Hi..i just got my White cfe 3 days ago.

At the beginning, it was so good..but then when the next day..when i brake my preve..it sounds like duk duk duk...same problem. Once i heard the sounds, which is quite irritating to me, quickly i went to SC. They told me that it was because of brake i dont know how to call it, is getting rusty.huh...then i have to wait till they gimme a call because that SC didnt have any stock for that.

Then my 3rd day with my whity...here it goes, another new problem comes. When the engine started, it sounds like its going to die. i dont know how to describe it.

BUT, PLEASE ANYONE OUT THERE..HELP ME...WHAT SHOULD I DO? icon_question.gif

Any suggestion?
1. should i go for ECU remap?
2.Should i change the engine oil? as far as i know my car is last year stock, coz i've got rebate 3.5k when i bought it.
3.Is it under warranty in changing the engine oil?

Kindly advice notworthy.gif

yeah, saw ur post on prevoc forum.

i. wait for them to call for the replacement brake disc. the sound happens because of warped disc.
ii. update the ECU, can be done when you set appointment to settle the above prob.

owh ok...so that mean i dont need to wait till my 1st service rite? i can update my ECU even my car is only 5 days old? I need to rectify with u first before i go serang SC. coz i dont want them to kelentong me because of i am a female. nod.gif

unfortunately that is the current setting on the car BCM (some electronic device that control the car features). but no harm highlighting this to the service centre or proton icare, probably they might look into this matter and consider an update for the BCM..
as for lock, our cars don't have siren speaker like the conventional car alarm, thus no sound. if not mistaken alarm use horn.
no need to wait, you can go there before 1st service. when u go there, keep in mind to inform them this:
i. replace the faulty brake disc and don't forget to ask them to do bleeding (they top up and pump the brake fluid, so that the brake will cengkam better)
ii. tell them to reflash the current ECU/TCU/CVT settings as per the bulletin released by proton
the brake feel slow2 becoz of abs i guess..
*

Im not sure bout ask them to reflash current E/T/C settings. where to get the bulletin?
TQ notworthy.gif

Actually you can make appointment with SC, they will check your car chassis number with the system, if your chassis number is affected and included for ECU/TCU reflash, they will do it for you.

anyone from Kuching?

I want to ask anyone if they have same problem like mine.
i've done my 1k service in Kuching SC nearby airport. I did plan to change my disc brake and also remap my preve. However, the staff @ this SC claimed that they dont have any stock rite now for the disc brake. & i have to wait for them to contact me..but until now no ANswer from them...

Is it we need to wait for the stock to come in OR is that because of the laziness blood flows in their body?
