Eh if you get ur number plate means can collect ur car already ar. Cuz the car must have arrive and you agree to the chassis number baru can get number plate one. thats why SA usually ask u come to the showroom to inspect the car before you go register for number plate, in case if want to change car still OK cuz the number plate will be locked to the chassis number when registered.

really?? omg, i got cheated from him. @@ he ask me go register together but never ask me to check the car.
He never told me anything about car, just said can go jpj get the number already. And the jpj people also told me don't need car first. If you have the prove u booked your car. then is able to get the number.
So if like this mean the number is registered or not? @@

then you get your car registration car yet? I'm not sure but my process with my SA is like this

1. I place booking fee with SA. SA proceed to order the cars from EON.
2. 2 days later, the cars arrive. SA call me to come to showroom and show me the car, we then inspect the cars, and then i choose which car i want. At this point the chassis number for all cars are known already.
3. I proceed to do checklist inspection (basically my list, as the SA's list is to be done AFTER registration, but can do his list "inofficially" also la)
4. Drive around the show room area to test the brakes, cornering, acceleration parking ability of the car. After this I commit that I want this particular car. SA note down chassis number and proceed with e-daftar and I sign it.
5. Next morning we meet up in JPJ. I got my registration card on the same day. Car is still with SA at this point.
6. After car number plate is ready and fixed. SA and I go to EON Service center together to do checkup. This checkup is the same as the periodical checkup as recommended in the book. SA pays for this. I think he did this cuz I was complaining to him about the power steering hose problem that the older model faced and asked him to prove to me that this car is free from that problem.
7. We go thru both our checklists, this time checking the accessories like antenna, radio, alarm, manuals etc.
8. I drive off after a handshake with the SA smile.gif.

From booking period + loan to getting my car, took me only 4 days to gaodim the whole process. Could be 3 days actually but I was busy on the 3rd day so couldnt make it to JPJ on time.

I bought from EON SA. Apparently I heard Edar is now overloaded with orders due to the raya rush....so might be a bit slow...

erm.. Then i will note down ur process, so at least I know what process must go through. thank you.
mine is I go buy the car on saturday, SA and public bank people come together take some document.
Tuesday, bank come sign and confirm.
Wednesday, SA ask what number I want, he go jpj take for me. Ask me some detaills and called me that he got the number.
Then now I don't know what he will do later.
Because I am not at my hometown, so cant keep contact him. maybe tomorrow check from him see what happen now. hmm.gif

I think he got a lot of experience in this as he was into car modifications too last time. Maybe that's why he got contacts for various things. Even SC he just walk in and the mechs entertain us immediately @@.

Was once a student at MMU Cyberjaya too, ah_ken is correct, the stretch in front of LKW is notorious for its accidents.

I've lost a friend there, the only black mark throughout my very happy 4 years there.

Please be extra cautious when driving along that stretch.

I shall be taking delivery of my white 1.8MT soon too!

Yeap, I was there when LKW moved in. That time everyday got 2-3 accidents, all at that very same T junction (the one with the traffic light now)

I think that stayed there long enough will know about the 2 myvi accidents, 1 almost got cut in half.

I buy from EON ma...Edar stocks have to wait longer tongue.gif

I think the numbers are really not in order. Mine is 3xxx, but on the documents its stated that its made and assembled in July 2011, my registration card showed the same thing. And it looks to be in much better shape than the other 8xxx chassis available (those got ngek ngek ngek sound when I open the door).

Btw, ur SA does have control over the chassis number to a certain extent, when he place the order for ur car, there is a pool of available chassis number for him to choose. When my SA placed the order, he placed an order for 3xxx,5xxx and 2 8xxx. When the 4 cars came, both the 8xxx look worse (one got ngek ngek sound when open door, the other engine sounded very loud when started the engine) compared to the 3xxx.

The 5xxx, is funny, its assigned to a 1.8 but came a 2.0P model pulak.

No matter what the numbers, seem that really come down to ur luck sad.gif.

guys, its a running no and it will cover a certain numbers/percentage of variants ; eg 800 units for 2.0 in may,400 MT and 200 1.8CVT and on daily production it'll change depends on lot like every day 60units 2.0 ,30 MT and 1.8cvt and next day change ,but chassis/frame number is continuos and next day different qty due to planinning.

and now since proton overstock, they stop suppliers for the delivery until yr eng. from aug .

What DM3 makes sense too, if that's the case, I'll just take xtra care of my baby smile.gif.

generalhwh: if you have any doubts you should still voice out to ur SA. Remember that they are earning a big fat commission from selling the inspira to us, and we deserve to squeeze every single ounce of service from him.

Anyway, how was the TT session ya? I OT until 6am....then sleep until now @@

My discount is more than that, with 5 + 5.

SA usually avoid registering on fridays cuz that day usually JPJ servers overload on that day. maybe thats why he dint register for you.

Are u going to choose ur number?

He keep lies, told me he registered and don't know what is chassis. then after now he said no haven't come and haven't register the number and he cant make sure the chassis number.
He said he register on wednesday, not friday.
But he told (LU) bank loan people, the car already got.
So i told LU that if you see the chassis number less than 6000 I will reject.

Keep trying to lie. So I want to change SA.
But unlucky you are from penang. I want near to seremban or port dickson.

Have you paid any deposit or downpayment? If you did then susah a bit to change SA. My suggestion is go and talk to the boss in this case.

Dont worry. I dint pay thing yet to him. Sure if he like this again, i will change SA. He not let me know also the chassis now, later i see the car if like that. I will reject the car. I pay but he show his bad service like this.

My Recommendation:
1. Complain to the management.
2. If the management don't do anything about it and you haven't sign any papers change SC.
3. Find a better SC that is willing to serve you once you walk in.
4. Note even if you have changed SC you have to see their working quality, the way they serve you, the way they follow up your car. Make sure they do what you request. My SA was able to get me the latest chassis number without defects. Just like how I requested. rclxm9.gif

On a slight slope, for example the driveway leading towards the car porch, the car slides backwards a bit when one releases the brake pedal to press the acc pedal. Same goes for reversing up a slight slope, in this case, car moves slightly forward. What adjustment need to be done here?

Ok, thanks very much your recommendation. Then I will see what he will later and complain for that.
Now he told me the car came, monday he will let me know the chassis number and everything.

So when I checking the car, am I can test it? So to confirm the car no ngek ngek sound. A bit worry for that.

On a slight slope, for example the driveway leading towards the car porch, the car slides backwards a bit when one releases the brake pedal to press the acc pedal. Same goes for reversing up a slight slope, in this case, car moves slightly forward. What adjustment need to be done here?

That's normal I think. Happens to my wira also whenever I release my brake pedal (even when I put my car to park and pull my handbrake the car still rubber-band a bit).

The brake sound is normal, cause it happen to all car i think. But before some people facing ngek ngek sound when pass through a bump?
So anything you test before you get your car?
actually he don't know business, he want call bank ask to use my phone, ask together jpj to take number keep telling me need add money, I drive him there and pay him how.
haiz.. nevermind la.. I sabar 1 more time. If he still make me angry, I will change SA and dont let him earn even 1 sen from me. at least give some good service, for my opinion.

Yeah for those in sales, service is utmost priority. Anyone knows that.

For me no ngek ngek sound, but there's a deep sound when i go through roads at high speed. I think this one is the road sound due to poor sound insulation as I notice this in the test drive unit as well.

