I had same experience almost the same with u, very bad PESC. What i do is screw off the 5 years warranty & servicing my car outside workshop..if u follow the manual servicing book it should have no problem like mine. 87k km still like new..

Yeap...it towards to reputable workshop to be exact. For me in johor bahru i always go to Era Maju or Goodyear Soh Brothers. BUT im not saying all PESC are bad..some off them are. I got a friend Singchaii also work as head proton service centre but he very friendly, trusted & polite person..different what im dealing in JB. If only im near where he work i dont mind to service my car to him.

So where he work?


Actually , after I think about it. At outside workshop, you can request the technicians to install best parts for your car while in Proton SC, everything will be from PROTON and it is an open secret that most proton car's parts are from crony's companies which resulted some quality issues. Am i right? smile.gif

I forgot but u can PM him..

actually how true the crony's parts are im not sure but buying parts from spare part shop cheaper a bit than straight send servicing at PESC. About the quality issue i have no issue but i always trusted proton ori parts other than other 3rd party parts maker.

what car u on bro?

OH is a LYN member haha ..

Well, just now you mentioned about screw off the 5 years warranty and services. That 5 years warranty and services will cost you 0 for any problem to your car right? So why still go to outside workshop?
I am driving my dad's old Vios, so far no major problem but I am very interest on Preve, has been checking on Preve issues and Proton SC issues from time to time.. hopefully they will improve because I do not wish to visit them often .. sweat.gif

if outside sparepart you think the part have good quality, then think again.
even if i know proton parts are may not of the best quality, a lot of smaller workshop outside used cheaper spare parts which charge you cheaper of coz. unless those reputable one with a lot of supercar and classy car, they use reputable sparepart which if you going there, it cost high also.
Well I dunno. People said that Proton car entered SC came out the problem still theres... sweat.gif

No need to mention that Proton engine is reliable ... run for 10 yrs or 20 yrs still good. Everyone knows. The engine is from Mitsubishi.

I think peoples in this post more concern about quality or material problem with Proton or Services with Proton. Such as ...

1. Power windows failed
2. Steering burn with high voltage
3. lock not working....f
4. Door handle dropped
5. Leaked into car
5. etc .....

These are the most headache problem from Proton.
Nope, nowadays Proton using Campro engine which was a joint development between Lotus and Proton, no longer using Japanese engines , so a lot of people doubt its reliability as well.

spare part stil cheap,cheaper than the recommended u might end-up buying fake parts
from the latest market trending from CBT site,people who want to buy KIA,dugong & city end-up buying preve

that can be said towards early generations of campro pre-2006, which installed in early batch of gen2,same which much worst scenario affecting kia cars pre-2007 where the famous crankshaft bocor thing(u ca ask any nearby pomen  about this femes kia engine bocor one, need full overhaul not just top) affecting most of naza ria after 3-4 years of usage
