care to share who's/where's your agent? thinking of buying exora but after election.. who knows if PR wins  whistling.gif  biggrin.gif
but nowadays it seems plenty of car agents give discounts/extras/rebates on their vehicles.. made me wonder are there many people out there who hold their car purchase to after election?  hmm.gif

I was planning to buy EB after election, but went for a test-drive and found out got RM988 rebate until 31 Mar 2013, not sure there will be another promo like this so I just grab it. I'm from Ipoh and I bought it from Mulia Persona, they have a very good reputation. Other dealers I went only offer tinted and RM50 fuel.

maybe something wrong on the caliper piston seal, this is happen on my previous car. found that the seal dah koyak / loose, so the piston cannot work properly when pushing the brake pad.

and other possibility maybe the brake hydraulic hose defect, causing uneven expansion along the hydraulic line. so to overcome this, just change the hose or better upgrade to steel braided hydraulic line, eg http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2088001 , http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1491808 .

we are now doing one set promo for this Locktact pedal lock

how to use?

As simple as ABC

Just pull to lock , and once lock engine cannot be started ( using Y socket ) No cutting of wires , all plug and play , so don't have to worry about voiding warranty

And double lock, just press the lock behind to lock twice

nod.gif

Last set left , going for only Rm 285 nett

and comes with 3 years warranty

Nothing except when you want to sell after 3-5 years this year difference will kick more than 2K of the price. Since they are giving RM988 now for 2013 model better go with 2013. Only RM1K you are getting more from 2012 which will not make it up for you in the future. (personal Opinion only) cool2.gif

how about fuel consumption compare from 10W-40?
is it much more better?

now I using 15W-50, more heavy
*
15w-50,off course heavy since the viscosity grade is higher than standard.FC is the same but feel lighter engine

my humble opinion

I think the car itself is the same, I was hoping maybe the problem found in earlier batches could be rectify in later batches. I think 2012 is the 1st batch but 2k rebate is alot... even when you resell it in the future, you won't get 2k extra for the different of 1 year make so 2k rebate is the best deal! add in the 988 = 2988... that's alot... now I'm a little sad why I don't take 2012 car sad.gif

My ride had the similar problem and just last week only the SC replaced the whole right side unit for me under Warranty.
Was waiting for the part to arrive for the last 2 months.
Now it is bright as the left side smile.gif

Get your oil control valve changed at proton sc

Thanks....
The SC have already ordered the part for me as they don't have stock and waiting for the arrival...
Managed to see the part below the Petrol Tank and took Photo also.
The ones with issue are the earlier Batch and is in Green colour and the new Batch comes in a different colour (heard it is Brown). And understand that it doesn't show problems in all the Cars so they are replacing only based on complain from riders..... smile.gif

Pls see the photo

add me in >> silver standard CFE.

rm69k is worth the value. great power, spacious. although the rubbery material is of bad workmanship - the rough edge on my sterling wheel, and certain areas in the car. great air cond. dark window and screen (non tinted) but it is in dark color, so u feel a bit "cooler". hey, it comes with 4 disc brake...same as the 80k cfe.

oh the rim, is not sporty at all, it's just a cover. maybe trade in for a better one in future.

now i need to get some modding done...
who can recommend me place to:
1. install spoiler n rear mirror.
2. body lining and design body sticker.
3. install dvd ...what u call that, mini tv in the car?
4. tint window.
preferably with quote pricing.

stay in kl, so moving in kl or selangor will be fine with me. i want good quality. since it a new car.

i think i will skip the fog lamp, since i wont be using it frequently...
but erm, i still curious on the pricing. hehe if still within budget, and worth it...can la.

now already running 200+km...so far no biggie problem, just noise of wind on driver side when cruising above 90kmph.

Just a sharing if you are upgrading the HU to a DVD unit.
The Orginal roof DVD player is a stand alone player and it is just using the FM receiver for the audio.
So playing the same video in both the Monitors, is not possible when you install a new HU together with the Orginal roof DVD player.
So ask the Workshop to run an additional cable from the HU (RCA Audio/Video out) to the Roof DVD player which you can connect to the Aux in the Roof DVD player (using a Stereo pin type connector).
By doing this, you will have the choice to watch the same video in both players or different if you choose to be(by using headphones to the roof unit).

If you are having problems in loosing the audio while connecting the Roof player via the FM, you can try out the below method (since I'm using a power amp for the Music ystem, the FM signal disturbances is a nuisence smile.gif ).
There are 2 Head/ear phone sockets in the Roof DVD player, you can also make use of one to connect to the front DVD player (AV) so that you can hear the sound via the Car Audio Speakers directly. (I'm also exploring to see whether we can also include the video. Will share if I'm successful).

mine, EB cocoa grey.. went to penang today..odo after come back 930km.. preparing for 1st service.. so far no problem.. smooth cruise, great pickup power and quiet with little wind sound even when cruising at 140..
preparing for soundproofing next month..
btw, i heard proton service centre use semi-synt oil.. anyone had tried fully-synt oil for EB?
*
Adding my penny here (amatuer smile.gif )....
Suggest to do the Sound proofing phase by phase inorder to enjoy the difference smile.gif
Do a study first to see which type of Sound proofing you are interested in (e.g reduce sound from outside or give more clarity for your Sound system).
I tried a balanced one without much research but the result is impressive rclxm9.gif .

Done the doors inner part to reduce the sound vibration using a good US Brand light weight sheets.
And also all the 4 tyre arcs....

Just for a thrill the rest of the Sound Proofing I done myself rclxms.gif but it was a very hectic work sweat.gif
Phase 2 added one more layer for door (outer layer) using a normal SP.

Phase 3 added for the flooring. I'st 2 rows using a good Japanese material.

And just now completed phase 4 adding for the Roof (leaving the last row as the Aircon piping is covered completely).

Positive: Very immpressive.... quiet and You get crsytal Bass notes for the Music. Since the outside noice is very minimum only less effort required for chating inside the Car biggrin.gif
Negative: You are adding more weight to the Car. For me intotal I've added 12 to 15kg for the whole work sad.gif which will affect a bit on the FC..

If you can do a through study on this and use the appropriate materials at the appropriate places, you can reduce the materials as well as get better result.
