Dunno can ask proton to repaint for me... i dunno what color code also...
my door got three patch not color properly so maybe can ask them repaint then paint this small scratch.

Dunno is it possible to repaint...i have the sierra glow there. after repaint dunno it will stick on it or not..

Mat79 is it advisable to ask proton repaint? not sure if the paint will stick on it or not? will they take off all the old paint and repaint? or just spray it then apply clear coat? what i worry is the paint spray will kena other place... maybe will also torn after a while...cause the sierra glow layer is very smooth... dunno the paint can stick there or not after repaint my passenger door...small patch got three patch around 2 inch wide each. only can be seen under the sun or light..at 25 or 30 degree angle..

and this is another thing here...the casing gap is too large.... today morning...my coin get into the hole...let you see the video i took...near the gear lever there. I just worry the 10 cent will destroy my cvt gear...is that the place the gear place? or got cover? how to take out coin that gets inside already...after toll plaza i put my coins on top of the cover there...it gets inside when i want to retrieve it...

Now is 920 km mileage.. i already book my slot for my car this Wednesday morning at proton COE. still awaiting for reservation number from proton...they say calling me back tomorrow to give me the reservation number. So far my issue that need to ask SC to check during my first 1000km service is.....

1) Not sure if I just put in full petrol using petronas 95(when using BHP dont have that feel) ... Feel like not enough power if it is below 60kmph. Feel like want to mati engine. Check and see why my car mati engine when i try to reverse. Is not cold start. It is after journey. after rain..so should be no issue like temperature that cause it to mati engine. it is flat road. no uphill or down hill reverse.

2) My Paint issue on the passenger door driver side on the right. got three patch like three spot around 2 inch diameter a bit blur. only can be seen under light and at 25 or 30 degree angle. i think they did not check properly before apply clear coat. the surface is smooth but can see there is a different color tone. little bit light silver...compare to other color which is properly mix..

3) Fog lamp area. dunno suppose to have hole or is it suppose to be closed.
left got hole is it suppose to be like that to let hot air out? or they forget to fit that plastic cover?

right dont have hole.

4) My gear lever indicator light. all the other alphabet not as bright as N and R. green and red color..the rest white color very light only even after adjust brightness.


5) My Rim everyday full of brake dust. Black color dust. Not sure the brake they use is low quality or what. Is it suppose to have brake dust everyday or it must be clean? at this rate i think every three or six month need to replace brake pad already. i scared the brake pad finish fast then it will cost my disc plate to become uneven if not change on time..

6) Check to see if my coin get into the gear box console area. coins and paper might slip in and i afraid that it will cause harm to my cvt gear..sad.gif


7) Check see why my light open DLR and the small light when i put in auto during morning and also my wiper not responding when got light drizzle rain. suppose to start the level 1 wipe then stop. I already change the sensitivity of the wiper to the max +++sign. can i open just the drl light without the back light on? during morning or afternoon i just want open drl light i dont want my back to have light. only after i open the small light then only the back light on can or not? can it be set using their diagnostic system?

8) check and see why my passenger door right hand side near my driver door. cannot be close properly must use harder force to close.

9) Check my window lining at the passenger side left front seat place. it is not as firm attach as the other three window.
Example:

10) The sluggish start from 0 to 5kmph.. need to press until around 1800 to launch the car... or maybe 2000 is it is in roundabout situation. or should i press harder and get use to it?

11) ask not to use X1R. and ask not to use Magnetec.

12) Ask them to use coolant to replace rather than water to replace. for my radiator safety

13) ask them remap ECU and or TCU(I dunno what is this)

14) Ask and see why my engine sound loud. or am I too sensitive? In cabin not much sound can be heard just outside when i warm up my car...i feel the sound is louder than my neighbor honda citu idsi...old car..i jealous..why my new car engine sound louder or is it turbo charge engine will have that characteristic?


i think that's...all for now.

All that can be complete within 2 to 3 hours time right or i need to wait until one whole day or i need to put my car there for inspection? i need to use car.

dont need to scare just be white mice. and we can get our warranty 5 years. all stuffs we collected now and request to change this and that and report to proton they will take note so that in future all new batch proton preve will have better stuffs. and hopefully they will take note on that and apply it to future proton cars as well.

there you go, if tutup nanti your CVT got warning.

Bout the rain sensor can you explain how you test it?

If not mistaken it won't work if you just put to auto, that's what explain by my exora friend. It's auto but not that "auto" lol
*
but if it rains drops faster..it will start response. the faster it rains the faster the wiper action.

pull down one is level one speed...two is double...three is triple... back to auto....i thought it suppose to be auto same as the light only on when it is at night..

I think K2002 only adjust the auto wiper speed but didn't engage to auto wiper position

I tested mine, work like charm
*
oh i see so really need to push down one level.... i thought put in neutral position it will start operate already.... so means each time the car start....if push down one level ...the wiper will wipe once then stop there...whenever there is rain ...then only it will operate right?

Today i experienced my radiator fan functioning even after i switched-off the engine. It runs about 2 mins and off after that. Kinda cool feature but worried that it might eat my battery faster.
*
they got another extra battery that is operation for the fan only. did not use up our battery. if not mistaken dunno who told me in this forum. this is separate battery that will be recharge when ever you use car and that battery only specifically for turning on and off the fan for cool down purpose. mine sometimes will be 30 sec sometimes will be a minute ...sometimes longer than that.

I guess most of you who complaining about the "low rpm torque" issue is due to not getting used to CVT yet.
*
ya right right. especially if you use old car like mine daihatsu charade aura. 1.3 manual. if shift properly can reach 100km very fast dunno how fast but can feel very fast maybe cause it is very light.
