So, it seems like they are using some kind of thing attached to the engine, which is made of plastic. A very bad idea to begin with. Rotating part should never be made of plastic.
The warranty is probably under the vendor. If the vendor refuse to warrant the faulty part, proton could file a lawsuit against them. That is, provided proton did not DECIDE to use the wrong material!!

If they already state the material in the first place, which is a wrong material, there is no case at all. It's a result of poor engineering.
If this problem is not solved, your BLM would have little second hand value. Who would want to buy a costly maintenance car? No demand = low second hand value.
Well said. But still, no official statement has been released. Any plan for that? Formality means a lot of thing.

nothing wrong with hard plactic. it only an intake manifold combind togather with emission control. still remember old school intake + emission control, use a lot of small hoses and a lot of valves. modern style is sensors and a plastic with vacum passage that will control the intake fuel/air going into combustion chamber. The tak tak tak sound is a valve either kong or sensors kong or just a vacum bocor somewhere in the emission system. I did asked the boy at the SC to open the iafm but they dont dare to, have to returned one unit.
Only BOSH have the technican that can solve the problem, try to google , I tried already. Not much info about how it works.

Walao. Under warranty can change a ? Coz the "eeeee" sound while the wheel rotating only appear in low speed. Mayb 0~20. When higher than tat, the "eeee" sound dun have. As for the tekan break it appear when i m juz started driving the car. After 5 to 10 minutes (i assume the brake panas adi) then the sound dissapear.
And ya, after hearing the you tube sound clip,my saga i confirm got the tak tak sound. Coz i notice adi, but then i tought is other problem. Tak sangka is iafm. Oh nOOO ! 1st batch. Habes !
try not to spray water to brake while washing your car and dont prk near rumput basah overnight. rusty brake disk could be the problem..
about the iafm, welcome to the club....
