Take my EB for balek kampung (from Penang to Kelantan) last Saturday - sharing my experience.

Minuses
- Experience engine die twice, one during reverse and another when going forward from parking. In both incident I put the gear to reverse/Drive immediately after start the engine.
- Don't think the fuel is that save, it just so-so. I expect better consumption coming from a 1.6l engine

Plusses
- Power is good going uphill and downhill with ease, one thing is I don't think I experience any engine braking. Can overtake other cars with confidant .... but of course I loose to those who take risk to overtake at double line/corners when a slow vehicle is hogging the road
- Handling is good, took corners with confidance.
- Don't feel tired driving 5 hrs straight with one 20mins stop for prayer... I think because of the higher sitting position compare to car, the power is good enough for overtaking and kids have good space to keep them comfortable and quite.

I also experimented the SAT function ....feel have more instant power when floor the pedal campare to in D. But the low speed experience is rougher than in D.

My overall comment, if Proton can take care the OWV/OCV and some complaint on the aircond with reliable CVT gear (at this time has no knowledge of anyone having CVT problem yet)... this can be a good decent MPV to own. Pretty good looking and good compromise size for both daily usage as well as balek kampung.

Bro,

What the update regarding to your delay launch?

Delay launch = EB lambat jalan from stand still.

Isn't you are the one that complaint the EB slow response to throttle from stop to moving ?

That is why I seldom wash my car

Brotan,

How is your ride after servicing?

Yes care to share how to convert..... is Papago better than lokatoo?.
I'm familiar with Garmine. Try to play around with Lokatoo but not very familiar thus hard to operate.

Personally Cocoa Greay nice when it is clean and shining but not so nice if not clean. I was considering the cocoa grey before but endup with silver.

Waiting time is very much depending on the outlet availability and SA... go to less populated outlet if wanted to get faster.

My 1k service was simply change engine oil and filter ... that it. Done in 45mins. Oh forgot they also forced me to buy the magnetic ring or something like that (forget the exact name call).

Added on July 31, 2012, 9:07 pmI play more with lokatoo and after becoming more familiar with its function I found that it is not very bad. At least it come with Junction View. However I found quiet few POI are outdated, garmine is more updated. Believe Garmine is more recent because it is a community effort Vs one company effort.

Where to look for oil leak? ... Like to take a look at my EB as well.

Interested ... PM you already. Thanks.

Thanks bro .... it work like a charm. Your instruction is very clear and Screenshot of your directory setup is very useful.

Papago is pretty easy to use and self explain, I was able to use right away without having prior experience. Map is updated and accurate just like Garmine (come from the same community effort).

Congratulation on the new ownership. Other than the OCV and OWV problems that experience by few owners here I personally feel there car is indeed a great car.

For the oil the service center will normally use the Petronas Synthium 1000 fully synthetic unless you ask them to use different grade. I ask them to use Synthium 800 instead.

This morning my wife complain the Temperature gauge is shooting high and there are Grrrr sound when starting the engine.

Check the water OK .... confirm the temperature with her ... actually OK (3 bars) she thought 3 bars is too high

Cannot reproduce the Grrrrr sound yet (I never encounter that)

... I installed and get the Papago to work already .

I got my car on 31st June ....current ODO is ~6.5k km... have not experience any of the OCV/OWV sympton or other annoying problem yet ... touch wood

Thanks Bro ... How is your aircond, does it get fix and what was wrong with it?

Bro ....

I PM you the step described by 2die4

2die4,
Hope you don't mind I forward your PM to our Bro here....

Bro,

Actually I just forward the steps described by bro 2die4 on how to put papago into our lokatoo

Lets wait for the rightfull owner (2die4) to come back and forward to all you guys since I do not get his permission yet. I'm sure it is OK with him, but just not nice of me to go forward to many person without his acknowledge first .

If related to CVT you can throw the question at the autoworld forum http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?showforum=43

If you are lucky the Punch Powertrain CVT engineer may response to your question directly.

If I'm not mistaken there was another such complain in the outoworld forum. The sympthom is the engine RPM suddenly dip below 800 and the CVT light come out. Explaination from kristof (CVT engineer) could be related to engine RPM too low for CVT oil pump to work. In other word for that incident could due to OCV problem that causing engine to die (low RPM).

Thanks ... Since you help me ... I try to help others also.

I use back all your instruction and links to your files.

SInce you are back I'll let you do the honor of sharing. Whenever you are not around than I know you don't mind me helping you spreading the news
