I see, i always been putting at 9pm or lower position for my a/c maybe that's why it feel satisfactory...

Hmmmm...could it be the cooling coil used is different in 1.8 and 2.0?

I dont think its the cooling coil.... i think its more the setting on the switch as the 1.8 and 2.0 is very different...

Keep it at 9pm position as that is your preferred setting, dont put is same as mine or you will get hot air....

Haha...yes sir it sure is...the best so far 

I tried at between 9pm and 12pm...wahlao...feel like sauna...hot-con man .

Anyway I'm surprised to come across this article...

http://star-motoring.com/News/2011/Proton-...iable-cars.aspx

Proton is the 5th most reliable car manufacturer behind Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissan. Studies is done by Direct Line Breakdown, a UK company i think.

I think that 0--10--20 meter changes depending on how much you open your throttle and how much petrol your ECU decides to inject if I'm not wrong. I've changed my meter to show mileage in KM/L, so for mine it shows 0--10--20--30--40, and it's very obvious that if I keep it hovering between 10-20 by being lighter on my pedal, my FC for that duration will read somewhere between 10-20km/l. If i'm more aggressive, or hit more lights, jams and bumps, naturally I need to depress my pedal more, so it usually drops below 10, and my FC will also drop below 10 on average. From my observation, I think it shows the actual LIVE calculation of fuel usage/efficiency. I guess those numbers are as the readings are being taken. If I coast down a hill without stepping on any pedals, it crosses 40. If I idle, it drops to 0. If I'm going at 30kmh, and floor the pedal, it drops to near 0 too.

Ooo...that reading would be better...how do you set that?

in other words, it is real time fuel consumption.

Yes, that is what I said it was.... this has been a feature in most conti cars for many many years....

finally done my 1st highway trip to kl!! I'm very satisfied with the power of the car..
On the way to KL, i keep speeding, end up FC nt very good... from full tank to less than half tank.. >< bt when coming back to Penang, i keep on cruising at 110 kmph which is super boring.... >< end up, i stil have more than half a tank of petrol when i reach Penang... haha!! ><
no whistling sound coming in after 140 kmph.... however, this car really needs soundproofing for the road noise....><

I notice some rattling sound coming from the front passenger side when going thru uneven road...not sure which part does the sound coming from... bt when i open the drawer, the sound is gone.... i tried removing everyhing from the drawer, still the same.. however, this rattling sound dont always come.. anyone had this problem before?

btw, finally i manage to install the lokatoo gps with papago! but its only papago X5. Anyone have the lokatoo gps on papago X8?

Rattling sound may come from the glovebox, try adding some foam pads or rubber stoppers at the areas where the sides can hit the body.... and also ensure the damper at the left side is securely fixed.... i recalled Snowfish's car didnt come with that.... make sure you have yours...


As for Papago, continue to use X5SE, its the most stable and fast compared to X6 and X7.... and has the latest map from Malfreemap, which is updated every 2 weeks.... you dont need to updated the maps that frequently, i do mine every 3 months ++... The latest map update form Malfreemap was 2nd Aug 2011 (Garmin map was updated 1st Aug 2011)...

X8 dont have the latest map as it uses Android based maps (R51, unlike X5Se uses R21) maps, it uses map last updated in April 2011, and next update will be in Sept 2011. Apart from the interface being diff, the map is exactly the same as X5SE, so there is no reason to use it over X5SE...

Oh ya, the route re-calculation in X8 is faster, but by one or two seconds compared to X5SE...

ADD-ON: It's called Papago! ONE on the screen of X8....

Yeap mine don't have. when i went to the SC at 7.30 the boss already standby with the damper in the box, within 5 mins gao dim. In the end, I reach 1 hour earlier than usual lol and balik still same time.

Btw, anyone can answer me about the radio question? (My mix fm channel always show breakfast with JD and dilly 6-10am even though its already midnight). And, is the default angle for the antenna optimum? These few days i guess hissing sound when i use the tuner....wondering is it the weather or my HU is working up...

Next friday TT hopefully can meet u all again

Thats the RDS - Radio Data System - the info there is set by the radio station... so if yours shows the same thing any time of the day, means the radio station didnt use the RDS properly lo...

And yes, local radio stations (esp the Astro owned ones) will promo their breakfast belt only... change to Hitz and MyFM, same thing....

ok...then is that TA (traffic) feature available in Malaysia?

well, for the 1.8 it comes with diffrerent indicator function with heater thts why need to turn it 9pm n below for coldness. if put towards 12 thts hot air comes in. nothin wrong just had the system for cold countries being used here

Sigh, I thought Proton would have known to customize it for local use...

they cant touch most of the things. especially the drive train and ECU. good thing that they cant..just suspension also made such a big blunder

also, auto climate control and normal ac, the way they work is completely different.

the manual ones uses a rheostat and the auto ones relys on the cabin temperature to adjust the coldness
