This post has been edited by Turbocrazy: Jul 3 2012, 07:38 PM

I almost pay the booking for the teana (V6) but ended up this shit..

As I said in my previous post, I follow my dad's advice, used normal mineral oil first, let it do some wearing. New
engines are tight, then later upgrade to syn engine oil. My EB now reads at 10.2 L/ 100km, town use mileage 5k plus..
I think yours is quite high, bro.. Any other owners getting lower than this??

bro, actually I'm doing the calculation in same manner like u.. I travel to KL quite often. Sometimes with EB cfe &
sometimes with my old merc (W124)..
Fill up full tank ron95 at simpang pulai, ipoh shell, stop at sg buloh shell then do the calculation from there
(distance approx 200km). For the CFE, initially (<1k km) need RM37~39. Now, is RM31~33..
If comparing to my old merc 2.6cc, its only RM27~28.. (driving at 120~130 km/hr)

Bro sendoh_7, by right we should take the average, i.e; gather the mileage for few months then see how much fuel
we pump to date then take the average.. But the thing is, our CFE is still new, in order to obtain the quick rough figure
how much our CFE drinks.. then I'm doing this while waiting for my CFE to stabilized.. Correct me if i'm wrong..

klate dude, Yuup this w124 is given to me by my dad, and he is used to be one proud owner of this ride. He told me
that w124 is an over engineered machine, n I do agree with him due to the comfort, reliability.. in short, " driving
from Ipoh to KL was like juz came back for a cup of coffee"..
If u go for E220, then it sud be masterpiece, loh.. I think 2.6cc is the most suitable for w124 body due to its weight, "effortless".. but surely the bad point is the higher roadtax n higher maintenance la.. Dun be suprise if I'm telling u this ; W124 is more comfortable than camry..

ya, there is, near the engine temp, if u depress the button for 3~4 sec, then u can choose which one u want to
monitor..
1) a car figure like for monitoring how much distance more to refuel
2) indicator for how many km more to empty
3) Fuel consumption monitoring ; 10.2L /100km

nope...

to me #1 is useless, #2 juz for rough estimation coz not accurate one..
Furthermore, too small, hard to see while driving..

ya, hard to believe myself, its between either doing installment or not.. People in CH normally go down to ipoh often
to do shopping, tuition, movies etc.. things are much cheaper in ipoh. i.e; a pack of rice can cost as much as RM 2~3
dearer..
So, I tot this so called "dare to be different, value for money, powerful, space is a bonus machine" can serve me well,
but.. ....

Guys, latest news...

"The retail price of RON 97 petrol will be RM2.60 per litre effective tomorrow, July 5. This is a 20 sen reduction from the previous RM2.80 per litre.

This adjustment comes nearly a month after the pump price of RON 97 had been lowered by 10 sen from RM2.90 per litre. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said that the reduction was made in line with the dip in the average global oil price.

Unlike the regulated and subsidised RM1.90 per litre RON 95, the pricing of RON 97 is based on a managed float, whereby the price is determined according to market forces"

Thx bro, our hope that proton will react more pro-active into these issues...

Added on July 5, 2012, 9:23 amBut, my dad asked me to pump ron 97 full tank in every one or two months (depending on the usage) if we use
ron 95 woh.. coz 97 can burn better and in the proses, it cleans the engine.. True or not ah??

But, from my experience for my old W124 merc, using ron 95 can hear the valves knocking sound while 97 dun have..
What I know is 97 has higher octane while 95 has less which means 97 performs better..

True enough, our CFE got good power, I reckon, in the long run we have to pay more for the fuel if we cont. to use
97.. At the moment, I like to find out, izit necessary to used 97 as a cleaning agent, once a while..

Sendoh-7 dude,

You dun know, meh?? Half tank ron97 and half tank ron 95 = you get ron96.. become scientist liao..
Actually, I did that on my old merc.. I observed no knocking sound..

Added on July 5, 2012, 11:36 amThx bro klate for this info. Knowing that 97 is more superior, I will cont' to pump ron97 once a while..

OMG, heard from my friend some dude has changed the valves twice, still the same.. Still no feedback from SC
Been very patient, gonna visit them this sat, wanna screwwww them liao...

Engine have to run longer without switching off, usual happen during afternoon time..

Bro, if every owner thinks like u, then Proton wud tot that only minority owner only having exceptional case and
not serious!!
Proton wud assume newer badge dun have problem, loh..
Having engine sudden stalls might endangering people's life, coz u dun know when it will happen while driving!!
Even mine, the SA dun allowed me to drive anymore when I make the complain..

Kalamulakhir dude,
Your EB is having symptom juz like mine.. When CVT light ON, the turbo not working, hence very slow acceleration
feel. Mine happened after 4k mileage (4 mth of ownership), was send to SC n diagnosed with OCV n replacement of
"crankshaft angle sensor" Till now, mileage touches 8k, there's non CVT light ON problem so far.. But OCV already
changed twice.. U have to send ur EB to SC, bro..

2die4, can u pm me too for the GPS conversion?? TQ in advance..

ntc2000 dude, Welcome aboard..
