I also received a letter for a free check at any Eon/Proton SC. Sent to EON Malacca to check.? They (Eon Sc) said they changed some bushing? Dunno real or bluff one?

Anyway, I think all FL/FLX comes with a tak tak tak sound when slow braking in the rear. Sent to claim, spent 5 hours and still the sound exists! Very irritating!

Just curious... When you guys (AT/CVT users) wait at a long traffic light/traffic jam, do you put the gear into N? or leave it on D?

I always shift it to N (old habit since driving MT last time  sweat.gif )
*
Better to put at N

Rear antiroll not necessary.

Get the 3Max rear boot strut bar. The one that fits behind the rear seats
*
Rear Anti Roll Bar not necessary - fully agreed! The whole thing is fixed to the torsion bar. And the bar is much much thicker than the ARBs 16mms. Fix lower strut bar better.

But rear boot strut bar especially the 3 point one makan a lot of space le....

Oh. This one? I thought the Ultra Racing one... Anyway, how much? And where you bought? Hmmm....


Looking at the mounting points, at the seats? Is it hard enough? Those who fixed it, please comment?

Guys, not sure this is a good place to ask, but anyhow, I just done my 1k service, change engine oil to sytium 1000 15w/50 (fully syn). But i'm curious how long can it last until the next oil change, anyone can know?

Thanks!
*
The SC would indicate on the sticker. If they put 5k you suck thumb have to go back 5k.... We are at their mercy.... So better just pun SS EO. Waste so much money for FS EO. Then change only 5k....

no need to use proton coolant
there are many alternatives out there
there are 3 better alternatives that i know of..
1.peregrine
2.forged racing coolant
3.toyota coolant
all these 3 are better than proton coolant...proton coolant is best change every 20k, the 3 above can last 2 years
and all 4 coolant will need to add water...ratio is 1:1...unless proton one already added with water
*
I totally recommend Original Toyota Coolant! My Suzuki ERV had radiator temperature and rust problem, after using Toyota Coolant (the first few cycles - flush, refill with TC, use 2 weeks, rust reduce 25%, repeat flush, refill and use 2 weeks cycle, rust reduce 75%. After the third time, until now, my radiator became rust free thus temperature stabilised! Very good stuff! But must make sure original. I am sure such good stuff got imitations out there.

Unless my Saga still in Warranty, I will not use Proton Coolant. I will reuse Toyota Coolant! icon_rolleyes.gif

Send back to Eon/Proton SC and complain! Don't do anything yourself! If not why buy new car with 3 year warranty?

does PE still have a new Saga BLM or SE? or i just look for second one?

Some still got stock but very very very limited liao. FL also i think almost all gone, they (Proton) have recalled the FLs as they can upgrade to FLX. (I ordered a Saga FL but the stock kena recall, so I have to take FLX)

BLM, last time my SA still got, but only B Line- Solid White Manual. You still interested? i can recommend you my SA.

Yup, I believe some places may still have the N-Line.

Not B-Line..

Oh I can't remember whether it was N line or B line.... Hmm I think B Line.... Stock is 2010-early 2011 if I am correct. But no accessories only Manual, Solid White with Aircon and Player only..... Dunno what Line already....

That time I got consider also, my SA offer me, but I took the FL, but end up, FL kena recall, have to take FLX.....

No choice, suck thumb put in crappy petronas semi synthethic and they still insist you service at 5,000km intervals! What? petronas semi synthethic oils so crappy can only last 5k kms? Puih!

My car not yet 1yr my big boss already asked me go outside service la.

He said tis cheap car dun need stewpiak Proton warranty.  rclxub.gif

Summore he said SC charge quite expensive.

So i dun talk bout warranty all the time. Coz many outside workshop also can solve the car problem for me.
*
Oh, but stupid or not, we pay our hard earned money to buy the car new. Warranty must exercise all the way. Now I found out the steering wheel left horn button not working. 10times press only 1 time horn sound??! Right side button okay!

So my 5,000km service, claim my warranty on this and the irritating Tak Tak Tak sound from rear brakes(still not rectified this time, I will DEMAND change of rear brakes! If not I will complain all the way to Proton MD since he very service orientated!)

Good one there! My personal experience, drive long distance with this crappy oil, after 1-2 hours continous drive. If no stop, the oil sort of temporaril lose it's qualities and the engine start to sound rough. But after stop at rest area, the oil feels like okay again. Not the most reassuring thing of course?!

it wont void the warranty when it is still within the specification of the manual (SAE 10W-30 or equivalent). It is stated in the manual that it warranty will only void if using engine oil with lower API rating (xW-20 below)

In fact, for FLX with CVT I recommend to stick back to xW-30 for a much smoother vehicle and better performance.


*
Agreed Bro, I did read the manual and it did state that the Warranty will void if use below API SL. Which means 99% of 20W-50 oils as they are mostly API SJ and below.

However, when I asked them about bringing my own oil, they immediately say "TAK BOLEH, VOID WARRANTY, NAK VOID WARRANT, BAWAKLAH!" with their most pathethic muka seposen.....

So I wonder if I show them the Manual, will they honour their own Manual or not? As the Proton Manual CLEARLY STATES SERVICING INTERVAL IS 10,000km and yet, they directly told me,MUST SERVICE AT 5,000km if not VOID WARRANTY! Is like WTF?? Manual say A, they say B?

they cant just simply void the warranty

they can only put a note "engine oil supplied by owner". But then if void warranty, only void the engine part. The engine basically after passing 5k-10k km without having problems means it is free from any manufacturing defects. Thats why I always believe in hard break in because I suspect manufacturers all recommend soft break in to avoid lots of warranty claims for new cars. tongue.gif
*
Thanks for the advise. Next service at 5,812kms, I will take out the manual and ask them to read out to me that paragraph, then take out my API SL Engine Oil. See if they dare say anything..... If they dare, I call Proton Headquarters in front of them. I had it with them manipulating customers.

My earlier warranty claim of Tak Tak Tak braking sound, after the SC "repaired" the sound only got worse and they still had the audacity to charge me Rm32 for the brake fluid for a half FXXK job.... Make me so furious! Now I found out my left horn button faulty somemore!

Earlier post, the SC put fully synthethic Eo into another forummers' car still the Sc ask him to return after 5k kms?

Wait a minute! CoSE is main Proton service outlet right? If they allow then why the kucing kurap SCs don't allow?

This makes me angry! Do you have CoSE number? I want to call them and ask Proton's official stance on this issue. Thanks very much!
