guys regarding the iafm issue,

some say, the indicator would be

1. tak..tak..tak sound
2. fc increase
3. loose pickup at low rpm

also some say, only first batch of saga got this problem..other batches are safe from this.
if its true why some of us has to change it 3 times?

if its faulty, replacing a new ones should solve it.

Is it faulty design? - it wont last long and not durable? no matter how many times u changed it ...it will spoil later in short time

what happens if after 3 year / no more warranty u have to pay to change it? for a long term its gonna cost us a lot

I got the feeling that mine is faulty, i feel loss of pickup at low rpm..and the fc is increased a bit. engine sound a bit rough and got little tak tak sound even after ive done my service

mine is early 2nd batch saga

sorry if i scared u guys

My Car : Proton Saga 1.3 (30000km , 2.5 years) service at 5000km intervals

i came here in search for suggestion for my possible problem

7 days ago, i headed over a petrol station

pumped in full gas, filled up my tyres with air

drove to work

on the way home on the federal highway, i had a toned down radio and i could hear ratling sounds from the hood area

i noticed this ratling sounds only come when i accelerate above 2500RPM, and immediately releasing the pedal, the ratling gets softer till eventually none
the ratling sounds sounds like an old taxi sort of sound and gets louder as i acclerate
this happens on gears around 3,4,5 as i accelerate between 60-100kmph

on Neutral free gear, revving up the engine to 3500RPM does not produce any sounds

i noticed a slight smell of oil through my airconds when i hear louder ratling sounds as well.

i would head over the workshop this weekend but im seeking for some initial pointers and how critical this is

EDIT:

what is the IAFM issue? i just saw some1 post before me.. anyways, im new in this side of the forum and im new towards cars

I think start with D is better ~~ If car want to naik bukit then only change to 3 ~ (Seldom)
3 is somesort like a lower gear ~ Start with lower gear will consume more petrol i think (As in certain manual cars start in gear 2 instead of gear 1 because gear 1 consume more petrol upon starting?)

Without forcing and stop when the nozzle stop, i can only go for 47km for the 1st bar. I think the 1st bar can actually go more than tat rite ?

Wah. Light come out can walk another 50km ?? I normally walk another 5~10 km nia. Will try it next time. Hopefully it won't end up me pushing the car. 

  Apa la ~    Mmmm  Nvm is ok 

So, seems like the actual size for driver's side wiper is 22 inch, that mean 21 inch is not correct edi lo ~
Hypermart shows another size another person(s) mentioned another size ~
Nanti beli terlalu pendek or panjang sebab tak sure which size
Sigh ~ Hehe ~

i'm interested in purchasing a BLM within the 2nd half of this year.  I will be choosing the Metallic Auto version.  This is because I have not driven for nearly 3 years and a manual would be a bit hard to familiarize again.

Is the Auto version severely underpowered and is there unusually high petrol consumpiton for it?

where u spotted this car??

How much does it cost to make it auto eeh?

On other note, how do you clean ur front glass haa? my front glass have a smudge of wiper's rubber on it, maybe caused by sun heat and when i turn the wipers on on it create a mark on my glass..the funny thing is the smudge looks like its in the mirror and not on the surface..i try to clean it using my finger but i don't feel like sumthing is stick to the glass..
