time to upgrade to better brake pads.

wats the odometer? using ori brake pads? highly likely uneven disc rotor like the others mentioned.

RM 70 full tank, best can get is 450 to 460km

Mr car average is RM70 for 400km only if fully using highway maybe can get 450km. Ori brake pad is Bosch and it will cost you RM300 per pair.

woah.. go for bendix titanium la.. rm95 in the forum for rear and rm115 for front.

mine rm80 can go until 480kms waja cps MT. full city driving. on the highway full time is about 550kms for the same price (keeping to speed limit).

Hmm my odometer just < 8k ... so fast disc rotor uneven lol ..


Btw anyone know where is RACE ? Is it one of the proton SC ?
i heard ppl say send to RACE check very good in troubleshooting ...

Its not a Proton SC, but they are well verse in Proton car. Maybe they got the service manual (only SC got this) through their links with the R3.

If i give them check my car, will they able to do so ? and also warranty and service part ...

may i know the location ?

As for my brake issue, if i send to RACE ... can i claim the warranty ?
or should i juz send to proton SC .. ?

i juz had my car serviced...it's the 2nd service today. Managed to eliminate the what i tought to be a suspension problem sound (but actually it's the rear seat sound nyek nyek). The guy just put a duct tape and the problem solved.

Solved problem for fuel tank lid not open when you pull it's latch. the guy took about 20 mins just to fix it. my advice, don't push the lid too much when you close it.

aircond got rattling sound. problem not fixed. the guy just said gen-2 is very RICH with sounds.

he also warned for me not to lowered the car yet cos still got warranty, and he said R3 product is ok. however he mentioned that gen-2 tank (forgot what tank) is placed very low and thin, thus have to be prepared if lowered your car.

my steering radio controlled button (the volume up,mute,and down button) is haywire. sometime it is ok, sometime it is crazy. Push the volume down and it will mute, push the mute and it will volume up). Tested during the test drive with the mechanic but unfortunately the problem is not there, so cannot change anything. SUX! i told him it happened but not all the time. th guy said yes, gen-2 always had that problem. have to wait until it's totally crazy then bring back to the SC.

kena adviced to not treating auto tranny as manual. high speed cruising is ok, but for sudden acceleration have to be a bit gentle, unlike manual where you can thrash to the max. suddenly I feel scared.

i don't know what other problem may arise..the engine is good though..i love high speed cruising as i like how it roars! i wonder if put extractor and air filter will it sounds much nicerrrrr.

for steering vibration, i changed my standard tire and rims, now 160-170 lepas tangan pon not vibrate at all. last time 110 vibrate like a small car.

just to share my experience with my 6000km gen-2 cps auto

Kinda hard to describe the location, try googling up. Or can try to look up for Top Speed workshop. Its quite near.

As I mention earlier, it is not an SC, so cannot claim warranty but you can ask them to pin-point the problem.

Change the intake and exhaust, it will sound much nicer..

when you guys are having TT? i want to join. i am planning for k&n drop in filter. any1 using it currently and any comments?

tonite they have TT, check few post/page earlier.

K&N drop in is ok. from what I felt (sorry no data to proof), the intake is better at high rpm. less choking. its even better and more smooth after installation of iridium denso during my 10k service. all these does not increase performance. its just smoother revs n less choking on ur engine.

Added on August 15, 2009, 9:21 pmrefering back to mrjgx's comments on the auto box not advisable to be rough with it, i think its unacceptable. Even though car parts are not meant to last forever, we as consumer bought the product and expect it to perform at optimum level and won't spoil since it has warranty (if not mistaken its 2 years). Of course, we will have to take care by changing the AT gear oil on schedule and rev only when the engine temp is at operating temperature (warm enough).

adding oil coolers will have advantage of keeping the oil cooled during high speed or in hot weather conditions. it will pro-long the life of AT gear oil but still, change it when its due time.

if we do follow by the book on the manufacturer's advise, we should not be afraid should any claims arises.

its my thoughts above and its really beneficial to know consumer rights. listening to the mechs is ok but know when to draw the line between being smart and being taken for a ride.
