i just thought of this question, let's say i cant get EB fixed in any SC. after endless hopeless ding-dong here and there from SC to SC again, so i send it to repair in workshop outside. then how would proton voids the warranty? it would be void if ONLY THEY KNOW right?

the air filter, how much is it? void warranty?
*
Yeap, warranty void only if they know

Usually parts like air filter, if you change to aftermarket like knn or works etc...they will close one eye. But if got problem change back to stock air filter. play safe.

to date nearly 1 year since the intro of exora bold.

to all current owner, how you find ur bold....esp the CFE version ? happy what u pay for ? any regret...?

i still can't decide.....livina 1.8 or exora bold premium.

I got 3 kids (7,5 and 1 year old). Once a while take my parents and in laws....i will be driving the car to work... and i live in Penang.

I have no regret buying my EB cfe smile.gif
To me, EB is the most value for money MPV under Rm100k
Well equipped accessories, fast pickup and overtaking, cruise at low rpm ( 110km/h @ 2400rpm)

Problem: engine die off twice in my ownership
Solution: go to any SC and tell them change Oil Control Valve. 30 minutes job. No more die off and misfiring when idling

What i slightly dislike, the interior material. The plastic is good, design is acceptable, does not looks cheap but one thing, easily scratch sad.gif

Bro, two things...
1- My engine die off and after changing the OCV and reflash the TCU and ECU still the same, now they suspect the CVT problem and waiting the answer from technical team sad.gif
2- Regarding any scratch on plastic, just use the normal paint polish and the scratch will disappear in no time
Wish me luck (they are thinking to open and play with my gearbox icon_question.gif )
*
1. When your engine die off? During reverse, idle or cruising? Yours sound like serious problem. Try check the spark plug maybe its faulty or something . My EB already change ocv twice, change the first time its normal for few weeks then jerk again. After change again, its working until now smile.gif Goodluck bro, I hope proton know what they arw doing

2. Thanks for the tips smile.gif I really sakit hati see all the scratches, especially at the last row because bring stuff or put kids bag! 8 month car interior already look like 2 years of use dy sad.gif

Bro, how to compare a kancil with mini cooper?? Moreover, our road tax only cost one month from a year for estima.. biggrin.gif

But still, not even a year already ratlling sad.gif
Maybe because the road condition at my housing area is terrible, that's why rattle fast
My old waja, 4years using only started to rattle smile.gif but that was at my old place

this is known issue, rattle actually come from the ABS module. I think you can get SC to fix that

No not that one bro smile.gif that noise come out after hit pothole...not a problem actually
My rattle noise when I accelerate my car from standstill to 20km/h

I dont know why, usually I will just ignore the rattle noise(other car) but this one is so annoying >.<

ok noted.

*took a pen out and jot down..."must avoid pothole at all cost as it might cause severe psychology pressure to myself later on"...

is it timing belt? since u mention accelerate from standstill to 20km/h, i would suggest u take a look at timing belt.
*
Not timing belt coz no screeching sound like that
It sound like a piece of plastic rattle from the left side of the dashboard
I will try clear all my stuff inside the compartment see if the culprit is the thing inside smile.gif

Why not ask Kevin forumer here at  http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2092128&hl= ?
May be he could solve the problem with dashboard treatment.

I also had 3 officemate driving Estima new & used/recond version but the fuel consumption & maintenance 3x from my EB.  icon_idea.gif
I'm now considering to soundproofing my EB full package to get the Estima Luxury feeling. Still searching the best cheapest package.
*
Thanks for the suggestion smile.gif

Maybe if we take off the door visor would help! My 6 years old satria neo(no door visor) produce lower air noise at high speed compare to EB

Expensive and luxury car also mostly dont come with door visor, look at the merc, vw and etc.

Sometimes those rattling sound is come from the small things that you put at the cup/under handbrake compartment. When you accelerate, those small thing will start to produce some rattling sound becoz of the vibration. Have my own experience on that, when i replace those small thing, the rattling sound stop..Might be one of the cause
*
Yeah that one I know, i stop putting coins there because it will rattle like tmr is judgement day biggrin.gif

This one is at the left side of the dashboard, and what mat79 said at previous page is true smile.gif the triang thing at the dashboard not fitted properly. I think i need to take out that piece put superglue and stick it back at it place

I think the magnetrap got advantages especially for new engine as it will trap fine metal
