Thanks for the technical feedback.
I'm not really into car technical; just know enough to (hopefully) not get conned.

I dont floor the pedal; just alot of stop-go-stop-go... which is the main cause of the high fuel consumption. On highway, a full tank (34L) can get me to Ipoh (over 200KM) and still over 50% of fuel remain in the tank

Wow.. this type of driver also got...
I feel the pain for the engine...

rattling sound?
pinging sound?
bombing sound?

consistently appear?
random occurrence?

sound appear at all speed?
sound appear only a certain speed?

sound from engine bay?
sound from inside the cabin?

sound only during driving?
same sound when idling?

got phone to record the sound (turn off radio) and attach it here?

The (in)famous auto-shift...
With experience, you'll be making "dangerous" corner with it
But, expect higher maintenance on your gearbox and petrol consumption.

My advice, with an active ECU-gearbox, check your ATF regularly.. me, I plan to do it every 20K or at least once a year

Shazmn no money? .. so unbelievable...
(joking joking)


Question that pop up is that campro engine is compatible with Kancil-class mineral oil?

If engine quality is poor (last time I was driving a >20years old daihatsu charade), mineral is better because the "size" is bigger.

If normal engine (donno what it mean by normal..), semi-syn is preferred.

If rich, fully-syn is the best.

I thought that even if we can use mineral, we should be aiming for bigger "number"-version, right? Because our engine cc is so much higher than kancil's engine cc ?

I faced this problem before.
The cause = the middle-rear water pipe leak. This water pipe is to "pancut" water to your rear window. Need to put PBC(?) to seal the leakage.

The long-term cause = ur roof's cushion will "fall-off"; it will start banging the head/hair of those sitting at the rear seat.

Solution: change cushion (because the glue loses the stickiness, after contact with water), Rm400, if not mistaken. Alternative, you can change the entire roof-set (cost more )

Guys, my car acting up again.

The fan doesn't stop spinning after i turn the engine off. I vaguely remember that some sensor or chip controls the fan/temp ; and allows the fan to spin for a little while after the engine is turn off to turn down the overall engine temperature.

I cannot remember the name of the sensor or the "box", but I think that this sensor is giving problem again.

Also, I vaguely remember that the repair cost is roughly 300$ so if anyone know the name and/or price of this item, I appreciates all advice

Okay... My wife problem confirmed....
The hose and top tank of the radiator "bocor" ... the relay is working correctly.
Repair cost = 350$

.................

Wandzul, I repair my roof at Puchong side.. I donno the name of the place, but if want, I can guide you there....My repair cost for the roof is 350$ ...

roughly...
LDP toward toll ... before toll, turn left ... go down (dont go flyover), traffic light turn right ...
after mosque, turn left ... pass JPJ car-test area ... got 1 "area" of industrial building on your left hand side ... it's around there.

landmark = alot of industrial building, haha... and it is at the same row of a corner-lot mamak.. haha

After IOI mall, toward Cyberjaya..
After the turning toward Tractor Msia, you'll come to another left turn just before the Toll Plaza.

31 front
28 back

A change of new air-cond filter will cost RM50 from spare part shop..
Just for info.

From the look, chassis seem okay, engine and suspension system might need to check/repair. bumper and body need to respray. If not mistaken, tyre also might have problem(?)

Time to consider modding?
*time to :polish: *

You know, engine rosak means rosak... better get new engine, maybe mitsu
Front suspension also need to change, try consider adjustable suspension
Go 18" tyre, better stability at highspeed

For Info, only the first generation (few batches in year 2004) have built-in Captor. This is due to 2 primary reason:

1. Captor was establish in Msia and is looking for marketing/promoting their product (this one I confirm as I ask Captor during my re-activation. Sadly, I didnt follow up in 2009 and 2010 ). They have a MoM with Proton to add it to Gen-2 as part of promotion for both Captor and Gen-2

2. Proton has a new concept (Gen-2 really look odd/unlike the others Proton "established" model such as Saga and Wira). Due to this, they would need as much "goodie" as much to promote their new model.

It was discontinue in later batch because of cost-related issue. And also the MoM is only for a short period only.

In another note:
I have a weird issue... Yesterday, when I was driving in un-even road, I can hear squeaky sound from my my back-left side of the cabin. However, this morning, the sound is not as attention-grabing as it was yesterday.

Anyone know of the reason?



edit: .. mistaken put year 2004 as year 2006 (Gen2 initial launch is 2004, not 2006) sorry for the mistaken and TQ for headup

Arnt the account number written on the loan document itself?
Or you can call the ever-friendly customer service department in maybank for details .. they exist for a reason (personally, i call them only when i'm in either a good or foul mood )

car plastic door?
what is that?

I tested before.

During the test period, I drove to office, work and drove home.
Then found out my test fail. They need me to be actively driving during the period.. so i = because i'm an office person, takan I take AL to drive around KL whole day, right?

ICIC
normally the faulty part is the battery.. 150$ to replace battery (price is 2year ago).
but if the main circuit is faulty, then gg.com (cheaper to just buy a different alarm system)
