Btw, iCare gave me a call.

So here is what i could gather from the phone call. The process is as follows:

1. Book car
2. Apply loan
3. Loan approved. Bank issue LOU (letter of undertaking). Proton need this to proceed with the booking.
4. ICare explain chassis number out only when car IN THE HUB. Prepare for delivery. NOT on manufacturing line as someone mention here. (The former makes more sense coz they need to make sure the car pass QC)
5. Car is delivered.

So in my case is like this

1. Booked 14/4/12
2. Apply loan 16/4/12 <- i assume coz this is first day of the week after i booked.
3. LOU 20/4/12 <- iCare tell me one.

So she inform me i still dun have chassis number. So i'm guessing my car is not among the car someone saw in the hub the other day

She say 1-2 months time frame is calculated from LOU date. So in my case the earliest is 20/5 and if 2 months is 20/6.

So for those pre-bookers. Your loan approved only they will begin the booking and NOT from the date of booking. Also someone mention here before from the date loan sign which is also wrong. The correct one is from the date LOU is issued.

So for those who already have their chassis number, either SA con you. Or your car stuck in hub not delivered. You think which one more possible? I believe you better call iCare. Complain and give your chassis number to them for checking.

Hi All Sifu & Guru,

I have a doubt for the "5 years warranty", i saw at 1 page which Whitelighter wrote on "Tips And Tricks for the Drivers and Owners" is stander 3 years + 2 years extended, is the 2 years extended warranty is FOC?

Bcoz my SA told me Proton only give 2 years warranty, 3 years extended warranty we have paid for it, which mean bank paid to Proton first & bank will charge it in our interest rate (for exmp : may be the rate is 2.5%, now paid 2.8% of the rate)?

Can any sifu & guru give some advise?

kuzek07 | Genetic Silver | CFE CVT | 4/5/2012

I have refulled twicee, first using Shell 95..full tank can give around 600km.. currently running on PETRONAS 95, fuel consumption seems bad..on shell 2 bar can move around 150km, but PETRONAS only around 120..going to refuell with Shell after this and monitor again..

600km is really not bad woo.
save than myvi..
haha.. how much u pump?

basically i drive around 530km and refulled with 70km left in fuel indicator..around rm80..

received my fire red preve just now.  Just that when I brake (around 70 to 90 km), there is "helicopter sound"  is it normal?
to move it is very slow, takes one to two second....

I have taken some time to make a Q&A out of the info from Autoworld regarding the Punch CVT. They are on the first page. I have rephrase certain sentences to "clean" up the answers but it should be 99% as the original. If there is any mistakes please let me know and i will correct it.
