Migod version six. And it's just about PSaga LOL.

Ok no offense.

Hey guys I wonder if you're aware about this. I was told that the battery's a "dry battery" by the lovely salesman. BUT later on I discovered that on top of the battery the sticker's actually COVERING the inlet so that you can ADD WATER in. I was like, wtf why the heck is it called DRY battery again?? I asked a friend of mine to clarify things and he said that if it's really a "dry" battery there should be no inlet at all but some LED indicator light.

I hope someone can clarify this for me. Thanks..

hahaha ... some people prefer auto lock ma ...
have benefit also !

I always left the keys in my car when I'm getting out stuff from the boot or back seat so auto lock's definitely a disaster for me lol..

Btw, wanna ask here, what should I do during the first service (and the subsequent ones)?

Should I stand there and see what they do to my car??

One of my relatives got charged for changing a component, then later when he check, it turns out that the component was not changed at all!! He can tell because he made a unique mark on every components in the car. The proton service center just simply charged him for nothing!!

That's why now I'm very cautious and wanna ask for advice around here..

Wanna ask.. the service is performed once it's 1000km, 5000km and 10000km right, is the months of usage one of the conditions applied? I mean, do they have this "1st service is at 1000km OR 1 month, whichever comes first" thing applied on BLM?? I tried to look for this in the service booklet but it seems like only the distance travellied is the only parameter used to determined when you should go for a service..

Thanks in advance.

good suggestion. need to get an mp3 player 1st. killed my old ipod's hard disk after a fall last year. most likely gonna buy cds in bulk, burn em and put cd case in the car. got lots more places to put stuff compared to iswara. lol. cant wait for breakin period to finish. just now almost revved til 4k rpm. lol. used to driving a manual, now drive auto+drive by wire, harder to modulate throttle.

Uhh, you don't really have to buy cds in bulk if you use CDRW. That's what I do =)

another important factor is i m quite heavy foot... laugh.gif  rclxm9.gif

Any specific figures to support what u mean by "heavy foot"? Hehe, cuz the definition might be different for everyone right. Besides your record's very pretty (the rm30 for 240+km record I mean).

hi all,i got a problem here,i found that my car hard to reach to 120km/h unless i press hard...even in a long highway road...if i jus press slowly then it will reach 100km/h then stop...is it normal ?? some of ur sound like easy to go 120km/h
*
QUOTE(lowyatman07 @ Jan 25 2009, 03:23 AM)
i mean that i just press the pedal with a light foot...but the spped will go up slowly from 60-100km/h...but if i wan faster than that speed,need to press harder,sumtime quite hard...only can reach 120km/h...my meter is 3k+ during 100km/h


Same here. Mine's auto. Urs is auto or manual?

QUOTE(lowyatman07 @ Jan 25 2009, 03:23 AM)
do u press the pedal vr hard to reach 140km/h ??u get 140km/h in a vr long n free highway ?? i think my campro engine will scream with that speed...
*
I don't have a chance to get to 140 due to light traffic in the highway. I need a 3am highway to try it to 140 cuz darling blm's kinda slow ^^ll

But I did tried to get to 140 by nearly flooring the accelerator when I was at 100. Engine screamed like mad, but the speedometer's going nowhere up. Then I had to slow down already due to a c2pid myvi blocking my way in front.

maybe your car's allignment gone abit?...or tyre pressure not enough
QUOTE(heavencloud @ Feb 2 2009, 07:53 PM)
something wrong with your alignment or tyre balancing i guess coz i also dont have that problem.

QUOTE(flying-liao @ Feb 2 2009, 08:21 PM)
usually is the tyre problem,1st check the tyre balancing, then see any tyre swollen up,i exp b4, 2months old
new tyres get swollen up.ur car so new ,send back to sc better.
*
Thanks Mr Alien, heavencloud and flying-liao for the problem pinpointing. Actually my car's not that new, about 3 months old, and I haven't go for the first service yet aikz I know I should but it's really too hectic... took my car to first sc during CNY week thursday... called them beforehand, they said no prob, then when I went they told me the related technicians to my other problems are all on holiday. Sweeet. Waste of petrol. Only a few days after that I found out about the steering shuddering problem...

