ok thanks.
will get them "bend it like Beckham"

very good explanation bro..

hi... don forget to take pic... what to bend and where its located.

i will try to walk into their service bay...if allow
this time have to ask the service advisor to check my car is scratch free before let them open up and fix those affected.

Received my elegant brown two weeks ago. 1.6 CVT premium, WXC 3XXX, CN 8***

I started the car using this method: insert FOB -> press start button once -> press start button again and wait until all indicators go off -> press brake pedal -> press start button when green light appears. No problem happened for the first week.

Now the problem comes. Try to press the brake pedal before starting the engine but it is so stiff, almost like locked. Try to press harder, no success Take the FOB out, insert it again, re-do the engine start steps, press the brake pedal again, now I press harder, then the green light comes.

Strangely, after the engine starts, pressing the brake pedal is soft and back to normal.

Do you guys face the same problem? I am worried that my brake will fail when the car is moving.

Very Normal Bro. That's because you have pumped out the air in the brakes. Once u start it. the air is entered into it again. It's something like that. Just explaning in some layman terms LOL

That is normal for almost all cars (boosted brakes). Try it even in a Merc or a Kancil. Engine off, keep pressing and release the pedal, it will get harder and harder to press.

is like that...

the moral of the story...dont simply step on the break...

Thanks for very fast reply But why during the first week I could easily press the brake (fully pressed down) before starting the engine? Only these few days the brake becomes stiff. This happens when I leave the engine off for overnight. When leaving it off for few hours, the brake pedal is soft when starting the engine.

I never drove Merc or Kancil, so cannot comment on them

oh i see..
that mean the male is not horny enuf la
thnks bro fulat..

When you leave your engine off, did you press the brake pedal. The soft pedal is due to vacuum boost. Cars should have enough vacuum for two pedal application (stepping on the pedal) with engine off. If you leave overnight and the pedal is hard in the morning even though the pedal was never touched then you might have a vacuum leak somewhere.

But do not worry yet, check whether this happens everyday. If it no longer happens then some family members may have went inside your car to test a few things. You did say you just received your car, maybe they were curious.

yesterday i tried to drive around to test the rubber i stick on my car...sound reduce like 70-80%...probably due to using big D...

then i also notice another thing, if i lift up my foot (press brake) when starting engine, the rpm will rev until 2k rpm....guess need to press brake until the engine finish starting...

Thanks bro, your explanation does make sense to me. It could be a vacuum leak. Definitely will ask SC to rectify during my 1000 km service.

My son is 3 years old, never touched the car. I don't know if my neighbor masuk dalam kereta and try-try when I was sleeping

some ppl said.. better not do the sound proof so extreme.. later u hit someone also u dont know... lol

what i notice significantly is that, when nearning traffic light, normally there are yellow stripes with minor bumps right, when passing that yellow stripes, barely hear the bumping sound at all....just can feel bumpy only...

yes... thats almost like mine. and those kapchai have come ver near my car then only i hear their engine sound.

open and close door is 2 different world
