those who has krak-krak sound when cranking to start the engine need to have OWV valve replace. this only happens when engine is cold.

brotan, for with the slow eb start, normally I will just throttle to around 1.5k-2k rpm when power really kick in. at traffic jam i just play with brakes, the EB do move at 800-900 rpm but it is really slow.
*
was told can adjust the timing when the power comings in (may lower rpm). let's see

Hi guys,

Got my exora back yesterday

short review on what was changed and the initial feedback

Changed Items

1) OCV
2) VTT (the one official recall)

Complained items but nothing can be done or no time to do

1) Rattling sound from dashboard
2) The some time got "grrrr..." sound when go through pothole
3) The delay in power coming up after press pedal

Experience after change

1) From stop to reverse, i feel is now smoother. last time feel like the power coming in very slow, now feels good
2) From stop to go, no difference
3) FC not yet check, still got quite a lot of fuel left. will feedback

Hi, Congrats for getting ur car back  thumbup.gif
hope the FC will be better, can i ask how much is your FC previously
Mine is Highway 10km per Liter
          City      8-9km per Liter

Thanks
Note:anyone wants to list their FC please do. let us share and compare  moneyflies.gif
*
my previous FC is only 6km/liter cry.gif

full city drive. lots of traffic jam

let's see how is it this time (i did complain about this to the service guy and Shah commented, OCV change will help improve FC)

if full city + Heavy traffic mine is the same 6km/L

so either the CFE is like this or my OCV is also problematic

Lets wait for your feedback

Thanks

i will feedback if there are any improvement

maybe next week

Hi All bro here,
I am a newbie here. Received my EB in June2012.
About 2 weeks after, my EB had problem.
While waiting at traffic light (with engine running) out of suddend "CVT alarm" indiciated at panel. Try press the fuel paddle but car not moving. So call proton hotline, where he advise to off engine, open front bonet & disconnet battery terminal.
Then he asked to re-connet battery terminal.
After, "CVT alarm" cleared. Can move as usual.

But what really frustrating me was yesterday (about 1.5 months after above incident).
"CVT alarm" indicated at panel when slowing down upon road hump. Off the engine for 1 min then switch on. "CVT alarm" cleared and i start the engine. Moving again. Then it happened again! Argh....
This thing happened 4 times yesterday.
Finally i gave up, drive back home (luckily not too far from home) and switch my other car.
Hmmm....bad experience to me.
Anyone can share/help me in this matter.
To the extend i feel like to sell my EB now!

In dire need....huh

try switch to SAT mode

Update on the above

driven with full sat this week

1) fc drop from earlier 7.2km/l to 6.1km/l with sat mode
==> fc is most likely worse with sat mode. Switching back to cvt mode to see if fc improves to confirm this theory

2) with sat mode, feels car more stable during idle or reversing. Engine never died during this period
==>> sat seem to improve engine performance stability.. Aftr I switch on cvt just now, my engine died 30 min later

I think they should try replacing the car's brain (ECU). stop replacing the valves and go for the big boss i.e ECU

bro

i remember you have big big problem with your car that even have to send to their R&D centre

is that right? or i might mistaken someone else?

Yes its me  flex.gif  lol
it took two months to fix the alignment for my exora finally at the R&D  doh.gif  and the final report stated that  the issue was from the tires  oops.gif

touch wood i don't have this issue you are having.

I dont know where you are sending your car, but if you are  not sending to COSE or proton city. better do it quick

I wish you luck bro, cuz your issue is much more sever than alignment

All the best  thumbup.gif

What's COSE?

btw, i remember your FC is also not that good right? what's ur currect FC with full city drive?

i will be test drive a bit more and earliest i will go is after raya. you know lah now puasa time, they do things also half hearted

Amazing ... took them 2 months, believe an experience tyre shop can do that within 2 hours ... unless it is other problem but they don't want to tell you so blame on tire.

Whatever the reason good to know yr car is now running good  biggrin.gif

when's my turn to have "yr car is now running good"? cry.gif
