it's hard is it? same like mine... everytime my 4 yr old son wanna open the rear door, he owez look like pulling an elephant... lulz..

Be careful he might broken the handle soon.

Actually all those 'hard to open' issue is due to wrong way to open the door. They tends to pull the handle from center. doh.gif

as coolkwc mentioned, it is due to wrong way to pull the handle
try to enforce at red box zone but not blue box zone as pic below
another reason is due to it is still new, u might need to open/close 4 doors everyday at least two times or what to loose them up

[attachmentid=1922949]

Thanks for pic.

Enforce at red area by 4 finger, with your thumb press at the fixed handle at the left, i have no problem to open my door by this way. SA told me during i take my new car.

And chrome handle won't fix ur problem.

Guys seems like everyone is still taking their BLM back to the Proton SC for repair. No one have encountered non Proton Mechanic Workshop which can do the service? need someone reliable and honest .
*
Of cos there are alot of non proton workshop who can do the service, i don think you need to worry too much.

They back to Proton SC service just to retain warranty, not becos their good workmanship.

Will let the people in SC to check what is the problem when I go there for 10,00km service. Last time the rear boot cannot hold when I open it, when I open the boot it tends to close down by itsef..looks like the spring can't hold the boot..but that problem already solved during 5,000km service, now another problem occurs  doh.gif
*
Those thing can be adjusted DIY, but u have to know how la, if not better do outside. Last time i adjust by my self, the spring as well, there are two holes there, default they hook the spring in less tension hole (more inside), i dismantle by myself and hook it at 2nd hole, now the lid can stand strongly even the car park decline.

no difference?..that's weird
mine definitely got different
faster pickup...better FC....a lighter engine

tensioner?
not sure...the bill there call seal cam cover...i'm not sure what is it's actual name
the guy also dn't know what it is

Not weird, for pickup is slightly better but FC is no different for me, even with full sync 5-40w now.

Even oil manufacturer stated u only can get better FC by using <40w, which is X-30w oil.

Anyway, different between full sync and semi sync is quite noticeable. Full sync long lasting, now my car adi 6.5k, the power still same as new oil change, if semi sync, >3k u can feel the engine sound is rough and less power.

Yeah man~ langsung tak ada feel. wasted extra 30 bucks. Btw im using Shell 10-40w how bout you? maybe i should try your oil and see. Btw yours is auto right?

hurm its ok then. i will just print out the list and bring it to the guy ask him to help me change accordingly. but i just got an open port i dont think need to change the air filter liao. kekekeke
*
I will never use Shell 10-40w semi anymore. Worst than Petronas 15-50W semi.

You bring to SC be ready to fork out around rm400 la. haha somehow they will change everything stated but the one in glenmarie Proton Edar good la. they change accordingly that's why mine was rm39x instead of rm4xx
Haha service in proton centre is like that lor. even the 15-50w oil is rm30 more expensive than outside
Wei bro are you sure you driving SAGA BLM ah? why i can't get your performance one sad.gif

Yup.. he even call the office infront of me to ask the people in his office to block the car I wanted.
It only takes 1 week for my loan to approve and then he call me back and say no more stock
and ask me if I want to buy the M-line A/T or SE

so I say, I'll get back to him on that. Still thinking of what to do now. sad.gif

Don't compromise. MT and AT is like boy and girl, once u got AT there is no way u can regret.

Get back the deposit, is his fault, there are so many SA around, find another. mad.gif

if only 1 time from stop to steady speed, u rev until 4k also no problem. But if city drive which not much acceleration with steady slow pace, shift early, even after shift <2k also no problem.

@ slow pace traffic, i adi engage 3rd gear even only @ 30km/h, rpm around 1.6k, as long as u didn't pickup rapidly, low RPM won't hurt the FC, but reduce. Unless otherwise stated.

Bro, using 3rd gear on such slow speed won't damage the geerbox? hmm.gif

As long as the engine not vibrate, it means adequate torque at that RPM @ that speed.

i dn't think will......but will have the fear of the engine suddenly shut down because of RPM too low if his leg suddenly release
*
Nope. As long as the RPM didn't fall below 1k, no need to worry about engine stall. at garden road i seldom shift gear one, sometimes 3rd even slower than 30km/h, about 1.2k RPM only.

As i said, if ur engine is vibrate or choke, then its time to change gear, otherwise if just smooth and steady pace, even 40km/h @ 5th gear also no problem.

hope anyone here could advise when we need to change brake fluid and coolant...is it during 20k service??

thanks
*
Brake fluid is unnecesary, it can more than 40k. For radiator coolant, very cheap item only, change or not change also ok. But if u bring to Proton SC, there sure will change the raiator coolant, no room to negotiate if u want warranty.

guys can BLM reach 180kmh or further? what will be the RPM reading during this speed?

thanks

Yes for manual and no for Auto.

6k RPM @ 180km/h and pointless to drive BLM at such speed. cool2.gif

BLM rev cut is 7k flat, if really reach that @ 5th gear can get 210km/h flat. doh.gif For 5th gear, every 1k increase in RPM = +30km/h.

y auto cannot?
i saw auto rpm is lower than manual
so the top speed should higher?or because not enough force? rclxub.gif

Auto gear ratio is longer, especially overdrive (4th gear) compare with overdrive (5th gear manual), engine is not enuf power to push the car beyond that speed, even 170km/h is hard to reach.


Added on December 10, 2010, 10:17 pm
very excited leh...
optimum speed for BLM is 100km/j la

+100.

At this range, the FC is the best. I drive at highway from JB to Ipoh i only max out at 3.4k rpm @ 105km/h, ya is slow for this journey, but what i got is 16+km/L for that speed. I understand my car is BLM only, low budget car, so have to drive slow, no choice.

serious? would like to try how much can i squeeze @ 90km/h LOL!

You can try that. I did so many times before, i only manage to get what the spec stated, minimum 6L/100km @ 90km/h. That time is 1000km mileage car, so i drove from JB to Ipoh at highway @ 90km/h max. ohmy.gif Now i normally drive no more than 3.4k rpm @ 105km/h. what i get is slightly higher FC 6.1-6.3L/100km.