I tested whatever that's in pip's check list. I also asked the SA to move about at the back to test the reverse sensor, and drove it around the showroom (the showrrom is also the proton car depot for penang island, so got one huge space for car biggrin.gif. Try turn full left and right, reverse, brake etc.

In the manual they mention service brake, service brake = foot brake?'

Its best if you can find a SA that also knows about techincal things in cars. But sadly most SA are not...they are more towards the selling the car.

If all experience it then I take it as it is.
The auto Myvi was the same but I didn't experience it when I tried Avanza. Hence I thought there might be an adjustment that can stabilise that. I am just thinking, with the forward transmission engaged and the engine running, then the car will be at stationary in the worst case scenario and pressing the acc will drive it forward without the slight backward movement. Is this some kind of shift delay or is it because without significant petrol being fed to the engine, there isn't enough torque applied that the wheels cannot overcome gravity pulling down the car along the slope? Compared this to engaging the car to a 'D' transmission on a flat road, the car move forward without pressing the acc pedal. Hence I think on a slope it succumb to the challenge of gravity and perhaps this requires the right adjustment? I am not sure.

Perhaps that's why they come out with brake assist.

SA usually avoid registering on fridays cuz that day usually JPJ servers overload on that day. maybe thats why he dint register for you.

Are u going to choose ur number?

I got the offer from Proton EON. However I agreed with the SA not to disclose the offer. so tak boleh cakap la tongue.gif.

Well, original offer wasn't that good. But I was bouncing off 3-4 SA's (3 edar 1 eon)and in the end 1 edar and the eon SA manage to offer me this package. I chose EON in the end because he was the one who was willing to let me test drive the car, at night and drive to balik pulau/teluk bahang and "trash" the car. Also, the chassis number that edar SA got for me is 04xx, which is god knows how long punya car (im suspecting that its 2010 batch). In the end both offered me same offer, as a matter of fairness I took up the EON SA's deal.

A lot of SA will try to offer you discount + 5 years warranty, but actually you can get 5+5 + discount, if you take normal interest loan package instead of the 2.33%.

Hmmm currently I'm using VAPS ALL....the bass is almost close to nothing loh unsure.gif .

Now waiting for call from the EON SA to inform me when the Mitsu Rims arrive brows.gif

Members what is ur current city FC now ar?

The SA was offering 4K Dis + 5 yrs warranty and on top of that the interest
is 2.6%(5yrs).
Suppose to meet him today and he called me at least 5 times but I did not bother to answer him.

Will wait for Aug Promo if there is any.

By the way thanks for the feedback.

Maybe its cuz of the 2.6% interest... Mine is the typical 3.x%. But the value of the service is already higher than the interest served so its fine for me.

Yeah you can't make it for the July promo anymore since JPJ is closed. Might as well wait smile.gif.

With the Amended Hire Purchase Act, which came into force on 15 June, no booking fees can be collected until the bank approves the loan.
Only then can the SA collect the booking fee of no more than 1% of the car price. The balance of the downpayment can only be collected once the bank has prepared the Second Schedule of the HP with complete details of the car and the customer has signed the Second Schedule.
The SA is then legally bound to deliver the car within 7 working days to the customer.

Of coz the above does not apply if one is paying cash for the car 

The SA can only collect the booking fee once the loan has been approved...not before that. Once the booking fee has been collected, the SA has to submit a copy of the booking fee receipt to the bank and only then will the bank prepare the Second Schedule of the HP.

Yeap most importantly keep your receipts and only pay the company by bank draft/cheque. Never ever pay by cash, no matter how small the amount.

this is my first time buying a car too. my dad drilled into me the do and don'ts for a few days...haha

hello kawan2.
saya nak beli Inspira 1.8E CVT.
saya baru call salesman saya tengok kat mudah.com tadi petang.
hari isnin ni akan duduk setable crite selanjutnya.

ni kereta pertama saya,
jadi saya takde pengalaman menjaga kereta,
lesen keta pun baru dapat minggu lepas. hehe.

jadi saya nak tanya sikit pasal keta ni,

1.maintenance service macam mane? maksud saya service tuh bajet lingkungan berapa klau sekali service?

2.minyak pulak mcam mane? klau full tank dari k.L bole pegi mane?

3.berbaloi tak?

mungkin ade soklan2 saya ni dah dijawab, tapi saya tak larat nk browse dari V1 tadi, dah smpai page 20, tak larat dah nak baca. hehe
harap2 ade org tolong saya.

thanks.

1.maintenance service macam mane? maksud saya service tuh bajet lingkungan berapa klau sekali service?
tak tau promo august cam mana, tapi cuba tengok boleh ambik sekurang kurangnya promo july, mana 5 tahun pertama servis free. main benda tukar ialah minyak enjin dgn filter. minyak engine kira kira rm100-200. oil filter...murah aje....


2.minyak pulak mcam mane? klau full tank dari k.L bole pegi mane?
rasa KL boleh pegi penang dan masih ada 1/2 tank.

3.berbaloi tak?
ya tapi kena tengok budget.

SA today told me that the CVT for the City that I have is not as good as Lancer. I asked him twice how does it work for Lancer, but his answer is just that City's CVT is older version, while Lancer is a new better version. I wanna know how does the CVTin Lancer works. What is the different in both CVT that prompt him to say this

The City IDSI has loads of gearbox problems, that's why Honda gave up and the new City no more IDSI.

Lancer/Inspira CVT gearbox is from Nissan. Nissan is the forerunner in CVT technology now and has been using CVT for queit sometime in most of their cars (in fact, all Nissan new cars have CVT option now).

So, in terms of CVT, Nissan >>>>> Honda. tongue.gif

No such thing not as good as lancer or whatever.

Although honda city uses a CVT, it is very different compared to the ones in altis, lancer, and slyphy.

Both are very different CVTs catered for different car sizes.

Our CVT is much larger to cater the larger amount of torque it can handle. it shows in the CVTF requirement. lancer, altis, nissan uses 6 litres compared to the honda city's 3.5 litres of CVTF

Dont worry, both CVTs, under proper hands, will be very reliable. it is the stupid honda SC that made this mess up for themselves when they put ATF in the city's CVT. smile.gif

Proton's CVT is from Punch automative and it uses a clutch system.

Well, the SA said that in time, the belt grip in the CVT gearbox for City will loosen up, and will cause major problem for the car. The problem can be fixed by changing the CVT gearbox.

Most likely Manual. If CVT, that was some craziness discount yo sweat.gif
Based on the price, i think it would be RM5k rebate

If I'm not mistaken (if I remember correctly la), its a fundamental design flaw where Clarion HU uses a single tuner chip, instead of to conventional double tuner chip. Unfortunately, most major brands of HU already migrated to use single chip. However being an EE engineer myself, this doesn't really make any sense... hmm.gif

Anyway so far in Penang, I have yet to encounter the sudden soft sudden loud problem...maybe my concern with our under-bass speakers overshadow this problem laugh.gif

I still wish our HU can support USB sad.gif

Btw, anyone bought door stopper/protector for their car front door? i realize when i installed mine...the back door cannot open. does this means i have to use the stick-type?

Well, the SA said that in time, the belt grip in the CVT gearbox for City will loosen up, and will cause major problem for the car. The problem can be fixed by changing the CVT gearbox.

This is total BS and proves the SA tok kok.... if belt grip is the problem, why does changing the WHOLE gearbox help?? Not change the belt or the grip???

