how many of you guys sent your car to SC until the warranty ends.. i am nearing the 15k mileage, and im starting to evaluate whether to continue to send to sc or not.. the price that sc charges seems quite ridiculuos.. especially during the 20k service, which is rm500++..

i send my car to SC when its still under warranty, and now warranty expired, no longer send back to SC anymore.

i do sent it until the warranty ends. lucky i do. as your never know what to claim.
try to opt out something that is not needed for the service. will be cheaper i guess.
i think my most expensive service is around 480.
my warranty also over now XD servicing outside is cheaper. but the extra money is used to buy fully synthetic.

i sent to CoSE at shah alam. but their service is very bad. keep complaining same problem but still can't solve til now.
warranty also going to end soon which i'm quite worry to pay a lot to repair for future. even they change my brake disc n pad they can give back me my car without checking the alignment. plus the brake now need to press more if not no brake.  n they still can called me up told me i have check EVERYTHING as i left my car there for 2 days cause they said wan to check PROPERLY to confirm everything is OK.   


i have tried few RON95 n i tink caltex works better. and i do agree that RON97 have better performance. but i tink my car have something like the ts prob. mayb i should try change to RON97 and c how it works.

If those people have so much to complain about RON95, I think NGV is instant overhaul for them.

More than 90% of the population use RON95 and most of them didn't have the problem like that.
You think the oil company will open themselves to the whole country to shoot them.

B line and M line brakes memang tak makan based on the feedbacks here. Dun change brake pads at SC. They really potong you one. As for brake sounds, can describe the problem? Screeching like mad everytime you pressed the brakes whether softly or very hard?

go change other brake pad brand than stock bosch. I am driving M-Line. i quite satisfy with the braking power i have now.

A lot brand u can choose from like RS pad, Bendix Metal King Titanium, Fedoro, Trestor Blue Advantage, and etc.

for me no. i am not sure about B-line and M-line coz the braking different.
maybe need more power to stop the car. but changing that frequently means you are braking quite hard most of the time i suppose.
but i only change once. mine is h-line.
if you are using stock pad, why not try to use high performance pad?

i don't really brake hard cause i don't like to do that. usually i will brake slowly.
since 1 or 2 months i bought the car, there are several brake sounds until recently proton change my brake disc.
i have been visited proton once a month bcos of the brake. then after the first 9months they said brake pad finish.
so i change it. they said after change no sound. but after 2 to 3 weeks the sound come back.
then recently i went there again and they said brake pad finish again. i make a complain so they just said brake disc prob. change my brake disc.

what is high performance pad? i don't really know bout car.

common problem , dont think any solution from that. when its new the sound cant hear but after few month sure got sound. xD

What do you expect from proton car?

I didn't expect more from them but recently they only told me the prob is the brake disc cause bengkok dy so will cut off the brake pad more..tats y my brake pad need to change so fast n got sound..so I have complain for 1 n half yr but now only they said this is the prob? N I have to pay double the cost..

Usually is eeee but sometimes got some different sound but not the brake pad hangus sound also..now reverse also got some weird sound n turning the steering time also same..

Just sealant

Im still sending it. For major service only just to keep the warranty there, Minor can do outside.

RON95 damage his car?
Kinda fairytale story to me.
Is his engine tuned and fixed to ron 97 only?

Bosch is decent brand. I'm still using mine for almost 2 years already.
When going downhill from genting I always swept pass by those people waiting for their brakes to cool down at roadside
You need to see for yourself whether the brake pad needs to be changed or not. Can see through the rim there, I suspect the sc cutting your throat. It shouldnt be change so frequently with just stock pad, stock disc and normal driving style. For the eee sound mine also got, that 1 have to just live with it. If the pad really going to finish, there'll be a higher pitch sound.
For other sound maybe you can record for us to hear whether is it normal or something unusual going on.

i am also having the same problems with my person M-line. Is there anyway to fix that? or can recommend me any brake pad and brake disc to minimise the sound?

Are you liz_syh?
When you driving and use the brakes on and off, the brake disc will get hot.
If dun believe, then try not to touch the disc after a long drive. You will get burn if you do.
Now, if the disc is very hot and maybe you go wash it or go for bangla wash, then the disc will warp (bengkok) lah.
Because it is metal mah. Try doing that by splashing water to a hot metal.
From visual check by eyes, maybe not much can be seen but if take out and measure probably will see the warpage.

Checking in.. Didnt had time to open new thread.. Nvm now let Fubar take over..

If wait for you, snake also die oh. Welcome back!

Normal drive still okay as long you don't like wash car after coming back from genting la. Cause sometime I wash my car after coming back but there is no like 'shhhhhhh' when the disc is wet la.

Slowpoke.

Bro, just because no steam came out doesn't means it wouldn't warp.
From naked eyes you can't see it. Only when take out then we know.
