Want to check on the 1st 1,000km service, are there any special work done like reflash of the ECU etc for the EB premium. Since my unit do not have any major prob , I thought of just going to those smaller authorised service center and get it done quickly.
Another question, where is the gearbox oil dipstick location (if any). Could not find it anywhere near the CVT gb. |

Since my unit do not have any major prob , I thought of just going to those smaller authorised service center and get it done quickly. 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).Another question, where is the gearbox oil dipstick location (if any). Could not find it anywhere near the CVT gb. 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 However I found quiet few POI are outdated, garmine is more updated.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.

I read somewhere tha one guy vehemently insisted that if u want to safe fuel, u should press the SAT button if taking long drives as then the car would be running on 6 gears as opposed to only 4 using CVT. Another person said that everything is electronically controlled and using CVT is the most fuel efficient method.
Another thing, my car has less than 50 km on it, so can I take a long ride up till 120km/h before the first service or shld I go slower. The manual says it's ok and to maintain the rev at 3100rpm. Pls advice, anyone...TQVM Added on August 1, 2012, 11:32 am*shld not exceed 3100 rpm..not maintain..sorry.. This post has been edited by pokdengs: Aug 1 2012, 11:32 AM |

Another person said that everything is electronically controlled and using CVT is the most fuel efficient method. the basic thing you should know about CVT is the non existence of physical gears in the CVT system itself. Instead of cogs and gears, CVT works on belt and pulleys. So there are no 4 gears,5 gears whatsoever. The SAT mode is only a button to activate the software controlled, virtual 6 speed mode. It gives the feel of driving a car with a six speed gearbox.Another thing, my car has less than 50 km on it, so can I take a long ride up till 120km/h before the first service or shld I go slower.

BTW... please do PM me if anyone here need the file... will share how to & all the file needed?? dunno can post here or not... might broke lyn forum rules maybe... 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). |

Got a call from my SA today. He said that I can collect my car this coming Friday. So happy and can't wait to hop in and start driving..
It really surprise me for the car to arrive in just 2 weeks time since ppl are saying the EB premium is in hot demand. Any good suggestion for car detailing and tinted packages? TQ Added on August 1, 2012, 9:03 pmWhat oil did the EB premium use if we service at authorized Proton service center? Will they allow us to bring our own oil if we can get it cheaper outside?

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. |

What is wrong with this Proton ? It has been more than 8 months they launched the Exora Bold Premium CFE, and the problem seems to be OCV and OMV......why can't they changed it or rectify it after so long ? Takde otak kar Proton punya engineer ? For the oil the service center will normally use the Petronas Synthium 1000 fully synthetic unless you ask them to use different grade.