I think most CVT will be using metal chain instead of rubber belt right since the tension will be ultra high? No sense using rubber belt as rubber belt can flex.

And pls show us the academic qualification of your colleague, or tell us he works in Clarion, AND that he actually owns an Inspira.... else he is yet another hear-say expert....

The volume issue is due to the single chip tuner solution, and these digital tuners will reduce volume when they detect static... Even Pioneer's Digital Tuner III (the one I am using in my old junk) does it... but not as drastic as Clarion, which i think had applied noise reduction way too much...

Also, XCInspire have gone to Clarion and changed THREE digital tuner chips... and in one chip, the volume dont drastically decrease, but the static is increased.... in the end, he reverted to the original chip as decreased volume is better than increased static...

So I rather believe an owner that HAVE changed chip and been serviced by Clarion, rather than your "qualified" friend...

The above is directed NOT to offend you Mr Munky... only to your learned friend... from Mr BLUNT himself...

It could be that their DSP filtering is not optimized, where the signal in the pass band got attenuated too much. If its a software issue, then its possible for Clarion to fix it in the future (if they are willing to do so). Otherwise someone will have to do some hacking. So far, I don't face this problem with my tuner yet...

They are willing, as XCInspire can be witness to.... its not the DSP issue, its mainly the tuner chip problem.... donno what setting they use... and i still think their noise reduction filter is too high, and this could have been set in the chip, thus the reason they tried diff tuner chips for XCInspire...

You will not have much of this volume issue if you drive in open spaces like arnd PG, you will encounter this in places with lots of high rise and in long highway drives, where there is plenty of signal loss due to deflection and blind spots...

In that case probably is the filter design in the tuner is non-ideal. Can't really comment unless we see the frequency response of the filter.

The tuner chip, we must use the same one manufactured by Clarion or there are alternatives? Anyway we can use back the dual-tuner chips?

Then he is qualified to say it...

But if he is in that field, obviously he knows that single chip tuners does have noise reduction when it detects noise, and for him to say that volume reduction when there is static = BS, almost equates him to telling us that what we are hearing every day and time when we drive our car is all in our head and its not true...

At least your qualified friend have admitted its the chip as the root cause... to which we, and even Clarion, have admitted as much... we have never said this is a Clarion "feature" but have always maintained its is a Clarion HU problem...

IMHO, its more like the filter they used is not the appropriate filter. I think they used a normal band-pass filter with a pretty big attenuation factor. Would have been better if they could use a weighting filter instead (where the pass-band gets amplified). I'm not very sure what is the constraint on their side, but i am pretty sure they would have taken this into consideration as weighting filter is a very important type of filter in audio regardless analog or digital.

Haha i'm not going to open up my clarion unit to experiment. If anyone want to donate to me, I will more than happy to dissect it and depending on the DSP chip and IF I could get their code...I might be able to do something. No way I'm going to reverse engineer it, its even harder to do that compared to reversing x86 codes....

Clarion probably intended this noise reduction to be a feature, but it did not function as properly as it should and in the end....it become a half-baked feature in the end.

Wah, you dad can join daredevil club di.. haha...

HU problem no solution yet. I revert back to the first/ori version as the other "fixed" units do not offer proper fixes (in the end the noise level is more unbearable than the fading volume) due to the board design and single chip tech. Proton and MMC (yes MMC cause they have to certify what is put into their CAN-BUS circuitary) "ok-ed" this design, so they cannot change the board design as it involves cost and unless more ppl complain to Clarion or Proton, they cannot justify the need pay to change the design. However I have pushed Clarion to try to proceed to 'jaga' their reputation... lets see if any updates but this will be months... sad.gif What I do like is Clarion did listen and reacted to customer's complains.

On why they use this single chip design is due to cost and its more accurate, most brands have moved to this tech. Maybe Munky's fren can shed more info to this.

To those having this problem, pls go to Clarion Msia website, click on Contact, email to their customer service to file a complain for this issue. Only then they can get the statistics of how many really have this problem. You can complain to Proton too (to get them to write in their buku 555) but the complain usually does not get escalated.

You will only have issues when radio reception is not good. The Bukit Bendera very high, perhaps the radio towers boardcast very strong signals.. haha...

@XCInspire, i get it at Brothers kelana jaya, rm78 ( stick it yourself price), if you ask him to stick need add labour charge.
indeed it small a bit but you stick it to most outside(like me) still can prevent scratch directly to our paint.
its a non led version, i dont like led version.

Eg for 2.0 is... What matters is the last 6 digits... A 6000 series will look like below example.

SA could mean 003444 - 3000 series which is nearer to first batch (and quite old batch, why still in stock?). You can ask for exact no, then PM k3nnykl82, he can tell you when the car is manufactured etc... There is no issue with 5000-6000 series, only maybe 60 units from 2000 series.

Now is about 11,xxxx series. Means there are 11K Inspira on the roads??! Wow... rclxms.gif

Correct number of digits is 6... prefix is zero in front... eg 011xxxx
So your 3444xx is quite unusual unless he meant 003444 as we may not have reached 344 thousand units yet..

Later I will call him and ask clearly. Thats why he told me is 3444xx, Then i wonder how to check the chassis number.
Cause I cant go with him and see the car now. sad.gif

But usually for inspira is the back 4 numbers, as the front 2 is still 00 as of now. maybe next year we'll use 5 number as reference liao...

MY SA let me test 3 cars, 2 is 8xxx and 1 is 3xxx. among the 3 cars, the 3xxx was the one in best condition. 1 of the 8xxx got creaking sound when i open the door, the other engine sound was very loud when started (rev wouldnt go down even after 1 min).

When u go see the car, make u sure u inspect properly including starting the car and going around with it....it doesn't matter what is ur chassis number, if its not up to ur satisfaction just reject the car...

Our testing took more than 3 hours lol...i went there at 5.30pm after work..we test and main main until 8 something at night....

generalhwh: i hope he din't confused chassis number with sales order number...

it all depends on ur SA and also ur location. I ordered mine from EON branch, which is also the stock depot for penang island for proton cars. naturally they do have a few "spare" cars there for the raya rush. Even before I place the order there's already 2 white 1.8 inspiras there, but those were there since april. when i went there to collect my car they got 6 inspiras waiting to be collected, and around 30 saga's (1.3 and 1.6 FL) ready to be booked. Got 2-3 exora's too if not mistaken.

Memang big la...this is state depot tongue.gif. They got 1 enclosed empty space (4 basketball courts) for customers to bawa test drive car in and turn like siao, test emergency brake etc.

I saw about 10 red TNB mitsu triton there also! drool.gif

I'll take a picture of the number of cars they have there the next time i go there brows.gif

Waiting for SA to call me when they registered the FLX car with JPJ.

about the volume reducing thingy, maybe i used the wrong words lol. its not BS. I mean the radio should not have this issue in d first place so the volume wont reduce suddenly everytime there is noise

Yes, I agree.... the HU shld not have such issue, and thus why XCInspire have gone to Clarion several times to find solution to this.... and yes, this is a chip and Clarion issue...

But then, some owners that have changed to other brands of HU have also similar problems.... maybe need more feedback from other owners who have changed to branded HU instead of those china based dual din lcd ones...

Waa...just a stupid radio also so much problems...sigh...but i think some other cars also has the same issue....right now, i use the China LCD HU for my Savvy, i think the reception is not as clear as my original Savvy HU...but it don't have this soft-loud problem.

