What have you been fixing? As for the rear sound of my car, i just turn up my speaker volume, kau tim..
Very sien and TIRED to troubleshoot already..

I found a piece of card board in my ACP area when I sent my car for checkup. Sigh, not sure the SC that I went or
shop outside put it in..Now scare to sent my car for modding or service without my eye looking them doing.

I told u ur pistons kaput d. That's the reason why ur engine noise vibrates like hell, also the reason why ur engine oil spilled all over the place. I suspect they gave u a unit with cracked engine block (although this is rather impossible, but anything is possible with proton). Also explains why ur engine oil level is below the safe zone even after I topped it up the other nite.
No 2nd option man. This is ur new and 1st car, rite? If ur car so new already claim insurance, what's the point of getting a new car just to lose a few thousand bucks? Let Proton earn blind profit? The best u can do now? SUE THEM!! I'll be by ur side if u need any help, u have my support. Sue till they lat foo for providing a customer with brand new car 'pre-installed' with problems. If the problems are minor, then it's ok. But in ur case u can actually sue them n ask them to pay u to compensate for the damages & time spent/wasted.
The electronic board that he meant were the ignition coils. The ignition coils are burnt, therefore causing severe damage to other parts of the engine including the internals.
Back. What help u need?
No. Practice ur rights as a consumer. This is the reason why Proton's quality hasn't been improving over the years. Because the CONSUMERS DONT ACTUALLY CARE!! Sue them till they revamp their whole QC & PDI departments to ensure that future buyers & existing Proton owners get what quality stuff & service, which is what they're paying for.

Good. But tell ur dad even if they replace a new car for u also go bring it to court. Don't be satisfied just because they replace a new car for u, or else their QC & PDI will NEVER improve and the way we look at Proton will stay the same. Dun just diam diam, u must know ur rights. The most Proton will do is replace a new engine for u. How much u wanna bet with me for that? They'll just swap a new engine for u & stamp it at JPJ, whereby this process will take up an entire month, maybe more. They'll bring out all sorts of bullsh!t telling u that they need the authorities to sign this & that, need to inspect, bla bla. Proton never take their customers seriously until they retaliate & complain. Time is gold, and if u had a dollar for every single second u wait for them to replace ur engine, u'll be a millionaire by the time u get ur car.
Press coverage? Good idea, but can be done only after u sue them. Or else Proton sue u back for defamation
Trust ur ears. If u think u hear loose noise, chances are they never tighten it properly. About the sluggish/underpowered part, u may wanna let ur ECU adapt itself for a few days to a week first before deciding to do anything else. Anything to do with electronics and sensors have to go through our ECU. So give it some time.

Urs is PE, rite? If they change ur sensor from 'VDO' to 'Made In China', it means all the PEs out there are running VDO Made In Germany stuff. C'mon, Continental is a Germany brand, of course must let it drink Hoeegarden la. If u let it drink chinese tea, how to expect it to perform?

What i'm trying to say is, what are the possibilities of an OEM sensor not working well with OEM ECU? And what are the chances of a 'China mali' brand working better with a German-engineered ECU?

ok understood...
i really duno man...of cz i didnt drove already after reaching home that day like tat.guess wad...i drive in tat condition from sepang till my house...really thank God man it didnt explode...i tink if i really drive more it will really explode...my dad told me tat d wad plug from d pistons all burnt...then got engine oil leakage below d engine cover wor when he sees it...d foreman got took photos of d condition la...my dad didnt...

do u knw tat sensor is really sensitive?different brand really got different one...even normal sensors also like tat...same sensor but different brand wif different prizes...reason?

sensors also got its spec u knw?sorry...being a engineering student tat studies on various sensors used on robots...so i got knowledge bout sensors...even college la..they use cheapo sensors for lab experiments...reason?afraid student spoil d expensive ones...

Well, the future quality of Proton rests on the shoulder of unlucky people like u who got lemon units. But if u don't complain & sue them, then this will just go on, and the 'tak apa' attitude goes on. "Job well done? Hardly." So true.

