If service book say next service 5000km but they give you fully synthetic oil and ask you come at 10000km, would the warranty be void? hmm.gif

Talking about the wind noise at c pillar screen (mine at left side), I went to the service center today, their mechanics check around the door and he found the wind noise might come from the c pillar screen (small screen), because the rubber on that part is look messy. But he want to confirm with their service advisor for warranty claim before they repair it. Need to come back tomorrow (their service advisor EL today).

However, I DIY to detect where actually the sound comes from . I paste a clay at the both upper corner rubber of the small screen area. Yes, the wind noise disappears.

Tomorrow or within this week I will go back to service center, ask them to replace the rubber.

Please take a few photos of the location where you paste classy on it. Thanks notworthy.gif

What color was it?
I remembered one lyn forummer said esc light always on. Maybe he was trying to prove Proton that Esc is not functioning although the light is on.
oi! Proton! Do you believe now? I think they should, because Proton says drive it to believe it.

inspira cucuk lancer, lancer too proud to move aside, even worst inspira never stop to help and just left the scene, this inspira driver also responsible.
speed kills, just like the case in singapore, red ferarri beat red light and langgar taxi.

My assumption is inspira accidentally touched the rear of lancer when lancer took his foot off the gas when passing so many cars and a bus. The inexperience inspira driver caused the accident that's why he speed off to avoid witness see his front bumper scratch the lancer.

Respect the deceased and stop speculating. Assume=stupid

Assume = make an ASS out of U and ME.
Depends what you are assuming in order to make you feel stupid.
whenever I read such stories I try to learn a thing or two as well as be an investigator to conduct forensic test to try understand what and how it happened.
By doing so, we come to a few different conclusions and then we think of what could or should have been done to avoid this accident from the driver aspect as well as third party.
So next time we see such situations we are more prepared to make a better decision how to tackle such situation whether we are the one being tailgated or third party.

This is the problem with people like you having the mentality of a tidak apa attitude. Only know how to feel sorry but learn nothing except fucuk people's imagination.

you better start learning to be wise, young man. I will be embarrass if you tell me you are pakcik.

Btw, I know you are not an accountant because if you don't make assumptions there is no way you can solve questions without sufficient information. You need your grandma to hold your hand to feed you.

So you are telling me all accountants are stupid because you said assume = stupid.
Look who's stupid here. doh.gif

Just called by SA saying one white cfe can give me bcoz owner want to wait for next series of alphabet which is next month. I was so happy at first. I immediately go and check out the car first, armed with all the knowledge i gained from you forummers smile.gif

There were 3 silver, 2 white and 1 black there. The white chassis 25XX. Those are the digits that i hate including .. 2,4,5,7,0. Nonetheless, I am very eager to forgive the numbers when I saw the white baby. The keys were not ready for me to inspect the inside of the car. Black cfe park next to it is chassis 31XX. Was it a coincidence?? I get to compare the outside of 2 different batches. The White really expose the strong and humble character of the Preve. It seems the paint job was good and I am satisfied with the outlook of the White. After waiting for over 15 minutes, still the keys are not ready. As a result I dont get the chance to inspect the welding, usb, glove box etc. But I suddenly recalled the fog lights on left front side does not have cover. I bent down and saw it missing and that confirms the hole is meant for ventilation and cooling. But when I check the black cfe, both sides got cover. That means the missing cover is really MISSING! mad.gif It seems they have rectified a few issues in the 2nd batch production and I am not sure what else they rectified as I cant get inside the car to looksie. blink.gif

From that moment, I told the SA that I have decided to wait for 2nd batch or maybe those 1st batch which have been recalled and rectified. Of course, we can easily get a cover replaced during first service but the chassis number and the missing cover sums up my conclusion. Sometimes it's better to let your sixth sense make the decision. If your heart feels something amiss, then don't force yourself or try to convince yourself. You end up cheating yourself to make your heart happy for a minute, and end up hating yourself for the rest of the minutes.

Let's all be patient and hope we get a unit that is from a good batch. icon_rolleyes.gif

Can anyone confirm this?

Can the CFE Push Start Button be OFF during such situation? :
1. While Car is Cruising on D or S Mode
2. While Idle on D Mode
3. While Idle on S Mode
4. While Idle on N Mode

Don't try the following but answer me if you know:
5. While going uphill irregardless of D or S mode
6. While going downhill irregardless of D or S mode

If you can't turn off the engine in any of the situations above, then does it work if you step on the brakes then press OFF?

Now, Can the CFE Push Start Button be ON while stepping on brake pedal during such situation? :
7. Gear at P
8. Gear at N
9. Gear at D
10. Gear at S

11. Lastly, is it possible while cruising at D, push the Gear to P when you jam on the brakes and the speed slowing down below 30kmh?

It is very important to understand how this push start button works on the Proton unit in case of emergency and precaution. I will justify my claim by attaching this video. You will notice in the video, the car uses key to start the engine, so we are not sure if it works the same using push start button.

Let's all seriously do some research and get the real answer instead of guessing.
Thank you for all your contributions notworthy.gif



I dunno how to attach video, here's the link WITHOUT PUSH START BUTTON

This is for those with push start button PUSH START BUTTON

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?
Question and answer from CAT Team: Mr Shamsudin told me the other hole is for the hot air to come out. All cars is like that. They already take note on this and will check if all new batch got any cover. No changes on the cover.
Why is Mr Shamsudin contradicting what he says? He said the hole is for hot air to come out and all cars are like that.
If that is so, then why he needs to check if all new batch got any cover?
That means he is unsure got cover or not.

Dun have to feel that way. Look on the bright side.
that guy is jealous and envy Proton buyers are the most in Malaysia and we prevocs established a very strong family bond in just 1 month!
He may be rich but does not have true friends. And worst of all, he regretted buying a jap sport because his forum not active.
