Arrghhhh too bright!! my eyes!!!!!

Not sure specifically which part, but once you cut wiring, next time your horn rosak they might also blame your HU.

1.6L exec is FL 4AT. FLX SE is CVT.

Not even sure they are still selling 1.6 Exec, even if they have prolly is old stock.

Why would you wanna change from CVT to AT??

Time to visit COE.

Ahh you mean the SAT button, yea that is used to simulate a 6-speed AT.

I have found one use for the SAT, for example....

You're cruising at 120 (about 2.7 - 2.8k RPM) , you wanna overtake a bus going almost as fast as you. You either floor the pedal and wait the RPM to climb to 4k where the max torque is, or switch on SAT, press the throttle to induce a downshift and watch your RPM instantly rise, then press all the way until you overtake the bus, then switch off the SAT.

In short, you can used the SAT to induce a stepped downshift in gear ratio and increase the RPM faster than in CVT mode.

Again, why got ppl compare MT to CVT?

How hard is it la? See bus, press button, overtake, switch off button. At least we can enjoy the benefits of both CVT and regular stepped AT

Besides, you can do more than overtake a bus.

I plan to do CF sticker at the aircon dials pun blom jadi yet.

SONG!

Like what Omara said, the SAT mode is all software.

That being said, I am also wondering if it may cause stress to the CVT due to the sudden change of operation parameters. I have emailed Mr. Kristof Verpoorten of Punch Powertrain, hopefully he will have an answer for us.

shift shock

Haha ah yes, the infamous mysterious hanging connector.

The consensus is, it is for some sort of device for the export versions. Since that device is not available in local variants, all we got is a hanging connector.

Congratz

I have the same problem. My last visit to COE they could not reproduce the problem (I told them the vibration came at 2k RPM and above, so they go and rev 2k in neutral ). By the time I got my car I realize the problem was still there, so I took the service advisor on a ride with me and show him the sound. He say should be the CVT mounting. He explains that it's not broken, just could not dampen the sound, and tell me to come back at 5K service to fix it.

Well I couldn't wait, I made an appointment for next Thursday and named the 2 service advisors as reference for the so-called "CVT mounting" sound. Hopefully they'll have a resolution for me.

In the mean time, I try to keep my RPM under 2k.

My car make me emo...arrgghhh

PMS

No la, After going in and out SC so many times, I takut wanna drive the car hard some times. Have to be gentle and all, no syok already despite some ppl say 1.6 fun to drive la and so on. Now the CVT mounting sound also make me sked to overtake cars liao.

Feels like paid more but missing out all the fun

I tot your car gonna have transformer sound when start engine.

You're probably right, but damn scary sometimes that sound.

The other way I could reduce the sound when I rev is to pakai SAT.

coolkwc has.

How to you plan to do that? I'm looking into it as well, and I can konfem insulflex won't work