I also complained to them about this... but... you also know how to say OLD ma... obsolete di.

If you notice old tuners cannot scan for stations so accurately, sometimes skipping some stations depending on which area you stopped your car to scan. Also the sound reproductions is not that crisp... This newer tech can detect a lot of stations when you scan and if reception is good, the sound quality is also good. So good that noise is also amplified... this is why some noise reduction feature is added in. Best way they found is to reduce volume instead of lagging the reception which may also not help.

Since munky's fren is in r&d for this, I'll let him comment his findings...

Why ur PRC LCD HU is not as clear and no soft/loud problem? Using old tech and cheaper tuner module lor.. makes sense doesn't it?

FYI, a lot of brands have moved their production or oem their products from PRC. Clarion retail units are also sourced from PRC. Only the OEM units which come with cars are manufactured in Penang. Yes, Clarion OEM manufacturing plant is in Penang, so pls dun laugh at the RM10 paper cone speaker, can anytime be better than PRC branded ones.

Unless you buy Alpine, Nakamichi or really high end HU, chances are the units are from PRC.

Its part of the HU on its board. Old tech uses a few components on the board.. now just 1 chip does the job. Sounds like downsizing... hehe... What a bunch of clerks do, now replaced by a computer, what a bunch or workers in assembly line do, now replaced by robots... More efficient but still has its down side, virus, breakdowns, etc...

Its not really CRITICAL problem la....its just some minor assembly imperfections only...Just make sure u test thoroughly when you first get the car before signing off the checklist. Most importantly the car is up to your satisfaction. The SA let me check since we have time to kill, and got a few cars there since they are stocking up.
Its really up to your luck really. Don't worry abt it too much....when ur arrive...check it kao kao...otherwise ask ur SA to repair the part which u are not satisfied with.

I still waiting for my sahabat eon card to arrive though... rclxub.gif

Anyway, are you still able to make it for the july promo?

Dunno about Myvi but on Inspira it is the microphone when you pair ur BT phone to make calls. You can answer calls, redial last number on your phone or end call using the buttons on HU. It cannot access to your phonebook. Its good enough for me.

I saw the new myvi have Mic, is it use for calling purpose? Inspira have this function? feel like very interesting.
all depend on my luck later. I will follow the checklist check 1 by 1, if not satisfied only ask the boss repair for me.
I talk to the boss, but he very friendly compare to his worker. I make the order 2 weeks on 23th july.
He give me that offer, now he not say anything i assume I got the offer? Maybe tomorrow or wednesday can take the car i think. The car already at there, but I not going back. need to wait saturday only can back.

Yeap you can answer and make calls using Inspira HU. Its pretty clear thumbup.gif

Of course lar, been making calls with it since day 1. In fact, i sort of got it working with VLINGO on my Android (voice recognition dialing)...haven't tested it fully...but i actually activated the VLINGO one day accidentally....maybe test again when i'm free.

NOOOOOOO......!!!!!

Unless you are WANT the audio quality to be way worst than the current HU.... no amount of fancy LCD touchscreen + GPS + DVD can compensate for the lousy audio quality....

Quite a few members have changed to those RM2K Dual Din Touchscreen GPS + DVD HU... that have fancy Mitsu logo when start-up... but mostly regret as the sound quality sucks compared to the Clarion HU....

Also, go to the ICE section and read QQMeng's feedback on the similar unit he recently installed... and he regretted it immediately.... coz u spend arnd RM2K for a lousy audio quality HU.... also, even Flyaudio sound quality is not on par with the current HU...

Think carefully, and think why you wanna change the HU??

EDIT:

Read his comment about the same china made HU that you are considering...!!!

You do realise that these are all unbranded China made HU wrapped in casing, right...??

In the link poadster sent out, check post 60.

For me, until you can afford the trusted branded ones, stick to the current HU. Our current HU is actually not bad. very basic but it does the job well (well other than the tuner).

Espec when it comes to ICE i never really trust china-stuff, Sometimes their GUI can be quite horrendous...

Installing the reverse camera is a good idea...I'm also thinking of doing that tongue.gif

Quite a few owners have installed, and their immediate reaction is the sound quality sucks.... so you need to consider your biggest wish from a HU... sound or fancy looks and gadgets...

For me, the SQ have to be good as I will be spending much time listening rather than GPS or watch movie (while driving...??)...

Mirror monitor can be cheap.... arnd RM300 can get, but need good quality ones where reflection must be good as this is a rear view mirror, must use tool when driving....

The ones I see are like heavily tinted and dont reflect images well....

The RM 1.2k i have installed in my Savvy is actually pretty good. Can watch movies, DVDs...good for educational DVDs for my son...he learn Mandarin on the way to school. Sound actually pretty good. It plays DIVX and i have down sampled some HD MKV movies to DIVX format which it plays flawlessly. Interface response also pretty good...better than dumb windows mobile 6.5 phones with resistive touch screen of yesteryear!!! Could have bought one under 1K, but dun have the size fit for Savvy, so have to buy this slighlty more expensive version. It supposely can link to a GPS remote receiver..and supposely receive TV station also, but i never figure out how to do that coz the manual is hopeless.
Still, pretty satisfy with it...but a bit expensive, IMO. But branded ones even worst...around 3K...

Hopefully, it doesn't breaks down after 1 year...sweat.gif...

Diff ppl have diff perception towards sound quality, I have listen to those china made ones versus our Clarion HU... and I can tell that there are HUGE differences.... so to each his own preferences...

nzh0920: if you need GPS and DVD more, and you can live with sub par SQ, then these china made ones are relatively bang for buck based on the total features built in...

Kenwood is the only branded manufacturer to include GPS nav unit with Garmin as package in the HU, its rather costly too... and be aware there are no BT features either.... others like Clarion digital medial player have BT but no GPS...

If there is one that have all (GPS, Touchscreen, BT calls and audio streaming, USB, and good SQ)... i would have installed it oredi....

To my long lost but found again friend, the rims was finalised with a protective layer of top coat to protect the final product.... feel free to cum TT and molest the rims on these cars: mine, Dessimo and XCInspire...

The only precautions you need is not to let the car wash ppl ever use those chemical spray on the rims (those used to remove the brake dust) to preserve the top coat... AND not to bump the rims against any roadcurb lo.... laugh.gif laugh.gif

Thanks for the info bro. Still feel like getting that done. The few times that dessimo msg me about TT (Sorry Dessimo!) I always caught in some situation where I can't reply, either driving or at some meeting or function and whatever. Kinda hard to pop by on Friday nowadays. No news on the absorbers ka?

Worth doing if you want to retain the comfort of the 16s, and the relatively lower cost of replacement rubbers...

You could msg Dessimo when you free, can arrange quickie TT so you can see the rims on a black car.... it totally changes the look to more sportier when moving, and tidier when stopped, compared to the very cluttered and bz look of it originally is...

good day everyone. today was a really tiring day for me due to alot places to run the whole afternoon and not forget i went to taman muda to help out daniel to restore a persona at the same time, the persona was done very well but too bad i didnt bring my camera along, what a waste.. before i reached back home, a friend of mine who called me to ask me to remove some of the scratches he hit the past few days. tho i was really tired and exhausted but my heart still burning when comes to detailing, instead having dinner with my girlfriend, i ask him to drop by at my place. upon arrival..

hit quite badly as you can see the clear coat and base coat have been peel off


at the same time i also found something..


let me test you if you can spot something in this picture

the answer is..


please click this link to read more of my post. cheers!


and also i found this interesting post from inspiraclub.com, i assume the original post is from here. i just wish to tell this person that your coating can be remove by compounding it.


