Hi All bro here,
I am a newbie here. Received my EB in June2012.
About 2 weeks after, my EB had problem.
While waiting at traffic light (with engine running) out of suddend "CVT alarm" indiciated at panel. Try press the fuel paddle but car not moving. So call proton hotline, where he advise to off engine, open front bonet & disconnet battery terminal.
Then he asked to re-connet battery terminal.
After, "CVT alarm" cleared. Can move as usual.

But what really frustrating me was yesterday (about 1.5 months after above incident).
"CVT alarm" indicated at panel when slowing down upon road hump. Off the engine for 1 min then switch on. "CVT alarm" cleared and i start the engine. Moving again. Then it happened again! Argh....
This thing happened 4 times yesterday.
Finally i gave up, drive back home (luckily not too far from home) and switch my other car.
Hmmm....bad experience to me.
Anyone can share/help me in this matter.
To the extend i feel like to sell my EB now!

In dire need....huh

perhaps you have pressed the SAT button on the gear tu.I've experienced (CVT light on) while driving a FLX SAGA owned by my father ... at first I'm quite panic, but after my father switch off the SAT button, (deactivate) the CVT light warning off ....

Just got my EB..

Fill in full tank got smell inside cabin. Think a few users got this also. Any clue yet why this happen?

Also realized got wind noise from driver side at above 100.

Then, the fan sound after u switch off the engine, woahh!! That is loud.. Worried neighbour will complain at night.

Other than that, all good.. Acceleration is good as expected.

I also received my EB yesterday...got the same sound as you when engine is shutting down..it is the sound of cooling fan for turbo system..dont worry bro. Havent drive it exceed 100km/h (belum abis pantang) ehehehe..enjoy your EB

To own an EB you need a alot of  patience  smile.gif
first few months need regularly go sc to claim warranty, if not livina will suit you the best. If livina comes with turbocharged and big space like exora bold i definitely choose grand livina

My eb problem
Oil control valve - no permanent solution yet
Right front lamp got water sip in - claimed at sc
Squeaky driver seat - claimed at sc
Gear knob not pointing straight - sc fixed it
Fuel lid hard to open - sc adjusted already

Thank God i dont have one way valve problem and other major prob,  my eb already 9k  km  smile.gif
*
If I may know..how did you find out that you have a problem with Oil Control Valve?? Is it becoz of the FC?? or there is a physical evidence?? hmm.gif

CONFUSED

hmm.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif hmm.gif

Hi all,

Need to ask you all about the type of engine oil used for EB 1st service. I do refer to the manual and it says that you need to used 10W30 for engine oil.

But this morning I was told by the officer at the SC that the manual is wrong. It is duplicated from CPS exora. The reason he said is that our interval period for service is every 10k km that's why need to used fully synthetic which is Syntium 1000 15W50 is it true.???

Is it affect our engine in long term??

Anyone get the same experience??? rclxub.gif hmm.gif

its actually depending on how heavy do you used your EB. it was highly recommended for those who are a heavy traveller to use a high quality of EO (engine oil) which literally means fully synthetic... the advantage, u could prolonged ur service interval.. if the car was on heavy used, i will not let it last for 10k.. i would shorten the interval a bit, such as every 8k or 9k, because basically when it reach 8k, based on my own experience, the engine started to feel a bit lag, a sign of EO not performing well.. one might argue this, but im talking about the car was on heavy use, such as 10k of mileage in less than a month... if u think that u commute ur EB as usual, not so heavy driving, less long journey, u might opted for semi synthetic that required for a 5k service interval... mind you, VW car was design for fully synthetic EO on 15k service interval, but if u spoke to the mechanic, u will hear more less the same like the one i wrote above... just my 2 cents..  thumbup.gif
*
I thought the service interval that shows in the service booklet and the types of EO in the manual have been take into consideration by those engineer in proton...Otherwise what is the point of having those info in the manual and the service booklet..?? Is it just the save point to be considered by the users ???

Can someone explain ??

Lotus magazine also report using 10W30 for the CFE. So is that SC saying everybody else is wrong and he alone is right?

Sorry, my mistake. Lotus actually say "lower viscosity mineral oil was specified to allow extended service interval".

 

*
I do think this is their way to finished their stock for fully syntech EO...or they just want to raise up their monthly revenue...will be more careful next time and insist for 10W30 instead

to add into that, on my 1000km and 5000km service, i saw on my bill that they pour "X-1R" engine treatment. Now the question is, did the manual said that the CFE engine Bold/Preve need to put the X-1R oil engine treatment?

It cost me RM45-50 bucks for that treatment and i didn't asked for the treatment. Is it necessary?
*
Those X-1R is an additive for engine treatment and not necessarily to be use. But usually the standard procedure when you are at SC is ..they will list down all the parts and oil that they suggest and it's up to you whether you want it or not...I do think in your case you didn't realize it and accept it all...So be careful next time and do read the list before you sign it....just my 2 cent

So, what do you think might be the explanation? Just now wifey sent the car to SC for 10k sevice, told them of the issue, seemed to find no problems with the car.

I do think that the characteristic between turbo and soft turbo charged is not the same...that's why the fan is acting different way
