I replaced my rear tinted last week, after 3 years and alot of bubbles @ demister line. After tint, no demister damage at all, becos at the same night i already tested for few minutes.

My advise is, if new car dun replace it, if start to bulge, wait until alot of bubbles, that time i can confirm the glue is very weak already, so no risk of demister damage.

My understanding is, original is the best.

Yes, send back to Proton to change windscreen is better, they will use original bonding material for that. But how about workmanship? At factory, i mean those car factory @ Tanjung Malim, they might use machine for those work, accuracy, protection all under quality plan. At Proton authorise SC, even COSE, i dun think they got such equipment for those work.

Same case like my car kena buttseck last time, i actually got 2 options. Option 1 is pull back the whole panel to ori shape and touch up, but will not 100% perfect, another is cut away the panel and welding the new one on that, seems better right? But no, the welding is no longer same as factory one even repair @ Proton authorize workshop, becos ori is using spot welding, new one they only can use edge welding, reliability is not guarantee, anti rust gone, and can check easily whether the car is involve in accident by scanning.

My opinion, if he really want demister, just change the rear windscreen, and the car is not 'virgin' anymore, no doubt about that. Just depends 'virginity' is important for him or not.

i can pretty sure this is faulty rather than safety measures. Too much air leak from outside, and it leak through the vent @ the left front windscreen. I personally tested few times, when the lorry in front is like hutan bakar, i switch off the aircon and i never smell the polluted air at all.

I might consider to seal it permanently.

No, my FC is getting worst for city run now, especially now using 5W50, this thicker oil does affect the FC, not much, around 5-10%, approximate -10km/bar, but acceleration really affect alot, damn heavy to rev.

Next service i will go to clean my throttle body and reflash ECU, found a shop that can do about RM120. Now idle during cold start is up down up down, and sei fo twice during cornering as i mentioned before, the shop said the throttle body is very dirty and might affect the air flow meter since 80k never clean at once.

I use 5W30 all the time since my car is 17k mileage, until now almost 80k only change to 5W50 due to cheap price @ Tesco, so i just give it a try, mana tau the effect is huge for me, since i adi getting use with thinner oil for so long time.

0W40 is OK, 50 is too thick adi.

Yup, the RPM go up and down, not much, 1000-1300-1000 and stay like that for around half a minutes, can know it by hearing. But not often.

The EO itself won't affect FC, but the driving style.

Thicker EO will make engine response more sluggish, so unavoidable driver will press throttle a little bit deeper, thats why FC increase.

The effect is more apparent during city drive, highway drive FC remain same as before.
Anyway, as i mentioned, just around 5-10% different, not too much for that.

sienz...

Nola, no mood to work...maybe MC too long, already too get used of it. This week resume work, everyday is like 'jalan bangkai lari daging'...

just DIY seal the aircon intake vent by sponge. Imagine it act as external air filter.

No, no glue involve. Just alot of sponge and squezee in the hole, it will hold firmly. You need 5-6 pieces of car wash sponge to seal it, the hole is big.

Yes, the sponge fillep up there.

There is a drain hole below the airbox.

Added on December 31, 2012, 6:02 pmthat hole is nothing to do with engine heat release. It purely act as aircon intake vent whenw e choose air circulation from outside. about the problem is the design let alot of dirty air aka smell from outside even we choose internal circulation. I have no choice but seal it with sponge, if not effective, i will just seal with insufflex next time.