I did PPS for my black Inspira early this month, & that was one of the worst thing I've ever done to my car (my car is not even 6 months old...). I understand that after applying PPS, the company claim that Ur car's paint won't fade & Ur car will get showroom-like shine for years. Plus, after reading some of the newspaper articles posted in their website, I had this impression that after applying PPS, you just have to wash Ur car regularly & any dirt or whatever you can just wipe clean. So I thought okla, since I dun really have time to really take care of my car & as most of you guys here know, black car can be very difficult to take care of.

I spend quite a substantial amount to have PPS for my car plus I added about RM120 for windscreen protectant (somewhat like Rain-X). That very weekend (I applied PPS on Thursday), watermarks started to appear on the car. Granted I didn't rinse the car over after rain. Ok fine, the company said they dun guarantee against watermarks. But since the PPS was so high-tech, I find it difficult to believe it couldn't even prevent watermarks from forming. & prior to applying PPS, my car didn't have any watermarks. Ok, so I sent the car back to the company & they cleaned it using a special cleaner costing about RM80 (after discount) & told me I should rinse my car after rain. Funny enuff, right after I got outta the shop, it rained & when I got home, the watermarks started to appear edi.

Nowadays it's rainy season. & my car has become sorta watermark magnet. Even immediately after washing, if it rains, watermarks would appear. & those watermarks will only disappear after using that special cleaner. So, instead of getting easier to care for, now I find that it's become more cumbersome & my car require more care than before. Previously my car hardly have any watermarks at all.

So I should've been a member with those car wash providing waxing service like Shine Shine or whatever. & I just wished I could just peel this PPS coating away. Haih...


A -ve review by a member from LYN......



you can remove the coating away by compounding it. dont worry, coating is still a coating, it can be remove and re-apply. watermarks are mostly caused by acid rain/water when its evaporate under the sun and the mineral leaves behind will cause serious damage to the clear coat. but when you say the watermarks appear when after rain, i must say the previous watermarks didnt remove properly. from my experience in detailing, watermarks only can be remove by compounding with a rotary (best result) i do not use any acid/cleaner to the clear coat cause its harmful to human and the car. to see further more of removing watermarks please visit http://prodetailing.blogspot.com/2011/07/w...pticoating.html

I've seen it on Dessimo's. Actually come to think of it, maybe I won't do it after all. When my tyres go out, I'll probably change to 18's or something. Our 16's aren't cheap.. CCC5 costs about 400 each? Might as well take the leap to 18's IMO. But I dunno how much comfort will be affected >.<

Funny enuff, right after I got outta the shop, it rained & when I got home, the watermarks started to appear edi.

    Nowadays it's rainy season. & my car has become sorta watermark magnet. Even immediately after washing, if it rains, watermarks would appear. & those watermarks will only disappear after using that special cleaner. So, instead of getting easier to care for, now I find that it's become more cumbersome & my car require more care than before. Previously my car hardly have any watermarks at all.

    So I should've been a member with those car wash providing waxing service like Shine Shine or whatever. & I just wished I could just peel this PPS coating away. Haih...
    A -ve review by a member from LYN......
you can remove the coating away by compounding it. dont worry, coating is still a coating, it can be remove and re-apply. watermarks are mostly caused by acid rain/water when its evaporate under the sun and the mineral leaves behind will cause serious damage to the clear coat. but when you say the watermarks appear when after rain, i must say the previous watermarks didnt remove properly. from my experience in detailing, watermarks only can be remove by compounding with a rotary (best result) i do not use any acid/cleaner to the clear coat cause its harmful to human and the car. to see further more of removing watermarks please visit http://prodetailing.blogspot.com/2011/07/w...pticoating.html
*
That's nice and all, but even after compounding, the waterspots will still appear if you don't dry your car after rain right? compounding is just removing the topmost layer where the water spots are etched, so that solves nothing. Glad to know that PPS won't solve my problem either, at least I won't have to waste money. Guess I'll just have to live with the spots then, and polish/wax every once in awhile. No sheltered parking huu huu.

the ride not so much different i sense.maybe a bit slow(mayb it was only me), but still acceptable. ride quality depends on your tire i guess. smile.gif laugh.gif but for me,still nice and comfort.

i dint ask how much was the top up cuz it was EON SC that contacted me, asked me how is my ride and whether I face any problems or not. I told them about the noise insulation issue coming from the road, they say they will check it out for me when i send it for servicing.

Anyway I plan to be there from start to end of the servicing smile.gif

I've seen it on Dessimo's. Actually come to think of it, maybe I won't do it after all. When my tyres go out, I'll probably change to 18's or something. Our 16's aren't cheap.. CCC5 costs about 400 each? Might as well take the leap to 18's IMO. But I dunno how much comfort will be affected >.<

That's nice and all, but even after compounding, the waterspots will still appear if you don't dry your car after rain right? compounding is just removing the topmost layer where the water spots are etched, so that solves nothing. Glad to know that PPS won't solve my problem either, at least I won't have to waste money. Guess I'll just have to live with the spots then, and polish/wax every once in awhile. No sheltered parking huu huu.

So this OPC can be an all-in-one shampoo? I went to ACE looking for a car shampoo..stumped by so many choices....ranging from so cheap to expensive...in the end intended to buy spannar for my battery terminal also forget...seems like our the size is 10, since i measure the width of the nat is 1cm....

any recommended car wash shop in penang? I see most are handled by bangla's.... sweat.gif

I'm lazy to explain why again if I want to avoid waterspots, it means I have to wipe dry my car EVERY morning due to my house location. My time is definitely worth more than that. I'll rather spend a couple of hundred a year to get it done up, than to waste 10-20 minutes EVERY morning drying my car. Just a matter of economics. Thanks for being willing to share though.

Zul.. you are shooting the water INTO the brake disc position directly. This cause them to bengkok

so far, i can tell you, Raining is different, coz it is not shoot into it directly when hot... it is just a water splashing into it and the disc will accommodate it while the rain started to rain. if what u have say so... so many car brake disc will spoil.

You will not interested on this upgrade as it is not a famous upgrade.

Famous Upgrade are such as Lancer EVO X bumper, Spoiler, Sound Proof, Nice Looking Rims, Good Quality Tyre, Lights, LED blinking blinking and etc. But this upgrade is a Lancer GT function only which is having side folding mirror function.

you can buy orginal mitsubishi folding side mirror (Original) that cost you RM 850 each side and its guarantee speedy that time, your mirror will not SHAKE. so both side is RM 1700. Installation is easy lo ( RM 1XX) ..but technically not so many people understand and know about it...smile.gif Colour spraying for cover RM 150. = RM 1850,

folding switch = RM 187 (original)

will u interested agian? heheheee. if yes... PM me la:) hahahaa

Yeah, if you ask me to wash EVERYDAY....die mang....now i wash most once a week, last week no time to wash, so becomes twice a week, must wash this weekend....somemore have to wash wax 2 cars...if take turn, die mang, every week also have to wash/wax car!!!!! But i got sheltered parking for 1 car, so not so bad....btw, just to share, i use Turtle quick wax every week, when i wash the car .. (except if i do major waxing)....pretty good. Can easily wash off stains and dirt after 1 or 2 weeks. Good for people like me who wants to wash own car, but not enough time....really hate sending my car to car wash...blardy bangla all do lousy job...worst scratch your car....

