The BMW 5 series (F10/11) has EPS, and I don't think the steering feel is that bad.

Anyway I was talking about ESP/ESC.

The Fiat has it, the otherwise pretty much identical Citroen doesn't.

i dunno whether they can do that coz adding sunroof need to undergo another rolling test crash test which is costly to do. Maybe for exora replacement in the future. Already suggested to them, but whether it will have it or not,i dont have the power to influence them.

Sat is stepped auto transmission. For saga cvt vt2 6 speed, for bold n future p321a cvt vt3 7 speed. Its just simulation by giving the trans fixed predetermined ratio, it quite lazy in that mode coz it is wet clutch based compare to toyota altis dual vvti cvt which is torque converter based. Better to stick to full cvt, D mode, but if u want more power,just slot to L (sport mode), but i think for cfe, u dont need that unless u r in fast n furious mode(darah muda) :-).


Added on January 23, 2012, 7:13 pmah, most important part to mentioned, dont treat cvt as conv auto during emergency or u will ruin ur cvt trans. Please refer to owner's manual what u need to do incase of engine breakdown@batery 'kong' situation. Dont push start,push@tow ur car even in N@free gear,there is a special button u need to push before u can push ur car aside during emergency. Refer to owner's manual. Its apply to all prtn cvt trans car.

hello mat79
i have an idea here
since flx using 32bit ecu as in persona
as i know the batch b4 persona elegance is usuing 16 bit
after introduced pe 32bit ecu, proton provide FREE upgrade for those 16 bit persona
can proton offer this upgrade svc for BLM/FL user as well?
so is fair enough and can have better fc smile.gif

q1&q2,as being informermed,yes u can,it will not burn the trans,but it will burn fuel more than D.

Q3,push start,cannot,but jump start,can, just remember to connect the -negative cable to body@any metal for earthing. Dont connect negative to negative batery during cable jump start except u r running carburator car.

But u can push the car aside to safety after push the unlock button at gear console.

And for upgrading ecu,iafm+ is totally different thing compare to iafm. Even upgrading like say o


Added on January 24, 2012, 1:11 amfree upgrading, i dunno coz i think such performance upgrade is never been done freely by any manufacturer. Unless ecu update@reflash. Not changing the whole ecu n wiring unit involve. But elegance is not iafm+. Campro iafm n campro iafm+ is diff unit, not exactly 100% diff,but around 50% part is new.calibration also diff to suit the engine.

have to agree with u, unless they pour in diff viciousity like 20w or 15w. I think even with 10w its not really a problem. I just thinking that maybe previously they pour in maybe mineral 20w to ur car, so, make it hard to start coz too thick,especially during cold start,n mineral is not really suitable for new car. Remember one blm have problem really bad fc due to sc pour in 20w mineral oil.

The minimum shud be 10w30 for campro based engine. Stupid sc. By the way, i recommend u use fully syn 5w 30 @ 5w 40 which is not that expensive such penzoil@bardhal, around rm100 only for 4l oil. It is not the best fully syn available in market,but justify its price n suitable for 10k service interval. Save little fc too. Buy it own ur own,dont rely on sc to provide u coz sometimes they used barrel oil.

Maybe some oil has spill to the crank sensor that make it give out wrong input to ecu during start. If still not spoil,just clean it up,and u shud be ok. Overfilling engine oil also can cause the problem.

Check ur oil level so that it shud not more than max level. Since they mentioned already change the oil,check whether the oil is still in clear golden color.  check if any oil leak@spill around the engine coz by overfilling. Then,if ok,then i think it shud not be a problem. Sometimes hate the young foreman that service ur car like sh*t, untidy n rush to do the job.

maybe somebody in k.l can help u. Personal experience,dont go to batu caves prtn sc, really bad service. Thats my experience few years back. By the way,im not in k.l. Maybe can search from other forum such blm@persona forum or just join exora owners club, they are many members that can help u out.

my car is blm
do u recommend fully syn for my ride?
normally i did 5k at 6months
so if i use fully syn until 1year, will the quality downgrade due to oxidation?
and the proton oil filter seem like only last for 5k?
