My EB have never once got it's fan running after engine switched off. Never during town driving. Not even after driving for 30 mins at 90kph.  No engine funny sound either. Nothing. Should I be worried? LOL
*
the fan needs to keep running to cool down the turbo engine as it is naturally hotter (that's what the SA told me)

if the engine is not cooled down properly, the engine might not last long

maybe you have a "cool" engine rclxms.gif

hi guys,

now my odo at 323 km

as reported earlier, i got 6.3km/l full city drive. is this normal before 1st service? kind of high. the way i check if pump full petrol, reset odo, drive until the petrol meter drop a few level, then pump full again, check how many km i travelled, calculate manually

Yesterday, when I was driving in Ipoh town, my EB engine suddenly stalled!! Finally, after hearing someone from this
forum having this problem, I experience it myself.. Restart engine, it runs like normal again, while the choking is still
there when cooling fan switching on & off between intervals.
To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed with proton, this is my first proton & will i be thinking of giving proton another
chance?? My answer is.. "no way"
Juz think abt it, proton is already coming to 30 years old.. There are certain level of acceptance when we buy P, but
for this case, I do think it is acceptable. Moreover, this is my 4th car, very seldom use, got my car during CNY, milage is 5k, OCV valve already changed once.. I noticed that my EB start to choke when the engine runs hot, normally
during noon..
So, Dinknight dude, be prepared if u still want to go ahead..

hi bro

your stalling is when idle ?

I think all our EB CFE symptom are the same, mine during idling the engine stopped right after it chokes..
I guessed most of us choose EB due to its space & attractive pricing, if only proton put more effort into it then
who can come close??
Come-on proton!! Wake up!! There are some issue here!!

didn't anyone complain about this when they go for service?

just to give some "positive" vibes to the thread, i got my eb end of june (roughly 1 week ++). full city drive

For the time being, I don't have some of the problems highlighted by some of the EB owners here

I don't hv

1) Swirl left issue
2) petrol smell in the car when pumping petrol
3) rocking front seat (maybe i have but i don't know what is this actually but i don't feel anything funny on my seat)
4) reverse camera issue (don't remember what issue is that but my reverse camera works fine)
5) wind sound (again i don't know what that means actually but i only hear the turbo wrrr.... sound which imo quite pleasant)

i do have other problems i stated in my earlier post

anyway, my car is still new, so not sure will face more problems later but it is possible newer batch cars has a lot of problems fixed

Bro, from what I have been reading here in this thread from page 1 and the earlier closed thread, no point commenting after 1 week delivery that everything works fine and that are no problems as per what has been reported by earlier owners.

Because sooner or later (usually after a month of ownership), problems will arise. Everyone has been expecting the newer batch of EBs (myself included) to have the major issues like OWV and engine stalling fixed, but it's still happening!
*
agree with you on the 1 week thing. anyway, let's see how it goes

btw, this OWV is what? i keep reading it but don't understand what are they

if not mistaken, this one way valve is something to do with the CVT oil reserve/circulation..
i believe this is part problem..since after change still can hear the noise after a while..
*
what do you mean by "since after change still can hear the noise after a while.." ?

btw, how to detect if i hv this OWV problem?

the noise when starting the engine in the morning..
klak klak, i think? apparently this is due to no oil reserve in the cvt
our EBs are still new..seems like 50-50 chance will happen sometime later

ok. will pay notice to this

There 2 major problem...one way valve (owv) and oil control valve (ocv)...

owv problem due to oil starvation at engine head as some oil slip from the owv inside. In reduce the klak2 sound...on the suis but do not start engine suddenly let it on for 10 to 20 sec as the oil pump will pump oil to head...also if start do not over crank it. just soft and release fast.

On the OCV is the main control system for CVT...what i know is this are the cause engine sudden die or stalling...maybe because of OCV malfuction...or there choking of oil on the system...servis center can changes it fast but for owv take at least 3 day as need to open engine head....
Be patience my fren all...i also suspect my car got owv problem but not so bad sound...wait till my 2nd servis to complaint...
*
can't we contact punch on this since they supplied the cvt?

P.S. i think i am a bit too optimistic. lol


Added on July 3, 2012, 10:19 amgeneral question

within the warranty period, we only pay for normal periodical 5000km service and everything else is paid by proton?

Brotan dude, watch this, you'll be able to understand  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxmV8Qy805s)

Well, I do learned to delay start engine, even wait until airbag light off from day one i received my car.. My real worry
is, those valves that u have mention, it has been changed..
People likes to talk abt 1 badge is like this la.. we are the white mouse la.. I think my EB cfe is more like R&D stage..mad.gif
OMG.. now i'm turning into proton basher.. cry.gif
*
got it. will pay attention to this. btw, there is 1 dude said ...

Problem rectified. It was the "one way valve" that faulty...Oil drained through this valve, causing starvation of VVT.

means he found the issue or he solved it? and is that your car?

Agree ... I bought the Unser in 2001, beside regular oil change what I can remember is patching up the radiator twice for small leak and a minor repair on throttle body to fix rought engine. Other than that the baby is trouble free even I abuse it kaw ...kaw ....  Push RPM close to red line everytime climbing hill on the way back to  Kelantan from Penang. It still serve me well till today, tu sayang nak let go even after getting the EB.