Nope, not that one. Mine is called something "Express Shine".

This one:

Not all in one lar....you wash the car first, then you wax it lor. According to instruction you can spray and wax it while your car still wet. But usually, i wash first, then wipe dry, then spray and wax. The wax is like water only, so easy to apply, no need to use lots of energy or leave swirl marks/smudges if not apply evenly enough.

I don't think wash and wax is very good lor...last time try before on old cars..but not turtle wax brand.

Oh... but the zip max is a cleaner right? So I use this zip to wash and clean first, then use this express shine to wax?

This express shine can tahan for how long? how often do I need to re-wax it?

The ZIP thing looks like wash&wax....you can just buy any wash only liquid...much cheaper. Tahan how long is depending on weather condition lor, the question is not how long it can looks shiny, but how long it can last for an easy wash and removal of stains and water marks....If u wash weekly, it's very easy, just spray water and you can see dirt flowing off from the rear already...i'll say washing every 2 weeks is not a problem. Just spray water, wipe a little bit with a microfibre cloth and it can be cleaned very easliy.

My routine is full wax (1 - 1.5 months), follow by quick wax(every week or 2 weeks). You don't have to follow mine, just try what think suits you.

LOL. I can imagine you could have used some SCRATCH POLISH WAX which eats into the paint...those are for old cars with oxidized coat and you want to remove it with hard cleaning polishing material...this is new car, use use normal wax...when you buy wax, there's indication whether it's for old car or new car. Just buy those normal or for new cars will do.

Btw, don't use sponge lar...can scratch your car one....

Old cars can forget about shiny lar.(unless previous owners takes really good care and wax regularly)...even use what also not going to shine...haha. Must get new paint.

Actually, i just use normal cloths for drying...but it's no good, can leave small tiny cloth 'hair' on the car....but i guess after the wax, dried, you drive one round of the car, all the tiny bits fly off the car oready...haha...but yeah, i think need to get microfibre cloths (needs a lot) or at least better normal cloths....other sifu got suggestion what needed to dry the car??

I use microfibre to wash the car now, dry it with normal cloth first round (too much water), then 2nd round wipe dry with microfibre, then apply wax.

Say, anyone has done changing the full sized spare tyres to smaller one to reclaim some boot space? I understand Lancer's one is not a full sized tyre...actually, is it the rim not full sized so the tyre is smaller? If we change to this, how to lower the floor? Does the Lancer has foam to raise it up like Inspira (but maybe not so high)?

Some has done this like Rublik... Remove the styrofoam to get extra 3 inch depth but you need to get acc shop to do a new board for you as the existing one will sink in cause the spare wheel well (the place where the spare tire sits) size is wider than the board as it was supported by the foams. Result is a damn huge boot space... worth or not depends on your needs. I prefer a full size tire more than the space.

Where to get the tires? Halfcut shop (about RM100) or order from Michellin/Bridgestore (at almost the price of 1 full size tire). Please take note of the manufacture date of those souced from halfcut (you will see 4 digit number - eg 3208 means week 32, year 2008). By right, tires have a lifespan (eg 2 yrs-4yrs). So its quite risky getting those halfcut sourced ones... imagine you get flat tire in some secluded place and the tires does not "work".

That's the price the guy quoted me. Since there's no official price list and it all depends on the various bosses at the shop, your experience might vary.

Considering Waja continental CC5 already costs around 180, i would think 300+ for 16" would be damn expensive

You can order it online if the stores don't carry the item or out of stock..at times they might have promo & it's cheaper than buying from the shops...google for the local meguiar's website to order as overseas don't send or sell to Malaysia..

Yeah, if you ask me to wash EVERYDAY....die mang....now i wash most once a week, last week no time to wash, so becomes twice a week, must wash this weekend....somemore have to wash wax 2 cars...if take turn, die mang, every week also have to wash/wax car!!!!! But i got sheltered parking for 1 car, so not so bad....btw, just to share, i use Turtle quick wax every week, when i wash the car .. (except if i do major waxing)....pretty good. Can easily wash off stains and dirt after 1 or 2 weeks. Good for people like me who wants to wash own car, but not enough time....really hate sending my car to car wash...blardy bangla all do lousy job...worst scratch your car..

edit:
checking at the michelin site, they dont have XM2 in 205/60/16. Only the primacy.

There's none listed on the site for Malaysia.

But i guess the best way to know is to check at a tire shop.

So when using ONR, i just apply it and wipe it directly like using a glass cleaner? No need to rinse? Can I use that as my "weekly"/"bi-weekly" wash?

Yes, just wipe and don't have to rinse. But you certainly need to mix water with it, something like half a pail. Can use for weekly wash. You can also use ONR for claying.

Sorry typo erro...... should be RM 300+ for the carpet, not RM 300K. rclxub.gif

So basically is like "mopping" the car lah.....mix like those goodmaid mopping detergent and no need to rinse it later laugh.gif Good good me likes, easy to wash. Just need to get tonnes of MF cloth.

In that case if my car is freaking dirty (my old wira 2months nvr wash liao), Should I give the car a shower rinse first before I use ONR?

then OPC is for cleaning tough stains/grime/tar?

Apart from convenience (especially so if you live in a place where tap is not available), it also takes lesser time.
You need two pails of water. One to put the ONR while the other to clean the cloth so that there is no dirt particle on the cloth to cause undesirable mark due to the wiping.

I would say if your car is camouflaged with dirt and dust, then the shower rinse should be done to prevent from the undesirable mark due to wiping.

Those are actually either QC marking or tamper-proof markings. Nothing to worry. All new cars should have this.

dont have to recommend, wash your car by yourself when you can do it besides polish. the key to keep your car in its best condition is by whether the owner willing to sacrifice some time to protect it. i'll be meeting a person there end of august, come drop by if you are interested.

OPC as known as Optimum Power Clean its a multi-purpose cleaner that can dilute to suit your needs.

for engine dilute 1:3 interior 1:5 for exterior 1:8

OPC is safe for clear coat too unlike acid degreaser that will leave whitish stain on it. power clean also can use to remove tar, bird poop, dirt, grime, grease and etc. just remember after brush with OPC must rinse quickly with a microfiber cloth. to see know more about OPC please read this link below.

From what I read seem that some of you got better offer. Please advise where is the best place that I can get better offer and anyone know any promotion for other variants 2.0 and 1.8MT?Need help coz this is the first time I'm buying a car.

Am i bad luck?

I just took my car 2.0p chasis 6xxx series yesterday morning.

Then happily test drive... about 70km....

Bad things happen to me... the ABS fault shown in my screen... It require service....

then another 20-30 mins driving... the engine light also shown in my screen. I quickly send back the car to the SC near by Jalan Ipoh.

Walao... they dont know what happening after 30 mins... they have no idea with those error light.. (That time i havent read the manual book yet because i just took the car in the morning!)

After that they asked me to Center of Execellence main branch to check! ok!... I must go lor.. no choice what...

What happen is when i am on the way to this USJ there, the hand brake light show on the screen! this is third light liao.... I starting to worry and the celcius showing at the bottom of "D" mode is 46..

Damn hot wor... is that normal?