QUOTE(loong2020 @ Feb 2 2009, 08:40 PM)
my persona same as ur problem..done "on wheel balancing"...then on the road time, the steering shudder again....try swapping with back tyres...even worst... rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif ..in fact, i had went to 4 different shops to do on wheel...

just today..i went and do "on wheel again"..the mechanic also pening d...

check the rims=no dent
on wheel balancing= done perfectly...

but 1 thing is when i brake the car above 110km++...the steering also shudder/vibrate hard.but releasing the brake back to normal..as what the machanic said...it could be the brake disc plate warp/uneven that might be also contribute to the steering vibrating/shudder when highspeed is done...

another possibility..the tyre thread...but i think that not a problem... hmm.gif  hmm.gif ...anyone can confirm this??..brake disc or tyre problem??...headace now..spent 5times on "on wheel balancing" also cant solve.....even alignment n off wheel balancing is done..
*
NOW this is really eye-opening... thanks for the heads-up... at least now I'm prepared for the worst case scenario... cry.gif

QUOTE(SiuYi @ Feb 3 2009, 01:39 AM)
Eve2211
either u rescrew the steering rack tighter or align back ur tyres.or maybe ur tyres aint balanced properly initially.

Thanks, will get it done soon. Hopefully it'll be settled then..

mean castrol magnatec?
will try...cuz 1k+ will 5th service...so try asking what brand is good
cuz i ask and they say can bring own oil
*
Beware, when I call Proton iCare hotline the operator told me that bringing own engine oil will void the guarantee. [Bear in mind that the phone coversation is recorded]

But when I call the SC they said you can bring ur own engine oil.

Since I have a spare bottle of engine oil at home, I brought it for my first service, and when I got my service invoice, it's stated there that "the customer provided engine oil".

I'm not sure about the implications, but I'm just telling what I know. Hope this helps.

wont la.if u go to the centre which allow, at the same concept, they will not void it.of coz who will not want to sell their own stuff ler?what engine oil type u used for 1st service?my invoice din write so ler.
You used ur own engine oil but ur invoice didnt write so? Hmm.

I'm not really sure what brand engine oil I used (actually it's just cap ayam bought from carefour XD). But it's 20-50W la...Why?

QUOTE(kaizou @ Feb 10 2009, 03:00 PM)
Dun worry. just refer your "Manual" its stated, you need to comply with the API. we can use 10-40W up to 20-50W. they show some graph there in the manual. you need to understand...proton dont have their own "ENGINE OIL", if they have it...we cannot change to other than their own engine oil. this applies just to the ATF oil which PROTON have their own brand.

"Warranty" applies with service center recommendation. they will say...this owner complies with this..that...so on. thus we recommend proton to replace/rectify this owner car.

thats my "own" reasoning from my "own" understanding of the manual. dun just refer to i-care 100%....most of them just dont 100% sure on the things they told you.
*
Heehee, I didnt read up the manual, and yea I didnt really follow what iCare told me as well, since I'm bringing my own engine oil no matter what they said, that time on the phone I just ask along cuz I was asking something else as well.

QUOTE(yumi-yumi @ Feb 10 2009, 03:55 PM)
dear all saga owner,

I`m planning to get a SAGA.... the problem is....

I found the price (s) B-Line RM36k and N-Line (s) RM31.5k....... whats the different?
My planning is , i buy the N-Line then go to paint front and back bumper to white color. and add the tayar cover...... so the outlook will same like (s) B-Line?

Then i can save RM36k- RM31.5k = RM4500 ?

How do u guys think r? give me some advice plss  notworthy.gif
*
No, it's not just the paint that cost 4500.

Difference in features between N and B line: alarm system, remote doors, power window, and radio with cd player (if not mistaken the rims are kinda diff too). And oh yeah for N-line there's only manual no auto. That means with N line you get a very basic panda car with ONLY central door lock =)

if u wanna use cap ayam...better u use back SC provided petronas one....
if u wanna buy, buy sometime nice....castrol, 76, shell, motul, Q8 etc.....

No cuz the engine oil's already sitting at home (I think my dad bought extra due to promotion or something), I didn't purposely go to CF to buy the cap ayam for my car XD

Actually I also thought of buying good ones...for next service will do...

If i off the aircon, seems that the pickup is faster and of course can go faster smoothly. But if on the aircon, i feel pickup seems to be sluggish and i have to press more oil like that still stuck at that slow speed. I though i heard that if we on the aircon, the car will accelerate faster, but now pickup sluggish? Anyone face this issue before?
*
Same here. It's normal I think. Dunno where u hear on aircond faster cuz aircond takes up power which is needed by acceleration, so how can it be faster? Wira's also like that.
