hmm my theory is you need to change the Oil Control Valve lah my friend, coz when i changed mine, the SC told me other than die off when idle or reversing, OCV also can cause your EB will 'makan minyak' a lot  nod.gif

which SC do you go that assist to to change the OCV? Already went to to SC and complained on die off when idle at traffic light and once during reversing, but the SC staff said never heard about other EB hv same problem or need to change OCV... doh.gif

Bro ... what is your mileage ... have you done the 1st 1k service?. My experience the FC is worst when I just receive my car and improving over time. Currently my car is at 3.6k fuel consumption on highway driving 100km/h is ~8l/100km. It is much worse before 1st service.

OK Drive my EB to work today, it is raining a bit so the road is wet. Idle RPM is ~900, when release pedal the car will move forward ~5km/h. Pressing the pedal will give instant power, when the RPM pass 2.5k can feel the power surge and tire spin so need to release pedal - I don't feel the lag. If driving < 40km/h I feel like driving a manual due to CVT noise and the power surge when pressing the pedal.

do you guys notice that creeping around 5km/h actually increases fuel consumption?
worse than pressing accelerator at 20km/h

Klate,
I share same feel/experience as you. The lethargic feel/cvt whine obvious only during very heavy traffic jam , constant stop/go.

The rubber band effect of the CVT only present when accelerating hard from standstill or very low speed (ie feel like slipping manual clutch) . When the car in progress , under my normal driving style ,the rubberband effect do not occur at all which makes the CVT even more enjoyable to drive as the engine speed translate more accurately onto required road speed for overtaking,negotiating bends, uphill climb, better engine braking etc. I also noticed stopping to standstill smoother when compared to normal auto.

As far as the S.A.T feature is concerned, I think it is redundant. The the rpm is artificially dipped just to simulate the the normal torque converter autobox with no corresponding improvement in pickup, infact pickup is retarded. The 'L' feature ( which has no mention at all in the user manual!?) probably function as 'S' where the gearbox is mapped for urgent progress but never liked it also as the engine became louder. I guess Proton was worried that the CVT is too
abrupt of a change and on the safe side included the SAT feature, or maybe its just a marketing gimmick.

actually the reading shoots to the max reading of 19.9l/km and stops there..
i didnt aware that the real time reading is limited to this number hmm.gif

not really a complaint la..just wondering why creeping at 1k rpm is using so much fuel as compared to pressing the pedal to 1.5k rpm, when the cvt is actually engaged

btw, do you really feel the FC improves? and how long they need to change?

Ordering the part may take a week or two, but changing the part is not that hard cause the ocv is just below the engine bay only.

Are OCV/OWV same as sprocket vvt? coz SC told me that my EB have to change that part with new part (order one).

And it will take one day to change it, really?

I did release the pedal and let the car rolled @ 5km/h .. the current fuel consumption meter keep going up from 6l/100 to 14l/100 and continue to rise. I think this is due sensors and calculation algorithm limitation, believe there are not enough fuel and may be speed for the ECU to calculate the car consumption correctly. Even though it is in the instant indicator mode, the ECU still need to know the amount of fuel being used and distance travel to calculate the consumption. Actually it is doing the sampling over the very short inverval of time.

By the way I notice switching off engine and the fan turn on occurrence is getting less now.
