Correct me if I am wrong but I seldom come across people complaining about the reliability and durability of the Campro engine. All the complaint I heard are lack of low end power and high FC. Correct?

Thank you for the reply...its a relief to hear htey have tested the car to 2500000 km. My 5 yrs of using the current car is  only 80k km, never miss any oil change/ filter change, follow the manual religously.

Fuel fc i heard is around 10-12L per 100 km, is that correct?

What about the internal i.e dashboard, kerusi, bla bal, any issue (since the first launch)?

Sorry a lot of question la bang...As i mentioned not so rich have to be careful lah  

might be a bit too early to ask......but anyone knows how much is the cost of replacing the CVT GB if it is not working anymore and outside of the warranty period?

hmm...seems like this is no cheaper than City CVT...

im my BOLD for about 1 month orady, 1000km service done,

x satisfy with the fan, after i off the engine, still the fan turning...is it like dat...?how frequent the fan turns,,..?

I dont mind the fan keep turning after off the engine, but just cant stand the noise it produced.

Sometime it just embarrassing...

i tot if engine running battery connector loose also wont stall the engine?

Hi, am first time posting here...hv obtain much guidance n info from everyone focusing on Exora Bold.

Got my Exora Bold (EB) late Feb 2012. Did the 1st 1000km service 3 days ago.

Kudos to Mat79 who hv been consistently providing informative details on how to "understand/drive" the EB.

Before 1st 1000km service...
1. wheel steering is not in straight position when driving a straight hway. (alignment was made by SC. (better now))

2. the kraa,kraa,kraa sound happened when hitting a pothole or going over a sharp speed bump. (SC tightened "something" on the suspension. so far, no more sound but still has to be mindful of potholes n bumps.)

3. Unable to set the ODO / Trip A n B/ DTE / AFC / IFC display. (SC reset the MPV's computer system...thus ok now)

4. Noisy cooling fan, after ignition is switched off. (very normal was told, no choice...)

5. Both side mirrors have limited adjustment space. (manufacturing shortfall...i guess)

6. SAT is useless. (for better pick-up?...no way)
When going for yr 1st 1000km service...tks to kochin who alerted me on the magnatec.

a. Change the engine oil (syntium 800 10w30), oil filter n gasket drain plug, total cost RM 124.,
brdown as 1st 3L -rm78, 2nd 1L - rm30, oil filter -rm12, gasket drin plug - rm4
(SC wants to add the magnatec which will cost another RM40-rm50, ...never tell me why n what is going to do to the engine? )

b. Not many customers if go before 8am but the service advisor is not up to par...not so friendly n not willing to hear our problems on the MPV (oh, btw, was at the Puchong SC).

c. What I did was to ring up my sales dealer to have him to talk to his "friends"at the SC. (at least attention can be given to my MPV)

d. SC reminded me to go back for service on the next 5000km. (btw, can someone enlighten whether the semi syn oil, mentioned above, can last for 5000km or 10,000km)

Conclusion
1. am so far satisfied wt the power of the engine...once it hits 60km/h n rpm at 2 or more, this MPV can fly...
2. don't expect good pick-up...when stationary.
3. spacious for my family for balik kampung trips.
4. value for money...if u dont mind the badge....i am not...but hv seen the Transformer Prime badge on other EBs.
5. still monitoring the fc...am driving abt 50km daily betw home n offic...(city driving consume more..)
6. the front windscreen view is wide. (did EB owners notice that u cant see the front bonnet of the MPV no matter how high u climb from the seat to the dashoard)
7.  the rear mirror wt the camera is comfortable n clear. 

Thats it...until next time.

i just went for my first 1000km service today... my SC gives me syntium 800 10/30 and tells me to come back at 10k because he told me according to him free service for bold is 1, 10 and 20k... if i want to do 5k he says no problem but 5k all expenses on me...

i check my service booklet... space for chop is only 1, 10, 20 and so on.. i guess he's right???

No coupon.

they know because every car is given the free services...??? heheh computer kan ada

install ultra racing in your exora for better handling during corner.. hohoho.. front strut, front lower bar (4point) and rear lower is enough.. anti-roll bar too expensive.. huhuhu

I already installed front strut n front lower n rear lower.. Feel much more stable during corner.. For saga blm i install front strut.n rear lower.only.. Btw, who drive saga for offroad? U go for rally ka? Hohi

halo... JDM car speed limited to 180-185kmh ler..  after speed cut is electronically removed, you think 3.5L V6 win or your 1.6 engine? 

drive so fast for what? ingatlah orang yang tersayang

Is this true!! because I just take my car today and on the way home I can smell smoke inside the cabin( a little bit ) and then when I arrived, came out and bau asap so strong!!    I thought it was the brake, but after read your comments 

I not sure...how to know? havent read through the manual book yet 

btw, check already myself, the hose is okay and there was no check engine light indicator appear, so it must be the brake because of hard breaking xD cant resist to rev 

hi mr aliern,

im using circulate. i still able smell a little lorry smoke from outside when waiting traffic light. or smell mee goreng when pass by food stall.
when filling petrol, i can smell heavy petrol come in to my car. ya, i didnt turn off my engine n keep my aircon on, hehe...
have u guys got this experience before? can sc fix the problem?

im driving exora bold. i think its same as other exora bold owner right? donno they got same problem or not.

how to check its compressor problem?

Same here, just got the car yesterday and sometimes can smell like sumthing burning, but check engine temperature is normal at 5 bar, maybe because the brake pad quality? 
The issue about smell of petrol inside cabin after fill up i think is normal to all proton car, my neo also has this issue and until now no problem occur related to that

Thanks    hopefully you will get your car as soon as possible

thing make me worried about my EB...orady 4k plus2,

today the engine stopped suddenly at traffic light, dunno why, luckyly can restart the engine....

pleaseee....what happen???

i noticed the symptom, especially once the radiator fan start to run, got my engine show a sign to off.......last few week ago..,,

and today.....it happend......let me know .....very scared la..if it off while the car run fast......

i think that it is not the connector that loose..since when the engine is already started, u can drive the car even without the battery..since the alternator is supplying the electrical..

temp fine, only 3 bar.....but dunno la about the connector, i try chek,.

well...diablo, yea..u describe well....same....hopefully its about d  batteryconnector only...
