just below the air filter box.. got 1 hose go to the engine from the intercooler i think. now my car is at the sC to repair.. lucky my car is not too far for the sC.. terus hantar eventhough overheat sensor keep on buzzing (this is good, at least there are some function that is useful).. call my service advisor fren, komplen komplen, and he finally admitted there are some problems with exora bold that is "keep secret" to public.. ask him what are the other problems, he cannot answer, company policy.. one of them is this.. and the others,, u all maybe have faced it.. the sound after hitting hole, camera sumtimes got no picture, dammit.. why u no tell me earlier!!!.. . hmm.. but i'm satisfied with the car.. estima, alphard, wish, stream, cannot kejar me after reach 200km/h.. hahahahaha


Added on April 3, 2012, 12:59 aminstall 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

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?  hmm.gif
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  nod.gif

No, for normal only 3 bars. Im very comfirm with this coz my sa had told me never go over 4-5 bars. i did always keep monitor my temperature it jz stay at 3 bars.

Pls check ur coolant asap. Sometime they forgot pour the coolant as i had read some thread here. Or else send to sc tomorrow.

yesszaa.. this is wat i faced before my clip become loose. the reserve tank for the coolent is completely dried.. dunno why.,. even after topup every weekend.

once they set the car when they launch the car to use campro..all the way they will use it
they wouldn't change
a "facelift" is suppose to be making customer to be more interested in the car while maintaining the cost
if now they suddenly want to put mivec into it, they would be pouring more money into development in putting mivec into exora...switching engine isn't just switching, theres alot of part related needed to be change and somemore tested for problems
it would take years and more money....for a "facelift"...heck no...no company in this world would do that
the next "exora replacement"...maybe...current exora FL....HELL NO


Added on April 16, 2012, 5:06 pm
what prob would that be?
sometime the solution is VERY VERY simple but SC can't solve it becuz they're not trained to fix that
thats why they're scratching their head
*
1.) abs sound when hitting hole
2.) aircond - when reverse the air will become hot
3.) OC Valve - your car will be underpower even when u press the acc pedal
4.) loose hose clip
5.) overheat engine - as for final result, need to change engine head.. will take more than 1 week.. lucky got
warranty.. if not just say bye bye for you rm4k..just got a savy for a replacement car from proton..hmmm........

these problem is not simple.. some of them they also dunno how to fix it..if u don't belive me, go try and call proton service center.. or go to exora forum.. topik terhangat..

hi bro,

3) what is this meaning bro? when will feel under power?

sometime driving fast, rpm reach 3-4k, around 120-140kmh. there is some smelly come out from aircond. why will this happend?
*
OC -Kalau tak silap Oil Control / Change Valve.. Bukan sbb tayar or rim.. Fuel consumption (FC) pun agak tinggi berbanding biasa..hmmm ... Selalu bila kita tekan minyak turbo akan on, akan terasa pickup dan kelajuan bertambah.. Ni RPM dah naik tapi kelajuan kereta lambat..

Go with your heart, buy exora Bold, And do take the CFE Premium. Youll never look back again  drool.gif
I was once like you, choosing the right MPV for my family,
I've test driven aVANza = Its just driving a Van rather an mpv, very bumpy blink.gif
I've test driven Grand Livina = Looks like a spacewagon but for 1.6L, not bad, but if u go with full load, better take the 1.8L. BTW the 3rd row seats ONLY for children, and it is way too pricey...

With my tight budget and performance wise, boy I'm glad I've chosen Exora Bold thumbup.gif

About the small problems, it just a normal thing laa, after all, it can be claimed by warranty. So no problem at all. cool2.gif

no need for japanese mpv which are more expensive.. sparepart mahal, u can get 3 new EB for 1 recond alphard.. 2 new EB for toyota wish recond.. besides, u drive a recond card which is more than 6-7 years already..
i bought EB, got major problem, send to be fixed - settle... after that drive like crazy again.. so syIok a to drive the EB.. rclxm9.gif haiya... rclxm9.gif

just service every 5k and your car will last fr more that 10 years..if only the engine oil is original.. most of the oil at the spare part shop are FAKE..and we are not aware about it.. the oil filter is olso fake.. summore they got original sticker.. haiya..penin.. thats why i fedup and only go service at proton edar SC.. not WAKIL Servis.. as they will use replacement parts, not genuine parts..

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.
*
your driver seat feel rocking rite? mine is the same... already send back 2 times to proton, they said they had fixed it, after 1 day, it happen again.. for both front seats.. huh...will send again next week...