Finally i reached to main branch at 4 pm. They said must let my car overnight there coz they close at 5pm.... I need to take cab back to my house... WTF >.<"

However i checked the manual book at night and found i m lucky while the car safely send to that Center of Execellent! It is quite dangerous while i quite speedy around 100-130kmh because the car look fine.

This is consider my first car because i bought it my self! I really panas hati and very disappointed with "P". I thought giving another chance to them as ppl complaining their QC problems, but my self kena gao gao...

This happen in day 1... how they can ensure it wont happen again such errors.....

However, i asked my SA installed the auto lock and gear lock only which is not affect those ABS, engine things...

I'll be BLUNT also. (learned from Poadster...hehe). Please don't do such stupid test. Not only it doesn't means anything ( how far can go depends where you're going....anywhere from less than 400km in city drive to 900km in highway fuel challenge. It all depends on the route you take. No two person's mileage are the same. Some crazy people even drive until their fuel tank empty just to test 'how far it can go', (and probably killing their catalytic converter or something). The fuel tank is 59litre. If you always pump in say 48 litre when the lights up, means there is still about 11 litre in the tank. What is there to know??

What you should analyze is the fuel consumption in city drive and highway drive in km/l. You don't have to drive till empty tank to know your car's fuel consumption. Just do the normal fill tank up, reset meter, drive x km, fill tank up and calculate...x km/litre pump in will be your FC.

If you know your fc= 9km/l in city drive, then you can drive another 99km with 11l, if your highway drive is 14 km/l, means you still can go 154km on the highway.

Anyway, there's a reason for the fuel empty lights. It tells you to fill in before it is empty. Just fill it in...why wait! In fact, it's a bad pratice to let your fuel gets low. Streess your pump or catalytic converter or something. So just pump in before the lights up!!

Sorry to hear that. This is by far, the biggest Inspira lemon i heard....my chassis also 6xxx. No problem at all. What you should do now, i recommend:
1) Make official complain, WRITE IN, get a signed received acknowledgement copy.
2) If they can't fix it within a reasonable date, write in again.
3) If after third time still can't fix (or problem re-occurs after fixing), write in again to demand change to new car. Also write to newspaper like the star or Malay mail.
4) If they don't do anything even after that, complain to consumer tribunal court.

Document all your write in properly to shows that the problems since day 1 and attach also the service done by Proton SC for the rectification as proof. All these can be use to show your problem persist and since day 1. If you don't document and write in, YOU DON'T HAVE A CASE.

I hope you don't ends up like that guy at kiafortesucks.com

Good Luck. And pls update us.

Am i bad luck?

I just took my car 2.0p  chasis 6xxx series yesterday morning.

Then happily test drive... about 70km....

Bad things happen to me... the ABS fault shown in my screen... It require service....

then another 20-30 mins driving... the engine light also shown in my screen. I quickly send back the car to the SC near by Jalan Ipoh.

Walao... they dont know what happening after 30 mins... they have no idea with those error light.. (That time i havent read the manual book yet because i just took the car in the morning!)

After that they asked me to Center of Execellence main branch to check! ok!... I must go lor.. no choice what...

What happen is when i am on the way to this USJ there, the hand brake light show on the screen! this is third light liao.... I starting to worry and the celcius showing at the bottom of "D" mode is 46..

Damn hot wor... is that normal?

Finally i reached to main branch at 4 pm. They said must let my car overnight there coz they close at 5pm.... I need to take cab back to my house... WTF >.<"

However i checked the manual book at night and found i m lucky while the car safely send to that Center of Execellent! It is quite dangerous while i quite speedy around 100-130kmh because the car look fine.

This is consider my first car because i bought it my self! I really panas hati and very disappointed with "P". I thought giving another chance to them as ppl complaining their QC problems, but my self kena gao gao...

This happen in day 1... how they can ensure it wont happen again such errors.....

However, i asked my SA installed the auto lock and gear lock only which is not affect those ABS, engine things...

ECU or sensor malfunction? I am sorry that you got this problem. Please update us, as I have yet to get Inspira. I am still waiting to setting some issues on my side, plus some promotion.

can I wipe it off??? its collecting dust bunnies.

I found out my car has a slight rattling sound on the driver side passenger sit. Anyone know what might have caused it??

Whats that white bar? tongue.gif Red marking is normal, red jelly thing looks like excessive grease applied there, but no worries on that.

Could the rattling sound be coming from the glove box? Leave it open to isolate the sound. If its the glove box, try stick some thin carpet-like padding on the little latch (both side has a catch latch that goes in when u pull open the lever).

Also the dampener should be secured to the left side, glove box should not just fall open but open slowly. Could have not secured, check with SC or we can fix during the tt..

Filing a case with SC is not enough. YOU MUST WRITE IN. If you don't you'll regret later if the problems takes too long to fix or unfixable. Malaysia is like this, if you don't bring the case to the heads or medias or authority, nobody is going to entertain you. Know your rights. Like my case with MAXIS, call in to customer service is useless, complain to MCMC then only they get their arse moving. You must do your part if you want a solution. You can also e-mail directly to Dato Syed Zainal as supplementary to your official write in.

Please let us know the fix to this. We can put it up as a sticky in the front page to inform others. Could be the abs module since that inpiraclub posting ended after problem identified. Hope everything will be fine with your car.

Lousy QC.

Anyway, I still have to buy Proton coz other marque are a lot more expensive and I don't really fancy Perodua models.

Tell them to give a definite date..who knows...1 month?? Now you can't drive your car, if me, i'll write in to demand a new car in exchange instead of waiting for the car....alternatively, ask them to give you a temporary car to use until they have stock!

P2 QC isn't neccessary better. There were loads of VIVAs with brake issues when launched....Myvi has a steering rack (or something, can't remember) issue, which P2 knows, but keep diam-diam. At one time the bottom of my old Myvi sounds like earthquake when going over bumps....it was a known issue, but they never bother to do recall until you go and complain, then only they change it for you. At least Proton quickly do a recall, eventhough there's only 60 power hose problems in the Inspira...

If I'm not mistaken, since the law ammendment for buying new car, we are suppose to get new car if within 21 days ( if not mistaken ) the car got huge problem. I read bout this terms before or you could check your agreement letter.

New car shouldn't hav this kind of problem, they should hav test it even before deliver it SC.

Just my opinion..

wao my mom car is just jinx... kena second time by other ppl... this time is at the petrol station. I was just going to exit the petrol station and i saw this saga drive to the pump, so i thought he will stop there and pump. But then he suddenly reverse and i stopped the car and horn him but he just str8 reverse very fast and knock the part on top of the wheel.

The reason he gave was he nvr saw me and willing to pay for the part to knock it back out. but my mom wan to change to new part as it is a new car. and btw he is a P driver still same age as me but i have renewed my license to component license. Got all his details but forget to get his hp no.

The summary is shud go and visit the fung sui sifu before buy car sad.gif

wao my mom car is just jinx... kena second time by other ppl... this time is at the petrol station. I was just going to exit the petrol station and i saw this saga drive to the pump, so i thought he will stop there and pump. But then he suddenly reverse and i stopped the car and horn him but he just str8 reverse very fast and knock the part on top of the wheel.

The reason he gave was he nvr saw me and willing to pay for the part to knock it back out. but my mom wan to change to new part as it is a new car. and btw he is a P driver still same age as me but i have renewed my license to component license. Got all his details but forget to get his hp no.

The summary is shud go and visit the fung sui sifu before buy car  sad.gif

I guess you guys with similar issue should create one thread and draw many people to ready it. It will at least light a fire under Proton's @$$ to get the job done.

