Yeah if only Proton were to come out with the Citroen DS3 design with E-01 engine.. It will be the most legendary model ever built..

High potential.. Heck, if they sumbat that E-01 engine into Inspira & call it Inspira MME or Inspira R3 or Inspira Race also I wouldn't mind buying.. laugh.gif

QUOTE(Cavino @ Aug 3 2011, 11:29 AM)
Actually from everything I've read and discussed with ppl with these technical backgrounds (I still newbie...),

Conclusion : Never never do engine flush UNLESS you're encountering engine issues that requires it (meaning last resort, no choice).

In lots of cases especially those that have lots of contaminants and sludge, doing flush might makes things worse. Flush will lossen those solid sludge. Where do some of these sludge go since its heavy and doesn't float? When you flush it, it will go thru oil passage, pumps, tubes, drain holes and chances are high these heavy solid will just stuck there.

If you're lucky and don't have much sludge to begin with, you might just make it. As do some of those that have already done flushes.

If any of these sludge do happen to get stuck in just any one of the above places, you're engine will kaput. When that happens, you will have to do a major overhaul....assuming it did not damage your engine enuf, if that happen, new campro CPS coming. Chinese proverb, mou si wan si lei chou meaning creating problem when there is none in the first place.

Another theory include using flush oil. Flush oil are very powerful solvent meant to loosen those sludge. There always will be a couple of % leftover in engine after finish flushing (not 100% will come out). Imagine those mixing with your engine oil and what it will do to your engine long term...go figure.

Excerpt for NBC Los Angeles says it all.

""After engine flushes, there's a pretty high incidence of some damage to the interior of the engine," Chris Martin of Honda tells NBC Los Angeles.

That's why Honda issued a memo to mechanics advising them not to perform engine flushes. Other major car-makers, including Ford, General Motors, and Nissan have all issued similar advisories against the service.

Why? Over time, gummy deposits can build up inside your engine. The chemicals used for engine flush, are supposed to break up those deposits. But car-makers say, pieces of that broken up sediment can clog up other parts of the engine and ruin it."

At first I read it I thought u were saying no shit find shit to make laugh.gif

Engine flushing shouldn't be done if ur car isn't experiencing problems from sludge buildups. So far in my life I've only heard 2 cases of engine flushing, one which is done on my friend's mother's car that had went unserviced for 4 years or 35,000 kms, and another one which I've seen myself at the workshop where it was carried out on a Saga 1.3 carburettor engine. Also lady's car. sweat.gif

Conclusion, unless u're a lady who doesn't service ur car at all but drives a lot, flushing is totally unnecessary..laugh.gif

Anyway, I had this funny experience once.. I was at an accessory shop looking for ICE stuffs to plonk into my car.. Then suddenly this lady drove her Myvi out of nowhere right into the shop where they usually park customers' cars to install stuffs.. So out of curiosity, the boss asked the lady if there's anything that he can help or what she wanna install.. She selamba je told the boss she wanna service her car..

...at an accessory shop..laugh.gif I dont know whether to laugh or pity that lady.. laugh.gif

eh but nowdays some accessory shop doing oil change service, or the other way workshop selling accessory....especislly at small twon areas.

I know.. But those are usually very small accessory shops that sells stuffs as their side income while they include services.. This accessory shop, no hydraulic jack, no engine oil no nothing.. Purely the kind that does tint & ICE, alarm system type.. doh.gif & everywhere is air conditioned there, even the installation bay.. U just imagine driving to a shop like Brothers' & asking them to service ur car for u la..sweat.gif


Added on August 3, 2011, 12:21 pm@Ngeo, the best way is to regularly check & service ur car for sludge buildups.. It is definitely cheaper than an early overhaul, no? smile.gif

wei....Brothers at Kelana Jaya can change absorber, break pad and disc, install CAI, they have planty of jack and stand infront of the shop i belive they can change engine oil because they also selling engine oil...... brows.gif

Yes, they do sell engine oil but they do not provide car servicing. If u dont have a proper oil waste drainage, it's not a proper car service centre. Absorber, brake pad brake discs CAI all these are considered car accessories bro. But changing engine oil in an accessory shop? They don't do it because it's too messy. Heck, if there's a bloody tyre & service shop next door with proper hydraulic lift & waste container, why don't u just service ur car there instead? If u've been to an accessory shop, u'll quickly realise that they sell many things that are related to car performance, aesthetics & handling, but all of which are plug & play. Ok, perhaps Brother's wasn't such a good example. Hmm.. Maybe EA at bukit jalil? Drive there & tell them u wanna service ur car? rclxub.gif

I even know an accessory shop that sells rims, but they do not offer installation there. No proper equipment mah.

Hi ..

New Persona B-Line Broze Garnet (A) reporting in .  rclxm9.gif

Just got my car last Saturday.

If u drive alone and turn off the radio, i can hear cit cit sound at the back and trr trr sound at the bottom left front windscreen ( at the tip of our wiper ) mad.gif

Also, (1.) at the 1.6 word at the back already missing mad.gif
- already ask the SA to give me the (1.) word and will DIY
- btw, isit possible to DIY ? i dont hv time to go SC bcos of work.
So, now I want to seek advice which tinted is good ?

I'm prefer black and can reject most of heat during hot days.

Also to protect the dashboard from UV as well..

Hello, member no. 249!! smile.gif

cit cit sound at the back? From where? Since ur car is a BL, u dont have foldable seats so very unlikely the noise is from there. Check the rubber linings on the doors to ensure the noise isn't caused by friction. The vibration noise u hear on the bottom left front of ur windscreen could be caused by a loose bracket on the A-pillar plastic cover. I knew the problem was there for a very long time, just still couldn't figure out what can be done to permanently hold the bracket so that it wont move & make noise.

The 1.6 word can be DIY, but u should remove the remaining letters before sticking the new ones in. And the removing part is where u had to be careful because if not done properly u may accidentally remove the clear coat together with the letter. Which is not good.

Thanks Xan..

Will take note about the sound friction at rubber once I get back from work.

As for now I noticed that the rubber fitting at the pillar between 2 side windows( between large & small wan there got 1 separator line ) is not fixed in its place..might be one of the reason of cit cit sound. haiz

As for the front side trr trr sound how do u solve the loose bracket on the A-pillar plastic cover temporarily ?

Thanks bro      notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Pull our the A-pillar plastic then stick the bracket with small tapes to hold it in place..

Sad case , due to my *need to be perfect midset* , the front pillar cover panel has been solve but it cost me a clip (white color) which I pull in and out solving the rattling sound . The clip almost destroy by me , in the end I need to use double side tape to hold back the panel. Hope the panel won't fall off suddenly. So pls be gentle , the plastic is so  doh.gif    if any one got sound on the front pillar tape up all the clip and ur done smile.gif

Waa.. With internal trims u really need to be careful la bro.. Clips are easily broken.. Especially the interior trims, door pillar plastic, door trim, etc..

The frontpillar next to the windscreen is the A pillar. The middle pillar in between of front & rear door is called B-pillar.

Proton alarm is not that bad bro... tongue.gif

They need extra higher power transponder bypass kit to "tarik" the RF signal because Proton is using those ultra low frequency RF in their transponder.

For Toyota / Honda, you don't have to place the immobilizer chip near the receiver in order to crank your engine. But in Proton, the chip must be very near to the receiver only to deactivated the immobilizer.

It's not a bad thing afterall.  tongue.gif
