At the bottom of the engine room, there is one U hook. I think that one hit the ground..

don't need to do so,.. just send your car for car wash. Their water gun is more pressure than the Rain....

so far better than PE, more smile and more willing to listen.. see the result.. i told them if they can fix just fix... because overall they are 2S and not 3S...

what is your gross income?

totally agree with USELESS COSE. I sent my car there twice and each time spent more than 4 days... My car is still jerking, not light jerking, it is obvious when car is slowing down. Every day stuck in the jam, it is paintful... The ESC light is still on and didn't go off, alignment is still problem, wind noise is still there.....

jerking? like u stop at traffic light and it jerk right? continue jerking. just now Liew's also complain.. and this assigned mechanic bring him out jalan jalan and show him.. later i check with him see got fix or not...

ESC light? did they diagnostic it the ECU?? i asked the Mechanic to reset  my car ECU dont know they will do it for me or not.. DM SC told them but they never do for me...

My ESC light is on when ESC is activated and the light didn't go off until i off the engine. As per my understanding, the light should be blinking when ESC is activated.

The Jerking..... It is like driving a manual car but you didn't use the lower gear when the power is not there. The "power supply" is not enough to move the car.. Therfore, the car is moving like a horse. It is really uncomfortable.

You are in SC now? please help me to check with the technician there whether there know what how to fix it... notworthy.gif

Proton CVT uses a clutch, just like a Manual Transmission would but Proton CVT's is wet type clutch. So best way to look at your CVT is to think of it being a Manual Transmission. Like any Manual Transmission, it is better to press the accelerator a bit more to supply more petrol to engine instead of riding the clutch for more power, for example, when going uphill.

In your case, everything is supposed to be automatic so I suspect it is the ECU setting not being done right.

Thanks for the input. i really no idea what is going wrong. What I can confirm is, my car is Automatic instead of Manual, it shouldn't give me that kind of feel...... mad.gif

The COSE said all problem solved... ask me paid and go... mad.gif

After changing the OWV, no more over crank sound but today all of a sudden when going over a uneven road strange loud metal knocking sound from the front undercarriage. Question, does the metal knocking sound have to do with the OWV or maybe something loose when putting back the engine head or something else. Can anyone clarify or have come across this, tq

There is a hook under the engine room. Most likely the knocking sound is due to the hook hit something.

for no 2, it is the characteristic of the CVT especially when it is still new. Give it a couple of run in and it will jerk less.

Hi, i have the same problem of jerking. That is extremely uncomfortable and annoying. Any idea it needs how long to run in the cvt? Mind is around 3200++ milleage now.
It is just jerk less instead of "missing"?

Oh dem.

Well ill try my luck to book tomorrow. The sound is really annoying.

Anyways, my list of complints would be;

1) mounting not tight, so engine vibrates more.

2) jerking like manual car when slowing down.

3) sluggigh gear, esp during revesing.

4) wind noise at the c pillar.

Mind is abang adik with ur car. Same problem. In fact, i have sent my car to cose twice but the problems are still there. Pls share with us when u found any SE or anyone or way to overcome the problem.
