Mine never beeps. When it locks you get one long flash of turn signal. Unlock 3 flashes of turn signal. But never beeps.

My car was not driven for 3 days. Last night, got to it and found out the batter was flat and when i got into the car (by opening the door manually), I'm hearing tick tak tick tak sounds (like it's from a relay) behind the 3 emergency light button.

Soon after, I have jump started the car, run for a while to recharge the battery and things are back to normal.

I'm suspecting the alarm was triggered and had drained the battery.

Anyone have similar experience?

you'll only encounter that the moment you start the car and straight away slot into R or D. Letting it to warm up for 1 minute solves the issue. Thats why after driving a while, it wont happen since the engine has already reached its optimum operating temperature.

might be a funny solution in light of the advancement in automotive technology, but it is a simple solution for a problem. smile.gif

FYI, I'm also facing the same issue in my Saga. Same goes to thousands of 02-06 Mini Cooper CVT owners. smile.gif

Actually the engine is already warmed up cos been driving. After restart 5 mins later then it happened. Will monitor & see. hmm.gif

Below are the issue which might help someone:-

1. Lock indicator can't be push. [Please proceed to SC to rectify this problem]
2. Gear console lighting does not appear / dark. Sometimes P and R only got lights. [Please proceed to SC to rectify this problem]
3. Hood light warning issue. [Do not attempt to fix it yourself, quickly bring it to the SC]
4. ESC indicator failed. [Proceed to SC and replace the panel.]
5. Car jerking while half way driving then engine cut off. Engine sign came out. [Send it to SC, it is rectified and solved already. Key control board issue]
6. Member tkaira reported issue with locking mechanism will alternate between lock/unlock by itself. Experience during driving sometimes the doors will lock and unlock at random times. [Rectify at SC, change driver door latch]
7. Some user reported their driver side windows can only auto down but not up. [Rectify at SC]
8. Some user report cold start engine issue like those of exora bold. [Rectify at SC]
9. Wind noise issue coming from C pillar at about 80-90km/h. [Proton acknowledge and is investigating] [A member here has found that the issue originate from the rubber at the small window. He put a playdoh on both upper corner of the small window and the noise disappear]
10. Rear boot can suddenly open by itself. [Rectify at SC]
11. Rear dashboard rattles
Solution: Dismantle the dashboard and stick some padding at the rear middle on the bottom side.


12. Very high FC before 1k or after 1k service about
Solution: Reset the FC reading, n drive normally. If ur a heavy footer, then don't bother asking about FC.

13. C pillar wind sound while cruising
Solution: from front left c-pillar after 110kmph-fixed by sc,using silicone over welding joint

14. Issues with fabric seats (stitching, thread coming out, sound while sitting)
Solution: Inform SC, usually problematic seats will be replaced. For fastest replacement, visit COE.

15. Left rear weird sound
Solution: solved by SC,loose nuts over suspension,dog bone & seat


Added on August 4, 2012, 7:59 pmi found ou the the CVT gear act very weird... if the car is going uphill more than 25degree. it will always stick below 2000rpm... and never go up the 2000rpm. at D mode, it always keep changing the gear 1 up and 1 down.

but if u switch to softronic... the rpm can go up more than 2000rpm and change gear using shiftronic. and never drop gear if u maintain.

that where the weird sound come from the engine when go uphill...

20-30% boost on the sound quality of my speaker(i change my speaker. not using the stock anymore). with the rubber sound proof i already reduce the outside noise. after add the soundproof mats. another 20-30% improve. less 10-20% tyres noise. engine might have a bit like 5% noise reduced.

now go over pot hole less noise too... thats my experience for now... i will condition to do the sound proofing from time to time until i am satisfy.. might not be as good as bimmer... but at least 80-90% similar.

hi guys, after long time no contact with my friend, today had a chat with friend of mine in prtn. Try check ur car battery, whether there is a brown layer under battery terminal. Its actually inform of round shape. Iinm, normally oem battery dont come with that, it just a couple of rm, below rm 5 which available in any battery shop or even prtn sc. If i not mistaken, they call it battery terminal protector. My friend said that, maybe that can help to lessen the flicker of light when ac compressor kick coz the voltage wont drop too much when it kicks. It also help to protect the terminal from having the white sulfuric dust or what they call to the terminal.Hope this help.

About the recent recall. Its related to vvt sprocket, n if leak or crack, they change it to a new unit, n it will take only around couple of hours max compare to owv change.

Sorry not much can help nowadays. Regards.

For the month of June, Proton Edar, Nasim (Peugeot) and Isuzu Malaysia joined the list of companies who has stopped sharing detailed breakdown of their sales performance with MAA. However in the case of Isuzu Malaysia, it was easy to link its pick-up truck segment total figures with the D-Max as it is the company's sole pick-up model.


Sos

Why? O.o DRB decided not to reveal it? hmm...But it seems like UMW started to provide the data again.
