There's a few things I'm curious when examining the engine bay of my FLX this morning, I think sifus here can confirm my speculation/doubt:

There's a cable which seems to be going nowhere, is it suppose to be this?

There's 2 hose connecting to the CVT gearbox, so this is the hose that connects to the CVT cooling (located near the radiator)? If that is the case then the first batch of FLX have only one hose before Proton initiates recall to add another hose (due to overheating) right? My guess is that it extracts the CVT oil itself from the gearbox for cooling (unlike engine which uses water for cooling)? Last saturday, I was traveling 600+km in a single day and the gearbox works really well.

I've booked CoSE and I think this is the "nenas" that's making the vibration sound from the interior as indicated by bro dares. Hopefully they can change it on the same day.

Is this to indicate it is a 1.6-litre engine? I see no different when opening the engine bay of 1.3 FLX.

Overall in my opinion, the car is great to have, I've been using Myvi 1.3 for 4 years, suspension is a bit hard but body roll is much better than the Myvi, it lacks the noise insulation and environment sounds are really really loud during 120km/h highway cruising, last time when my father ride with me he had difficulty in hearing what I want to say to him , average fuel consumption 12.5 - 13km/l as I'm doing 80% city driving everyday, so far I've experienced 3 problems with the car:
1) Boot hard to close (Fixed on 1st service)
2) Fog light is higher angle than headlight (will try to rectify this on 5000km service)
3) Vibration sound from the "nenas" (will also try to rectify this on 5000km service)
other than this, it does its job superbly, I'll be going to CoSE on 21st May to rectify the 2 remaining problems.

Re the hanging connector, the consensus here is that it is supposed to be connected to something that is only available in export versions.

When you made the appointment did you mention the nenas thing? they need to contact the vendor to replace it if that is the culprit. Did you also ask for Mr. Taj Mohamad?

Forgot the mention we saw a Fire Red FLX SE last night with a G1M car plate

so early go there for what? showgirl pun belum change to sexy costume pun.

He wanna go see showgirl while they change to sexy costume

i heard got carshow, later i go lepak awhile if got time and parking place.

Can set up booth at the car park to sell bodykit

i go there around 12 lar...



sure got a lot of parking if u wan to c showgirls...

SiuYi great idea...haha^^

When I made the call I didn't mention about the nenas, I just say there's a vibration sound underneath the car and I request for vehicle checkup, I planned to mention the nenas and Mr Taj Mohamad when I arrived at CoSE later on as maybe speaking in person would be better? anyway just my 2 cents, I don't prefer to leave my car at their place but if that has to be (because they need to contact vendor right?) then it's ok if not more than 2 days, I'll post here when the problem is rectified.

Good luck
