guys, i remember someone here posted a picture of his 20,000km service slip. anyone kind enough to point me to it?
been trying to search in the v7 and v6 thread but couldn't find it. the search just feels so stupid to me.
i'm going for 20,000km service tomorrow morning, so just want to make sure they change only the required things for me and dun simply charge me. i remember it was mentioned that it's around rm400+ thanks.

QUOTE(rckh @ Mar 17 2010, 04:46 PM) You can buy the lamp without the bulbs & bulb holders. Cost less - RM 152.44. Persona Enhancement cost RM540.26 for each complete unit. Will cost more than 1k for complete rear make over. Not worth it. where did you check for the new rear lamp price? at SC? i think out of SC can get cheaper. but need to wait till the spare parts shop has stock. my SA said the lights are manufactured by LA (Lighting Automotive). so let's just wait a few more months and see if spare parts shop has it.

QUOTE(Xefron @ Mar 18 2010, 10:21 PM) Wow.RM 85.02 ? Must changed when it is already available. if just want the housing, can actually already get at outside market. even brothers sell it. for double din casing, it's rm90 if not mistaken. there's 1 forumer in automotive garage selling many item. he also carries single din and double din casing for persona. less than rm100

QUOTE(shelby_yong @ Mar 22 2010, 09:57 PM) u mean all in 1 memory card/? yep use papago as primary, then garmin for backup when want to search POI coz got more POI stored in it. lokatoo, leave there for fun QUOTE(heavencloud @ Mar 22 2010, 10:17 PM) all in one device, so greedy  Well, i'm still trying to convince myself whether i really need a gps or not. It is cool, but honestly, i'm very seldom need a direction. Usually just open google earth and memorize the route Btw, a noob gps question, can the gps detect roads that got traffic jam ah?  if dont need then dun need buy la. i also seldom use. only when go out of state. i didn't buy, got it for free with my car. gps can't detect traffic jam

QUOTE(vson @ Mar 23 2010, 09:02 PM) I had seen many of you guys out there saying that the service interval is 5k and 10k... the booklet says 10k and the bill says 5k... have anyone just don't care what is written on the bill and go for 10k service and yet can get warranty? Pls share with us if whom ever have experience on this. Just follow the booklet. it says 10k service interval, so i follow it to ensure my warranty is intact. However, for the 5k between the 10k service, i go for simple service outside. 1k, 5k, 10k -> all in Proton SC 15k -> outside service 20k -> Proton SC 25k -> outside service 30k -> Proton SC and so on... This way, they won't know and they can't say I didn't follow the schedule and void my warranty.

QUOTE(loong2020 @ Mar 23 2010, 10:23 PM) well..the booklet stated 10k is fully-sync that proton recommended to use but as for the receipt it depends on what engine oil you change most of you guys are using semi-sync so, i believe the receipt will automatically print out 5k service interval, but fully-sync the system will print out 10k interval... just my wild guess....i might be wrong..no offence...  you are wrong. it is stated in the car booklet to use semi syn and the viscosity (forgot how to spell) is stated as well. I asked this with the SC before and they do say service every 10k and the car is not suitable using full syn oil. in fact, even my friend's new vios service every 10K km although using semi syn only. so to be on the safe side, i still go for simple service for the 5K between the 10K km service

QUOTE(jasontantenghuat @ Mar 31 2010, 01:24 AM) 1. Can someone explain the cruise control to me? Like whether the speed will be constant when uphill and downhill, easy to use or not, and is there a special "screen/light" to indicate what speed you locked it at? (Audi has a light which will light up on the numbers on the speedo, effing cool!) I own an SE. Cruise control really works great. I uses it everyday to and from my office. Once cruise control on, the car will try to maintain constant speed whether uphill or downhill. When uphill, if the car speed drops and feels underpower, the cruise control will make the car drop 1 gear and increase the engine rev higher to maintain same speed. once that happen, you will see the rev goes above 3k easily. slight hill accent is ok, but i don't recommend use to go uphill like genting. once on flat road back, it will shift up the gear again. it is very easy to use. there's just a light to indicate the cruise control on - either speed set (green) or not (amber). speed you clock at is not shown. it's only in its memory. you will know when your needle stay put at a place. but its really easy to use. On -> reach desired speed -> set. Then you can pause (by stepping on the brake pedal or use the switch) -> control your pedal manually -> resume to speed set earlier (using the same switch)

QUOTE(jasontantenghuat @ Mar 31 2010, 02:13 AM) Lol my brain fried at the last part. What's the max and min speed ? min speed for cruise control to work is 40kmph. max... not stated in the manual  I tried 170kmph using cruise control on north south highway no problem. 180kmph, didn't think to try cruise control, just concentrating on the road.

QUOTE(ralf @ Mar 31 2010, 09:02 AM) 170kmh using cruise control, we have no autobahn here..  can la. along north south highway many long stretches can go at that speed QUOTE(Josh_M @ Mar 31 2010, 10:04 AM) Bravo cruise control at 170Kmph.. had 3 passengers with me. even cruising at that speed, the car felt planted and stable. can drive with confidence. i was initially driving a 140kmph, but my gf ask why drive so slow. when i told her it's already 140, she says it feels slow  . so i was like, ok and i stepped more and settled with 170

my car is now 9 months old and I still using stock brake pad. high speed braking is considered good for me. know that abs is working and emergency brake when floor wet also ok. but i try not to press brake unnecessarily especially on straight roads. prefer control the accelerator throttle such as letting go from a distance when front car is slow. i think this will help in FC
