i'm using bosch aerotwin, using size 22/16.
but i noticed, if use 24/16 should be no problem for some, you may try to adjust the position of the wiper arm.

i wonder if use 24/18, can or not.

hi guys, i need your advice.. this morning when i was trying to press the brake to start the car somehow the brake feels "locked". I wasn't able to fully depress the brake and it wont go all the way down. I had to press it slightly harder and the light did turn green and i was able to start the car. I never had this problem before..is it normal?

Hi palgo47, that's normal. That means your brake booster working properly. You can simulate again by,

1. When your engine off, pump brake pedal few times. Tadaa..now its very hard to press rite. That's because any residual vacuum was relieved from booster.
2. Everything will going back to normal once you start your car. icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys. So has anyone got the poor radio reception issue fixed? I am going to carry out the engine Lube service soon with castrol edge professional 5w40. First 1k service was on shell helix ultra fully synthetic. Can't wait to feel the difference.

Hi JJTam,

You can try to find out the root cause by unplug any device/ charger from 12V socket (both front and back) and USB connector. Your radio reception will be much more clearer. After that, reduce the brightness of the HU and you can drive happily.

The reason why?.

1. HU too easy to get interference. There is nothing wrong with the HU. The electrical engineer didn't do much experiment/ try and error when developing this car. mad.gif
2. The charger/ cable/ phone itself. Expensive charger can bring the same problem, because its not about the charger..its about interference.

This also happen happened in previous proton model such as Proton Waja and Satria Neo (this two car I can confirm because I'm driving it).

Morning fellas! 1 question to ask. When i was trying to park my car n i switch to P mode, the car is like not reli stop but like will move slightly abit to set to P mode. Is this normal? or is it happen on me only? sigh..
*
Selecting P-mode means mechanically locks the output shaft of transmission, but of because of the differential in gearbox, your car might move a bit especially parking in slope.

To maintain your gearbox in long run, use P+handbrake when parking. Don't use P-mode during jam but use N+handbrake or just press brake pedal thumbup.gif

Haha..Dun worry. It's normal. Some other car such as Kia Forte also like that (moving more than Preve). If you still worry, ask the technician during service k biggrin.gif