U will, of course u will get back ur car. But how long will it take? And how can u be sure that the same issue will not return again? U will still face problems in the future, whether it's engine problem or not.
Try to unplug ur o2sensor then start ur engine. Leave it running for 10-15 minutes, switch it off then plug it back & start it again. FC shoot up, engine warning light comes out, car jerks during cold start, etc etc.

That's what I'm trying to tell u. U changed the crank sensor, and to a china made one. Unless it's 99.99% same as the German-made sensor (except for the Made in China stamp), then u will definitely face probs. And u actually let ur car go on for quite a while before u replace ur sensor, rite? There's a possibility ur ECU adapted that short period of time & is still using the same readings with ur new ECU. So as I said, give it some time. Let it roll, and see if there're any difference.

Come to think of it, the previous cases of PEs burning by themselves or burn while it's moving and claimed the lives of a few unlucky owners may be linked to the same problems. But most of the victims are female drivers, and female drivers usually know very little about cars to sense trivial symptoms like this.
Cheap things not good, good things not cheap. Familiar?

Yes, they have a spec guideline. But these guidelines are merely made in the sense that as long as ur car can run, as long as these stuffs can last u xxx KMs and as long as it's cheap, then it is 'Proton Approved'.

Why not? Let's say at standard gear ratio, at 4th gear 6k RPM at 220 KM/h. Let's say only lah. So most PEs become sluggish at 4th gear 5k-5.5k RPM, which is at 205-210 KM/h. Ur car climbs to 6k RPM/220KM/h faster and easier than other PEs that are struggling at 5k RPM. Which means it IS linked to the top speed.

that place haunted wan wor. LOL
Not really. The readings may be off a bit, just a little bit. Yes, there's no way the ECU relearn during the swapping process, but if the crank sensor value is slightly different, the sensor may give different reading to the ECU. U understand what I'm saying?

Let's say u're an English teacher (ECU), and u have a UK student learning English from u (Original crank sensor). Everything goes by smoothly, this UK student can absorb everything and can give u perfect responses when u ask questions (Smooth engine, no underpower-feeling). And then this UK student 'graduated' (crank sensor kaput), and u have a new Chinese student (China made sensor). This Chinese student, his English skills (crank sensor specifications) are somewhat poorer than the UK student (underpowered engine). He can barely understand what u're saying, and couldn't give perfect response when u ask him questions. So after some time u lower ur teaching pace to his level (ECU relearn) and then he is able to catch up more quickly.

I'm not FFFing them kids la... Blame the boss. 4 teachers there they all pool all the tutorial papers n pass it to me to mark. I mark till siao d that's why damn hot inside. Speaking of kena bully @ new job

The caps? Almost forgot about it. No need liao lo. I polished kaw kaw. Now smooth n cantik d

Petrol? U wan see?

Just taken today:

The mileage wont fool u

Guys, do u have problem with the aircon for persona?
My car aircon air is not strong and not cold even i adjust the setting nicely.
Is this problem is common or mine oni?
Any solution?
Thanks in advance.

Only urs I think. Everyone here their aircond is always too cold, never not strong enough. LoL. Perhaps u should go get ur aircond gas refilled...

Masuk longkang even better. If he total loss I get 1 year supply har mee from u. That myvi stock auto. Sure can tapau. Personal issues nia. If Hammie wan join also can. All welcomed to kacau this myvi.

wats up with this myvi? 

Can also. Go find him then. Kajang/Semenyih/Cheras area.
Damn serious. Personal stuff, but serious enough till it prompted me to do so.
Just keep ur eyes wide open while driving at the stated area. If u see that Myvi, u'll probably see the most 'yong sui' myvi driver ever.
chill man.. If not then jz go Proton ask them replace OEM wan for u... Impossible new cars come out with China made sensors.

wow xan  u r so generous ..... rm50 wanna this guy get damned.... hehe..... will try to look around my hometown if he coming here.... lol

actuali where he stay?he is gangster
