haha yea no such thing. mine is flx born on march this year. as of now no prob and being part of the group here makes questions much easily answered. cold start for flx, engine jz tends to jump, the rpm u will see jump like a few times, but not heavy jumping, jz a light one. it needs time to warm up only, sometimes we jz dun take enough time to let the engine run, thats all =) thats for cold start.

lol. not everyone will get that drum brake issue la -.-

jz a guideline, b4 1k service dun push the car too much n etc. after 1k service u can start flooring the pedal to make the engine seasoned up.

1st service around rm120. change oil, some filter n some gasket thing only. others tak perlu

Hey guys, currently at 5.2k mileage. Next service belum buat. Erm, nowadays seldom touch the car, like even drive, 1 day probably drive 4km total. Weekends maybe 10-20km. So is there anything I should be aware of? Maybe a 400km drive next month when nearing raya though.

that engine break in is optional.. it just means floor the pedal. u can jz do it once/twice also enough.. if necessary.

2. manual or auto? that shud be the engine breaking, it wont use up more petrol. if u press accelerator to overcome that rev, u will end up using more petrol

3. aircond is like that, sometimes compressor works at intervals, thats y u hear it bising for a while, then suddenly quiet for a while n bising again. if u are constantly driving, very seldom that u will feel hot when aircond is max in hot weather.

they dun give u the car, but u can claim the money, like u can make claim rm50 per day for car rental. the duration begins from the day ur car gets fixed till u get it back. claim duration? nt sure, u need ask ur insurance agent.

@isildur : whichever suits u, haha, if u rather fork out the cash rather than the hassle. you can just go ahead.

@mivecwira : usually after 1k can drive faster already, the logic explained by other senior members here is that the engine parts, are more refined after the 1k service. there are posts in previous threads. so after 1k u can drive faster. they say its to tune up ur ECU so it knows ur driving style, and in long term helps to conserve petrol. break in is definitely optional, i only do it sometimes. haha.

engine breaking in auto, is totally normal.. u need control brake, not accelerator during that part. fyi im from sarawak, and i drove up from kuching to sibu recently, a total of 450km. there was 2 hills, as i was going down, despite engine braking at 2.5k rpm, my car speed was nearing 80-100km/h. and the engine braking is a big advantage for our car, especially if you are driving the Genting road.

and finally, itu aircond sound memang powerful. proton has one of the strongest aircond compared to others.

whats ur Q again? lol


Added on July 4, 2012, 11:45 pmif you want a peace of mind, just service it before raya.

most important is the duration. if your car last service is 3 months ago, then you should pay a visit to your SC, eventhough your mileage is still low.


Added on July 4, 2012, 11:47 pmcity driving and short driving distance is actually more harsh for the engine compared to frequent highway travelling. This is due to the car is stuck in jam most of the time in city. And when a car is stuck in jam most of the time, it gets heats up pretty quickly. Ever notice why your radiator fan keeps on spinning repeatedly when idling? coz the car isnt moving, so there is no air entering the engine bay. engine gets hot and needs the radiator fan to draw cooler air outside into the engine bay to cool it down.