I tell you bro, just complain and write in, later 2 months also no stock...this is very common for all cars, if you need to import parts, it'll take forever. Demand a new car for exchange, BUT YOU MUST WRITE IN. Give them 10 days to reply, then if no reply or not satisfactory, write to the papers and raise a claim in Truibunal court. In your letter, demand a new car in exchange and also tell them you will write to the papers and raise a case with the Tribunal Court. Then only they will take note and layan you.

I think the concern on spare part is real. Even I have not got my GPS and have been 4 weeks waiting. The thing is, touch wood, if the car has to be repaired with part replacement, how long will it take for the spare part to be delivered and we will be without a car? Spare part is one of the consideration when buying a car and this spare part management seems to show sign of falling through the cracks.

Probably we can go outside workshop and they can source it from Mitsu...hopefully...sweat.gif...but it not only applies to Proton, but all cars manufacturer. Usually Service Center only stock common small parts...expensive major parts, they won't keep...it's a fact. Nobody is going to standby with an engine or gearbox for part replacement...unless maybe it's mass market cars like VIVA, MYVI, SAGA etc....as long as the parts is not locally manufacturerd, you'll have a hard time waiting for parts.

Guys went to my SC just now ... they said the rattling sound is because of the front stabilizer. I think most of us are using the old front stabilizer. Proton is ordering new ones to change the old stabilizer which will be able to stop the rattling ... NYEK sound or NGEK NGEK NGEK sound. Please call your service centre and ask about this.

I had this unsightly fingernail scratch marks all over the 4 doors handle after 8 months of having the car...and the dirt hiding underneath the handle can be clearly seen if you look properly at yours tongue.gif ...I have tried to clean the scratches with soap, no luck...it doesn't go away easily sad.gif

After cleaning it with OPC (diluted 1:8 ratio) with simple brushing without any pressure...

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


The result is clearly magnificent, the unsightly dirt is long gone (basically dissolved by OPC), the same method can be applied to all the hard to reach spots that we cannot clean properly...keeping the car white and new looking... brows.gif

I bought this OPC (Optimum Power Clean) from KC you may PM him or call him at 016-2209227, Its quite expensive but it can be diluted and you can create a few bottles after dilution of these that can last a long time, worth it if you ask me, its a multipurpose cleaner for your car and more importantly its clear coat safe..

Since we are on taking care of the car paint topic now, may I ask about rain. Just another look at it. If it rains in the morning and you are in your office. There is a strong midday sun heat. What do you do to take care of the paint in this scenario? Just rinse the car when you are back home in the evening? Has damaged been done during the hot afternoon? You don't go out in the car park after the rain stops in the morning just to rinse the car right? I mean you are being unique at your workplace doing so.

I think many are in the same predicament... As long as you have some kinda wax/SG/PPS/PG layer instead of just exposed paint, you can wait till evening to wash it off. I don't think you can go wiping your car each time it rains, ppl will think you sayang the car more than your job, and your boss may tell you to open a care care shop and no need to work at his office. tongue.gif

However if you see tree saps, bird shit or any contamination, please wipe it off instead of letting it bake in the sun. If the dirt is too much to be cleaned, no choice but to drive to a car wash (simple wash, no need snow, etc) during lunch time. Don't spray direct cold water to the disc brakes though when still hot. May cause disc to warp.

dont think you have much of a choice here,I think its best to wax it bi-weekly if you can, as you are going to leave it out to bake like that...but do wash away any bird shit that you can see immediately...if not the stain will be etched to the paint, and need some detailing sifu to get rid of it...maybe others can help give you a better solution...

You can ignore or set the service reminder alarm to off. Google for the steps to turn it off or just go to SC to set it.

There are 2 conditions for the routine maintenance ie 10k or 6months whichever comes first. If it is near the 6 months period the reminder would also come on

Say, do you drive an Inspira??? Don't ends up like another Kyheng. Ranting online endlessly is useless. It's for wimps. Smart guys complain to the boss and the press.

For the guys that go to Senexis in Taman Mayang, do you guys usually make appointments for service? I normally send my car to the one at EON Jalan 226 but want to switch as Senexis is nearer to my place (the last time I called in Jan they said they don't do Inspira).

Just saw Sothys remove the scratches on car open door side, let me recall back the car when I test drive. biggrin.gif
Same scratches as urs, but after you remove it is very nice. smile.gif

Everthing related to multimedia or IT just complain to MCMC, like TM streamyx also. If not they will not take action. They will help you "checking" only. haha.
But go to car, I don't know who to complain. How if the boss don't care what I complain? go to press? what is the write in meaning? hehe..

Tomorrow you all go TT again? the Sothys have to share his special liquid. biggrin.gif

Actually, i dunno about u guys, i get EXCELLENT SERVICE from Streamyx. No kidding. Used it for donkey years, and is on the 4MB package over a year.....if streamyx down, just call in complain and ask for billing department to get your rebate. The guy on the other end of the phone, just ask how much you want. Asked and you shall received!!! $$$$.

My line got problem other day due to their technician after fixing the line (i think the exchange hit by lightning), Sunday also they send people to my house and fix the problem!!!

Streamyx service in KL area consider ok la. but at my hometown, it is suck!! the speed not stable, u use 4mbps, sometime u get 2mbps, sometime u get < 384kbps!! when u call they sure will say "oh, your place now having some problem." Btw last 2 weeks my house streamyx the DSL light not even on, keep blinking. Make me 2 weeks can't online. So how should I ask for rebate? go TM center?
But now in KL I prefer yes 4g cause I not download any movie, so ok and highspeed for me. thumbup.gif

For rebate no need to complain to MCMC. Just asked only, especially now that Streamyx has officially made annoucement of interruption, you just blow water also they dunno nor care to check. They'll just give u back the money...haha. Just say you can't access all these overseas site, so how? Rebate money lor... rclxms.gif

People must be aware of your rights, otherwise, big corporation will just walk all over you....last time a friend of mine write in and complain Air Asia service.....he gets a free ticket....haha.

Since we are on taking care of the car paint topic now, may I ask about rain. Just another look at it. If it rains in the morning and you are in your office. There is a strong midday sun heat. What do you do to take care of the paint in this scenario? Just rinse the car when you are back home in the evening? Has damaged been done during the hot afternoon? You don't go out in the car park after the rain stops in the morning just to rinse the car right? I mean you are being unique at your workplace doing so.
*
good point lacteavia. if is a protected car the waterspots wont etch into the paint that fast, you can rinse it and wipe it dry after you came home. if is not a protected one the waterspots still need a period of time to etch into the paint. waterspots will etch into your paint after a long period bake under the sun everyday as the mineral leaves behind after evaporated. waxing will be needed to prevent all these.

No I'm not. Currently I'm a Perodua user with Alza, Myvi and Viva. But will soon plan to get at least one Proton, either Persona R Turbo or Inspira. But might get myself a Saga 1.6 FLX as a stop gap if the waiting for launching of (a reliable) Persona R Turbo is too long.

BTW, ranting online is to warn others. Sharing (info/issues) is caring, don't you think?

If comments to warn others or sharing of info constructively is ok. What matrix means is kyheng's famous line "Its a proton, what do you expect?" and his other non constructive and non fact supported comments. If you check his comments in all lowyat forums, you will know what we mean. I could be wrong, but cannot be so many ppl.
