So engine sound like diesel engine means iafm kong? Mine sound like that since day 1.

-------------------

Can claim warranty or not for my iafm? If can should i claim right away or wait for 1000km service and claim?

FLX 1.6 vs LPLB
FLX 1.3 vs LB

then only it would be a fair comparison.

and Area51SE, did the person who do the comparison test in your thread owns both FLX and Myvi LB?
you buy a car to sleep or to move from point A to point B?

-.-

A little bit of both, I actually tried napping in the showroom before booking one rclxm9.gif I thought it was comfy enough, Last night actually sleep at RnR, need to adjust seat height. Now need to add pillow cool2.gif

IIANM, proton SOP, SA should provide you with chassis number before you pay down-payment and sign agreement

Now the drive. The new Getrag Manual transmission feels right. The engaging of gears smooth, albeit the first and reverse gears need a more firm push to fully engage it.

2) Suddenly, my Proton alarm beep was spoilt today? Usually when you lock it will beep once, and if you unlock it will beep twice but now silent...... Will settle this on Thursday as well.

OIC.

Mine also need to pull properly to engage reverse gear.

For alarm beep, can chose to have beep or not. Press and hold both alarm button and lock/unlock button to select.

This morning Proton (i-care?) called ask for my feedback, ask me to rate 1 (very unsatisfied) to 10 (very satisfied) about my experience when buying proton cars, like spirit of SA, speediness of car delivery, branch office condition, test drive experience, options of financing, etc. When I rate 4 (unsatisfied), she actually ask me to elaborate. So proton actually care about all this? When I say I don't have proton i-care & 24-hr assist number, got sms for the numbers.

Anyway just sharing, when I book the car, my SA ask me to sign agreement and tell me 'don't know yet when will get your car' but I demanded he provide me chasis number before sign agreement, because already call i-care, they said get chasis number before sign agreement. Got the chasis number, got the car 1 week after sign agreement.

care to give me the icare number?

i dont have chassis number. but i did sign the loan agreement actually, the SA sent my documents to bank and then bank contacted me. from there on, only me and the bank. my SA only did 2 things, play badminton when I came to his place to submit remaining documents that i forgot to bring earlier, and cancel appointment with me due to his son sick, which actually he never told me that he cancel..luckily i called him first that time, else went to shah alam for nothing.

those who baru got their new cars; if you got the chance to take the car for outstation/long distance travel, by all means go ahead and let the car "loose" a little bit while you also enjoy yourselves.

my FC results lately after I am back from Ipoh last week has improved tremendously.
On top of that, my Petronas Syntium must be damn black by now (300km more for second service) but after the trip the engine and throttle response is damn good. biggrin.gif

Since my FC improved already, I am now testing something. brows.gif
*
yeah, first day got car already drive 200km, within 2 weeks did my first service at 1200+ km. Don't know why people say FC is bad, but I only feel-feel, don't actually measure my FC though.

7 weeks waiting for my SA with no effort to update me on anything. might as well give some "good" feedback rolleyes.gif

get chassis number don't mean get car immediately, only mean a car is reserved for you(in proton internal database?). still need to ask when will get car. sometimes what they mean ready stock, the stock might be hundreds km away.

Just now when unlocking car, got into car found the alarm reset button blinking like this (beep, beep, beep, pause, beep, beep, beep, pause, repeat), after that cannot lock car, buzzer just buzz 4 time. Since can start car, just drive to destination, but the button keep blinking. After arrive, get out and can lock car already, the button not blinking anymore. What happened?

today i get back my car after sent for warranty on 23/10/11 (CVT problems)
Proton change 1 to 1 the gearbox..
total cost CVT Transmission= RM12,750
              CVT Fluid            = RM40 per unit x 5 = RM200
                                       = RM12,950.

huhu..nasib baik ada warranty.....

So almost a quarter of flx price is for gearbox alone?

tomorrow going to Proton COE for checking. few thing stated for my diagnosis which is :
1) Engine jerking during slow cruising (traffic jam)
2) Engine jerk during car idle
3) Gear knob too tight tongue.gif
4) Driver's door chicking noise during open/close
5) CVT light turn on last 2 month
6) Engine krut krut sound when cruising between 80 to 90 kmph (might be IAFM faulty)
*
2) Means like engine semput-semput during idle? Since most time drive on highway, it did not happened too often to me, usually at traffic light but few times after paying toll engine mati when at first gear, semput just in time when pressing pedal doh.gif

Mine is manual, I mean sometime engine semput when waiting red light, at neutral gear. DBW delay is when starting to accelerate only at first gear, am I right?

yup, only on first gear.

N also semput... sweat.gif
Maybe you can try vroom vroom more so that the ECU will set itself to be more "vroom vroom" oriented and the rpm during idling will be higher?


Added on November 24, 2011, 12:50 amwoh shi- can move thread liao. Tapi itu Toyol tengah tidor. sweat.gif

Not always semput one, may be for 1~2 seconds only, will try "vroom vroom" anyway. On highway also drive 90kmh only sweat.gif lorry speed limit
