The engine died is what issue ? the engineer got tell?
*
Most/all of the cases just need to tigthen all the battery terminal and it solve

Because the dealer forget to tight it back when deliver to customer, the reason why they loose it at first place cos want to prevent the battery discharge itself when in store

[QUOTE]

Overall I am very satisfied with my Exora. No regrets..... Luckily my wife dont like alza, if not that time might get that... I heard alot of issue....

[/quote]

For below Rm100k i personally think EB beat all the mpv ( alza, avanza, innova, chery eastar )
How reliable I dont know, hopefully it can lasts like my 2004 waja...no issues at all

Am interested in Exora Prime. However, when I go to Proton - Edar website, there is very little information. Would like to know if the head rest has LCD screen and the 2nd row is captain seat. Anyone has actual photo?
*
Prime a 6 seater
Back of the driver n front passenger seat has LCD, however dont have LCD on ceiling
Built in GPS at the HU and reverse camera display at the HU LCD instead of at rear view mirror
Got written Prime on the front seat and coil mat
2nd row also captain seat same as the first row...third row same like bold
Plastic wood trim finishing

Others all same like bold
Photo can view alot from the internet

Things I noticed with EBP
I feel the slight rocking of the driver seat when you brake.
The engine RPM stays at 1 even when you stop at traffic lights.
The horn sounds like a ship
Remote control lock and unlock sounds are very soft. Sometimes you are not sure if you have locked the car or not.
High engine sound outside was expected. But it gets more louder when you switch your aircon on.
Anything I mention to my inexperienced SA . He says " the car comes like that "

I like
The space inside the car
Pick up in the low gears.
Sound system ( Good for the car price )
Stability of the car. Handling and braking has been good
Air con is good and i like the flow outlets for the 2 back row seats

I have not checked on DVD player. No complaint from my kids.

So far I am satisfied with the buy. What happens in next few months and how the SC service my car?..Wait and see.
*
1. At what gear it stay at 1000rpm? D or N? Mine if I put at N it stay at 900rpm if D it stay at 1000rpm

2. I believe you never own a campro engine before tongue.gif yeap, it always loud and worse when aircon is on but its normal campro behavior, dont worry icon_rolleyes.gif

if u complain at SC...they will do what most workshop will do...add gas
i dn't really know abt your setting in aircon....but if its set right, it should be fine
and yes...when your car is moving, the aircon is cooler cuz got wind(cool air) coming in
when you're staying still, its not gonna be as cold as when you're moving...this is normal for any aircon

and YES...setting it to 100% will 110% harm your aircon...even with the great aircon brand proton is using
this is why u see those car not even 2/3 years old...aircon already finish and have to change whole set(around RM2.XK)
because they directly switch the temperature above 50% when they say hot...best is maintain 50%...dn't go over and i can guarantee your A/C will serve u 6-7 years without service
if u set like 75-100%...thn better service every year....and i gotta tell u 1st, servicing this a/c ain't cheap
*
Agree with you smile.gif
Service air con is expensive, the parts like compressor can reach rm1k
And as usual, we know nuts about servicing air cond sure kena ketuk kaw kaw by workshop sad.gif
Better use it wisely

Anyone here own an Exora Prime. I am interested in this variant due to the 2nd row captain seat. Any idea if the captain seat can rotate 360% and can be shifted front or back?
*
Almost buy it before decide to buy Bold Premium
The 2nd row captain seat cannot rotate 360 degree but not sure it can shifted front or back? hmm.gif
Prime is awesome man, but only offer absolute brown colour
I support you buy Exora Prime thumbup.gif

Aduih. So many complaints on exora bold. Now have to think again whether to proceed with exora bold or grand livina 1.8. Dang!!!
*
If you doubt proton quality, just go for the livina..not bad also. To own an exora bold must have high level of acceptance tongue.gif

Guys, my EB fan dont usually spin after turn off engine.Sometimes that bother me scared if overheat. Last time it spin for 5 seconds and stop.
My neo aggressive driving when turn off engine the fan will still run for like 2 minutes max.

Btw I tint my EB, did another layer on top of the stock tint...front side 40% and rear and back 80%. It not solid black when view from outside, more to reflection. Pass by roadblock, abang jpj stop me and when i wind down the window he saw me with family he let me go whistling.gif:

A few owner at EOCM also have the same problem, you send to SC and they will change or tighten the connector.

Hi neo1point3,
Checking with you, how's your EB as of now? How long already you've been using it? What's the top speed you've reached as of now? Any major/minor problem that should look for especially for those who is going to get the new EB soon?
Appreciate your sharing...

Thanks.
*
I've been using for like almost 2 months, mileage around 2500km
I never test the top speed yet and maybe never will tongue.gif the most I ever go with EB is 130km/h for now
The only problem I have with my EB is the engine shut down suddenly when idle...in 2 months, 3 times happened. Will check with SC during my 5k service. Other than that is perfectly fine smile.gif

The thing that I dislike about EB is

1. CVT noise so loud when deceleration ( 30km/h and below) i think this is normal, not a problem
2. The car jerk like manual ( at low speed only) i believe this is normal for our type of CVT
3. The dashboard attract dust easily wink.gif
4. When compressor is on, from outside the car is too loud, but inside is good
5. No ISOFIX to install baby seat properly vmad.gif even my satria neo have it. How a family car dont have that?

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

syntium 800 or syntium 1000?

Thank you
*
I use 800 for 1K,5K and 10K service...at 15K i will start use the 1000

QUOTE(Optiplex330 @ May 26 2012, 04:20 PM)
