Ya, my dad told me, during his time in the 80's, when volvo had their first turbo cars, they gave
training to those who wish to test drive so that they won't bump the front cars.. laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Enjoy ur car, bro.. icon_rolleyes.gif

tx bro. but i think not so easy to bump becuz they introduce the lag after you press pedal only power come out

next time i go proton service, i will ask them to adjust instant power. icon_rolleyes.gif

I was once like you when I've got my car, trying to argue with Proton icare about going to install locktech pedal lock system. As I said that the system will not cut the original wire, but they said that it will still void the warranty because you'll be messing around with the fuse connections...duhh doh.gif

so just leave it as it is? good enough?

I think should suffice adding pedal lock like the autolock.

Shah said pedal lock also will break warranty

If I am not mistaken 3yrs is from proton, then extended warranty 2 years covered by bank. At least this is what I remember talking to the salesman.

extended warranty to 150k km or 5 years. anyone has this on their ride?

will you guys consider to reduce the lag from pressing pedal to when power is available?

the SA said can be done and won't void warranty but must be done at Proton service centre lah

i do not understand what do you meant reduce the lag when pressing pedal? my exorabold is from May 2012 consider 1st batch?

when you press the pedal, the power seems to kick in to move your car after a very short while unlike most car you get instant power

was told by SA this one can be tweak to be like normal car to have instant power when pedal is pressed

My small wish
1. The Exora come with brighter head light
2. The tapping signal is too short (5 blinks), would be nicer if it can be adjusted to say 15 blinks.

Overall very satisfied with my choice of the ride provided the MPV can stand the time test to maintain its good quality smile.gif

hi bro

i think the tapping of signal can adjust right? it is just some timer / counter

maybe can ask the service centre?

Hi guys

Been driving for 1 week (odo around 250km). this is my status report

1) fc about 6.3 km/l, full city drive. I understand first 100k fc is normally lousy but just want to confirm if mine normal?

2) when I go through some small pot hole, only the back tyre, some time can hear like clanking sound for a short while. I remember someone reported similar case. Any idea what it is?

3) understand that the fan will keep running after stop engine to cool down the turbo. But sometime when I drive for 15 min them shut off engine the fan didn't kick start. I thought 15 min drive should be quite got already.normal?

4) heard some minor sound on the dashboard board area only today but at the moment not serious.anyone had this experience?

5) just now my engine suddenly die off from idle and going into very slow movement. Anyone got this experience?

Other than that, my eb is great (so far)

My eb also got hiccup problem when idle or not moving. If what longy said about variable valve timing is true then sucks lah. I thought they tested the engine and car for 250,000 km already,  cannot believe proton.

About the fan spinning thing,  if I drive without turning on the aircon,  it will spin for 5 minutes after I shut off the engine, everytime.
If I drive with aircon on, the probability the fan will spin after turn off engine is like 1/30. So rare, and if it spin, it's like for 2-3 minutes only.

Coming from manufacturing industry, I can understand this tested vs actual production engine

those tested engine most of the time, is specially made and monitored carefully by engineers involve in the project. So you will get very high quality ones for engine used in this kind of run

But mass production engine different. Quality check normally by technician or operator or machine. Engineers seldom involved unless got big quality issue detected

so even when during design stage all look ok but production screw up, will still have issue
