black and white are colours

today do the free recall on rear bearing. apparently my wheel cylinder spoilt also. need to change for the cost of RM27.30. i also dunno that it's spoilt and i drove like noone cares, just selamber until i bring my car to SC for the change. i dunno what's the sympton of it being spoilt.hmmm
but tomorrow will change to new set of ignition coil. as a result of the so heavily rain weather nowadays...

how old is ur car?

Why raining thn must change ignition coil?

maybe his one masuk air haha

2 years oledi but low mileage. just clocked 34k only

one of the connector got moisture inside. when took out the connector, can see the brownish mark like there's water inside
so now, when driving, the engine stutter badly but still can move la. since today no stock for the coil, so has to wait for tmrw. SC ppl said the car can still move safely and wont jeopardise the engine. is it true? coz i really need to use the car to go to work tmrw. the next day then only i'll bring the car to change for a new set.

should be no problem , just make sure the part is dry

ic. i already changed to blue colour. they assured me that it is 2008 stock.
currently waiting for the car to come.

is your car still under warranty - it's the classic problem...the coil is actually fine - there's leakage at the end of the connector boot nia, so keep the oldcoil if you have it changed to new one...

If they forced expensive replacemnt down your throat - you can opt for cheaper option..refer to Airline at garage sales, RM260 for Bosch old design or RM500++ new design(RM250 for coil + RM250 cable) - I hope any owners out there who is using the new design coil set can share with us, just take a savvy spark plug and try with aftermarket plug cables for other cars - looks similar cost about RM100 niah for performance plug cable.


This is the new design - probably local sourced - more durable with thicker sillicone or rubber connector boot.



Old design - plug cables permanently attached to the coil pack.


Even savvy Taiwan spec is using performance cables cos seems thicker...delicious blue cables.




if your car's warranty over liao, total damage to ur pocket is only less than RM10 if you salvage old plug cables from bengkel (mine is using hyundai ) hehe if you mod the connector. Use non screw in type plug cables. Cut the cable and fit in the replacement.

Replacement hyundai spark plug cables.




Cause of the problem


I even removed the metal connector to ensure the spark won't go/arc sideway - only come from the end of the cable...but this will not grip on spark plug heads..the metal connector's function is to grip on the plug head...just make sure the cable touching the spark plug head....working fine for more than 40k km liao....only at 100 000 km I will change the coil set.








New owners shouldn't be worry - 2008 - they are using new design liao with cables/connectors that can be separated from the coil...we're using direct ignition btw with pre-determined firing, no distributor in between - if problems at the cables - just change the cables only.

My 3rd n 4th is modded (renault sequence is 1-2 from right to left) - usually 4th is the source of the problem.

Added on November 19, 2008, 4:22 amRead my account ..when my whole engine was flooded with water cos gone too fast on a flooded road (never slow down) ..craxy .. 4 of the spark plug holes were filled with water to the brim (dirty flood water somemore)..

Never like ..luckily the electronics were not shorted..never loved the car so much like before after the incident and it's sure a water proof engine...water tend to enter thru the timing side although got bottom splash guards...ECU, fusebox are protected by the gearbox..

wow nice explanation with nice pic lol , all the best for all savvy users i gotta get some sleep now

Wow... how did u know all these?

ZzZzzz.

my fuel cap arrive edy. but smhow that sc suddenly refuse to do the paint job for me.

they will only agreed to fix it to my savvy.

forgot to ask them right now new fuel cap come in what color. but they inform me no color at all. didnt even mention its black. i think there's no paint at all. metal only.

any ideas? as i am going to that sc tomorow or friday. haih~

guys..
what the different between old savvy and new savvy (facelift)??
when i look at the old savvy, like got somthing wrong with it..
had proton done any changes with the design?

r u serius?

of cos la. got changes with the design. look carefully at the rear. no more waja peak for facelift.

Ya lo... no more V nose and butt...

thx for the detail explaination...but i guess i'm not that DIY type...hahaha...even TDC cleaning also need to bring to kedai. lol
btw, my warranty's over alredi according to the service book.hmm
actually before i went to SC, i did servicing at RS auto on the same day in the morning and complained about the stuttering engine problem. They were the one who detect the coil broken rosak 1st. RS auto also has ignition coil for the price of rm380 but they say it's not ori. So i postpone 1st and brought back the car home, after i did the engine oil change there la (now,trying 10w30 Amsoil )

death , the metal in black i think its with anti rust coating , try to get it respray at some shop , should be cheap i think

Hows the Amsoil ATM 10W/30? Feels good eh? Now on nearly 40k km on this (third time drain change)...plan to extend another 5km to 15k km before 4th drain with 3 oil filter change.

For the fuel cap - i've seen savvy with those Brother type R cap chrome colour - should be cheap - no need to paint.

I think should be called fuel lid. the cap is the plastic cap inside one.

yeah the correct term is fuel lid

ya. the black color is called primer i think. the function is to increase the paint bonding between paint and metal.
