1) When on Idle, the rpm tends to fluctuate up and down. This happens very often sometimes when the car is cold and sometimes even when it is warm. When put on 'N' this also happens. Have sent to many mechanics and each time after a few thousand Kilometers, it will happen again.

Code:

I had the same problem. Took it to the Service Center in Puchong. They replace a part..not sure what it was...something about ti affected by use and sand etc. Cost about 80 ringgit to replace it....After much complaining they waived the labour cost since I had it done at the same time as a service.

3) A cranking sound sometimes when I start my car. Was told it was the flywheel problem. Have changed it and problem was rectified at first. Now, sometimes I still get the cranking sound.

Code:

Have the same problem. Only when I start the car. On the road it's fine. Found that if you crank the engine a bit...before starting ...it goes away. Not sure if it's a belt prob...sure sounds like one.
