Dear Friends,
Collected my new, spanking Proton Saga, Hi-Line, Auto, Mettalic - Blue Berry Tea colour yesterday at 6.10pm. Simply cool!!!!!
On the whole quite satisfied except for the following :

1. A little noisy - wind noise.
2. Air Cond keeps going on and off ( compressor) very frequently. Quiet irritating. Salesman said he will check on this.
3. Steering doesnt lock after removing ignition key!!
4. Auto Shift does not light up the P N D 3 at the gear level. Is this normal ? Proton should look at this. Otherwis you have to keep looking at the dash panel to see in which gear you are in, particularly at night !!
5. No mud flaps - salesman say morden cars dont need mudflaps. He thinks I was born yesterday.

Help needed from you all.
I am sooooo happy with my new baby.
Regards,
Padhma

congrates for ur new car. I dont have saga but below is my point of view

1) Wind noise ? How fast u drive?? may be due to the rubber or glass misalignment.
2) Very frequently means ?? aircond kick on/off frequently is normal mah..
3) even u steer finish? I even didnt use waja steering lock for this... advise u get a better pedal lock + fuel cut switch to secure ur car.
4) hmmm... this really need to check with SC
5) salasman is BS...

Thank.

1.My BLM has minimal wind noise but the tyre noise is loud at 80kmh.If its really wind noise,check your rubber lining at the door.

2.If temp is set at minimum then its normal.

3.Clearly a fault.However the steering needs to be turn more than the Waja for it to lock.

4.There is no light at the gear console.I'm used to looking at the dash and no longer need to look down when shifting.
U can consider DIY if u really needs it.

5.Its weird but many new car regardless of make hav no mudflaps.If u chech the road and transport rule,mudflaps is a must and driving around without it is illegal and can be summoned.
Last month i had to use petrol to remove tar stain on the body coz it dos not hav mudflaps.

Congrats padhma for your new baby. smile_big.gif

1. A little noisy - wind noise. ==> How fast u driving? City or highway driving. Mine is OK je.

2. Air Cond keeps going on and off ( compressor) very frequently. Quiet irritating. Salesman said he will check on this. ==> do u pusing your air-con temp to max? I'm OK je like normal.

3. Steering doesnt lock after removing ignition key!! ==> not try yet. I never use this. Hehe.

4. Auto Shift does not light up the P N D 3 at the gear level. Is this normal ? Proton should look at this. Otherwis you have to keep looking at the dash panel to see in which gear you are in, particularly at night !! ==> I'm using Manual. Not sure about this.

5. No mud flaps - salesman say morden cars dont need mudflaps. He thinks I was born yesterday. ==> cut cost mah.

Okay, have sorted out 2 & 3.
1. Have set temp knob to min and the compressor is working fine. Have to try and push it mid position on a hot day and see how it works.
2. With the engine running, turn the steering 1 t 1 1/2 inche to the right or left of centre and turn the key to acc and then press, turn to lock and remove key.
Lastly, how wonderful if this model was sold for RM30 to RM35K.
