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?

25k for VT2 which is in saga
the ones in exora is VT3

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

mmg lah, just because its a proton, u expected it to be cheaper ke ? the gearbox is from punch powertrain . and no; punch is not anak syarikat proton ye.

the turbo also is not manufactured by proton, its actually by borgwarner.
the abs/ebd is by bosch. both these guys also not anak syarikat proton

so why on earth would u think the gb is a lot cheaper than hondas?

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,,..?

radiator fan? its normal for turbo charger, the fan will continue to spin for a few more minutes to cool the system down after you off the engine to make sure the engine don't overheat due to the additional and hot air pressure...

There is no hot pressure. the extended fan is performing air cooling to cool off the turbo and header since your water pump and oil pump is not working after you switch off.

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

Sometime it just embarrassing...

It is normal for Campro, maybe even more so for CFE. Some Saga BLM owners report the fan running for 30 minutes after off engine.

suggest put a turbo timer?

I dont think put in turbo timer is relevant in this case.

Give and take. You want less problem on the engine or quiet engine. Heat is always a problem for TC cars.

all,

booked EB and waiting for delivery. got news from SA new batch EB recall by Proton due to gearbox issue. not really sure what the exact issue though. impacting some of other older batches as well.

anyone got letter from proton on this or any insight on this?

thanks.

gearbox are never cheap
gearbox with the engine already cost well over half of the car's price itself
gearbox + engine = covers 60-70% of the car price itself
thats why must protect nicely...if not, a hole in your wallet will be seen
but those 2 part won't spoil so easily

what kind of noise?
u rev the engine really high is it?
i drive a saga blm....in this 4 year period, i only encounter 1 time(only once) the fan keeps running after i switch off
which is i have to rev around 3k(2nd gear) to climb up a very steep hill to reach the destination
other than that, the fan pretty much didn't kept going after i switch off
that "ngggggi" sound is normal...cooling down the engine after engine switched off

i'm also waiting for my EB. SA informed there's production issue with Proton but not sure what kind of issue. Not sure though whether it's true or not since I booked with dealer and not at Proton 3S

Sometimes, after starting engine,not moving yet, I on aircon, the fan starts turning...is it also normal.....
So far this thing is annoying me.....

The Fan

Emm...that's normal. if your car is not moving, what do you think is making your aircon cool?

Your first car?
