em,they shud readjust the headlight after replacing it. next time,remind them to realign it after replace the bulb. it is more accurate using the tools at sc coz the driver's side beam shud be lower than the left side on passanger to reduce glare. there are rules on light projection,cant remember.
haiya,those foreman,always like that,lazy to do a small job. |

QUOTE(EBOLD @ Aug 2 2013, 12:45 PM) hi, I do have that squeaky sound but didn't care much about it. As long as it works fine but end of this year i'll change it to Bendix brake pads and steel braided hose as well.i just did 40000km servis for EB CFE. Complained about jerking, the mechanic reflash TCU. then, got problems with engine mapping. after starting the engine, it will rev from 900 to 1100 briefly 3 to 4 times before idling. Then the mechanic tried to remap the ECU. but then he wanted to change the map sensor. Since in Taiping, the part must be ordered first. I came with fewer problems, but left with more worries. Another problem: Rear brakes give squeaking sound. The mechanic open the brake pads, showed me some dust in the groove on the pad. He said, cleaning it will eliminate the unwanted sound. But, as expected, the squeaking sound is still there. Any help or experience from forumer?  This post has been edited by akchang: Aug 5 2013, 11:29 AM |

Just got my EB in Elegant Brown last Friday evening. Drove during the weekend. Great ride. Only thing my wife complains on the loud sound of the fan after engine on. Feels like sitting in an aircraft about to take off. Done almost 200km without even flicking through the manual. Need to do this before Raya.
Before this was driving a kelisa and kancil. So need time getting use to parking this big baby. But I found out yesterday, because of the reverse camera, it is easier for me to do reverse parking as compare to forward especially is tight parking area. Anyone knows where can get cheap side moulding in Shah Alam area. Asked a few quoted around RM220. |

Saw a sharing in another forum earlier by one of the CPS member - That only happens when your engine temp is above normal. Advice to get your fan checked & monitor coolant level to avoid excessive overheating. and that is one good bell to your adulterer... For CFE the auto cooler triggers On when the temperature is higher than around 85 degrees. And once it is above 100degree, the Cooler mode goes to the 2nd level whereby you will be hearing louder sound of the Fan running. |

Any help or experience from forumer? called proton wecare and one of the technical support told me, the difficulties to start the engine and revving before rpm idling may be due to crank angle sensor. wondering what the SC done to my Exora. SQUEAKING BRAKING some forumers as well as another forums suggested to use bendix. is it ok? anyone has experience? afaik, the brake pad is not under warranty package. with that said, it should not void our warranty, aite? any exora-lawyer here?  |

What type of engine oil (mineral/semi/full) you use also depends how often your exora cfe fan is turn on while ignition off.just sharing my experience, semi/Fully sync oil (esp. SHELL/Torco) after some hard driving and shut off the engine, the autofan kicks in for less than 40sec. Mineral base oil it will do more like a min or two. |
