i used the 3 steps start up method and still got this over cranking sound. Well it is not only the over crank sound but the abnormal rev, look at the rpm meter.

Thank you for the support bro!

wow got update now on GPS...next service i will ask them update for me.

that's what i was told to do as well, however, doesn't solve the problem....

Hi brother Dhuang, yes I always here, just in lurking mode...
Usually people no posting if no problem with their car.
Meaning, when you see this thread going slow, it is because the faulty cases is decreasing.. LOL!

yeah, me too. Hazard lights on, esp if i use this method to start, insert key fob-press brake and start.. still trying several methods to start engine for the best way.

Anyone experiencing the fog misting in front of the windscreen near the two holes? Still haven figured whethers its leaking or standard. Go SC they say its standard

Try Press the brake pedal kau kau before pressing the start key !!!( until you feel the brake is stiff).

Mine also overcrank often and try the 3 step start oso the same but after reading in FB that you have to press
the brake pedal with full force during starting and No More Overcrank happen. hope this helps.

my car engine overcranking sound used to happen very morning without miss, sometimes afternoon too. no oil leak however.

i have to leave my car at cose for 7 days to let them solve this problem.


now, after 2 months of engine starting, i only got once very loud and long overcranking sound, others are short but seldom.

the chances of hearing a good engine starting sound is more often now. I still using the long start method.

if you have serious overcranking sound like mine, i think it is better to have it check. If it is seldom happen and no oil leaking, then just leave it.

there is no guarantee it is 100% solved. Not of what i know of. maybe for latest batch..

I cant really tell listening to Rufez's but Rich and 37867 are really obvious. Now I don't know if I have it or not until I can listen and compare to one which is OWV free.

Engine stall/cut off when engaging into "R" and the once in a blue moon where the odometer when up and down erratically almost to the point of stalling when the car is stationary are the 2 main issues I would like to see an end to.

I know some of you would say those are not major issues... I just prefer not to have those niggling feelings at the back of my mind that my car will go into those "mood" unexpectedly. And that I have to shrug my shoulders when it happened in front of my family, friends and even strangers.... I am telling my colleagues it's a great car, the joy of driving it etc. but when it come to questions like "any issues?".....

my car got change the owv after 2 week i got car,with no oil leak,just overcranking sound every morning...after i change the owv,the overcranking sound happen twice(or mayb i didt press brake enough deep or i rushing to start the car ...)
the last cranking sound i heard from my car is july...now already 2 month+ i never heard the sound no wonder cold or hot weather start...

and i also didn't follow the start step,i just fob in key>press start once>then press brake n start only


just sharing

hmmmm..once in a blue moon. from april until now...i encounter only 4 times... 3 times i did not practice the long way to start...the last time was i park car and it was not turn on more than 24 hours. then when i insert key fob and engage brake pedal and straight press the button again there was over cranking sound.
until now i not sure i have OWV but i think mine was not that severe compare to other members encounter that problem. early batch not sure all got that problem or certain cars only. not sure. we dont know the definite answer..

nope, tried that as well, don't work.

T.T

dun tend to get misunderstood...
that update i mentioned is for Bosch HU, not sure got GPS map update or not...

Hey guys, anyone one of you wash ur cars at the Bling Detailing Haus nearby COSE??

No problem bro!

Correct! All those days where this thread is at super speed is because so many of us the new user of this car discussing our findings of the car. Nowadays, that rush has subsided significantly. Thats a good way to put it though. The existence of Prevoc FB is a major contributing factor as well though.

AFAIIC, nope. Never knew there was one there anyway.

On the other note, Good Morning Guys!

Happy Tuesday and -ing to all!

Bro Dhuang,

That Bling Detailing Haus was the place late bro Fulat went before also and had the "water wax" thingi which is actually Express Shine.

Next time can gather people all go together hahah

Ooh.. Nice. I think I might missed that part bro. Hmm, good choice. Just with our uncertain weather really2 a shame to have our car washed, waxed then rained upon.. Like what happened last saturday..
