Guys, need some info here.

Have you guys gone for the Recall already?

The SC (Mutiara Damansara) i went to ask me to wait and wait for my turn.....WTF...how long do i have to wait? I think i need to complain already, said only recall, but no action done for months!!!



Although i'm not too worry about the problem, but it sucks to wait forever with no end in sight. Anyone of you have heard weird noise from your bearings?

A friend of mine, driving Kelisa...said he replaced the bearing thingy 4 times in 3 years...

Help!!

My savvy has rear lights problem (including the 3rd break light) ON ALL THE TIME EVEN WHEN MY CAR IS SWITCH OFF!!!

I've tried turning on and off all lights, restarting the car and even turn a few rounds, but the problem still persist.

What can i do about it?? If not i'll have to leave the lights on the whole night until tmrrw to find someone to fix it!!!

Battery mati-lah.....arrrghhh!!!

H-E-L-P!!!

What brake paddle?? You mean underneath the brake where u step on it? I'm car moron, please give me more details.

TQ.

Thanks man.

I finally found it. It seems like it is dangling in the middle of nowhere underneath there! So i just unplug it for the time being.

It won't affect my breaks right? Just no lights right?

See photo.

No, mine is manual. So no harm right?

Mat rempit deserves to die anyway, but i dun want them to hit my car. It's either no lights or full lights on. Tmrw morning i'll put back on the switch and drive with full lights on. at least people will notice something wrong from behid...thinking i'm driving while pressing the brakes!!

Added on November 13, 2008, 10:20 pmThe switch is fine i think. If i press it, the lights will go off, if left in default position, the lights will be on. Normal right? I think it is just matter of putting it back where it belongs...a job for the mechanic...not me...i fix pc, not cars. LOL.

Just sent my car to a nearby shop to fix it. less than 1 minute kau-tim. Basically that thing is loose and not put in it's correct place. Charge me RM5 only!

I think i already noticed something funny with the rear lights b4 it gets totally weird. This happens after i sent my car for the spindle recall recently.

Must be Proton chekai mechanic didn't do a proper job of putting the switches back in place.

Really, the Mutiara Damansara SC sucks....also the people like looks very lan-si wan...like we owe them money or something. Also many times the SC staff didn't report my complaints down properly. Bunch of jackarse. And MD SC is suppose to be "Platinum SC"...yeah right... Unlike P2 SC (near the Sin Chew Jit Poh roundabout in PJ)...all very friendly staff....

Proton can tok cock about i-Care yadda, but in the end, it's still the same. I dun think i'll be sending my car back to proton after warranty over!!!

Is there any better Proton SC around PJ? Please share!

Not so impressive...urs is new Savvy?

Mine is about 15km/l...Sprint/Litrak....always jam...avg 60km/h to 80km/h.

Maybe u like tekan minyak too much?

PJ City driving, usually SPRINT and sometimes LDP. Savvy Manual. FC=15 km/l.

I would say it's normal. Same or slightly worst than my wife's Myvi (or maybe she's better at saving fuel!)

Definitely the most fuel saving car Proton ever built. Because "CAMPRO NOT INSIDE".

Added on May 13, 2009, 3:04 pmI don't think VIVA is that good at FC. More or less same as Savvy.

But it rides like motorbike...3 cyclinder engine crap.....Savvy is more powerful and handlingwise is legendary.

PS: This is Savvy's thread, so i can bash VIVA as much as i want...

I tested 4 VIVAs (660cc,800cc,1.0manual, 1.0 auto) before deciding to buy a Savvy. So glad i didn't buy that 40k++ motorbike!!!!! It is seriously overpriced piece of junk.

Friend...you, that is wrong way to calculate fuel consumption!!! You can't calculate fuel consumption looking at the bars!

What you should do is:
(1) Pump to full

(2) Reset trip meter to 0.

(3) Use your car to X Km (say 250Km).

(4) Go back to the SAME PETROL STATION AND SAME PUMP to pump to full. Jot down the litre pumped.

Now, you fuel consumption is X Km (in this example 250km) / the litre you pumped in (4)= km/l used.

My savvy is usually 14km/l to 15km/l, mostly around SPRINT/LDP.

I'm going for 20K service for my Savvy soon. What's the estimated damages??

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.

Replace with this logo lah...

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?

yeah me too...oversteer a bit...i think the car slide a bit, luckily was going very slow, just inside building compound, not ou on the road yet.....raining better not try stunts...i think i treat my Savvy too much like a Go-Cart...LOL.

---

Added on June 30, 2009, 9:57 amNope. Never heard any 'tuk tuk sound" on my Savvy. If BLM, 'tak tak sound' is normal..LOL. Better send to SC and check. Could be a bearing problem.

Just a question. Do you guys find ur front tyres cepat botak??

Mine is about 21,000 km (overdue for service, maybe this week i go), but the front tyre's seems quite used compared to the rear.

I thnk my Myvi which clocked over 35,000 km is not so bald (but maybe because the tyre size is different lar.).

Anyway, my alignment seems to run off a bit now, will need to do wheel alignment comes the service.

I'm planning to change the front tyre's to the rear and vice-versa. Do you guys do it at 20,000km???

Actually, it's not safe to buy first hand AMT either.

AMT=Automated Manual Trouble.

I've seen the spare price price list of the AMT last time....can't remember where...but it was around like 20k??? Can't remember, but definitely 5 figure price...i'm not sure if it's true...better not take the risk...or you better ask at Proton and ask them to show u the spare price list for the AMT b4 u buy...nanti kena heart attack.

Like everyone else here already mentioned, the biggest and possibly only major problem with AMT Savvy is the AMT itself.

Other common problems? Power windows? Yeah still there...but not so bad. My Manual Savvy is nearly 2 years old this coming October. So far, no major issue...but it's quite low mileage..only 21K so far.

Some common Savvy problems, which i have encountered are:
Car jerking in low gear - Sensor or throttle body problem. (Mine has sensor replace once or twice).
Stupid seat belt problem (can't pull it after you wear it...sometimes like that, front seats),
Power window - switch replaced once.
Rear right door - cannot close nicely. A lot of savvy has this problem.
Petrol cover - cannot open!!! **&%$ This is really stupid, when your car runs out of fuel and you can't pump petrol! I use a 20 cents coin to flip it open....so always have a 20 cent coin ready somewhere! But it was fixed since the last service @15,000 km and still working fine now.
Rear lights on constantly - this is not common problem...somehow the switch underneath got loosed, no big deal. Just plug it back. (But i can't manage to plug the thing underneath the steering wheel and have to send it to a nearby workshop who charge me RM5 for it...LOL.)

I might be wrong, but i believe the ACTUATOR are the parts for the robotic arms. There's 2 parts from the list above...
RM 8,226.41 + RM 13,918.09=RM 22,144.50

GULP.

Awh85: Maybe you can check with Proton whether this is the AMT robotic arms.

But if you really wanna buy AMT no matter what.....it's better to buy new with 5 years warranty...if you buy 2nd hand AMT, take note the Extended Warranty DOES NOT COVER TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP and only applies for the original owner who bought it. Yeah...i read all the details in my EWP certificate.

What is 'sensor modified'?? Usually you just clean or replace it right?

Yours warranty over already??..oh yeah...i forgot, the ignition coil also quite common...i think i better ask the SC to check it.

So far, i claim all the defects. No need to pay anything.

Hmm...i wonder if the EWP covers the ignition coil... ..must go check again..
