yeah agreed, mention before even my jap cars can swap battery when engine running.. but he keep insist it's battery connector.. maybe it's a proton thing? 

unless you have anything concrete, your statement doesnt mean anything..

for that price tag, i am very happy for now. Nobody knows the reliability and durability of this new car engine. you just have to balance out what you get and what you have paid. The next nearest competitor is Innova which has 30k extra to pay. Innova is obviously better NVH than EB in terms of NV. Handling part, i would say both are equal.

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.

i guess so, that is why im sticking to 10-30 for now. i got an fb pm from proton i care saying that 10-30 and 10-40 can be used. but im sticking to 10-30 . but one thing lah. 10-30 , is sooo thin... so post service, im adding revooil to it ( can buy from eneos , 28 bucks . ) i told my mechanic,, that some other centre poured 15-50, and he was quite shocked.

New small engine normally my mechanic suggested 5-30 or 5-40, after 100,000km then change to 10-30 0r 10-40.
Normally I bring my owned Mobil 5-40 for service. Even my 1993 wira still feel smooth. Engine tip top but all other part 'goyang' already (macam nak tercabut). 

Guys,
Sorry a bit out of topic, but i've heard someone from outside saying that Exora Bold CFE:-

underpower - body besar...kalau naik genting nak tergelonsor ke belakang.
enjin kete 'manja'..takleh berendam dlm air even slight flash flood - terus jem (mati enjin)
sparepart susah dpt
any comments guys? coz i'm considering seriously to take exora bold cfe for my 2nd car...

Hi guys, I've been following this thread for quite a while, pretty interesting & informative 
Actually, I'm local here in CH. So, yes indeed, my wife CFE doesn't lock at slopes, even if u engaged
to "L". The best thing to do is by using the handbrake. If you already so used to it, then I would only
balanced by gas pedal & brake 

Anyway, my wife received her EB since CNY time, all this while it's been serving us well, until last week on my
way back from KL, autocruise been activated at that time , suddenly autocruise switched off by itself! Then I
accelerate, but RPM meter goes to max (8k), CVT lights up (but engine runs as normal). When this happened,
I found two things, air con stop working (hot air) & when I try stepping on the gas pedal, the car is move forward
in slow pace.
It happened quite often after that, when the RPM meter goes back to normal position, everything's also back
to normal!
Now, my car is in Ipoh workshop for investigation. Wonder if anyone experience this..

Well, in CH we dun have any SC here, even other brands make    The nearest SC ppl here go is either to Tapah or Ipoh. I bought
it from Ipoh SA, so I preference is Ipoh due to better route condition. 
I told them I'm leaving my EB there for a week or two for their investigation.

I do hope that its related to something simplier ie: OCV valve.. And not big problem like CVT gearbox.
Not sure though, the last thing I remembered before this problem occur, I was testing out the Autocruise function by increasing
& decreasing the speed for a few times (while the autocruise is ON)
Actually, my EB milage is still below 5k. I'm curious abt the engine oil used, coz during my 1st service, I was adviced to use fully syn oil
coz according to mechanic "turbo engine are very hot".. But i insisted to use semi syn oil instead. The question is, why is my hilux, D4D
turbo diesel engine which is already clock over 300k still using Castrol mineral oil and its still runs very well??

this one is CFE engine?

kereta manja?

To simplify everything, just treat the CVT as a manual transmission with a automated clutch. If you drive manual cars before, on slope if not enough throttle is applied and the clutch is released too much, the car will also roll back then the engine stalls. Its actually the same concept for the current CVT in all Proton cars, you put the gear in D but since you dint input throttle, it begins to roll back and when the clutch plate in the CVT is released, it stalls the engine. Of coz, a slight roll back wont trigger this action, it need to roll down some substantial distance before it stalls.

Another way to easily cause engine stalling is engaging R without completely stopping the car first. I personally tried this a few times...

hi all

do you think this price is for real for cfe bold?

As we said just now...the CFE only for Exora Bold Premium(rm 80K) and Exora Prime(rm 88K) 
If it state other than prime or premium then it is cps.
At the moment EB will not have great discount as the demand is high, the most if u lucky is RM2K but no free gift or anything

Depends on SA, I got full tank, umbrella, tint voucher, smart tag n touch n go...but no discount lah for the EB

Called the sale.the price is for cfe but no insurance

If otr 78.5k
