Is yr chronology of UNfortunate incidents still continuing?
At least this time arnd, it's an obvious event...no mysteries, rite?

The Reverse Sensors hv its own operating conditions eg object 2b detected must b at least of a certain width; it also needs "time" to detect & respond with its "beep".

I'd banged in2 my still closed autogate w/o any beep fr the Reverse Sensor that was installed in my ole ride!! No warning beep at all!!

ps. BLM/FL's RS's buzzer kinda "soft"...being behind carpet-like cover in rear of boot? Not easy 2hear esp with music playing...

Let's see wat this "latest" viscosity rec by Proton can accomplish...

Hopefully not much undue wear & tear in long run... However, that only time will tell...BLM/FLs still too young to show any such effects since new rec only recently in 2011!!

Yup, but feel it's a compromise for a comfort ride.
My previous 2 sets of Monroes were harder but better in absorbing all kinds of road conditions but cld feel the "thuds" of every bump! Very lasting tho!

BTW Good Morning, Malaysia!! Looks & feels like a good day ahead!! :hyperz:

Hi & Good Morning, Everybody!!

Btw where's everybody? No posts since 9:51pm?

Bad? Can b Good tho...if viewed positively...

Why? Cos BLMers hv-ing GOOD time! No probs with their rides. Happy...

Hv a GREAT week!!

Me made my longest trip in my 3mth old FL! Abt 172 km one-way. Mainly hiway. FC roughly 12.3km/L. Not bad, rt? For 1.3 Auto.

Planning 2fit auto-brake lock soon c/w press-button switch to unlock. Nuisance atm 4other half to unlock fr passenger side.
Previous ride had central locking feature allowing ctrl @ BOTH front doors!! A backward step in technology...

Btw will fitting such auto-brake lock void warranty? Seems it's OEM P&P module.

My sen's worth... GB Oil=GearBox oil; new brake fluid shld b bright red (Dot 3) or clear (Dot 4).

ps. Dot value is brake fluid std value.

Re brake fluid colour, as long as not dark-coloured, then ok lo. Pink=red=same diff! Haha!

Yup, ATF for ATs.

To those who hv yet 2discover the location of our BLM/FL's ECU module/unit, I'd juz found it! In 1 of my "Get 2kno yr car" poke-arnds!

Yup, 2clarify a previous doubt of whether it's by Continental or Siemens...it's a Continental!! And "Made In Msia" somemore!!! Wow!

Location of unit in car? Yup, in the car cabin...juz @back of Centre Console! Or shld I say @its FRONT end!
Look towards the empty space in front of the centre console fr base @driver's door side. See a rect flat metal box? That's it!!

Ok...tks a meg, bro!

Re ECU maker, tks 4clarification (again? Was it yu that time2? Haha! )!!

I did try 2find Model # on its label but kinda need 2b a contortionist 2do dat...

Added on July 12, 2011, 12:03 pm@vostro : Most SCs use 10W40 Semi Syn oil. If yr area SC allows it, then yu can select/bring yr own choice of oil.
However, do ensure it's Proton Approved ones or else yr warranty may b void!

Do allow me to explain why that question of yrs invokes a certain feeling in car forums...

It's simply becoz such info is provided for in EVERY Car Owner's User Manual supplied on delivery of the vehicle!!! Very Basic knowledge...for EVERY New car owner.

Frankly, anything outside of the recommendations & info provided for in the User Manual is @the User's discretion, decision AND RESPONSIBILITY!!

Sincerely hope yu can understand...

Pls do spend enuf time to read thru every page of yr User's Manual. TQ.

Added on July 12, 2011, 2:31 pmps. Many forummers wld juz simply IGNORE such kind of questions; like they were NVR asked!
BUT here yu did get a few responses! Not bad, rite?

Hi! Feel yu've misunderstood good intentions 2b hurting...very short answers usually cause that...

An analogy: There are 2 kinds of Docs. One tells a terminal Big C patient that he has only so many mths to live and he can only provide palliative care.
The other Doc says he can help by doing this & that procedure. The patient puts all trust in Doc #2. Undergoes all the suffering associated with the treatments, spends alot of $$$ AND still DIES AS FIRST DIAGNOSED BY DOC #1!!!

So which kind of advice wld yu prefer? Yr choice...

As in ALL decisions, Risks & Responsibilities are YOURS!

ps. As 4FC improvements, pls dun believe all yu hear or read...allow common sense & natural instincts to prevail, ok?
Hope above managed to remove yr "hurt" a little...

@ericmaxman : Quote..."it is the same case as people who has new gadget but don't know a shit about it,.... applying the same theory, it is advisable to read up on the owner's manual"

Yup, true...true...
That's wat I always tell my frens.
Their response?

"Wah! So much to read ah! Ask yu easier la..."

Haha! That's the Truth!

First find out wat is the "market value" of yr vehicle.
Normal advice is NOT to OVERinsure yr vehicle cos in claims the "market value" is the main reference.

How much below that "market value" rests upon yr budget...and yr probability of claim?? Dun go too low tho or yu might hv to make up for the amount NOT covered!

Re above, BELIEVE...

As is...Chk-ing back some pages, Proton, in pre-2011 Manuals, rec 20W50 BUT acc2 pics posted later of amendments in 2011 Manuals, it shld now be 10W30.

Most Proton SCs use 10W40.

Finally the choice & decision rest upon Owner/User's shoulders...

My FL is White, too! And I'm now using Perma Glass Polymer Sealant, rather than the everyday kind of wax... Works for me!!

ps. Used diff kinds of Turtle Wax for my ole rides BUT felt like a lot of "hard" work!

Nope. Dun think got yet...
As k_eyezax posted earlier : "....im waiting for FL version...."

Wld b great when available, rite?
Gonna b xpensive tho...

Good Morning, Everybody!!!

Juz to share...what I've discovered in another of my "Know Your BLM/FL Better" Adventures....

For those whose BLM/FL hv the "Immobilizer Chip" in their car keys but hv no idea what the chip looks like inside their keys...Here is a Close-Up pic of the inside of my FL key :

Note :
1. The "Immobilizer Chip" is the kinda pentagonal(?) black thing(?) which I've labelled as "I" in the right half (top right) of the opened-up key.
2. The Alarm Unit is in the left half in the pic. There are 2 batteries used...CR 2016...one on top of the other.



No more a mystery...when one knows, right?

Yup, FL = Newer Version.

Diff between Std & Exec? Extra features...pls chk those out via brochures, @Proton website or sales promos. Simplest...juz Google for it!

As in ALL purchases as a Consumer, the Decision is yrs to make...so are the consequences! Know yr Options...best by Googling more...hehe...

Good Luck!!

Good Morning, 1 & ALL!!
