just got my bold yesterday

couple of questions:

1. whistle sound during 70kmh on the driver side
2. grrrrrr sound very noticable yesterday but today tends to be not so noticable but still got sound (player off)
3. klak klak sound ocassionally but hardly noticable while player is on

odo : 150km (need more run-in?)
fuel consumption : 11.7 / 100km

the handle is ok for me not too tight just nice for me to open.

for the whistling sound it must be due to to poor workmanship. Not sure whether the SC will ever replace them but I'll ask them when 1k service interval

anyone adjust the headlamp of the EB before? mine on the right side is higer then the left

just curious, current proton owners which type of oil did you use when you went for servicing?

syntium 800 or syntium 1000?

Thank you

the syntium 800 & 1000 is at 15w-50, isnt tht a little heavy for a 1.6 engine?

exactly! i asked for synthetic syntium 1000 and they gave me 15w-50, now my bold feeling heavy, i aksed them y do u not carry syntium3000 which is 5w-40? they cant answer me. aih

let repharse that, what i did was went for my 1st 1k service @ mutiara damansara proton (i believe this is the official service center). when the SA check my car with a some kind of check list form, they mark "semi-sync" for me. I asked the SA i want synthetic only. then the SA said your bold is design for this type of oil "semi-sync". tats puzzle me. i still press on for synthetic oil then only the SA mark it for synthetic. Now i did not know what/which vicoscity at that time cause the checklist shows - mineral / semi -sync / synthetic.

when i saw the bill wat was being charged, then only i saw it was a syntium 1000 (15w-50). then i asked them why do you not carry syntium 3000? that's where they can't answer me. so im stuck with the oil right now and thinkin going out to get a syntium 3000 and do it out side for the oil change.
