Wanna ask you guys, is the IAFM tak tak noise still an issue for latest IAFM part ?

Mine was sounded since 1 year ago and i don't care about it, now it's getting worse with 2 types of sound and much louder already.

Part price is Rm 250, where can i get good and cheaper labour to change it ?

I only did 3 times free labour service + 1 time major service that cost rm RM 500+ back in 1 years ago and i'm not bothering going back to those unprofessional and expensive service anymore. So can i still go back in sudden to claim for the IAFM ? haha..

I don't think they will bother me now, and the money i save for being SUCK by proton is more than 800 per year, and it's time to spend some to replace certain part.

Then called proton spare part center and they're selling the whole iafm module at Rm 250. How much workshop will charge ?

Hey aunty in my place drive like a mad dog... haha

Can change persona's IAFM module ? You can think DIY ka ? need special machine to dismantle the part ?

Haha.. give me 5

Not only money matters, every time i go HQ have to take 1 days leave, sitting there like a headless chicken keep waiting and waiting until the end of the day.

Changed to visit authorized SC, still need about 3 hours just for changing oil and filter, then keep noising about "If you don't change spark plug, coolant later you car got prob we cannot responsible". Now i responsible for my own car, stop sucking my money .

Every time i bought eneos semi 5-30w + oil filter + Labour = RM 110, it's much better than psyntium semi. Spark plug changed to iridium where it can last for 100k. I chose toyota radiator coolant at spare part shop at RM 20 only (Can last for 40k), do it myself rather than being charged Rm 25 for those tesco like tin brand of coolant that proton SC sells

Did they access the IAFM from bottom (Jack up the car) or can be dismantle from top ?

haha ask 1st, see can do or not..

I have that always when people come out from the back but only happen for the back, some says it's from brake but even i don't hold hand brake it will sound too.

When changing gear no sound, mine is auto

It is wind noise coming from side windows or from engine compartment ?

hhhhhhhssssssss <-- to me it's like air blowing sound ? Can you describe whether it's metal hitting sound ? spinning hit sound ?

Look for Kent Goh, he definitely will give you the cheapest and best service you will ever experience. Just installed ARB for my BLM, it works great and not so much worry about hard cornering already

Anyone changed timing belt yet ? 70K Mileage good to change already ?

I tried shell helix ultra full syn, the engine is noisier and more heavy because the oil is thicker than SC's petronas semi. Try eneos semi 5-30w RM 95. it will make your engine more powerful and quiet good to drive. It is 7k change interval.

Proton genuine ATF III is not so good, every morning you will notice the gear change jerk or sometimes even after engine heated up. Try mitsubishi DIA QUEEN ATF III, it will improve your gear shifting a lot.

If some 1 hesitating whether the car can use mitsubishi ATF, go and take out the gearbox ATF level checker, see what it's printed on it "use genuine Mitsubishi ATF III" (The gearbox is from Mitsubishi anyway). The gearbox capacity is 4.7 Liter
