
Proton's inability to resolve this problem is not helping to allay this fear, especially
for those out-of-warranty vehicles.

Added on October 2, 2008, 1:44 pmThere is one lady owner from Singapore who posted on savoc.net yesterday regarding the AMT failure
of her two-month old Savvy!

After ignition, she cannot put the car into drive from the 'N' position. Even with the help of some
experienced forummers, she still couldn't manage to engage into drive. I really sympathise with
her since she cannot use her car and has to wait to be towed back to the service centre after the
Raya holidays.

My Savvy AMT is also around two-month+ old and I am feeling really apprehensive about this AMT
problem. So unpredictable. It can happen without warning on both new and out-of-warranty vehicles.

for the timing retarding, it'll also have a minimum threshold as a limit. so some engine especially with high compression have to use at least Ron95 premium fuel....

most of the auto light warning cases are due to wiring faults & not component failure.... FYI Renault is known to have higher electronic failure compared to other brands. Proton did their best to improve the situation and of course....accident still happened. My car is retained at 1st service for 2 week because they detected an impending failure in the AMT system and changed my wirings.

However, while it's not a very serious problem, my car still suffer from AMT jerk & it's almost certain to be caused by the brake switch & "seasonal" AMT light warning & the error shown is something like "wiring earthed/disconnected"....

i took the amt version because i believe some preventive measurement can be done to minimise the risk
1. choose ur car - choose date after june 2008
2. flush the amt oil and change it to renault oil
3. change sparkplug to ribbed ones
4. shrinktube the tdc connector
5. put o-ring to the sparkplug connector
