I think the meter only an estimation base on your previous FC. I also want to know, if it come to 0km, how much far we can go?

if display set to ' distance to empty' , when reach '0', the display will just flash and the fuel low light comes on. ~ 35 - 40km. When I refilled, the tank took up 53L! (capacity:55L), too close for comfort.

yes , 2L balance which means ~ 10 - 20km (depending on traffic and how we drive). So the computer is giving ample warning from the moment it starts showing the low fuel light.

Hi All Bros,

New owner of eb with first service due soon. So far mileage is 930.

In my 2wks with the car I have noticed a few characteristics. Would like to ask for some advice or feedback.

Here goes:

1) Understand that cvt whine is a characteristic of the car. This is especially apparent when accelerating at 2k rpm and above. Also apparent when coming to a stop while stepping on the brakes. The sound is like a high pitch whine like when sitting in plane and you hear the jet engines from inside the cabin when the plane take off. Normal?

2) Acceleration in this mpv is quite good. I am seriously considering installing the racechip s to up the power. Will this void the warranty? The manufacturer claims it will not. Any Bros here can share experience with racechip upgrade?

3) Will strut bars, vertical and horizontal undercarriage braces and rear anti roll bars help in the handling or ride quality of the car?

4) Thinking of doing insulflex sound proofing on floor, beneath wheel arches and under arch panels, doors and lower firewall. Anybody tried this before and kindly share the results?

5) What are the best drl lights for this car? Am looking at Philips or osram or other good quality units. Also what position on the bumper is best to install drls?

Many Tks to all for your generous feedback to a noobie!!!

Cheers.

1. turbo sound if start be noticeable at 2k rpm. normal
2. as long as you don't cut any wires and remove the unit if issue arise, i don't think any issue with warranty. but better consult SC and the manual book
3. mixed opinion. i personally against adding strut bars unless you want to tweak your absorbers too. car was setup by lotus already, why we want to make it stiffer. make more research first before deciding.
4. NA
5. get good quality and try experiment best location. my friend put under the grille or above the lower small lights

This is not CVT, its coming from turbo spool up to max peak at 2k-4k rpm. Its sound coolll..  thumbup.gif
Anyway the sound when you stopping is from CVT changing transmission ratio.


2) Acceleration in this mpv is quite good.  I am seriously considering installing the racechip s to up the power.  Will this void the warranty? The manufacturer claims it will not. Any Bros here can share experience with racechip upgrade?
Racechip is not advised by Kristof(CVT adviser for proton)

Chiptuning and AT gearboxes:

First of all it's never good to chiptune engines that use a AT gearbox, second of all I don't recomment to chiptune this CFE engine in particular! We have run quite some test, and soms tests with blow off valves not working causing overpressure from the turbo (that is what they will do) with disastereous consequences! This engine is still highly based on a non turbo engine, therefore components are allready on their limit.
As for the CVT 220Nm is indeed a maximum when it goes for mass production. same as a VW golf GTI is max 220hp for production, this does not mean you don't have any reserves but from that point you will shorten the lifetime. Why is this so critical for CVT? A CVT uses a steel belt pressed in between two pulleys, by varying clamping on the second and first pulley you shift. When you are not shifting you still need clamping force to push the belt so it wouldn't slip. This pressure is based on the torque the CVT needs to handle -> high torque? high clamping force! this torque is told to our control unit from the engine ECU. When you chip your car however the ECU will tell us the stock 205Nm and not the real 235Nm resulting in possible damage. Even though we do have some safety build in, i highly discourage chipping the ECU.
Keep in mind that proton will retract warranty in these matters!

3) Will strut bars, vertical and horizontal undercarriage braces and rear anti roll bars help in the handling or ride quality of the car?
Not sure. But rear strut bars and rear anti roll should improve under steer.

4) Thinking of doing insulflex sound proofing on floor, beneath wheel arches and under arch panels, doors and lower firewall. Anybody tried this before and kindly share the results?
No idea.

5) What are the best drl lights for this car? Am looking at Philips or osram or other good quality units. Also what position on the bumper is best to install drls?
No idea too.

Many Tks to all for your generous feedback to a noobie!!!

1.) thats the turbo sound.. if change to open pod, it will sound like kepish! kepish!, (already changed mine)

2.) racehip - go ahead n install.. rm1800.. will not void warranty coz no wire cutting.. plug n play.. got some
forumer inhere alraedy install it.. search for him

3.) yes, it does helps.. already install fullsets of UR bars.. improve A LOT..

4.) insulflex floor - not done yet (mahal)
insulflex beneath wheel arches and under arch panels - will reduce around 20% noise only.. already done it
insulflex door - some say have effect, some say no effect.. i do STP gold + bomB.. SATISFIED already..hehe
insulflex lower firewall - better to use STP gold / bomb.. use insulfex got no effect..

5.) i dont like drl...hahahahaha tongue.gif

Leaking oil from the hose pipe that going up on the picture.

Saw this on Facebook fan page. Some say its defect from 1st batch until now. SC will only change it if leaking detect. This is know issue by Proton SC but they just keep quiet about it. Anyone who do they next services should check it.

Edit: Only CFE engine.
